It is understood that Wei Wei was hit by a car and bounced off about 1 meter when he crossed the road, and immediately fell unconscious after being hit, and was DIAGNOSed as intracranial hemorrhage in the hospital by CT examination, and whether there was damage in other parts of the body is unknown.
At this time, it is more than ten o'clock in the evening, there is a greater risk of transporting critically ill children at night, coupled with the long distance, the child is facing risks such as cerebral hernia and respiratory arrest, and other injuries are not clear, which makes the transfer team into a dilemma.

After the operation, under the meticulous treatment and care of the medical staff, WeiWei successfully removed the epidural drainage tube on December 1 and successfully withdrew the aircraft on December 3.
From coma to gradually regain consciousness, wei wei woke up and said the sentence "I want to drink coke", so that the medical team that has been hanging a heart put down its heart, wei wei can be considered to have passed the first hurdle.
【Wei Wei reading in a hospital bed】
On December 13, Wei Wei was lying on his hospital bed watching cartoons played on the TV set in his hospital room, and after recovery, he was able to eat by himself, read books by himself, and when the wounds and fractures healed, he could return to school and return to normal life.
