"Postponement of Chemotherapy for a Cancer-stricken Girl to Prepare for the College Entrance Exam" - Follow-up: The 3 Weeks of University Life Were Her Most Cherished Days
At the scholarship distribution ceremony held on August 24, Wang Jie received a 5000 yuan scholarship. Her mother said that it was the happiest day for Wang Jie.
In June this year, the Huaxi Metropolis Daily reported on how Wang Jie battled cancer while preparing for the college entrance exam, touching countless citizens. In August, Wang Jie received her admission notice from Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine but faced the risk of dropping out due to family poverty. Subsequently, the Huaxi Dream Realization Fund helped her realize her university dream.
- "Even during hospitalization, when classmates visited her, she always smiled and talked about school matters with us, never mentioning her condition."
On August 3, Wang Jie participated in the "Huaxi Sunshine Scholarship 1+1" large-scale pairing assistance ceremony, painting "The Tree of Hope" together with other assisted students (file photo).
- "I've grown up so much without having the time to repay my parents; I feel very sorry for them."
Wang Jie, the Pengzhou girl who fulfilled her university dream with the help of the Huaxi Dream Realization Fund, passed away due to cancer.

"She is my most excellent daughter, and I am forever proud of her." Wang Jie's father said.
- "Mom and Dad, I often fall into deep self-reproach because I cannot accompany you until old age. Afraid of making you sad, I always force myself to smile."
Afflicted with illness, Wang Jie was most concerned about her parents. "You must live strongly," were her last words to her parents. To prevent their loneliness, she specially instructed her mother to have another child after she was gone.
After being diagnosed with "Hodgkin's lymphoma" last year, Wang Jie spent her entire senior year in her bedroom. During her preparation for the college entrance exam, she quietly sat on the bed reading books, with piles of review materials and test papers stacked by her bedside.
On the morning of November 26, this 18-year-old girl left the world.
However, three weeks after starting university life, her condition began to deteriorate. Afraid of worrying her parents and friends, she always maintained a smile, persistently infecting those around her with her optimistic spirit.
Xu Yong is the teacher who taught Wang Jie advanced mathematics. He had a deep impression of Wang Jie. Because her class had over sixty people attending lectures together, to see more clearly what the teacher wrote on the blackboard, she would always stand up to listen.
Wang Jie once told her classmate Zhang Miaoli, "I've grown up so much without having the time to repay my parents; I feel very sorry for them." To prevent her parents from worrying, no matter how uncomfortable she felt, Wang Jie always forced herself to smile and even bought a book called "Emotion Control Techniques" to learn how to control her emotions.
In June this year, the Huaxi Metropolis Daily published an article titled "Cancer-stricken Girl Postpones Chemotherapy to Prepare for the College Entrance Exam," reporting on the story of Pengzhou girl Wang Jie. Subsequently, the Huaxi Dream Realization Fund helped her realize her dream of going to university.
On September 6, Wang Jie started the university life she had longed for. Attending classes with her roommates, chatting and eating together, strolling around the campus during free time, going to the library to read books... These seemingly ordinary days were the ones Wang Jie cherished the most, but she only experienced such a life for three weeks.
In the third week of school, Wang Jie's condition worsened, and she began to cough violently. "She hoped we would treat her as a normal person and never mentioned her condition." In the eyes of her roommate Zhou Xuan, Wang Jie was a very strong girl. At night, to avoid disturbing her roommates' sleep, she always restrained herself from making any coughing sounds, "Even during hospitalization, when classmates visited her, she always smiled and talked about school matters with us, never mentioning her condition."

Only in her diary did she reveal her vulnerable inner thoughts. Wang Jie valued the notebook distributed during the Huaxi Sunshine Scholarship activity the most. Her last letter to her parents was written on it. It was prepared two months ago, and in the letter, it was written: "Mom and Dad, unable to accompany you until old age, I often fall into deep self-reproach. Afraid of making you sad, I always force myself to smile."
Yesterday, the reporter revisited her bedroom again. The youthful face in the photos still radiates a smile, and her favorite little bear still leans against the pillow, but the figure who studied hard for the college entrance exam by the bedside a few months ago is no longer there.
