On April 28, CCTV News broadcast a new interview with Cai Lei's wife Duan Rui, a short 3-minute interview, but let us see the huge pressure on Duan Rui.
Looking back on the past of the two, Duan Rui is 11 years younger than Cai Lei, a well-off and authentic Beijinger, and a beautiful Peking University student, she met Cai Lei when she was 29 years old, and the two of them almost had almost no love process, and they both felt that they were the other half of each other's minds, so Duan Rui agreed to Cai Lei's marriage proposal on the second side.
However, it has only been a year since Duan Rui married Cai Lei, and the two have just had a son, and the 30-year-old Duan Rui ushered in the first test in his life. Her husband was diagnosed with ALS, and the news was like a bolt from the blue. After two people wandered around in agony for a while. Cai Lei filed for divorce, but Duan Rui refused, and at the same time told Duan Rui, "Don't even think about it." "The two of them went from seeking medical advice to starting their own team to study ALS.
According to the latest interview with CCTV reporters, we can see that Cai Lei's current state is very bad, his tongue has atrophied, and he needs to be tied up and dropped on the wall to wash even in a bath. But even so, he has always devoted himself to scientific research.
However, from the CCTV reporter's interview with Cai Lei's wife Duan Rui, we see that Cai Lei's situation is even more tricky, his wife Duan Rui said that her husband needs to wear a ventilator all night while sleeping, although wearing a ventilator can save his life, but it can also kill him in minutes. Because in the event of an accident, Cai Lei cannot take off the ventilator on his own, so he will be at risk of suffocation at any time. And in order to prevent this from happening, someone needs to stay awake at night and keep an eye on Cai Lei to prevent accidents. Due to Cai Lei's physical condition, 24 hours a day is inseparable from special care. Even if they spend a lot of money, the nursing staff will not be able to work for long before they choose to quit.
Therefore, his wife Duan Rui admitted that it is very difficult to find nursing personnel, and even difficult to find. In the past, Duan Rui would also participate in nursing, but as Cai Lei's condition worsened, Cai Lei refused his wife to participate in some nursing. The reason for this is because Cai Lei is worried that if his wife participates in nursing, her body will not be able to bear the care of her young children. Even though he misses his wife and children very much, Cai Lei refuses them to participate in nursing, and only meets them when he is not busy with work. And the young children seem to know something, every time they see Cai Lei, they will take the initiative to hug their father, wanting to give their father some strength.
Duan Rui also admitted in the interview that she suffered some criticism on the Internet, everyone thinks that she is not sad in the live broadcast room, she laughs every day, and smiles very well in the live broadcast room, some people think that she has no heart and lungs, and Duan Rui has said a word about the criticism on the Internet, Duan Rui said that as a family member of a terminally ill patient, the pain in his heart is incomparable, but it is useless to worry every day, to learn to turn grief into strength, she needs to give herself positive feedback, and will work towards the goal she wants, although this goal is difficult, but she has not taken a step, she will be very happy, if she just thinks that Cai Lei is a terminally ill patient, then all life becomes very boring. Even if her husband is terminally ill, she is beautiful now, and in her opinion, Cai Lei is not only her husband, but also a partner in her career.
As the CCTV reporter said, she didn't even dare or bear to talk to Duan Rui more. In fact, everyone underestimated her strength. Duan Rui's strength is gentle and strong, continuous and long-lasting.
Just when the CCTV reporter interviewed Duan Rui, Cai Lei also came with good news, the team has developed ALS drugs, and the efficacy is 2-3 times that of the leading drugs in the United States. However, the new drug targets cases of the SOD1 genotype. He is now in an advanced state, so there is no saving point for his illness. But Cai Lei is still very happy to share the good news on the platform. He said that he could not save his life, but such a progress is equivalent to knocking on the door of this incurable disease.
