In the small living room of Liu Fei's home in Jiange County, Guangyuan City, Sichuan Province, 39-year-old Liu Fei sat quietly on the sofa, staring at the warm scene of his wife and two children laughing and laughing, and couldn't help but fall into deep memories.
Back in 2011, Liu Fei was in the prime of his 18-year-old youth, however, fate played a cruel joke on him - a seemingly ordinary cold actually made him diagnosed with kidney failure and terminal uremia!
Faced with this ruthless sentence, Liu Fei fell into endless confusion and confusion. He used to be an energetic high school student who loved football, liked to play with his classmates, and swayed the passion of his youth.
However, the god of fate ruthlessly pushed him into the abyss of life.
The news was like a bolt from the blue, leaving the whole family stunned and tears falling like rain. Liu Fei's attending physician told them that the only way to save Liu Fei's life was to have a kidney transplant.
However, the decision to let her mother, Zhu Jiexiu, donate her kidney, has become an unbearable burden.
In order to alleviate the financial pressure on his family, Liu Fei began to drive a motorcycle tricycle to make money by carrying passengers in December 2010, and although he only earned a meager income of 30 or 40 yuan a day, he still persevered and spent countless long and lonely nights.
However, in April 2011, when he waited expectantly for his mother to lend a hand, he was resolutely rejected by Zhu Jiexiu. "I'm worried that the possible sequelae of kidney donation will make me unable to take care of myself!" Zhu Jiexiu tearfully explained.
Seeing his mother's hesitation, the hope in Liu Fei's heart was ruthlessly extinguished like a candle.
What's even more distressing is that in August 2011, when Liu Fei's kidney function was completely exhausted, Zhu Jiexiu actually chose to "escape". She resolutely went south to Guangdong to work, completely ignoring her son's life and death.
Liu Fei was lying on the hospital bed, so weak that it was difficult to even speak, so he could only cry silently. At that moment, he felt extremely angry and helpless about his mother's behavior, and even began to doubt the ...... mother-son relationship between himself and his mother.
The origin of the story can be traced back to November 2010. At that time, 18-year-old Liu Fei was in his second year of high school at Jianzhou Middle School in Guangyuan City. He was originally healthy and lively, but suddenly suffered from cold, fever and other symptoms, and his whole body was weak.
At first, Liu Fei didn't pay enough attention to it, just thinking that it was just a common seasonal disease. However, after a thorough examination at the hospital, he was eventually diagnosed with both kidney failures and advanced uremia.
The rarity and fatality of this disease have undoubtedly dealt a tremendous and painful blow to the family! As a young man, how could Liu Fei have ever experienced such a grim choice of life and death? He fell into endless sorrow and confusion, and his heart was full of frustration and helplessness.
And Liu Hongrong and Zhu Jiexiu, who are Liu Fei's parents, were even more knocked down by this sudden bad news, and tears flowed like a spring.
Is it possible for a 19-year-old young man to lose all his future in this way? This is undoubtedly an extremely cruel disaster for the entire family! Zhu Jiexiu hugged her son tightly and wept bitterly, while Liu Hongrong clenched his fists, his face was gloomy, and his whole body trembled.
As parents, they have never felt so helpless and desperate at this moment.
The doctor revealed to them that Liu Fei's condition had deteriorated to the terminal stage of uremia, the stage of complete loss of kidney function. The only way to save his life is to have a kidney transplant right away, or else his life will come to an end in a short time.
This bad news was like a thunderbolt from the blue, and the whole family suffered a heavy blow.
Faced with their son's life hanging by a thread, Liu Hongrong and Zhu Jiexiu began to make every effort to raise the high cost of surgery. However, they are just ordinary peasant families, and they really can't bear such huge economic pressure.
In order to alleviate the financial pressure on his family, Liu Fei resolutely interrupted his studies and chose to drive a motorcycle to carry passengers on a three-wheeled vehicle to make a living. Since December 2010, he has been on his journey at 8 a.m. every day and will not return to his home until dusk.
In the process, he had to endure the scorching heat and cold, as well as the torment of physical and mental exhaustion, but the income he earned was only 30 or 40 yuan. After returning from the evening and resting for a while, he had to rush to West China Hospital in Chengdu to receive hemodialysis once a day.
After nearly half a year of hard work, Liu Fei became increasingly emaciated, his limbs weak, and even difficult to walk. The huge medical costs incurred by the ongoing dialysis treatment have put his family under a heavy debt burden.
In April 2011, the hospital finally informed Liu Fei and his family that all the conditions for a kidney transplant were met, and Liu Hongrong began to think about how to borrow again to pay for the high cost of the operation.
At this moment, Liu Fei's eyes full of eager expectations were projected on his loving mother Zhu Jiexiu, eager for her to give a helping hand. However, the development of things was beyond everyone's expectations, and Zhu Jiexiu actually expressed an extremely fierce opposition to this.
Although she had successfully passed the matching test earlier and decided to come forward to donate a kidney to help her dear son, she suddenly changed her mind at a critical moment.
"I suffer from multiple diseases, what if I have serious sequelae after kidney donation and I can't take care of myself?" Zhu Jiexiu said with a choked voice, her eyes full of deep fear.
