Since Cai Lei fell ill, he has been facing the public with a positive attitude, but now he has said such a thing, which will inevitably make the public feel embarrassed, behind this sentence is Cai Lei's unimaginable pain day and night.
Cai Lei's inspirational life
Cai Lei was born in Shangqiu, Henan Province in 1978, his parents are very strict with his education, Cai Lei is also very competitive, and he can get good results in every exam.
In his sophomore year of high school, Cai Lei was admitted to the Central University of Finance and Economics with excellent results, which is the dream of many students, but Cai Lei was not so happy, because his major was not the physics major he loved.
But these do not hinder Cai Lei's excellence, after graduating from school, he successfully joined the grassroots tax authorities, people go to high places and water flows to low places, this truth Cai Lei naturally understands.
In 2003, he joined Samsung Group as a tax manager, and later worked as a chief tax officer at Vanke Group.
In line with the development of the times, Cai Lei has a longer-term vision, he gave up his previous glory and came to Jingdong to develop, he is a piece of gold, and he will shine wherever he goes.
The first electronic invoice in China has Cai Lei's strength, and he has been conscientious during his work, and has been working until the position of vice president of finance of Jingdong with his outstanding strength, thinking that he could continue to shine, but an accident happened.
Such a powerful person suffered from ALS in 2019, which is undoubtedly a huge blow to Cai Lei, who had been foreshadowed at work before, but Cai Lei didn't care until Cai Lei realized that something was wrong and went to the hospital for an examination, and he didn't find out about the disease.
Because of this disease, it indicates that Cai Lei's future work can no longer continue, and even his self-care ability in daily life will become more and more difficult, and for a long time, Cai Lei is difficult to accept this fact.
But Cai Lei did not sink because of this, but launched a struggle against fate, because of ALS, he had to leave Jingdong, where he had worked for a long time, and then reorganized his mind and started a new entrepreneurial road.
The spirit of taking out all your family assets to study your own ALS is admirable, but life is not a TV series, and you will definitely go through all kinds of hardships on the way to start a business.
Cai Lei is not afraid of this, although he left JD.com, but he re-stood in front of the public in another capacity, and now he is the chairman of Beijing Aisikang Medical Technology, which is also the company he founded.
For Cai Lei now, time is the most precious thing, although he suffers from ALS, but his love for his career will not be indelible, he wants to study everything about ALS, once people have a goal, they will give everything for it, and Cai Lei is the same.
Although the disease trapped his body, he couldn't trap his mind, and he still insisted on working for 16 hours, which is a very large workload for ordinary people, not to mention Cai Lei, who is seriously ill.
Because of ALS, he needed the help of a wheelchair, and the continuous deterioration of his condition made him gradually lose his ability to type, which would affect the whole body, but these could not erase Cai Lei's thoughts.
Even though he was seriously ill, he still shined at work, and his spirit deserves the admiration of everyone.
In despair, the spirit lives on
As the condition continues to deteriorate, Cai Lei is also aware of the changes in his body, and on August 26, 2023, the matter about Cai Lei's ALS will appear on the hot search again, and the reason is actually a sentence that Cai Lei said in the interview.
He said that he could fully accept his death, and he was also preparing for the aftermath, which shocked countless people and attracted the attention of many people, Cai Lei has always been positive to the public, and he has invested a lot of money in the development of drugs for the treatment of ALS.
In order to treat ALS, Cai Lei has been actively working hard, even if his health is getting worse and worse as his condition deteriorates, he has been working hard for this matter.
Cai Lei's dedication to this disease is seen by the public, he not only built a data research platform for ALS, but also launched the "Rare Disease Care Program", which can prove Cai Lei's love for life.
His efforts are not without rewards, in December 2023, Cai Lei has been working hard in the direction of finally a breakthrough, Cai Lei used the new drug developed by the team in October, after two months of investigation, all aspects of the body have improved significantly.
While everyone was happy for Cai Lei, Cai Lei came with bad news, Cai Lei once again told the public that after insisting on using the medicine, he did get better at the beginning, but now his health is getting worse and worse.
Now Cai Lei can calmly face life and death, and the aftermath is also properly arranged, the successor, the establishment of a charitable trust are ready, and the most important thing is that he also donated his body.
Judging from the video posted on Cai Lei's social platform, Cai Lei's body is indeed not as good as in the past, but he still insists on appearing in front of the public and inspires every audience with his spirit.
It is difficult to treat ALS, but Cai Lei has never thought of giving up, Cai Lei is not the only one who suffers from ALS, there are still other people in the world, success may not belong to him, but he will not give up on the road of treating ALS.
Generate doubts and blessings
It is not easy for Cai Lei to embark on the road to overcome ALS, when he was diagnosed with ALS, he was only 2 years away from his marriage, and the child was not yet 1 year old.
He is not afraid of life and death, but he is still very worried about his family, which is always the softest part of most people's hearts.
Liu Qiangdong is the president of JD.com, and after he learned of this, he also told Cai Lei that he would raise Cai Lei's children until he was 22 years old, which also let us see the revolutionary friendship between Liu Qiangdong and Cai Lei.
So Cai Lei let go and fought boldly, and he decided to organize a team to study the condition of ALS, so that more people can pay attention to this rare disease, hoping to make patients with the same disease as him see hope.
In order to realize this ideal, Cai Lei paid a lot, time, money, etc., and even asked his wife to sell goods on a public platform with him to invest in drug research and development.
For Cai Lei's behavior, he has also been questioned by the outside world, after all, there are predecessors who have also attacked the disease of ALS, but in the end there is no result, and now Cai Lei is exploring ALS with great fanfare, which can't help but be doubted by others.
But it is undeniable that Cai Lei is a brave man, and the road to treating ALS is very difficult, and he knows very well in his heart, but there are some things that someone must do.
If it is just to cut leeks for eyeballs, Cai Lei doesn't have to do this, he can use the money he earns to enjoy his old age in peace, after all, whether he can succeed is still a question, why not make it easier for himself?
Cai Lei's purpose in doing this is just to hope that those patients who suffer from ALS like him will recover soon, and one day they will be like ordinary people.
Cai Lei was very worried about drug research and development, and no one chose to stay with him at the beginning, after all, drug research must have very powerful people, but it takes a long time to train a medical student, and they have many excellent job options.
As Cai Lei's deeds gradually become well-known to the public, more and more people are devoting themselves to the study of ALS, which also allows us to see the true feelings of the world.
Although many people have experienced failures in the research of ALS, there is a long march of a generation, and there must always be people who take practical actions to create a miracle for us.
Many netizens felt distressed after learning about Cai Lei's deeds, and there was resonance between people, and many people also learned that there is a disease of ALS in the world because of Cai Lei.
During Cai Lei's illness for so long, his wife still never abandoned him, and his wife was also very supportive of his actions, and the husband and wife forged ahead and made many people envious.
Nowadays, medical technology is very advanced, but there is still no cure for ALS, and most patients only live for 2-5 years.
Cai Lei's spirit has influenced many people, no matter how time changes, there are still people who maintain their original intentions and continue to move forward despite the incomprehension of the world, but do good things without asking about the future.
