In July 2020, Guo Xuecheng, a Shandong veteran who started his business in Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province, was unfortunately diagnosed with acute leukemia, which is what we usually call blood cancer.
The only way to cure this disease is through a bone marrow transplant, but when the doctor asked his mother, Ms. Zhang, to do a bone marrow match first, Ms. Zhang, who loved her son, twisted and refused.
Guo Xuecheng
Then, Ms. Zhang confided to her son a mystery buried in her heart for 27 years, and Guo Xuecheng, who learned of her own life, had three fathers overnight...
Three days after birth, he changed his parents and joined the army with honor
Guo Xuecheng grew up in Xiajin County, Dezhou, Shandong, but before he suffered from leukemia, he did not know that he was actually born in Xianyang, Shaanxi, thousands of miles away, and what he did not expect was that his parents, who had loved him since childhood, were actually his adoptive parents.
One early morning in the summer of 1993, an ordinary peasant family in Xianyang, Shaanxi Province, welcomed a new member of the family in the hospital. Looking at this angry baby boy, his biological parents were sad.
The reason for their sad faces was simple, because this was already the third son in the family, and they really couldn't afford to raise this child. As authentic farmers, their income comes from the few acres of thin fields in the family, and the meager income plus the need to raise two children has made this peasant family stretched, not to mention that now it has added a mouth waiting to be fed.
Why should such a poor child be born again? In fact, this does not blame the peasant couple, due to the lack of contraceptive knowledge, when the child's mother found out that she was pregnant. But if you want to drain the water, the physical harm to the mother is too great, and the two mouths are very entangled in whether to drain the child.
Later, as the mother's belly bulged day by day, feeling the child moving in her belly, an inseparable connection was established between the mother and the child, and since then the mother who exudes motherhood has completely stopped the idea of miscarriage.
When the child is born, even if they are not able to raise him, they can find a good family for him to adopt, which is much better than killing the child who has not yet seen the beautiful world.
So, when the child was born in the hospital, the sad father finally gritted his teeth and contacted an infertile couple in Dezhou, Shandong Province, through well-wishers.
Guo Changjiang and Ms. Zhang of Xiajin County, Dezhou, Shandong Province, have not conceived their own children after many years of marriage, and they have not been able to seek medical treatment for many years. The disheartened couple can only break their obsession with having children, and inquire in many ways in the society about the preparation of adopting a baby, and the regret that the couple cannot be parents.
After a matchmaking between enthusiastic people, they learned that there was a newborn baby boy in Xianyang, Shaanxi Province, whose parents were unable to support him, and decided to entrust it to a well-wisher for adoption. After hearing this news, the couple was ecstatic and took a train to Shaanxi on the same day.
Due to the relatively weak infrastructure at that time, the two people who took various means of transportation arrived at the home of the baby's biological parents on the third day. Knowing from the baby's parents that they had been discharged from the hospital on the day the child was born, Ms. Zhang looked at the dilapidated house and the two young boys, and she knew that the family really had no way to find the couple.
Holding the baby boy in her arms, Ms. Zhang looked at his small face and fell in love with the baby in an instant. The baby's parents saw the couple, although they were dressed very ordinary and did not look like they had money, but looking at their very fond expressions for their children, and seeing the milk powder they bought in advance in their packages, these details made them feel the sincerity of the couple.
Guo Changjiang confessed to the parents of the baby that although they are not rich, they will definitely regard the child as their own in the future and do their best to raise him to grow up. When the baby's mother heard such heartfelt words, she was immediately moved to tears, and regardless of her weak postpartum body, she pulled her husband to kowtow to the two.
Guo Changjiang and Ms. Zhang could not hold back, or suffered from the three of them, and finally ignored the baby's parents' request to leave for dinner, and took the green-skinned train back to Shandong on the same day. On the way home, Guo Changjiang named the baby Guo Xuecheng.

In this way, Guo Xuecheng, who was just 3 days old, changed his parents and became the son of Guo Changjiang and his wife in Xiajin County...
In the new parents' home, Guo Xuecheng has been meticulously cared for, other children have him, what toys he wants, even if the expensive parents will bite their teeth to meet his wishes, Guo Xuecheng slowly grew up in happiness.
Little Guo Xuecheng thought that a family of three would always live happily. However, when he was 8 years old, his parents divorced due to personality incompatibility, and Guo Xuecheng has since followed his mother, Ms. Zhang, and his father will regularly pay them living expenses.
Although he followed his mother, Guo Xuecheng's father still tried his best to do a good job as a father, often going to his school, sending money and food to Guo Xuecheng, and sometimes the father and son would visit the county together on weekends.
