The mother helped Cheng Xia, who had just finished dialysis, walked back to the ward.
According to Xinhua News Agency (reported by reporter Songnan Wang, intern Husong Xia, and correspondent Chunmei Li), Cheng Xia, a 20-year-old woman from Zhujiahe Village, Rong County, Sichuan Province, was diagnosed with renal failure in May last year but had no money for treatment. In the past year, local residents donated 280,000 yuan for her and sent her to XinQiao Hospital in our city on the 14th of this month to receive a kidney transplant surgery. However, the surgical fee only needed 150,000 yuan. Cheng Xia said yesterday that she would donate the remaining 130,000 yuan to people who need help like herself.
It is understood that Cheng Xia's home is located in a remote rural area. In 2005, her father suffered from rectal cancer and passed away two years later. In order to allow her brother to continue studying, Cheng Xia, who was then in the second year of high school, secretly quit school and went to work at a shoe factory in Chengdu without telling her family or teachers. Last May, she was diagnosed with renal failure. After her story became known locally, the public spontaneously organized visits and donations for her.
After the estimated cost of kidney transplantation surgery for Cheng Xia at XinQiao Hospital, it only needed 150,000 yuan. What about the remaining 130,000 yuan in donations? "I will not keep a single cent, and I will transfer it to people who need help like me," Cheng Xia firmly told the reporter. If the operation is successful, my life is given by society, and I will also do my best to give back to this society.
