A university student has managed to prevent her parents from divorcing by quitting her studies and taking a job at a factory in Guangzhou to pay for treatment of her father's sexual dysfunction.

The daughter, Zhao, was in her second year of university in June when she heard of her parents' plan to divorce because of her 45-year-old father's problem, the Hunan Online reported.

Refusing to let her family split up, Zhao found work and forced her father to see a doctor when she had earned enough money to pay for his medical treatment.

Zhao's parents were so touched by their daughter's efforts they have given up their plan to divorce.
