Everyone must be very surprised when they see this title, how can there be such a ruthless grandmother who is willing to let her grandson sacrifice in order to save her daughter-in-law.
In fact, there is a reason for all this, the daughter-in-law suffers from uremia, the grandson has a brain tumor, and the hemp rope is always broken from the finest, how can God be able to take care of this family.
Only the kidneys of the grandson can save the daughter-in-law, whether to save the daughter-in-law or hurt the grandson, this is really a dilemma.
Death and rebirth occur on the same day
Zhou Lu and her husband don't earn a lot from their work, but they are enough for the family to eat and wear, and their in-laws are not very old, and they can still help them now.
The pressure of living together as a family is not very great, and later Zhou Lu gave birth to a son, and they felt that the good days were ahead.
There is no one who does not love her grandson, Zhou Lu's mother-in-law Lu Yuanxiu looked at the little grandson in front of her, and her heart really melted.
But it didn't take long for such good days to end.
April 2014 was a time when spring was blooming and everything was recovering, but for Zhou Lu's family in Jingzhou, this April was destined to be unhappy.
Because on April 2, their child, 7-year-old Chen Xiaotian, finally died in the intensive care unit of the hospital due to cancer failure.
That day, after Chen's father was notified, he rushed back to Jingzhou from other places overnight, but he was still one step too late to be by his son's side at the last moment.
Grandma Chen was even more in pain, crying bitterly in the operating room, and couldn't calm down for a long time.
As a mother, Zhou Lu, after learning the news of the child's death, came to the doctor's office expressionlessly and signed the consent form for surgery.
Because within 6 hours of Chen Xiaotian's death, doctors will transplant his organs into Zhou Lu's body, which is the only hope to fulfill the child's last wish and save the mother.
So, on this day destined to be sad, a miracle of mother's rebirth also occurred at the same time - after Chen Xiaotian's kidney was successfully transplanted into Zhou Lu's body, the emaciated mother was also reborn.
Death and new life are intertwined to stage the most poignant mother-son love in the world.
The daughter-in-law has uremia
The cause of this can be traced back to 3 years ago in 2011, when 31-year-old Zhou Lu was diagnosed with uremia and kidney failure.
This news was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue, and it directly hit the life of this small family.
Uremia is too early for Zhou Lu, who is only 31 years old, it should be in the mood for love, but her body is getting worse, even if she is on dialysis, she is only barely maintained.
Now this illness makes Zhou Lu feel depressed, and she feels like a burden and a drag on her family.
What's more, their son Chen Xiaotian is only 5 years old, an age that needs to spend money to make up classes and buy toys.
Zhou Lu knew in her heart that if she spent all her savings on herself now, the quality of life of the child would only decline, so she resolutely chose to give up waiting for the organ transplant operation and leave all the money to Chen Xiaotian.
She even took the initiative to file for divorce, for fear that she would one day become a complete burden.
Her mother-in-law, Lu Yuanxiu, is a good person, even in such a situation, she still helps her take care of her life as always, and treats her as her own daughter.
After Zhou Lu gave up treatment, the only thought in his heart was to spend more time with the child, and he would not be able to see it in the future.
My grandson had a brain tumor
As everyone knows, bad luck followed, and not long after Zhou Lu was diagnosed, an even more desperate news came - 5-year-old Chen Xiaotian had a brain tumor, and it was malignant.
This pair of Chen parents was a bolt from the blue, and they took Chen Xiaotian to run around in big hospitals and small hospitals, trying to find hope to save their lives.
Without exception, all the doctors shook their heads and said that this advanced brain tumor is difficult to cure.
In the Spring Festival of 2014, the day when the family should have been reunited, their family spent it in the hospital.
Chemotherapy and radiotherapy took turns, but his condition was still deteriorating - by the end of the year, Chen Xiaotian's eyesight had been completely lost, and his whole person was so thin that he was only skinny and bone-covering.
Xiaotian's changes made Grandpa Chen's heart cut like a knife, and what was even more uncomfortable was that the brain tumor not only destroyed Chen Xiaotian's body, but also began to erode his will.
Zhou Lu on the side held back tears, covered the pain in her heart with a smile, and softly told her son to be strong.
Grandma's decision
Not only Xiaotian's condition is getting worse, but even Zhou Lu is too, and her chemotherapy is becoming more and more frequent.
This disease originally required the patient to maintain a good attitude, but with the diagnosis of her son, as a mother, Zhou Lu really did not have the ability to maintain a calm mind.
