Eleven-year-old Chen Hongjiao from Sichuan province poses with her doll, received as a gift after arriving at a Hong Kong hospital, August 23, 2006. Chen regained hope this week when a sponsor flew her and her parents, both farmers, to Hong Kong to remove the growth of a cyst near her spinal cord which left her unable to walk or go to school since 2003.
