On Sunday, a special New Year's party was held in the First Affiliated University of Harbin Medical University in Harbin, capital of Heilongjiang province.
50 children suffering from leukemia were invited to the corridor of the hematopathology department, where a meeting place had been festooned with decorations and cartoon balloons.
"To avoid infection, the children have to be under quarantine during the treatment," said Li Limin, director of the inpatient ward. "Therefore, we chose the corridor in order to provide them a chance to play together with their peers."