Zhou Lu's condition is not hopeless, but she lacks a suitable kidney source, plus she does not want to be a burden on the family, and she wants to leave all the money to her son.
But after Xiao Tian got sick, Zhou Lu's thoughts seemed to be superfluous, and they all knew that Xiao Tian was lying in the hospital now in vain, and the doctors couldn't cure his illness.
Now the candle flame of his grandson's life is about to be extinguished, and Lu Yuanxiu's whole person is on the verge of collapse.
After getting along for such a long time, her mother-in-law has long regarded Zhou Lu as her daughter, otherwise she would not still take care of her after she got sick, she really can't face it, her grandson and daughter-in-law have left her one by one.
And at this moment, grandmother Lu Yuanxiu suddenly had an idea in her heart - since the blood type of mother and son is the same, why not let Chen Xiaotian donate his kidney to save his mother?
So she secretly took the blood samples of the two people for testing.
He lives forever with his mother
At first, Lu Yuanxiu told her daughter-in-law Zhou Lu about this idea, but she said she was determined not to do it without even thinking about it.
If you accept the child's matching, then what is the difference between this and looking forward to the child's death, which is simply the greatest torture for a mother.
During her illness, Zhou Lu and her son have always been in the same hospital, as long as it is not treatment time, she has always been by her son's side, and she also pasted her son's paintings on the bedside.
The matching result made the grandmother surprised and sad, and the mother and son fully met the requirements for organ transplantation, which meant that their daughter-in-law could live.
In fact, under the torture of illness, Zhou Lu already understood that her son would not live long, and she stayed by Xiaotian's side all night, her heart was like a knife.
Zhou Lu has accepted the fact that his son will leave him sooner or later, and if he can continue to live with part of the child, it can be regarded as letting Xiaotian still live in this world.
After learning that the family had the intention of donating their organs, they were immediately contacted by the relevant person in charge.
Through understanding them, I learned that organ donation in China must be fully compliant, and as Xiaotian's guardian, Zhou Lu can sign on behalf of Xiaotian.
Donated organs are distributed in a systematic manner, which means that the donor does not donate to whomever he wants, which is also a kind of fairness in the eyes of the patient.
Fortunately, Zhou Lu was registered in the hospital, and her situation fully met several preferential principles.
So, within 6 hours of Chen Xiaotian's death, doctors transplanted one of his kidneys into Zhou Lu's body, and the operation was very successful.
Since then, the son's kidneys have been working in the mother's body, and the mother has been given a new life.
During their time in the hospital, Zhou Lu and her mother-in-law came into contact with many children who were about the same age as Chen Xiaotian, and they were all waiting for organ transplants, but this kind of surgery was really hard to come by.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law really couldn't see such a situation, so the two made a decision for Chen Xiaotian and signed a consent form for organ donation, donating Chen Xiaotian's other kidney and liver to save more lives.
Chen Xiaotian has already realized his dream
In fact, for 7-year-old Chen Xiaotian, he has two wishes in this life.
The first is that I want to protect my mother, and the second is that I want to be a fighter.
When Zhou Lu's surgery was successful, Chen Xiaotian's first dream had been realized.
After learning of Chen Xiaotian's dream, the officers and soldiers of the armed police specially sent him a police uniform and took him to take a solemn oath together in front of the hospital bed, and Chen Xiaotian's wish to become a soldier was also realized.
That day, the ward was filled with indescribable joy.
The armed policemen solemnly read out the oath, Chen Xiaotian repeated weakly, at this moment, everyone present was infected by this innocent joy, and couldn't help but redden.
Chen's ashes were buried in a cemetery on the outskirts of Jingzhou.
Before leaving, many citizens spontaneously came to see off the little angel and offered white flowers to this little angel.
Before his death, there were also many well-wishers who donated money and materials to the Chen family, and their good deeds warmed this strong mother and son, so that Chen Xiaotian felt the true feelings of the world in the midst of his illness.
Love is taking root
Now, Zhou Lu's body has gradually recovered, because those who are saved by Xiaotian will use their lives to commemorate this lovely child.
After returning to her hometown, Zhou Lu joined the organ donation volunteer service team, hoping to contribute to this noble cause.
Perhaps, the story of her and Chen Xiaotian can infect more people to participate in organ donation and save more patients.
Love is boundless, let life take root in the hearts of others.
This is also the most precious gift that Chen Xiaotian left to the world, let us remember this little angel, and let us pass on his love.