Liu Fei stared at her mother's worried and pleading eyes, but she firmly refused her request to donate a kidney.
In this way, the operation, which had been expected to be successfully performed, was again ruthlessly postponed. Liu Fei saw the back of his mother leaving, and his heart was full of mixed feelings, and an unprecedented sense of loss and helplessness came to his heart.
Fast forward to August 2011, and Liu Fei's condition had deteriorated to the most dangerous stage. According to his attending physician, the young man's kidneys were completely necrotic, and if he did not have an organ transplant in time, his life would quickly come to an end.
For a young man who is only 19 years old, this is undoubtedly the harshest sentence of his life. Liu Fei was once an energetic teenager, and his future should have been full of endless possibilities.
But now, the shadow of death has hung over his head, and he can only do nothing.
Faced with the urgent moment of their son's life and death, Liu Hongrong and Zhu Jiexiu begged the hospital again and again to arrange surgery for him as soon as possible, but they never succeeded. The root of the problem lies in the financial situation of their family, who cannot afford the high cost of transplantation.
Liu Hongrong felt extremely desperate, and he began to run around, asking relatives and friends for help to borrow, hoping to fight for the hope of his son's life. However, money was like indigestible food, and he soon ran into despair.
On July 24, 2011, Zhu Jiexiu resolutely went south to Guangdong, working hard in a factory that produces doors and windows, earning more than 2,000 yuan a month. After learning the news, Liu Fei fell into a long silence, his shoulders trembled slightly, and tears silently slid down his cheeks.
Indeed, who would have predicted that at such a critical moment, Zhu Jiexiu would choose to escape? Her decision is undoubtedly a kind of deprivation and betrayal of her son's life, which is heartbreaking.
At the moment when the breath of death enveloped him, she rushed to the distance unexpectedly, leaving only a lonely figure.
In the face of his mother's "resolute" departure, it was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Liu Fei, and he felt extremely angry and helpless about it. Just when his life was about to die, Zhu Jiexiu resolutely chose to flee, which made him begin to doubt the deep mother-son relationship between them.
When he learned that his mother had left his hometown to work in the south, Liu Fei fell into endless contemplation. He lay on a hospital bed, haggard, pale, and extremely weak.
After saying these words, Liu Fei closed his eyes, and tears fell like a spring. As a 19-year-old boy, at the moment of life and death, the only relative he could rely on chose to leave him.
This feeling of abandonment and helplessness was like a sharp sword, completely destroying his already fragile heart.
Liu Fei deeply hated his mother's indifference and ruthlessness, and he even began to wonder if he was really Zhu Jiexiu's biological flesh and blood. Otherwise, how could a mother be so hard-hearted? In his memory, Zhu Jiexiu's care for him was always limited, and from childhood to adulthood, the warm time spent by mother and son together was only a handful.
In extreme anger, Liu Fei immediately changed his QQ signature to "Mother-son friendship is nothing more than that". For him, Zhu Jiexiu is just a stranger, and there is no blood relationship between him and him.
He had been so eager for his mother's love, but now he could only be ruthlessly turned away, and the loss in his heart was self-evident.
During the more than two months of working in Guangdong, Zhu Jiexiu often recalled the scene when her son Liu Fei was seriously ill, and her heart was full of guilt. "I felt so guilty about him that I didn't tell him the truth when I left.
She confessed apologetically to reporters.
It turned out that the reason why Zhu Jiexiu chose to "escape" was not because her love for her son was gone. On the contrary, it is precisely because of her deep love for her son that she made such a difficult decision.
After a comprehensive physical examination, Zhu Jiexiu found that she suffered from chronic bronchitis, rheumatism, lumbar disc herniation and other diseases, and if she rashly donated her kidney, she would face a huge risk of not being able to take care of herself.
"After donating a kidney, I can no longer play a role, but how can my husband take care of us and my son at the same time?" Zhu Jiexiu cried out silently, and she decided to leave her home and look elsewhere for a higher salary, just to raise enough money to cure her son's illness and support the family.
However, in this long wait, Zhu Jiexiu never foresaw that her "departure" would cause such a deep trauma to her son. Under the repeated persuasion of her husband Liu Hongrong and the media, Zhu Jiexiu finally compromised and decided to return to her homeland and donate her kidney to save her son.
On this day, the moment the mother and son reunited in the hospital, the atmosphere instantly became solemn. Liu Fei's face was expressionless, and Zhu Jiexiu was full of deep guilt. However, Zhu Jiexiu quickly adjusted her mentality and said frankly: "Although I was really thoughtful before, I ignored all the needs of my children, and I was too selfish.
Hearing his wife's sincere apology, Liu Hongrong couldn't help but smile. This act of "running away", which once made him angry, now seems to be no longer so difficult to accept.
After all, it's a difficult choice for the whole family to face.
"Thank you for finally strengthening your faith and choosing to donate a kidney to save your child. From now on, we will work together as a family to get through this difficult time together. Liu Hongrong said affectionately.
In this way, the originally broken family ties are closely connected again. Liu Fei forgave her mother for her kind "escape" and understood her good intentions, and Zhu Jiexiu finally made up her mind to dedicate her indomitable love to her son in the most selfless way of kidneys.
The family of three hugged each other tightly, and warm tears melted away all contradictions and estrangements.
