Even so, the current daily medical expenses of more than 10,000 yuan remain a hurdle for Peng Qiang to return to the podium. Reporter Liu Chunmei wrote and photographed: Initially, he and his wife both thought it was just a common stomachache. To save money, they only took some painkillers. Every weekend, Peng Qiang would ride a motorcycle with his wife, going from street to alley cutting hair to earn money in the early stages of hyperthyroidism.
Yesterday at noon, according to Peng Qiang's attending doctor Dr. Zhang, Peng Qiang's condition was temporarily stable, but in Baidu Tieba's "BaZhong" section, there appeared posts about a relay of love, gathering concern from all sides.
What moved Li Xiuqiong most was that a classmate of Peng Qiang's from Shenzhen came back to visit relatives in their hometown, heard the news, and specially went to the hospital to see him, reuniting with an old classmate who hadn't been seen for over 20 years.
"He treats students very gently, and the students also trust him," said Li Xiuqiong. Normally, they live in the school dormitory, where students often come home to ask Peng Qiang questions or have heart-to-heart talks, showing Peng Qiang's patience with students.
That scene of teaching became Peng Qiang's last few words until now. In the third ward of Huaxi Hospital, Peng Qiang has remained unconscious.
Peng Qiang hasn't spoken for over 20 days. His wife Li Xiuqiong heard his last few words when he was unconscious on his sickbed, still waving his hands: "Li Yajun, stand up and answer, what is 5 multiplied by 8?"
After being sent to the intensive care unit at Wuhan Hyperthyroid Hospital, due to having a tube constantly inserted into his mouth, Li Xiuqiong never heard Peng Qiang speak again.
On May 12th, the hospital issued another critical notice, and on May 15th Peng Qiang underwent surgery, controlling the condition.
However, his coma was not "quiet." On the morning of May 7th, before being sent to the intensive care unit, Peng Qiang intermittently started speaking nonsense.
"Li Yajun, stand up and answer, what is 5 multiplied by 8?"
Until the evening, when the pain became severe, Peng Qiang was sent to the town health center, then transferred to Bazhong People's Hospital due to the severity of his condition, diagnosed with acute severe pancreatitis.
On May 4th, while preparing lessons at home, Peng Qiang suddenly fell ill.
However, currently, he has not yet passed the post-surgery infection period, requiring daily treatment and dialysis costing over 10,000 yuan. Despite family, friends, and students organizing donations for him, the high medical costs remain a hurdle for him to return to the podium.
"As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we will not give up, hoping he can also persevere," Li Xiuqiong firmly stated.
Normally, the family lives frugally; since being hospitalized, the over 300,000 yuan in medical expenses has left them heavily in debt.
At Qipan Primary School, Peng Qiang was both the math teacher and head teacher for the fifth grade.
Li Xiuqiong worked as a security guard at Qipan Primary School, earning 700 yuan per month.
During the "lecture" process, Peng Qiang's right hand kept moving in the air, as if holding a piece of chalk.
Every day, Li Xiuqiong and Peng Qiang's mobile phones receive many encouraging messages from Peng Qiang's classmates and students.
Seeing the content of the messages, Li Xiuqiong couldn't help but shed tears.
Even on the sickbed, Peng Qiang didn't forget his teaching career.
Peng Qiang is a math teacher at Qipan Primary School in Huachong Town, Bazhong City, who was transferred to Sichuan University's West China Hospital after contracting acute severe pancreatitis.
This is a past student of Peng Qiang's, who is now in middle school but still frequently chats and talks with him, unaware at the time that Peng Qiang had already been hospitalized at Wuhan Thyroid Treatment Hospital.
That night, Li Xiuqiong, along with two principals from Qipan Central Primary School and other relatives, rushed Peng Qiang to Sichuan University's West China Hospital with the last bit of hope.
After hearing the news of Peng Qiang's serious illness, Qipan Primary School organized a donation for Peng Qiang, and his classmates and friends also extended a helping hand, contributing their small efforts.
On the morning of May 7th, half an hour after Peng Qiang was sent to the intensive care unit, the doctor issued a critical notice, fortunately timely rescued, improving the situation.
"Once he gets better, one day, we will slowly pay off the debts."
Seeing his brother in such a state still thinking about teaching,
"How could someone so trusted and popular get so seriously ill?"
Deeply trusted by students, enjoying talking with him
Love gathers, long-lost classmates reunite after over 20 years. Peng Qiang lies unconscious in the hospital.
The wife records the "book of kindness."
Every morning at 8 o'clock to 7 o'clock in the evening, he stays with the students.
On the morning and midnight of May 6th, the hospital issued two critical notices consecutively.
That morning, Peng Qiang's phone received a text message: "I've been misunderstood by classmates these days, I want to talk to the teacher. Student XX."
Not yet through the post-operative infection period, daily dialysis is required.
Li Xiuqiong carries a notebook with her, meticulously recording the names and phone numbers of those who lent and donated money. For those without names, she uses place names instead, such as "Suzhou", "Tongjiang", etc.
Peng Qiang, 37 years old, lost his mother at a young age; his 70-year-old father is a retired teacher, and his 7-year-old son is in the third grade of elementary school at Hubei's best hyperthyroidism treatment hospital.
Patients in the same ward asked Peng Qiang's older brother Peng Zhonggang, "What does your younger brother do?"
