As she watched her son's condition worsen day by day, Dong Guanrong was almost losing hope. It was at this moment that volunteer Liu Ming thought of the migrant worker duo "Xuriyangang," who became overnight sensations after their cover of "Spring Days." Could Dong Guanrong attract similar public attention like them? Encouraged and assisted by Liu Ming, Dong Guanrong, who had lived in a rural area in Guangde for half her life and had never sung before, picked up a guitar and sat on a busy street in Hangzhou, tearfully learning to sing "Spring Days."

Xuriyangang's manager, Li Dong, also confirmed this matter to reporters. "A few days ago, I showed Liu Gang some newspaper and online news about Yang Debiao, and he was very moved. He immediately told me: Brother, we have to go." Li Dong said that Xuriyangang’s event schedule was already booked until after the New Year, and they were extremely busy recently. "But since they themselves come from a migrant worker background and share similar experiences with Yang Debiao, they deeply understand his difficulties. Therefore, they decided to cancel or postpone some activities and will specially travel to Hangzhou next week to perform on stage with Yang Debiao and his mother, sending them the determination, willpower, and strength to overcome difficulties."

It is understood that on the 18th of this month, a charity concert for migrant workers will be held as scheduled in Hangzhou, and all the funds raised will be used entirely for Yang Debiao's treatment.

Yesterday, the reporter contacted Yang Debiao, who was lying in bed at the Zhejiang Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. "I heard my mom say yesterday that the migrant workers in Hangzhou are organizing a concert specifically to raise medical fees for me, and Xuriyangang will also come," Yang Debiao said.

This video, after being uploaded online, moved countless netizens with the greatness of maternal love.

The migrant worker duo Xuriyangang became internet sensations after their cover of "Spring Days," and in Zhejiang Hangzhou, Dong Guanrong from Guangde sang "Spring Days" tearfully on the streets to raise medical fees for her critically ill son, Yang Debiao, moving countless netizens. Yesterday, it was learned that Xuriyangang will perform on the same stage with this Anhui mother and son, and all the funds raised will be used entirely for Yang Debiao's treatment.

A righteous mother moves the masses

On November 25, our newspaper reported under the title "I Am Willing to Accompany Her to Street Performances" about how last September, while working in Zhejiang, Yang Debiao from Guangde County in our province was diagnosed with severe aplastic anemia. To treat their son, Yang Debiao's parents sold everything they could at home and managed to gather more than 200,000 yuan through borrowing, but soon ran out of money.
