A Relative with a Huge Debt in China

I received an email from one of the young relatives in Beijing this morning. He listed his huge debt with a dozen banks in China, and a huge amount of money he borrowed from his friends. Now he cannot pay off his financial obligations. He wanted to liquidate the real estate of the family old court house in Beijing and got his share to pay the debt.

Brother Jimmy didn't go back to WuGu last night. After the online family gathering on WeChat at 7 o'clock, he told me he would head back for WuGu. But he was too exhilarated, lingered in the neighborhood, returned home, and stayed overnight without notifying me. 

I had no idea he was sleeping at home, when I went to his place to collect the leftover from the refrigerator this morning. I had no one to blame but myself for being too optimistic about Brother Jimmy's mental condition. Brother Jimmy couldn't copy with any dramatic shock which might in return cause his mental breakdown.

I made an agreement with WuGu accordinly today. Brother Jimmy can only stay at home overnight with my permission. And I will stay with him at home to make sure he takes the medication timely. I don't mind taking the responsibilities, because it is the least I can do for a dear brother with unspecified Schizophrenia.
