According to Chinese media Henan TV and Hong Kong media South China Morning Post, Liu Fuyu, a 13-year-old boy living in Henan Province, China, is in the intensive care unit of Zhengzhou University's First Affiliated Hospital with eight terminal diseases.
He is suffering from the disease, weighing only 15kg, and his kidney condition has become particularly serious recently. I'm having a hard time even talking.
Before the hospitalization, the mother, Lee, said her son "I miss my motherWhen he saw the message sent, he felt that he was in bad condition and took him to the hospital in a hurry.
The doctor said that if he had not received treatment at that time, his life would have been in danger.
Liu Fuyu was born with multiple body deformities. In particular, he learned how to write with his left hand because his right hand was severely twisted.
Due to the limited visit time to the intensive care unit, the mother wrote a letter to her son every day to send a message of support. There was also a letter with the phrase "'Let's hang in there, son.'"
Then one day, the mother received a reply from her son. The letters in the letter were crooked, showing how much pain it took to write.
In the letter, Liu Fuyu pleaded with her mother to stop the treatment because of the hospital bill. He wrote that he was feeling afraid and wanted to go back home.
He said "Mom, the medicine doesn't work. I'll get better when I go home," he wrote.
The mother, Lee, shed tears while reading her son's letter. She said "The pain my son suffers is the pain of my heart" and "I will save him no matter what."
The doctor explained that Liu Fuyu needs long-term dialysis treatment, and in some cases, kidney transplants should be considered.
However, the cost of treatment is a huge burden on Lee, a single mother, and she had to stop treatment and repeat discharge due to economic difficulties.
Liu Fuyu's 10-year-old sister showed such affection that she said she would carry her brother on her back when she went out.
The story drew tears from many people online.
One netizen commented "Poor child, I hope you get well soon" while another said "Giving up treatment may reduce the pain, but I understand how painful it is for a mother to let go of her child," he said.