For the sake of her son, Ms. Zhang, the mother, did not choose to remarry, but pulled him up with hard work alone. Although Guo Xuecheng experienced his parents' divorce when he was 8 years old, his parents still cared for him as always, so the divorce of his parents did not leave a shadow in Guo Xuecheng's heart.
Guo Xuecheng and his mother, Ms. Zhang
In the blink of an eye, Guo Xuecheng reached the age of 18 and grew into a handsome handsome young man. It was also this year that Guo Xuecheng made a decision to join the army, and his parents fully supported his ideas after hearing his ideas.
Wen Mother's remarriage was happy, and the beginning of the business was difficult
Guo Xuecheng was very fond of sports when he was in school, and he developed a strong physique. As a result, he successfully passed the military examination and became a glorious soldier in the People's Liberation Army.
In the new company, the cheerful Guo Xuecheng soon became the pistachio of the company. He was born with a good voice and could also play the guitar, and when the training was over, the versatile man volunteered to perform in front of the whole company, winning the applause of his comrades.
No matter how difficult the training project, Guo Xuecheng always completed with excellent results, and usually he was also enthusiastic to help his comrades-in-arms, so the entire company had a high evaluation of this handsome and cheerful Shandong boy.
In this way, Guo Xuecheng spent a year in the army, and the whole person became more and more capable. On this day, Guo Xuecheng took advantage of the opportunity of a weekly phone call to first report on the recent training situation with his father Guo Changjiang. Then he dialed his mother again, and the mother on the other end of the phone told him a message that made him happy.
"City, Mom... Ready to find you another stepfather, you see... All right? The mother said with some embarrassment.
"Mom, is it true?" That's great! When Guo Xuecheng heard that his mother wanted to find him a stepfather, he was not only silent, but extremely happy. Since divorcing his father, guo Xuecheng is also very uncomfortable looking at his lonely mother. But as he grew up, he also knew that it was difficult for his parents with different personalities to walk together again, so he often persuaded his mother to remarry and pursue his own happiness, but the mother always said that she would wait until her son got married and she would consider these things, so it dragged on.
Unexpectedly, after a year of enlistment, his mother actually took the initiative to bring up this topic with him, thinking that his mother, who was alone at home, finally figured it out, and looking at the meaning of her mother's words, she and the uncle were already in agreement, and waited for his son to nod his head in agreement.
On the phone, Guo Xuecheng inquired about the future stepfather's situation and teased his mother strangely. "Wait until I go back to drink your second old man's happy wine!" Guo Xuecheng laughed strangely. "Nothing big or small! Take care of yourself in the army, beep..." Mother blushed at his question and hung up the phone in a hurry.
Knowing the news that his mother was going to remarry, Guo Xuecheng was happy at the same time, but also let go of the burden that had been hidden in his heart, and from then on he was more active and upbeat into the next military career. A year later, Guo Xuecheng retired from the army as scheduled and returned to his home in Xiajin County, Texas...
Looking at Guo Xuecheng, who poured him wine, Jiang Shanzeng, a middle-aged man, was at this time as restrained as a blind date girl, rubbing his hands uneasily.
"Dad, I toast you with this glass of wine!" I wish you and my mom a whitehead and an old man!" Jiang Shanzeng did not expect that his stepson did not have any hesitation to call out the title of father, and he was suddenly a little moved, and he quickly took the wine glass and Guo Xuecheng and drank it all. After a glass of wine, the two grandfathers looked at each other and smiled, and the restrained atmosphere just now dissipated instantly.
Ms. Zhang looked at the father and son who drank and ate vegetables and talked about Dashan, without a trace of strangeness, just like the relatives who were reunited in the New Year. This kind of family-friendly scene made her have a long-lost sense of happiness, looking at her and laughing and crying...
After retiring from the army, Guo Xuecheng temporarily settled in his hometown, and he found a job, although the salary was not high, but he was still conscientious. Every day when he came home from work, eating delicious meals made by his mother, and the family of three chatted happily, this ordinary but down-to-earth life made him very satisfied.
The sensible Guo Xuecheng naturally will not forget his "biological" father Guo Changjiang, he knows that this increasingly old man has been silently caring for him, of course, if there is no maintenance payment from his father, their mother and son will have a very difficult life. From time to time, he would take a bottle of wine and go to his "biological father" and accompany him to nag.
When he learned that his stepfather was very kind to him and his mother, Guo Changjiang was not jealous, but only full of relief. Guo Changjiang was only divorced when he and Ms. Zhang's personality was incompatible, and when he saw Ms. Zhang who is now happy and happy, he left only the most sincere blessings.
