Shi Shi, a suzhou girl, loves to laugh, love to sing, love animation, and is a pistachio in the eyes of her family and teachers and classmates. This lively and cheerful girl has been fighting the disease for 6 years. Just a few days ago, due to complications that led to organ failure, her life was forever fixed at the age of 16. Before leaving this world, Shi Shi made a decision: donate the available organs to help others.
Shi Shi's wish was fulfilled today.
Kind shi shi
Thank you for coming into this world
The third floor of this old tube building in Pingwang Town, Wujiang District, Suzhou City, is the home of Shi Shi, a 16-year-old girl.
Six years ago, Shi Shi, who had just turned 10, was diagnosed by doctors with systemic lupus erythematosus, and since then she has been taking school at home and relying on medication every day to maintain treatment.
In June this year, Shi Shi's lupus suddenly recurred, and during the hospitalization, he was complicated by aspergillosis pneumonia and multi-organ failure. On September 21, Shi Shi was taken home. On September 30, the girl tragically died of illness at home.
Before leaving this world, Shi Shi had made an important decision.
Shi Shi's mother Jiang Jufen: I have always told me, Mom, I definitely want to give back to this society, because everyone has helped me, I will definitely help everyone, you have also helped me deal with it, organ donation, because it may help more people.
Shi Shi's mother told us that the child has long applied to become an organ donation volunteer.
During the six years of illness, as long as her health allowed, Shi Shi would accompany her mother to volunteer and serve the elderly. Trying to help others is the girl's greatest wish.
After Shi Shi's death, the family endured grief and contacted the staff of the body donation receiving station of Su University Medical College, performed cornea removal surgery, and donated Shi Shi's body to the medical school for pathology and anatomy teaching and research.
Shi Shi's mother, Jiang Jufen: Since she had this idea before, then we fulfilled her last wish, if her cornea can be donated to another person, she can also see the world, in fact, for me, for our family, she is still living in another way.
Corneal transplantation is successful
The 15-year-old will regain his light
Today, Shi Shi's wish has come true. The person who received her cornea was Yan Mingpu, a 15-year-old boy. Xiao Yan's hometown is in Henan, and it has been 12 years since he came to Suzhou with his parents. From childhood to adulthood, Xiao Yan has always been a bully and never let his parents worry.
After the end of this year's middle school entrance examination, he suddenly felt that his vision in his left eye was becoming more and more blurred, and he was almost blind, and was later diagnosed by doctors as keratoconus.
Zhao Qingliang, director of the Cornea Department of the Ideal Eye Hospital Affiliated to Soochow University: The disease of keratoconus is congenital, generally 12 years old to 13 years old after the onset, the current child is 15 years old, his keratoconus disease has been more serious, one eye only 0.1 vision, very poor, has seriously affected his life and learning.
Yan Mingpu, a senior high school student in Suzhou Park No. 2 Middle School: If I cover my right eye, my left eye is basically unable to see anything, my mother was particularly anxious at that time, and if she wanted to be cured, she could only undergo corneal transplant surgery.
Just when Yan Mingpu's parents were extremely anxious, the hospital sent news that the cornea donated by peers had been found, and the Wuzhong Public Welfare Foundation would also provide assistance for medical expenses.
Yan Mingpu's mother Liu Jinli: In fact, I am very sad in my heart, although the child has got the cornea, but another child has lost his life, for me, in fact, I am also sad in my heart, because other people's families have lost their children, our family is after all the eyes, very lucky, very grateful to them, very grateful to Shi Shi, Shi Shi's mother. In fact, our family thinks so, and we will do the same in the future, leaving our own organs to others and letting a kind of beauty stay.
At three o'clock in the afternoon of October 3, at the Ideal Eye Hospital Affiliated to Soochow University, the corneal transplant surgery officially began, and the nearly one-hour operation was successful. It is expected that after half a month, Xiao Yan's left eye will be able to return to normal vision.
Zhao Qingliang, director of the Department of Cornea of the Ideal Eye Hospital affiliated to Soochow University: We made him a lamellar corneal transplant to retain the posterior elastic layer and endothelial layer of his own cornea, so that the rejection reaction after surgery is almost non-existent, which can achieve long-term better results, and there is no problem in achieving a normal person's vision.
Yan Mingpu, a senior high school student in Suzhou Park No. 2 High School: Donating her own body organs to others is not something that everyone can do, this is the greatness of those selfless devotees, so I am especially grateful to them, so that I can see the clear world again, and I will also use my life, with her cornea, to see a better and broader sky.
