There was a heated discussion on the Internet about a woman who gave up her unborn twin children because she chose to save her younger brother. Despite facing huge controversy and criticism, she firmly stated that it was a choice she had to make, because she only had this one brother, and if she lost it, she would never come back.
The woman's name is Li Ting, the second daughter in the family, she has an older sister named Li Fang and a younger brother named Li Yang. A few years ago, Li Ting married and gave birth to a lovely daughter, and now she is pregnant again at the urging of her mother-in-law, and they are twins. However, a sudden bad news shattered the peace
。
Li Yang, who was only 24 years old, dropped out of school at an early age and had to work as a manual laborer in a factory in Wuhan, Hubei Province. One weekday, he rode his electric scooter to work as usual. Before the start of work, colleagues noticed that his face was unusually pale and his lips were bloodless. Although they asked him with concern if he was unwell, Li Yang only lightly said that it might be the low blood sugar caused by not eating in the morning. His colleagues gave him their own milk.
However, not long after the start of construction, Li Yang's physical condition deteriorated dramatically. He was sweating profusely, and it was dark from time to time. He was about to sit down and rest, but suddenly fainted and fell to the ground. Colleagues panicked and called the emergency services. It turned out that Li Yang had been suffering from similar symptoms for a month or two, but in order to save money, he did not go to the hospital for examination, thinking that it was malnutrition caused by work fatigue.
When Li Yang was rushed to the hospital, his sister Li Fang and his parents also rushed to the hospital. They originally thought that their younger brother was just a minor illness and would be fine if they hung up some water, so they did not notify Li Ting, who was at her in-law's house. However, the doctor told them a shocking news: Li Yang suffered from acute leukemia, and his condition was already quite serious. If he did not find suitable hematopoietic stem cells in time for transplantation, he would only be able to survive for another six months at most.
This news was like a bolt from the blue for Li Ting. She was pregnant and almost fainted, but she immediately picked herself up and took a taxi to the hospital. The matching results of the hospital came out, and no one in the family could be successfully matched with Li Yang. At this time, Li Ting anxiously asked the doctor if she could try to transplant with her own hematopoietic stem cells. But the doctor looked at her pregnant belly and reminded her that it was risky. However, Li Ting insisted again and again, and the doctor still extracted her information for a matching test, but she didn't expect that she was really the closest to Li Yang's genes.
In this way, Li Ting is faced with a difficult choice: to kill the twins in her belly to save her younger brother, or to watch her younger brother come to the end of his life. She knew that this decision was not just about her, but also about her husband and mother-in-law. So she called her husband to inform him of the situation and asked for his opinion. However, the mother-in-law on the other end of the phone was furious when she heard it, she snatched the phone and yelled at Li Ting: "You want to kill my grandson?
For her mother-in-law, who desperately wants her grandson, Li Ting will undoubtedly kill her by killing the child, and for Li Ting, if she doesn't save her brother, she may live in guilt and self-blame for the rest of her life. Her family didn't want to put her in such a situation, running around looking for other solutions and resources. However, Li Yang's condition is getting worse and worse, and the operation one day late is more dangerous. Everyone understands that Li Yangsheng's hopes are all pinned on his sister Li Ting.
When she returned home at night, Li Ting looked at her sleeping daughter, and tears couldn't stop flowing. She knew she had to make a decision. The husband was distressed and worried when he saw her like this, he felt sorry for the difficult choices his wife faced, and at the same time worried that his child would really be lost. Everyone tossed and turned that night and couldn't sleep. At this moment, Li Ting received a call from her sister Li Fang, saying that Li Yang's condition had deteriorated again, and he had fallen into a coma, and the doctor was doing his best to save him...
Hearing the news, Li Ting finally made up her mind. When she got up to go to the hospital, she found her mother-in-law anxiously blocking the door and not letting her out. The mother-in-law knew that Li Ting was going to give up her son and protect her brother, but she couldn't accept this cruel reality. However, Li Ting couldn't care so much, she broke free from her mother-in-law's obstruction, and resolutely got into a taxi to the hospital.
With the support of her parents, Li Ting came to the window of the intensive care unit where Li Yang was. She looked at her unconscious brother in the window with an expressionless face and whispered, "Brother, if you were me, what choice would you make?" After speaking, she broke free of her parents' hands and walked to the doctor's office alone.
After fifteen hours of long waiting, the operation was finally over. The child in the womb is gone, but the younger brother Li Yang successfully underwent the transplant and passed the dangerous period. At this moment, Li Ting was lying on the hospital bed in tears, she couldn't feel her emotions, she just silently stared at her unconscious brother on the hospital bed next to her. She knew she was sorry for the unborn children, but if she was given another chance, she would still make the same choice, because she couldn't watch her own brother die.
Summary: It's too cruel to make a woman choose between the palm of her hand and the back of her hand. No matter what choice Li Ting makes, the result will be unforgettable for her life. However, in this story, we see the deep love and sacrifice of an older sister for her younger brother, which also makes us think more deeply about life and family affection.
