But all these will be changed. Shenyang Sunline plastic & aesthetic hospital cooperated with Chinese Agape Foundation will provide free medical treatment for 150 cleft lip and cleft palate patients like Tao. The cost of this project will be 400,000 yuan ($ 58,800).

“As a specific hospital, it’s our duty to help people who need a hand,” said Shi Lingzhi, president of Sunline.

 “To the deformities, what we do will not only change their appearances, but also their fates,” she added.
