According to Chinese media such as Jimu News, 25-year-old Sen and Tao, who live in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, were taken to a hospital after their daughter, who was born earlier this year, showed jaundice symptoms.
As a result of several tests, genetic causes include bile congestion (a condition in which bile that helps digestion is accumulated in the liver or bile duct) and cirrhosis.
"After the child was born, his skin continued to turn yellow and he was taken to the hospital for examination, which was confirmed to be a genetic problem," Sen said of the situation at the time.
There was no treatment at the local hospital, so I had to go to a large hospital in Shanghai.
Parents inquired about the possibility of drug treatment at a Shanghai hospital, and medical staff explained that the effect was limited and that liver transplantation was the only sure method.
In response, his father, Sen, said he would transplant and received a suitable test and heard from the medical staff that the transplant was possible.
The transplant was performed for the past 13 days and was successfully completed.
After the operation, the father and daughter are quickly recovering health.
In particular, the 8-month-old daughter smiled brightly on the hospital bed as if to repay her family and medical staff.
The couple, who were not economically relaxed, experienced great difficulties in the treatment process. It has cost more than 100,000 yuan (about 20 million won) in medical expenses so far.
Sen, who had to quit his job, is not hospitalized immediately after surgery to reduce hospital costs, but returns to a rental house and continues his recovery by disinfecting wounds and dressing himself. He posted on social media "Daddy will do his best for you. Don't worry, I have a dad, so..." he wrote, drawing tears from many people.
This story became a big topic in China.
Many netizens left messages of blessing and support in the comments, and some voluntarily participated in donations.
