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 recurrence, it is still unknown how long it will take for him to fully recover. So far, nearly 400,000 yuan has been spent on his treatment, and they still owe the hospital more than 80,000 yuan.
In the following days, Wang Chuanyou uploaded some photos of his father in the hospital. He wasn't sure if these actions would be useful or not.
His father was admitted to the intensive care unit. In just a few days of hospitalization, they had already spent over 100,000 yuan. "My uncle sold everything valuable at home to raise money for my dad's treatment, borrowed around 50,000-60,000 yuan from others, and now we are heavily in debt," said Wang Chuanyou. His uncle had done everything possible.
In the desperate situation where his father was severely ill and there was no money for treatment, the 14-year-old boy Wang Chuanyou tried to post such a Weibo message. Without much hope, the result moved him deeply. There is love in the virtual world too, as 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 couldn't thank them in person, so he would leave a message on Weibo each time he received a donation.
Wang Chuanyou didn't expect that his Weibo post would be forwarded more than 700 times. After confirming the authenticity of the message, some netizens started donating to the bank account he posted on Weibo. Each donor only sent a private Weibo message asking him to check the receipt, without leaving any name.
Hearing that help could be sought through Weibo, on the evening of September 9th, Wang Chuanyou opened a Sina Weibo account under the username "Save My Dad's Life" and posted a trial plea for help.
As a result, unexpectedly, he raised 150,000 yuan in life-saving funds.
Wang Chuanyou said he couldn't lose his father who he relied on for survival. He would find a way to cover the medical expenses.
However, good times didn't last long. On August 30th this year, his father suddenly experienced unbearable abdominal pain. Diagnosed by Wenzhou Medical College Affiliated Second Hospital, he had acute severe pancreatitis, which posed an immediate threat to his life.
"Thank you to the kind-hearted person named 'Kerry Mama' on Sina Weibo for sending 600 yuan of life-saving money to our Agricultural Bank account. Thank you for your help and support!"
Wang Chuanyou is from Huanggang, Hubei Province. He currently attends Class (4), Grade 9 of Wenzhou No. 39 Middle School. More than 10 years ago, he came to Wenzhou with his father who made a living repairing electrical appliances. Because of poverty, his mother left home when he was 2 years old.
A doctor said that treating this disease would cost at least several hundred thousand yuan. With no options left, Wang Chuanyou's stepmother also abandoned them and left without saying goodbye.

A Weibo message of uncertain authenticity, if people remain indifferent, would quickly be lost in the vast sea of online information.

In more than a month, Wang Chuanyou received nearly 150,000 yuan in donations through various channels. "Their help I will never forget," he recalled. When there was no money for his father's 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.
Wang Chuanyou has a notebook where he records all the donation information. He said, these are favors that need to be repaid in the future.

"Hello uncles and aunts: I am a student in Grade 9 of Wenzhou No. 39 Middle School. I am here to seek help from society. On the evening of August 30th, my father, who I rely on for survival, suddenly got acute severe pancreatitis. Due to the need for a large amount of medical expenses, we cannot continue the treatment. Please kind-hearted people save my father. After I graduate, I will definitely repay you."
"Thank you to a kind-hearted Weibo netizen who donated 5000 yuan of life-saving money for my father. May the kind-hearted person have a peaceful and healthy life!"
Last December, his father married his stepmother, and Wang Chuanyou finally had a complete family. They lived in two rented rooms separated by a partition in the urban area of Wenzhou with his uncle's family of three. Although life was tough, Wang Chuanyou felt content as long as he could be with his family.
