An Arizona woman says she believes that she found a note from a Chinese prisoner pleading for help in a purse she bought at Walmart.
The woman said she bought the purse at the superstore in Sierra Vista, Arizona, and later found the note, written completely in Chinese, reported KPTV.
She had the note translated three times to be certain that the message was correct.
The note's author writes that he or she is a prisoner in China being forced to work about 14 hours a day with little food or medical attention.
The alleged prisoner pleads for help from whoever reads the note, but the woman who found it said she does not have the means personally to help the prisoner, so she hopes something comes out of sharing it.
