Dongdong, a once radiant doctor, has an extremely difficult road to fight cancer. Four years ago, he was diagnosed with advanced stomach cancer, and his life has changed dramatically. He lost the company of his wife, and the children had difficulty recognizing the emaciated father.
In April 2019, Dongdong was diagnosed with advanced stomach cancer. At that time, he was only 39 years old, which was the golden period of his life. Dongdong's condition progressed rapidly, from a healthy, sunny handsome guy to a scrawny patient, and the whole process took only a few months.
Dongdong's wife, after learning about his condition, chose to leave. This is undoubtedly a double blow for Dongdong. Their two children, a 5-year-old and a 3-year-old, were too young to understand everything that had happened to them.
They looked at their father in bed with confusion and fear in their eyes. Dongdong's parents, who were supposed to enjoy the tranquility of their old age at this age, had to face their son's illness.
They sold their property in the hope of buying the best treatment for Dongdong. Chemotherapy, surgery, new drug trials, they don't miss any glimmer of hope.
Dongdong's father massages his son with his rough hands every day in the hospital, trying to ease his pain. The mother, although she had a heart attack and needed surgery, always insisted on being by her son's side and giving support and care in her own way.
Dongdong is a warrior. Despite his illness, he remained optimistic. Since 2019, he has documented his fight against cancer on social media, posting more than 200 videos and copywriting.
Every message of his is free of complaints and negative energy, and every word reveals a desire for life and hope for the future. His story has touched countless netizens and has become a source of encouragement and strength.
But time is cruel, and the spread of cancer has not stopped. Dongdong's weight has dropped dramatically, his appetite has been lost, and even drinking water has become a problem. This year, the situation in Dongdong has deteriorated further.
Despite this, his parents and medical team did not pass up any chance of treatment. Just days before he died, his mother bought a wheelchair to take him out for some fresh air, and his father organized a small party on his birthday in the hope of bringing some laughter to his son.
On April 26, Dongdong passed away peacefully at home, ending his four-year career in fighting cancer. His passing has left all who knew him saddened, but his life story and strong spirit will always inspire everyone who faced difficulties.
Dongdong's social media account, after his death, was reposted by countless netizens. They left messages to express their condolences and also shared Dongdong's story to more people.
Dongdong's family, after his death, lost the breadwinner of the family, but they said they would continue Dongdong's last wish to help more cancer patients.
They plan to set up a foundation to help patients and families who are battling cancer in their name. Although Dongdong is gone, his spirit and story will continue to live in this world, inspiring everyone who finds hope in the midst of misfortune.
His life, though short, was significant. He proved with his life that even in the darkest of moments, there is love, hope, and the strength to persevere.
