An unwell Chinese woman working away from home has received a care package from her concerned parents which contained a whole cow.

On March 7, a woman posted a video of herself receiving the heavy package at her home in Beijing.

She says in the video that the package, sent from her hometown in the Chinese region of Inner Mongolia, contains a whole cow.

The 33-year-old woman, surnamed Chang, said her father bought the cow near the grasslands in her hometown, which is known for quality beef and lamb, had it butchered, and sent it to her.

She said such prime beef cannot be easily bought near her home.

The unusual package arrived because she told her parents in a call that she felt unwell.

Chang was shocked at the size of the delivery, which was bigger than her fridge.
