Chen Shiwen, 26 years old this year, is from Baiyun Village, Jiang Tang Township, Taihu County, Anqing City. After graduating from a junior college in Bozhou, he also studied the professional courses of Anhui University of Finance and Economics by himself. After graduation, due to poor physical condition, he basically did not work. His family traveled around Hefei, Nanjing, Shanghai and other places for medical treatment. Relying on dialysis, Chen's life was maintained. A kidney transplant, only this can save Chen's life! Fortunately, the hospital found a matching kidney source for Chen. However, the cost of a kidney transplant requires at least 400,000 yuan. The family sold all their belongings and borrowed money everywhere, but still could not raise enough money. At this time, one of Chen's classmates worked at Sina Weibo. This classmate found CCTV female anchor Zhang Quanling, who immediately contacted Chen's family through her colleagues.
On the morning of December 2, Zhang Quanling posted on Weibo: "A 26-year-old rural young man, Chen Shiwen, has uremia. The hospital has found a suitable kidney source for him, voluntary chain operation. This is his hope to survive! But it costs about 200,000 to 300,000 yuan. He got sick just when he graduated from university and had no job, no medical insurance. I have verified the situation. Chen's father's mobile phone number is 13485864097, account number: 62218 83680 01202 8855, bank: China Post Savings Bank Jiang Tang Township Branch, Taihu County, Account name: Chen Shiwen. Your help is requested!"
