The Story of a Mother Walking to Save Her Son by Liver Donation - This is the True Affection in the World

To eliminate severe fatty liver in order to transplant it and save her son, a 55-year-old mother from Wuhan named Chen Yurong, nicknamed the "power-walking mom," successfully transplanted her qualified liver to her biological son after walking 10 kilometers every day for seven months.

Chen Yurong, a resident of Jiang'an District in Wuhan City, has a son who suffers from congenital diseases and liver dysfunction. In December last year, her son's liver disease flared up again. Watching her son's condition worsen day by day, she decided to use her own liver to save his life. However, after a medical examination, doctors informed her that she had moderate to severe fatty liver disease, which would pose a certain risk to the recipient if she donated her liver.

But Chen Yurong did not give up on saving her son. She resolutely started her weight loss plan. From February this year, every morning she went to the Tanjiaji embankment near her home and walked briskly for 10 kilometers regardless of weather conditions.

In the following seven months, Chen Yurong wore out four pairs of sneakers and her weight dropped from 68 kilograms to 60 kilograms. When she went back to the hospital for another checkup, the fatty liver had completely disappeared, shocking even the doctors.

At the end of last month, both Chen Yurong and her son were admitted to the hospital for further examinations and expert consultations. Yesterday, the hospital's experts conducted a joint consultation and unanimously approved the "power-walking mom's" liver donation application.

This morning at eight o'clock, the "power-walking mom" Chen Yurong was finally pushed into the operating room as planned for a three-hour liver resection surgery. At eleven in the morning, amid cheers and encouragement, her son was also pushed into the operating room and successfully completed the liver transplant surgery at two in the afternoon.

After stepping out of the operating room today, Chen Yurong stated that she is determined to save her son's life through the liver transplant surgery. If she does not achieve her goal, she will continue to "power walk." Currently, both Chen Yurong and her son are recovering in the hospital.