Guo Xuecheng, who has worked at home for several years, feels more and more that it is difficult to show his fists in the small county of his hometown, and he has always wanted to earn more money so that his parents can live a better life. Just then, a comrade-in-arms close to him found him.
The comrade-in-arms directly told Guo Xuecheng that he had a well-considered entrepreneurial project and asked Guo Xuecheng if he would like to work with him. After carefully inspecting the project, Guo Xuecheng felt that it was very feasible and agreed to his invitation.
In 2019, 26-year-old Guo Xuecheng took the money saved from several years of part-time work, bid farewell to his father, mother and continued, and went to Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province with a dream to start a business with his comrades-in-arms. Seeing Guo Xuecheng going to another city, his two fathers and a mother, although they were very reluctant in their hearts, saw the scrappy Guo Xuecheng, they still agreed to let him go outside.
In the first year of entrepreneurship, Guo Xuecheng and his comrades-in-arms worked every day without sleeping and forgetting to eat, and walked all over the business building in Jiaxing for the project, and they did not even have time to eat physically and mentally, and sometimes they ate a box lunch in a day to deal with it.
Guo Xuecheng once laughed at himself that during that time, he and his comrades-in-arms got up earlier than chickens, slept later than dogs, and ate worse than pigs every day, and as a result, they did not earn money in the end. If they hadn't tempered their will in the two years of the army, they might have collapsed long ago.
The mother of the bone marrow transplant is embarrassed and lies in a hospital bed to know her life
In June 2020, perhaps because of a long period of fatigue, Guo Xuecheng, who was physically strong, suddenly had a fever. After the nucleic acid test result was negative, Guo Xuecheng was relieved and only regarded it as an ordinary fever, thinking that it would be better to hit the hanging bottle for two days.
But what Guo Xuecheng did not expect was that in the next month, he had a fever five or six times in a row, and every time he was well for two or three days, he would have a fever again, and along with the fever, his gums also began to bleed slowly, and dense blood spots appeared on his body.
Guo Xuecheng, who felt that the situation was not right, did not tell his parents about the illness for fear of his family's worries. On July 1, accompanied by his comrades-in-arms, he went to the Second People's Hospital of Jiaxing City to check on his condition. Sure enough, the blood routine showed that his blood picture was very poor, and the doctor suspected that it might be a blood disease, so he asked him to do further examination.
The doctor performed a bone marrow puncture on Guo Xuecheng, and when a steel needle of nearly ten centimeters pierced into his spine, even Guo Xuecheng, who had been tempered by the troops, could not bear the pain of this drill heart. On July 3, after the comrade-in-arms got the bone piercing report, he was first stunned in the same place, and then walked into the ward and said to Guo Xuecheng with a relaxed face: "Xuecheng, there is nothing wrong, the doctor said that the infusion of a few days will do." Guo Xuecheng believed the words of his comrades-in-arms, thinking that he had worried too much before.
However, it didn't take long for him to receive a call from his mother, who cried and said to him on the other end of the phone: "Chengcheng, your illness will definitely be cured, rest assured... It's okay, Mom, just go over and accompany you. Your dad (stepfather) will go if he takes care of the family's affairs. Listening to his mother's sad tone, Guo Xuecheng suddenly had a bad premonition.
He called out to his comrades-in-arms and asked him very seriously what kind of illness he had. Just now, Ms. Zhang, who was notified by her comrades-in-arms, was just unwilling to inform Guo Xuecheng of this bad news at the first time. But looking at his serious expression, the comrade-in-arms hesitated and went forward to grab Guo Xuecheng's hand and told him the results of the bone piercing report.
It turned out that he actually had acute B lymphoblastic leukemia, which was blood cancer in layman's terms. Guo Xuecheng, who heard this news, suddenly felt a whirlwind in the sky, and his heart was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day. He couldn't have imagined that at the age of 27, he was terminally ill.
Subsequently, Guo Xuecheng, who had not slept all night, saw his mother who had come overnight the next day, and looked at his son Ms. Zhang in the hospital bed without tears, but constantly cheered his son, saying that his illness must be cured, do not lose confidence, and qian's question let him not worry.
Encouraged by his mother, Guo Xuecheng also began to regain his confidence, and then he had to fight against the disease, and his mother still expected him to come to the pension, this time he could not fall down no matter what.
But when the doctor asked the mother to do a bone marrow match, the strange behavior of the mother's reluctance to cooperate made Guo Xuecheng a little confused, in this case, Ms. Zhang had to confess the incident 27 years ago to her son, and this also returned to the beginning of the article.
I will not hesitate to ruin my family, and all three fathers are my own fathers
When Guo Xuecheng learned from his mother that he was not her biological son, his mood at that time was so complicated that he was shocked, pained, and moved...
