Unknowingly, Cai Lei has been diagnosed with "ALS" for 4 years, and suffering from this terminal disease will not only affect his family, but also be a merciless torture for patients. But Cai Lei is fortunate to have a good wife Duan Rui behind him silently supporting him and taking care of him, so that Cai Lei can spend the past few years peacefully.
When many people learn that they are suffering from this disease, most of them will count the days at home and wait for death, waiting for their muscles to gradually atrophy, difficulty swallowing, and finally respiratory failure.
However, Cai Lei did not follow the crowd, he spent a huge amount of money to set up a scientific research team, racing against time to study ALS drugs, hoping to create a miracle.
However, ALS has always been a major problem that is difficult for the medical community to overcome, and it is even more difficult for Cai Lei's team to develop effective drugs in a short period of time.
Even though the cruel reality is in front of him, Cai Lei still hasn't given up, he feels that even if he can't see the birth of a new drug, he and his team's persistence for so many years can make ALS overcome at least 10 years earlier.
I have to say that Cai Lei's courage and great love are worthy of respect, and ordinary people really can't do Cai Lei's persistence. On the last day of 2023, Cai Lei revealed that his physical condition continued to decline, and he was getting closer and closer to the risk of death. At the same time, patients see more hope than they could have imagined four years ago.
Cai Lei firmly believes that ALS is no longer a terminal disease, and this day will definitely come. Although Cai Lei has spent 2023 safely, everyone is unclear what will happen in 2024.
However, as Cai Lei said: "The arrow is pierced in the body, the stone is pressed in the heart, and what I should do will not stop." In this short video of more than 4 minutes, we rarely witnessed that Cai Lei has been constantly developing test drugs, and I believe that after watching those pictures, everyone will be touched.
In October 2023, Cai Lei and Ye Tan met in Beijing, both of whom are leaders in the financial industry and both are terminally ill. Ye Tan was once diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer, but his current condition is stable and the treatment effect is excellent. The two bigwigs met for the first time, but there were endless topics to talk about.
Cai Lei told Ye Tan that the medication was effective for the first time in four years. However, Cai Lei believes that the initial effect does not mean that it will be effective in the long term. Therefore, the pace of research and development of new drugs cannot be stopped.
During the past four years, Cai Lei has worked 16 hours a day, sometimes rushing to major hospitals to discuss his condition with experts, and most of the time staying in the laboratory to exchange various data with the team. Therefore, it is difficult for the 4-year-old son to see his father, and he only sees him once a week.
In November 2023, Cai Lei tried the artificial throat for the first time, which is great news for him, because after having the artificial throat, Cai Lei will not be so difficult and painful to speak when communicating with the team.
There is no end to life, only a higher starting point. This is what Cai Lei said, which shows that Mr. Cai's pattern is really big. To this day, there are still people on the Internet who complain that they have done so much, in fact, just to save themselves. However, it is undeniable that even if Cai Lei's original intention is just to save himself, he can dare to take this step, set up a scientific research team, establish comparison data, etc., which will indeed play a role in promoting the future of ALS.
2024 is an extremely critical year for Cai Lei, and I hope to have more good news. Bless Cai Lei again! Everything you have done has given many people infinite courage to overcome difficulties, life has an end, and your spirit has no end!
I hope that those who are terminally ill can have the same mentality as Cai Lei, insist on not giving up, maybe the light is coming. In 2024, come on!
