During the period, his wife took leave of more than one month from work and slept less than three hours a day to take care of him. She cried every time she was interviewed by the media.

10,000 arrested in Fujian township over phone scams

Once a place of simple and honest living better known for tea production, Anxi county in Fujian province has more recently become the base of phone scammers. Reporters who visited there recently found that about 10,000 villagers in Zhangkeng township had been arrested in connection with the crime in recent years. The arrests were mostly of relatives and friends hired by fraudsters from Taiwan, which is opposite Fujian. The chief of one village in the township said many houses had been left empty after villagers got rich from phone scams and bought property elsewhere.
