Known as the ultimate disease of human beings, "ALS", even if the current medical level has reached such an advanced era, it cannot be cured, and even Hawking can only lie helplessly in the chair and quietly wait for death to come. As the first person to help ALS patients in China, Cai Lei, a former executive of JD.com, decided to use the rest of his life and ALS to the end, even if he thinks that this choice is difficult to reach the sky, but he still wants to carve out a life road for Chinese ALS patients.
Cai Lei also took out all his net worth to invest in the research and development of medicine, and many top domestic institutions also announced cooperation with Cai Lei to provide necessary funds and talents. At the same time, Cai Lei also tried the drug himself, studied the drug through large-scale genetic data, and found out his key symptoms.
Recently, Cai Lei admitted on his social media that he realized that ALS is incurable at the moment, even if he spent 4 years and invested a lot of money in the research and development of drugs. He even faced death 4 times in one night, an experience he called "waterboarding", and almost no one could withstand such despair and pain. And he himself admits that these 4 years of efforts have been ineffective, because death is getting closer and closer to him.
It is not difficult to see from Cai Lei's text that he has really reached a time of despair and helplessness, and once he suffers from ALS, it is almost better to describe life than death. Some experts once pointed out that if ordinary people suffer from ALS, it is almost impossible to afford, because just taking medicine can bankrupt a family, and not everyone is like Mr. Cai Lei, who can have funds to support themselves, and it is precisely because of this that Cai Lei hopes to use his own actions to develop drugs for the treatment of ALS, so as to create a way for Chinese ALS patients to live.
In fact, Cai Lei also understands that it is almost a hundred times more difficult for human beings to overcome ALS than to land on the moon, because all the top scientists in the world are still working hard to overcome ALS, but Cai Lei himself is not discouraged, he said that after my own death, I will donate my brain to scientists to study, so that they can bring hope to the next generation of ALS patients in China.
