Andersen's story of “Little Match Girl” has a real-life Chinese version in Guiyang (zh) [1]. The 8 years old girl's family make their living by collecting rubbish. On 20 of Jan, the weather was -3 to -1 degree celsius and she tried to warm her hands by lighting matches. The photos were first posted at photobase.cn and reposted at 163.com.