After a long time, Guo Xuecheng, who flashed many pictures in his mind, finally calmed his emotions a little. He showed a smile on his face, stroked his mother's hair, and said softly: "Mom, no matter who I was born, in my heart you will always be my mother, the dearest and dearest!" ”
After hearing her son's words, Ms. Zhang excitedly hugged him and cried bitterly: "Chengcheng, you can rest assured that your mother will definitely find your biological parents and let them come to save you." ”
A few days later, Ms. Zhang finally contacted the couple in Xianyang, Shaanxi Province, after several twists and turns, and after they got the condition of their own son, they immediately rushed to Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province, and met their son, whom they had not seen for 27 years.
A rather old rural woman stepped forward and took Guo Xuecheng's hand and cried uncontrollably: "Child, we have been sorry for you all these years, and now that we are here, we must cure your illness no matter what!" ”
Looking at this woman with a face full of vicissitudes, and seeing a man behind her who was also in tears, the resentment that Guo Xuecheng held in his heart disappeared in an instant, and when he needed them most, his biological parents came to his side for the first time, which was enough to prove that they still loved him deeply.
A few days ago, Guo Xuecheng's adoptive father (Guo Changjiang) and stepfather (Jiang Shanzeng) had arrived at the hospital. Therefore, in a small ward for a while, there were two mothers and three fathers of Guo Xuecheng, each of whom cared for him very much, which made Guo Xuecheng, who was plagued by illness, feel an incomparable sense of security.
In order to be able to match successfully, Guo Xuecheng's biological parents also brought his second brother this time. Fortunately, there is also this idea, because in the end, Guo Xuecheng's second brother and his matching style are the most suitable.
Now that the bone marrow has been found, the hospital has also begun to carry out chemotherapy for Guo Xuecheng. On August 20, after the first round of chemotherapy, his parents transferred him to Shandong Qilu Hospital for a more professional bone marrow transplant team.
Then in Shandong Qilu Hospital, Guo Xuecheng underwent 3 rounds of chemotherapy. After these 3 rounds of chemotherapy, Guo Xuecheng's original thick hair has disappeared, his weight has lost more than ten kilograms, he will vomit every time he eats, and he will have diarrhea shortly after eating.
These symptoms make Guo Xuecheng's body and spirit undergo inhuman torture all the time. His three fathers and two mothers are experiencing tremendous financial pressure while in pain.
The cost of 4 rounds of chemotherapy is as high as 300,000 yuan, and in order to make up for this 300,000, his parents have done their best. The biological parents of Xianyang in Shaanxi Province borrowed all their relatives and friends, and took out their savings, and successively gave Guo Xuecheng nearly 100,000 yuan. His adoptive father also gave him his savings from years of part-time work, as did his mother and stepfather.
The parents pieced together, plus some donations from comrades-in-arms that year, and barely scraped together 300,000 yuan. However, the doctor told Guo Xuecheng and his parents that they would have to do several rounds of chemotherapy before the bone marrow transplant, and these costs did not count, and they would have to prepare another 300,000 yuan for the final bone marrow transplant.

But the cost of 4 rounds of chemotherapy alone, the 3 elderly have tried their best, and the next cost is like a big mountain, weighing them down. In order to save his son, the 3 elderly people all set up stalls in the market to sell dried dates, and these dried dates were when his biological father worked, the boss could not pay the salary to the top wage, in order to turn the dates into money, the three old people went to sell dates as soon as they had time.
Watching his parents work hard for his illness and not give up their treatment for him, Guo Xuecheng was moved to tears. He once said: "I can only look at their efforts to me now, but I can't repay them." I can only wait until I am healed to repay them with the rest of my life, they are all my fathers and mothers! ”
Guo Xuecheng's biological father
It's just that the money from these dates is a drop in the bucket compared to the huge cost of chemotherapy. In desperation, they can only turn to society for help. Through media exposure, Guo Xuecheng's unfortunate encounter, as well as several parents who do not abandon him, let people see the true feelings of the world, and many well-wishers have also given their own love while being moved.
epilogue
Guo Xuecheng suffered from blood cancer at the age of 27, which is a major misfortune in his life, but compared to many cases in which his family did not ask questions after the illness, he was undoubtedly lucky, because he had the most selfless help and care of several parents, which made him feel a strong sense of family affection at the most helpless moment.
It is reported that with the donation of caring people from all walks of life in the society, Guo Xuecheng's chemotherapy costs have been raised, if all goes well, he will eventually receive a bone marrow transplant from his second brother, and we sincerely hope that Guo Xuecheng can overcome the disease as soon as possible, which is also the common expectation of his 5 parents and many well-wishers.
