The child went to Beijing, always at risk.

**Afternoon of December 2**, reporters at Jilin University First Hospital's No. 3 Inpatient Building, Room 515, saw little Haoran lying in bed receiving an IV drip. His face was slightly pale, and he had fallen asleep. His grandfather, grandmother, and aunt were by his side taking care of him. "The doctor said it will cost three to fifty million yuan for medical expenses!" The child's grandmother said. They are farmers, and to treat their child's illness, they borrowed money everywhere, but there is still a significant gap from the exorbitant costs. "Who can help me contact someone? I want to sell my kidney to save my grandson!"

**Report (Intern reporter Chi Jiuyang)** A 5-year-old boy named Li Haoran suffers from leukemia. To treat him, the family has raised money from all sides, but there is still a large gap from the required treatment cost of 500,000 yuan. The boy’s 54-year-old grandmother cried and said: "Who can help me contact someone? I want to sell my kidney to save my grandson!"

"The child doesn't yet know how serious his condition is. These days, he keeps saying he wants to go back to kindergarten to see his little friends. Whenever he says this, I can't help but cry, and the child asks me why I am crying. I tell him that I'm afraid I'll never see him again. But the child comforts me, saying his illness will get better soon." Little Haoran's aunt cried as she spoke.

"The doctor said the treatment cost will be between 300,000 to 500,000 yuan. We've already sold everything we could at home, and we've only managed to raise more than 10,000 yuan. This amount is far too little compared to what is needed for the child's treatment," Ms. Quan sobbed. "The child is still young. I would rather give up my life to save his!"

Li Haoran lives in Shuangqiao Village, Weizigou Town, Jiutai City. Twenty days ago, when his grandfather Li Berlin sent him to kindergarten, he noticed a lump resembling a tumor on his right calf. They went to the hospital for a check-up, and the initial diagnosis was a fracture. However, after returning home for a few days, his leg pain became unbearable. On November 25, the family brought him to Jilin University First Hospital, where doctors discovered that he had lymphocytic leukemia.

Doctors stated that it is currently unclear whether the lump-like growth on Xiao Haoran's right calf is directly related to his leukemia. However, the child's condition is very severe now, and treatment cannot be delayed. It is necessary to conduct further examinations in Beijing.

**December 3 Afternoon**, Xiao Haoran's family took him to Beijing. After getting off the train at midnight yesterday, they went directly to Beijing Children's Hospital. Around 5 PM yesterday, his mother, Quan Libo, called and said they hadn't been admitted yet. Currently, the child's body has developed many purplish-red bleeding spots. The doctor said immediate treatment is needed; otherwise, the child's life is in danger at any moment, and once bleeding starts, it will be difficult to stop.

Li Berlin said that when his daughter-in-law gave birth to Xiao Haoran, they spent over 50,000 yuan on blood and platelets at the hospital, depleting most of their savings at that time. From discovering the child's illness until now, they have already spent over 50,000 yuan. To treat the child, his parents returned home to raise more money. "These days, the child sings songs and recites poems to me every day. He can still recite the poems he learned in kindergarten last year. There is still a straw house and five chickens left at our home. I will sell them. No matter what, I must save my grandson!"
