A touching story of organ donation

□ 16 February 16 received a letter from Zhou Changyu of Leling, Texas, which was the third anniversary of his daughter Zhou Yue's death. Zhou Changyu chose this day to express her wish to us: learn from 13-year-old daughter and donate all her organs after her death.

□ Three years ago, 13-year-old Zhou Yue unfortunately suffered from leukemia. In the last few months of her life, the little girl's greatest wish was to donate her body to a medical research institution. She wants to make more people stop suffering from leukemia by studying herself. Later, her wish came true. At the moment when the body was taken away, her father Zhou Changyu made up his mind to donate all his organs after his death.

-But Zhou Changyu's wish didn't come true. What bothers him is that he can't find a special agency to handle this matter. Zhou Changyu said that if this wish cannot be realized, he will never live with peace of mind in his life.

Wishing story

Daughter's three entreaties

Zhou Yue, a very smart and enterprising girl, is the monitor and secretary of the Youth League branch. On February/3, 2006, he was diagnosed with leukemia on February/0/6, died on February/0/6, and was under observation on February/0/7.

Bringing up the past is tantamount to cutting Zhou Changyu's heart with a knife, but Zhou Changyu still insists on going on. He said that he could not forget the scene where his daughter begged him to agree to donate his body three times. He said he made this decision because he couldn't discredit his daughter.

Zhou Yue's first request to donate remains was in August 20001year. At that time, she was hospitalized in Tianjin Hematology Hospital. Zhou Changyu, who works in Laoling Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, hurried to see her daughter at the weekend. My daughter took advantage of her mother's opportunity to go shopping and solemnly said to her father, "Dad, I want to ask you something."

Zhou Changyu thought that her daughter wanted to eat and wear, so she readily agreed. Unexpectedly, Zhou Yue said, "Dad, look at my diary. I know what's wrong with me, but I know many people are concerned about me. I want to donate my body and return to this society. " Zhou Changyu heard this, tears in her eyes. He said, "Take your time, son. Don't worry. " Zhou Yueyi was anxious: "If you can't, it will be late."

"Okay, okay." Zhou Changyu choked out three words. He turned his head and rushed to the balcony and burst into tears.

Zhou Changyu said that when he first heard his daughter's pleading, he didn't agree with her idea at all. How can a parent give up?

200 1 10 When Zhou Changyu went to the hospital to see his daughter, he met a reporter from Tianjin TV Station who came to the hospital to cover other things. Zhou Yue skipped over and said to the reporter seriously, "Aunt, I have blood cancer. If I'm really unlucky, I want to donate my body. I don't want to burn it for nothing. It doesn't help at all. " The TV reporter was shocked, and Zhou Changyu, who was hiding on the side, could only swallow his tears into his stomach.

The third time Zhou Changyu heard her daughter make this request was at 20011. At that time, Zhou Yue's condition had deteriorated, and even the hospital gave up treatment and let her go home for the last few days. At home, whenever Zhou Yue can't stand the pain, she will shout, "Mom and Dad, can't you meet my requirements?" I died and was burned to ashes. What's the use of crying with my ashes? You really miss me, just have me in your heart ... "

Under the persuasion of her daughter, Zhou Changyu and his wife cried bitterly and finally decided to satisfy their daughter's wishes.

Father's two vows

200 1 1 6 On the evening of February 16, 13-year-old Zhou Yue finished her short life course. Until her death, she kept saying, "Donate me, and you can do research, so other children don't have to suffer this ..."

12 17, Zhou Yue's body was picked up by the body donation reception center of Shandong Medical College. Looking at her daughter's dying body, Zhou Yue made a vow: Her daughter has such a high level at such a young age, and her parents should not discredit her. I want to donate bone marrow and all my organs.

One month after her daughter's death, Zhou Changyu came to the Red Cross Society of Shandong Province for bone marrow matching. He has been waiting for leukemia patients who have successfully matched to come to him.

Zhou Changyu couldn't sleep at night because of her daughter's last wish. He simply resigned and went to Beijing to engage in some public welfare activities with the China Red Cross and CCTV, which lasted for one and a half years.

Last June, Zhou Changyu returned to Leling from Beijing. Zhou Yue, who has been dead for more than a year, still feels like living in this home. All her things are in the same place, spotless. When he got home, Zhou Changyu felt more and more sorry for his daughter: he only fulfilled one oath he promised her. Will the daughter feel that her father has broken his word when she is underground?

Desire annotation

My daughter always urges me.

In Zhou Changyu's letter, he wrote: "My daughter has such a high level at such a young age. As an adult, why can't I abandon secular thoughts? " It's a pity that people died and burned in vain. It is better to leave useful things such as cornea, kidney and liver, which may bring light and happiness to others. People living in society can't always think about themselves. This society is a whole. "

"No matter who uses my organs in the future, don't tell them my name, don't let them know who I am, as long as they can see the light and live. Why can't I do what my daughter can do? "

Zhou Changyu said that if his wish comes true, he hopes to plant a tree next to his tombstone in the future. Trees are evergreen and alive, which is more meaningful than cold ashes.

Speaking of which, Zhou Changyu turned on the computer again, and her daughter didn't give them a chance to cry with the ashes. Whenever he misses her, he will turn on the computer to read the articles about his daughter reported by the media at the beginning, listen to the recording of his daughter's interview and listen to her immature voice. Zhou Changyu said to her in his heart: Son, what Dad promised you will be done!

Have a good trip!

Husband's insistence

Back in Leling, Zhou Changyu contacted organ donation while doing business. I didn't expect his wish to be so difficult to realize.

Zhou Changyu called the local hospital, and the people in the hospital said, "Zhou Yue is still uncomfortable, so you have to donate! Do you think Leling has donated money? Forget it. "

Zhou Changyu did not give up. He called Leling, Texas Red Cross and Health Bureau. Some of them said they didn't understand, and some told him they didn't know which unit should handle this matter.

Zhou Changyu went to ask a friend where he could donate his body. As soon as he mentioned this, his friend's eyes became strange: "You are not sick, are you?"

What makes Zhou Changyu even more uncomfortable is that the society not only disagrees with his idea of donating organs, but even thinks that Zhou Yue's practice of donating remains has ulterior motives. Once, relatives asked him and his wife face to face: "Are you two too cruel?" After the child died, he sold it. Did they give you 32,000 yuan or180,000 yuan? "

Zhou Changyu has been unwilling to explain his wish to others, not to mention that Zhou Yue has not donated a penny of his body. Even the notary fee was originally paid by himself, but the people in the notary office were specially exempted because of their special circumstances.

Wife's understanding

Zhou Changyu did all these things without telling his wife. He once talked to his wife, and she began to cry on the spot. She said, "Zhou Yue just left, and you are like this. Have you considered my feelings? "

Until two months ago, a good friend of his died in a car accident. Looking at his friend's crushed body, Zhou Changyu felt particularly uncomfortable: people may have an accident at any time and don't know when to leave. In case of an accident, this wish may never come true. Finally, he chose the special day of 65438+February 16 and wrote a letter for help to our "special wish".

After writing the letter, Zhou Changyu and his wife have dinner together. He solemnly told his wife: "My greatest wish in my life is to donate organs after death. I hope you can promise me. "

After grinding all night, my wife finally agreed. She said: "Seeing that he is so persistent, I know I can't stop it. It doesn't matter. In the future, let my son learn from his parents and sisters and be a useful person to society. "
