Previously, on January 18, Cai Lei's Weibo account forwarded a video, talking about his recent physical condition, saying that the distance from getting up to the bathroom 5 meters needs to be supported, swallowing and coughing up phlegm have also deteriorated, and now his breathing has begun to fail, and he must wear a ventilator all night, and his body muscles have declined in an all-round way, bluntly saying that "death is very close." ”
His wife, Duan Rui, said in a previous interview that she was prepared for the worst.
Cai Lei has been in a race against time since he was diagnosed with ALS in the fall of 2019.
He used all his connections and resources, swore that "Lao Tzu will do it with it", and vowed to "either die or get rid of this disease". It was his last battle: building a database, seeking funding and scientist support, advancing a drug pipeline to support tens of thousands of ALS patients, livestreaming, writing an autobiography, and last year's final bullet: donating brain and spinal cord tissue to medical research with more than 1,000 patients.
Cai Lei set up a scientific research team to develop drugs and worked more than 16 hours a day. "Although I am already a disabled person, I can still do something valuable for society in the face of death. ”
In the new year, Cai Lei said that he should believe in the "power of believing" and hope that the cause of "breaking the ice" will make new progress.
