In 2023, a pair of twin brothers in Jiangxi who are only 12 years old will suffer from kidney failure at the same time.
If you want to live, you can only have a kidney, but the mother failed to match, and the father can only donate a kidney.
But the elder brother bluntly said that he wanted two kidneys and did not give his younger brother any hope of living!
Why did the young brothers suffer from uremia at the same time, did they succeed in kidney replacement, and how did the father choose?

The source of the kidney is hard to find
Since the two children were diagnosed with uremia, Tang Linbo and his wife took them to major hospitals across the country, trying to find ways to find treatment. But the doctors' answers are like copy-paste, and there is only one way to replace the kidney.
When Tang Linbo first heard that his twin sons were suffering from uremia and needed kidney replacement surgery, he was a tangle in his heart. As a father, he really cares for his children and is willing to give everything for them, even if he can give his life.

But the cruel reality is that he has a kidney, which means that he has to make a difficult choice between his two sons.
On the one hand, he knew very well in his heart that if he couldn't find a suitable kidney source, the children would have to wait for death. How can a father watch his two sons die in front of him.

On the other hand, who will donate this kidney to? In his heart, neither of his two sons should be missing, and they both need the protection and love of his father.
Tang Linbo looked at the two children as sick as little skeletons, and his heart hurt as much as a knife.

Since then, finding the right kidney source has become the whole life of Tang Linbo and his wife. Just when they were about to despair, God finally favored them.

However, the high cost of surgery still made it difficult for Tang Linbo and his wife. The brothers' treatment costs had depleted their savings, and they were anxious to miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
At this time, relatives and friends learned the news and reached out one after another. Everyone knows the predicament of the Tang family, some took out their savings for many years, some borrowed money from everywhere, and in the end, with the help of everyone, Tang Linbo and his wife scraped together 500,000 yuan for the operation.

Contradictions
During the last consultation before the operation, the attending doctor, Wang Gang, carefully inquired about the brothers' condition.
The elder brother Tang Zhiyun's condition is obviously more serious than that of his younger brother Tang Zhihao, his kidney function has almost completely failed, his whole body is swollen, and he has to suffer great pain every day.

Although Tang Zhihao also suffers from uremia, his condition is relatively stable and he can barely maintain his daily life.
As soon as he heard that the kidney source had fallen, Tang Zhiyun came out coldly, startling everyone.
He even proposed that he wanted to transplant both of the donor's kidneys to himself, so that his younger brother Tang Zhihao could wait for the next donor.

In fact, Tang Zhiyun's idea is also very simple, he feels that his condition is much more serious than his younger brother, if this opportunity slips away, maybe he will not be able to wait for the next donor.
When Tang Linbo and his wife heard their son's thoughts, they were distressed and helpless. They understood the feelings of the eldest son, but they couldn't bear to let the younger son lose this opportunity.
Just when Tang Linbo and his wife were in a dilemma, the attending doctor solved this problem.

The attending doctor told them that they only needed a healthy kidney to maintain a normal life. Each of us is born with two kidneys, just to provide a backup.
If one kidney is transplanted, the other kidney will still work as usual and will be able to meet the needs of the body.
After listening to the doctor's explanation, Tang Zhiyun's nervous mood gradually calmed down. He looked at his frail brother on the hospital bed, and his heart was full of guilt.
