This October, Ding Guangming, who has just passed away, is about to usher in a "special continuation" of her life, and she will become the 200th "general teacher" of Chongqing Medical University (the honorific title for body donors in the medical community). After Ding Guangming's death, on October 25, her daughter Liu Xing contacted Chongqing Medical University and donated her mother's body.
Before entering the operating room, the optimistic teacher Ding was more than "yeah" to the camera.
The daughter fulfills her mother's last wishes
"Dear relatives and friends, my father Wang Shixun and I decided to follow my mother's wishes to donate the remains, not to set up a spiritual hall, and not to hold a funeral." In The Poly Aishangli Community in Jiulongpo District, Chongqing, Liu Xing, 39, sent his mother's obituary to relatives and friends and informed his mother that Ding Guangming's body had been donated.
At 6:50 a.m. on October 25, Ding Guangming, who was treated at the Jiulongpo District People's Hospital for tongue cancer, died in his sleep. The 65-year-old retired female teacher has completed her life, but there is still one last wish that has not been fulfilled, before she died, she once told her family, "When I die, I will donate the body, and the person who is gone is just a white bone, it is better to donate to the medical cause but do research and save more people." After confirming his mother's death, the grief-stricken Liu Xing contacted the Chongqing Red Cross Society for the first time, and soon, Chongqing Medical University came to pick up his mother's body.
"Our family of three has an agreement that whoever dies and stays will donate his body." Liu Xing recalled that donating the body was first proposed by his father Wang Shixun in 2016, when the old couple were in good health, and Wang Shixun's suggestion was quickly supported by his daughter and wife, "My parents are teachers, and their thinking has always been relatively open. In 2020, Ding Guangming found out that she was suffering from tongue cancer, and the original agreement was mentioned again, she told her family that her heart has not changed, "I hope to save more people." ”
Teacher Ding's donation certificate
Students have been given tuition fees
When Ding Guangming first joined the work, he was a teacher at Shangxi Primary School in Shuanghe Town, Changning County, Yibin.
In the 1980s and 1990s, most of the students of Shangxi Primary School were the children of farmers in nearby villages, and the family conditions were not good, and the beautiful and kind Teacher Ding became the reliance of many students.
In those years, Ding Guangming often used a part of the income to fill the tuition fees of students, so that children who could not afford to pay the tuition fees did not drop out of school.
When teaching at another elementary school, after school in the summer, Ding Guangming always came home very late, and she patrolled back and forth on the river near the school, "to catch the students who swim in the river, she is afraid that the baby will have an accident swimming in the river, and she must make sure that there will be no baby in the ditch before going home." ”
Ding Guangming took early retirement at the age of 50 to take care of her family, but her students still met at home to see her every New Year over the years. In the eyes of the students, Teacher Ding, who loves to wear a cheongsam, is still so beautiful, she always walks with a straight back and smiles at everyone.
Ding Guangming did not let the students and relatives go to see her after her death, and Liu Xing felt that the mother who had been strong all her life hoped to only let everyone remember her beautiful appearance, "She did not want everyone to be too sad because of her." ”
Teacher Ding in life
"She went on to be a 'teacher'"
"The light falls and the sky is dark, and the king has lost his relatives and friends and I have lost my companions." Twenty years of mutual respect and love, and now we will never be far away. Wang Shixun sent a mourning poem to himself and his wife's old friend, the beginning of which was his wife's name, and these days, he always recalled the scene of his wife's life.
In Wang Shixun's photo album, Ding Guangming always wears a brightly colored cheongsam, with a meticulous bun, and looks up and smiles at the camera. Even if the last days were tormented by illness, the original plump body was as thin as wood, but Ding Guangming still rarely said that he was in pain, but often laughed with Wang Shixun, and before entering the operating room, he would still be more "yeah" to the camera.
"She was strong and brave, and instead of leaving, she went to another place to continue to guard us." Knowing that his wife's body will be called a "general teacher", Wang Shixun's heart is more comforting, "She can't be idle in her life, and now she is going to continue to be a teacher." ”
Ding Guangming's donation certificate was treasured by him and his daughter, occasionally take out to take a look, the father and daughter and Ding Guangming's agreement is more firm, Wang Shixun has begun to prepare, after returning to Yibin, in the family to publicize the relevant matters of body donation, "Leaving a tombstone is meaningless, but donating body can help more people, can contribute to medical research, we hope that Ding Teacher's donation can let more people know that body donation is not only not terrible, but also the continuation of life." ”
Ding Guangming is the 200th body donor welcomed by Chongqing Medical University, and with the change of concept, there have been more volunteers in China in recent years.
In Chongqing Medical University, the number of body donations in the past five years has increased year by year, and in the 15 years from 1980 to 1995, the university has only realized 16 cases of body donations, compared with 181 cases of body donations accepted by the university in 2020. By the end of 2020, 5,322 people had completed the registration procedures for the donation of remains.
Body donors are great, the use of remains also has a strict regulatory system, taking Chongqing Medical University as an example, the school strictly stipulates the scope of use of remains, various processes and norms, and stipulates that the relevant information and information related to the body (organ) donation are confidential, without consent, it must not be disclosed, to protect the privacy of donors and their families.
In addition, teachers will lead students to hold a simple silent ceremony before the autopsy of the remains, and every year on the Qingming Festival, teachers and students will pay tribute to the donors to express their respect for the donors.
