According to Wang Chuanyou's aunt, Wang Chuanyou's father's condition is now relatively stable and he is in the rehabilitation treatment period. However, the daily medical expenses still amount to more than 2000 yuan. Due to the possibility of relapse, it is unknown how long it will take for him to fully recover. So far, nearly 400,000 yuan has been spent on treatment, and there is still more than 80,000 yuan owed to the hospital.
In the following few days, Wang Chuanyou uploaded some photos of his father in the hospital. Whether they would be useful or not, he had no idea.
The father was admitted to the intensive care unit. In just a few days of hospitalization, over 100,000 yuan had already been spent. "My uncle sold everything valuable at home to raise money for my father's treatment, borrowed 50,000-60,000 yuan from everywhere, and now we are heavily in debt," Wang Chuanyou said. His uncle had done his best.
At the desperate moment when Wang Chuanyou had no money to treat his seriously ill father, he tried to post such a Weibo message. Without much hope, the result was unexpectedly touching. There is love in the virtual world too, and every donation lit up the hope of his entire family. None of the netizens left their names; all that remained were private messages filled with blessings.
Wang Chuanyou could not thank them in person, so he would leave a message on Weibo every time he received a donation.
Wang Chuanyou did not expect that his Weibo message would be forwarded over 700 times. After confirming the authenticity of the message, some netizens started donating to the bank account he posted on Weibo. After each donation, the donors only sent a Weibo private message reminding him to check, and none of them left their names.
Wang Chuanyou wanted to earn money as soon as possible to reduce the burden. The photo of his father he posted on Weibo.

A Weibo private message equals one donation
Last month, Wang Chuanyou's father was transferred to the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical College, and his condition significantly improved. "Today, with our help, my father finally stood up. I hope my father can recover soon, no matter how long it takes, we really can't afford this." Wang Chuanyou said yesterday.
"I want to work after graduating from junior high school. My family is destitute, and my uncle owes a lot of money outside. If I start working earlier, I can relieve the burden on my family sooner." Wang Chuanyou said, revealing a maturity beyond his years.
On September 24th, with the help of his classmates, Wang Chuanyou distributed about 7,000 to 8,000 flyers seeking help on the street.
"Thank you to the kind-hearted person named 'Kerry Mama' who transferred 600 yuan to save our lives into the Agricultural Bank account. Thank you for your help and support!"
The doctor said that curing this disease would cost at least several hundred thousand yuan. With no options left, Wang Chuanyou's second mother also abandoned them without saying goodbye.
Hearing that help could be sought through Weibo, on the evening of September 9th, Wang Chuanyou opened a Sina Weibo account under the name "Save My Father's Life" and posted a trial plea for help.
As a result, he unexpectedly raised 150,000 yuan in life-saving funds.
Father in critical condition: Unable to bear the huge treatment costs
Wang Chuanyou said he could not lose his father who had been his sole companion. He would find a way to cover the medical expenses.
However, good times did not last long. On August 30th this year, his father suddenly experienced unbearable abdominal pain. Diagnosed with acute severe pancreatitis at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical College, his life was in constant danger.
"Aunties and uncles, hello! I am a junior high school student from Wenzhou No. 39 Middle School. I am here to seek help from society. On the evening of August 30th, my father, who I depend on for survival, suffered from sudden severe pancreatitis. Due to the need for enormous medical expenses, we cannot continue the treatment. Please, kind-hearted people, save my father. Once I finish school, I will definitely repay you."
"Thank you to the kind-hearted Weibo netizen named 'COCO Mai' who transferred 1,000 yuan to save my father."
Wang Chuanyou has a notebook where he records all the donation information. He said these are favors that must be repaid in the future.
In over a month, Wang Chuanyou received nearly 150,000 yuan in donations through various channels. "Their help I will never forget," he recalled. When his father lacked the money for the third surgery, an uncle from Hangzhou sent 10,000 yuan, solving the urgent problem. An elderly man over 80 years old from Wenzhou climbed six floors to the ward and delivered 2,000 yuan.
An uncertain Weibo plea for help, if people were indifferent, would quickly be lost in the vast sea of online information.

In December last year, his father married his stepmother, and Wang Chuanyou finally had a complete family. They lived in two rented rooms separated by partitions in the urban area of Wenzhou with his uncle's family of three. Although life was tough, Wang Chuanyou was content as long as he could be with his family.
