13 years ago, in order to transplant her son's liver, Chen Yurong wore out 4 pairs of shoes and walked 10 kilometers every day, which lasted more than 7 months.
From 66 kg to 60 kg, she successfully transplanted 60% of her son's liver.
Now more than ten years have passed, how has the physical condition of the mother and son recovered?
All of the statements in this article are based on reliable sources and are reproduced at the end of this article
«——【·叶海斌的病·】——»
Chen Yurong's child, Ye Haibin, has been diagnosed by doctors as having Wilson's disease since she was 13 years old because she walked crookedly and spoke slurredly.
This disease, to put it bluntly, is that the body has problems with copper metabolism, which makes copper accumulate in the body, and over time, complications such as liver cirrhosis and nervous system damage will occur.
Because it is an invisible genetic disease, Ye Haibin needs to receive treatment as soon as possible, otherwise his life will be threatened.
However, when Chen Yurong and his wife learned that the treatment cost of the operation would be as high as more than 300,000 yuan, their first reaction was to retreat.
300,000 is not a small amount, not to mention that this is only the cost of my son's surgery, and does not include the follow-up hospitalization costs and other drug treatments.
And Chen Yurong and her husband have long since retired, where do they have so much savings for their son's treatment.
However, her son's illness could not be left untreated, so Chen Yurong had to discuss with her son to adopt a conservative treatment method: use drugs to control the condition first, and then they went out to work to earn money for surgery.
In fact, Chen Yurong had reached retirement age at that time, but for the sake of her son, Chen Yurong had to go to the town to find another job, and use her small salary to continue the use of drugs for her son.
It's a pity that fate didn't favor the family.
«——【Repeated coughing up of blood and aggravation of the condition·】——»
In 2005, Ye Haibin, who was resting at home, suddenly began to cough violently, and when Chen Yurong turned on the light and looked at her son on the bed, Ye Haibin had already begun to cough up blood.
This frightened Chen Yurong, she immediately called her husband and sent her son to the hospital, but the doctor's advice was still surgery.
Although medication can maintain the condition, it cannot let Ye Haibin's body develop for the better, and if it drags on for a long time, it will result in the continuous failure and degeneration of Ye Haibin's liver function, which will eventually threaten his life.
But even if the facts are in front of her, Chen Yurong still can't take out 300,000 yuan to perform surgery on her son, so she still "stubbornly" chooses conservative treatment, quits her job, and takes care of her son at home.
Mother's love is great, Ye Haibin recovered well under the careful care of his mother, not only no longer coughing up blood, but also found a girlfriend and a job.
It's just that Ye Haibin's illness is like a time bomb, a period of time does not mean a permanent recovery, and the drug treatment that Chen Yurong insisted on is also accumulating over time, and the effect of the medicine is getting smaller and smaller.
In December 2008, Ye Haibin, who was working in Yichang, suddenly vomited blood without warning and fainted on the side of the road.
At this time, Ye Haibin was almost humanoid after being tortured by illness, not only his face was like earth, but his eyes were also empty because he had not slept all night.
Chen Yurong's family was given an ultimatum, and Ye Haibin had to operate this time, otherwise he only had one year left in his life.

At this time, in order to make up the cost of surgery for his son, Ye Guoxiang had already gone to a shipping company to do miscellaneous work to earn money, and when he heard that his son had reached the time when he had to have surgery, he immediately came back from other places, and the family sold the house and borrowed money to meet the cost of his son's surgery.
But with the money, the Ye family was stumped by the liver source, after all, the money can be borrowed, but the liver can't be borrowed, and after Chen Yurong ran to all the hospitals in Yichang, the results were mismatched and there was no liver source.
Seeing her son's life pass by day by day, but she can't do anything as a mother, Chen Yurong was unwilling and had a bold idea: since the hospital has no liver source, then donate her own liver.
However, the results of Chen Yurong's examination made them mixed, happy that Chen Yurong and her son's liver sources matched, and worried that years of fatigue and poor eating habits made Chen Yurong suffer from severe fatty liver, which also means that she is not eligible for transplantation.
In addition, when the doctor learned that Chen Yurong still wanted to donate his liver for his son, Chen Yurong could lose weight, but not vigorously exercise, nor with the help of drugs, otherwise even if he lost weight, it would be a failure.
So, the violent mother appeared.
Since February 2009, Chen Yurong has been walking along the embankment of Chen Jiaji in Wuhan before dawn, and she has walked five kilometers round trip at a time, once in the morning and once in the evening.
In order to lose weight faster, Chen Yurong only eats half a fist-sized amount of rice per meal, and boiled vegetables without any oil and water, even if she can't sleep at night when she is hungry, Chen Yurong has not stopped losing weight at all.
In 7 months, she broke four pairs of cloth shoes, the soles of her feet were covered with various calluses, and the distance she walked was 2,110 kilometers, but Chen Yurong successfully lost 6 kilograms of weight, and her fatty liver disappeared.
In November 2009, Chen Yurong and Ye Haibin were sent to the operating table together, and 60% of Chen Yurong's liver was successfully put into Ye Haibin's body and brought him new vitality.
And Chen Yurong was told before the operation that she might not be able to get off the operating table because she was too old, but she had no hesitation, in order to save her son, she was willing even if she tried her best.
Fortunately, at the last moment, God still favored this hard-working man, and Chen Yurong quickly woke up and turned the corner after the operation.

In the same year, Chen Yurong, who had recovered her health, was named one of the "Top Ten People Who Moved China" that year, and her deeds of donating her liver to save her son were called a marathon of fate by the media.
However, when their family was the happiest, Chen Yurong was involved in the "plastic surgery" incident, and was questioned by some netizens that she went for plastic surgery with donations from well-wishers.
Under the pressure of the outside world, Chen Yurong had to admit frankly that she did have double eyelid and eye bag removal surgery in Qinhuangdao, but these microplastic surgeries were all to make herself younger so that she could find a job to subsidize her family.
In addition, she has never done this kind of thing with charitable donations, saying that all expenses are out of her own pocket.
After listening to Chen Yurong's explanation, the turmoil on the Internet gradually subsided, and Ye Haibin's body gradually recovered, but Chen Yurong still needs to cook six meals a day, let her son eat less and more meals, and stabilize liver function with drugs.
Mother's love is like spring rain, nourishing the growth of children, and behind the violent mothers, there are thousands of mothers who hold up their children's future, so we want to pay tribute to these great mothers.
