Time is incomparably precious for Cai Lei, a patient with ALS. As we all know, the average life expectancy of ALS patients is 3-5 years, and 2024 is the fifth year since Cai Lei's diagnosis. It can be said that it took a lot of effort, which is undoubtedly quite unfavorable for his body, so this year is extremely critical for Cai Lei.
Therefore, the outside world is also very concerned about Cai Lei, on April 22, CCTV news reporter Zhuang Shengchun came to visit and interview Cai Lei for the third time, and every follower present was moved by Cai Lei's optimism and strength.
Some of the videos are as follows:

It is not difficult to see from the video that Cai Lei, who is already in the advanced stage of the disease, is not in an ideal physical condition, Cai Lei frankly admitted that his tongue and lips have atrophied at present, and taking a bath is a luxury for him.
Because the whole person is completely in a state of paralysis, if Cai Lei wants to take a bath, he must tie himself up with a rope, and then ask the nanny assistant to hang him to the wall to clean it. In addition, it is necessary to be very careful when tying up, as it may be life-threatening if you fall.
During the interview, the camera was given to Cai Lei's hand, and Cai's hand seemed to be shrinking under the scrutiny, obviously an adult, but it looked like the hand of a teenager.
I haven't seen Cai Lei for a long time, and in this interview and chat, reporter Zhuang Shengchun didn't dare to look directly at Cai Lei's eyes many times, for fear that it would touch the fragile nerve in his heart. Especially when Cai Lei revealed his current state and situation, Zhuang Shengchun also had tears in his eyes and felt a lot.
Zhuang Shengchun revealed that when he met Cai Lei for the first time, Cai Lei's eyes at that time were firm and said: "In my heart, this hope is one in ten thousand, one percent or even one tenth, and I will give 100% effort, and I have not considered the size of this hope." ”
Now that four years have passed, Cai Lei has always persisted, even though his body is collapsing bit by bit, but this belief has never wavered.
Of course, people are sometimes very contradictory, facing the torture of physical pain, thinking about the intubation and anger in the back, and the extent of the sin can be imagined. Cai Lei also felt that he didn't want to be offended, and he wanted to take the first step.
When a group of patients heard Cai Lei's description, they instantly broke the defense and cried. Cai Lei asked, "Why are you crying?" The patients replied, "If you all die, we have no hope." And Cai Lei comforted the patient in turn: "You can't look at it that way, the efforts in the past few years have not been in vain, the team is getting stronger and stronger, and it is still full of hope." ”
The most admirable thing is Cai Lei's sentence: "Before I fall, kill ALS! Give me too little time, if you give me ten years, kill it in seconds!" I have to say that Cai Lei is a proper "combat hero".
When talking about his wife Duan Rui, Cai Lei also showed reluctance. The reporter asked: "Have you ever quarreled with Mr. Duan (lover) recently?"
Cai Lei replied with a smile: "I can't make any noise, I just hope that she will watch my condition get worse and worse, don't be pessimistic, don't be sad, this is my greatest hope." ”
Without Duan Rui's careful companionship, Cai Lei would not have been able to persist to this point. Duan Rui, who is 11 years younger than Cai Lei, did not leave at a difficult time, but chose to stay and "fight" with her husband together, which is indeed admirable.
The optimism and never-give-up spirit of Cai Lei and his wife have touched countless people. For us, Cai Lei is already a hero, he has won, as long as he continues to persevere, I believe that mankind will also overcome ALS.
