Liu Shengyang, who just turned 6 this year, is a child who fights with blood cancer, in December 2019, he has always been lively and active, he suddenly became mentally energetic, even his favorite toy could not lift his spirits, at first his mother thought that he probably ate a bad stomach, but a few days later this situation has not eased. Relieved mother quickly took Shengyang to the local hospital for examination, the blood routine showed that Shengyang's white blood cells were as high as more than 600, which was 70 times that of normal people, this result made her mother panic for a moment, she asked the doctor over and over again whether it was a problem with the machine, but after reviewing three times, Shengyang's blood cell value still did not change, which completely shattered the last fluke in her mother's heart.

Under the advice of the doctor, Shengyang and his mother came to Shandong Qilu Children's Hospital for examination, and Shengyang was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Holding this confirmed certificate, her mother's hands trembled unceasingly, and she cried bitterly in the hospital unable to face this cruel result. However, the urgent and serious illness did not give this newly beaten mother room for relaxation, and then Shengyang appeared to have a swollen stomach and symptoms accompanied by fever, and the condition was not waiting for anyone, and Shengyang immediately began his anti-white road.

I remember when I first started doing bone piercing, my mother asked the doctor what bone piercing was, and the doctor told her: "You need to use an 8-centimeter syringe to insert bone marrow from the spine." Hearing these words, her mother suddenly cried uncontrollably, and she did not even dare to imagine the picture of the holy yang bone wearing, listening to the child crying and shouting in the ward where the bone was worn: "Mother save me..." Her heart hurt more than a knife cut.

However, the painful treatment day by day did not make Shengyang feel better, and his stomach became bigger and bigger. Because the liver and spleen are enlarged to withstand the lungs and stomach, Shengyang next has breathing difficulties, watching the child's condition is serious day by day, the mother knows that this is not the way, and after inquiring from many parties, she took Shengyang to Beijing Bayi Children's Hospital. The doctor was shocked to see Shengyang's value, because children with such a high white blood cell index could not find a few in the country, so he had to tell the mother of the child to be mentally prepared, and they would do their best to keep the child. Hearing the doctor's words, the mother instantly fell to her knees on the ground, but the doctor's next words made her hope that chemotherapy might save the child's life.

In order to meet the conditions of chemotherapy, Shengyang began to deal with various colored pill bottles every day, and for the next month, he was faced with bottle after bottle of hanging needles and a large number of oral medicines every day, and the five-year-old child's eyes also lost their luster in the daily torture. Mom asked, "Do you want to play with other children?" There was a sudden flash of hope in his eyes, but it was quickly fleeting, and he told his mother discouragedly: "Yangyang is a patient, and children don't like it." Looking at such a sensible child, the mother has mixed feelings, she does not understand why such a sensible child has to go through such torture, and the sick child has done something wrong.

Seeing his mother's sad and sad appearance every day, Shengyang changed from the initial fear of injections to taking the initiative to stretch out his small arm to show the nurse aunt every time, and also turned around to comfort his mother: "It's okay, I don't hurt." Looking at his small face that forced himself to endure the pain, my mother's heart was full of self-blame.

There are many, many sick children like Shengyang, and Shengyang is only a small microcosm of them. According to the "China Children's Blood Diseases 2020 White Paper", the incidence of leukemia in children aged 0 to 14 years in China is 34.3/million, and the proportion of patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in children is the highest, with more than 39,000 cases registered. This also shows that there are currently 39,000 children in China who are experiencing the same painful torture as Shengyang, these families smash pots and sell iron for their children's health, scatter their family wealth, endure the pain and suffering of their children's illness on the one hand, and be overwhelmed by the cost of treatment on the other hand. Some of them are begging for their children's self-esteem, and some are working overtime for their children, but it is far from enough for leukemia, a disease that costs money like water.

With the development of modern medicine, people have also made major breakthroughs in the study of leukemia, and people no longer "talk about cancer discoloration". According to statistics, the survival rate of leukemia for more than 5 years has exceeded 70%, but for anti-white families, the biggest problem is not the current medical technology, but obviously there is hope to fight for the child, but it is blocked by huge treatment costs. In the interview, we learned that some cancers have very different reimbursement rates because of different types, many only have a reimbursement rate of 20-30%, and huge medical expenses are still the biggest problems that plague leukemia families. And now what we have to do is to take action, for which we launched the "Care for Blood Cancer Children to Return to the Sunshine" project to help these children who have been "sentenced" by cancer diseases, so that they also have the opportunity to enjoy a good childhood, although the candlelight is small, the gathering of thousands is the sunshine!
