"Sister, do you want to buy flowers?" "Brother, do you want to buy flowers?" At night, the cold wind outside a commercial square in Jinan City is cold, and the temperature drops below zero. Yu Shanmei, dressed in a thin red Hanfu, was frozen all over her body, and she held three or four bouquets of roses in her arms, wrapped around the pink stars and lanterns. Next to Yu Shanmei stood a conspicuous sign, a photograph of herself in the rose bush and five conspicuous characters: Sell flowers to save her brother. The picture shows Yu Shanmei selling flowers on the street at night.
Yu Shanmei, 20, from rural Juxian County, Rizhao City, Shandong Province, is now a junior at Liaocheng University. December 2021 was supposed to be the day yu Shanmei was preparing for the teaching aid and final exams at school, but her 12-year-old brother Yu Deshui suddenly had a relapse of leukemia and was lying in a painful hospital bed. Since his brother was diagnosed with leukemia in 2017, two years of long and painful chemotherapy treatment cost more than 600,000 yuan, this time his brother's condition suddenly accelerated, Yu Shanmei was worried. The picture shows Yu Shanmei and his brother.

My brother became seriously ill and relapsed
"On the evening of October 28, 2021, at dinner, my brother told his father that his first bout of pain was a bout, and his father rushed to take his brother to the hospital. With the help of the county people's hospital, mom and dad immediately transferred their brother to Shandong Provincial Hospital, and a few days later, he was transferred to the local children's hospital, where a brain CT detected a cerebellar tonsillar hernia and had surgery. Yu Shanmei said.
On November 15, Yu Deshui was pushed into the operating room at the Neurosurgery Department and was not pushed out from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. "After the operation, my brother was moaning in pain in the intensive care unit, my parents were crying outside the intensive care unit, I was at school, and after receiving the news, I could only comfort them over and over on the phone that it was okay, and my brother was cured after the pain passed."
However, the disease did not let go at all, pathological tests found that the tumor of the water was suspected of being infiltrated with leukemia, and the parents of the water immediately took the child to the hematology and oncology department for a bone marrow puncture, and finally determined that the leukemia recurred. This news once again defeated the whole family, this time the disease was transferred to the hospital for various examinations and surgeries cost more than 100,000 yuan, and now Yu Deshui is still hospitalized, how long to stay, how much to spend, is unknown.

Ten thousand roses
Since his brother was diagnosed with leukemia in March 2017, yu Shanmei's family has long been in debt. However, when his brother returned home from treatment in September 2019, Yu Shanmei and his parents were particularly happy to see his brother carrying a school bag to and from school like other children. "I still remember the first time he went to school with his school bag. Looking at his brother's happy look, His parents said that no amount of suffering in the past two years was worth it. ”
In the next two years, Yu Shanmei and her brother worked hard to study, and their parents worked hard to pay off their debts. But all the good hopes were shattered by the nightmare that came again. After her brother's serious illness recurred, Yu Shanmei, who had just finished the exam, asked the school counselor for leave and came to Jinan to visit her brother. The picture shows Yu Shanmei and his brother.
As long as there is a glimmer of hope, Yu Shanmei's family will not give up, but the younger brother's early treatment has already caused the whole family to be in debt, and relatives and friends have borrowed it all, and there is no way anymore. Yu Shanmei's tuition fees for college are all student loans, and the family relies on relatives to help them eat. At their most difficult time, the flower farmers of Zhaoxian Town, Juxian County, Rizhao City, reached out to them.
Yu Shanmei's village is a rose planting base in Shandong, and after the local women's director learned of their family's encounter, he contacted the loving growers Song Hongjuan, Yu Yuefu, and the door tenant to donate 10,000 roses for free, and prepared to raise money for Yu Deshui to treat his illness after the charity sale. "The child is too pitiful, the child's early treatment spent so much money has not eased up, and now the disease has recurred, we as villagers, watching the child grow up, can help must help." 」 Song Hongjuan said. The picture shows Yu Shanmei and his brother in the ward.
The roses donated by Song Hongjuan and two households are sold at cost prices, a rose costs three yuan, the group purchase of more than 100 can also be free shipping, and the express delivery fee is also paid by the three villagers themselves, "Everyone works together to help the water to overcome the disease." The picture shows Yu Shanmei's father worried about Yu Shanmei's illness.
Selling flowers to save my brother, full of ice
When Yu Shanmei called her father, she learned that the village had donated roses to them, but because her mother had to take care of her brother in the hospital, her father also had to deal with various things, pay fees, cook, and did not have time. At that time, Yu Shanmei just finished the exam, and there was nothing to do in the school, so she took a leave of absence from the counselor and went to sell flowers next to the hospital where her brother was.
On December 1, 2021, Yu Shanmei arrived in Jinan and began selling flowers on December 3. In order to sell the flowers smoothly, Yu Shanmei also decorated the roses with stars and installed star lights in the packaging. "At that time, my father and I were selling in the square all the time, we had no stalls, no beautiful packaging, in order to attract the attention of passers-by, to be able to sell a few more bouquets of flowers, I thought of the Hanfu I bought when I participated in the club activities before." The picture shows Yu Shanmei selling flowers on the street.
So in the temperature of minus a few degrees, Yu Shanmei wore a thin Hanfu, a sweater underneath, and leggings on her legs, and stood in the cold wind for several hours. However, what is even more chilling than the temperature is that passers-by are all wrapped in cotton clothes and hurry. "Very few people stop to talk to me, or listen to me, basically turn a blind eye, and whenever I walk over to communicate with them, they just take a detour, don't listen to me, and some even think of me as a liar." 」
At first, I didn't feel cold, but after staying for two or three hours, Yu Shanmei felt that her body was cold and purple. Because of the cold, she shivered unceasingly, and her cheeks were frozen red, but she said: "Although her hands are cold and cold, but in order to save my brother, everything is worth it, I am very eager to sell these roses, sell a bouquet of flowers, my brother will have more hope." "Looking back on the time when I sold flowers, the biting cold and good beauty is still fresh in my mind." Every time I went back to the rental house, I hurried into the quilt and felt that it would not be warm for a night. The picture shows Yu Shanmei selling flowers on the street.
The younger brother's condition worsened and he urgently needed a transplant
The daughter's efforts, the father looked very distressed, but also very guilty. But because he had to take care of his son, he couldn't go out and earn money. "Looking at my two children, one lying in a hospital bed suffering every day, the other standing on the street selling flowers on a cold night, as a father, how can I bear it, but what can I do?"
Yu Deshui came to Jinan Children's Hospital for treatment on November 26, 2021, and began chemotherapy, blood draw, waist puncture, bone puncture... It takes 12 hours a day just to do the infusion. However, after more than a month of chemotherapy, the situation is still not very good, the child's lung infection, weak body, the cost of more than five thousand per day. Knowing that his parents and sister had paid for himself, one day, Yu Deshui said to his mother with a serious face: "Mother, if there is no money, let's go home, without me dragging this family, and my sister will be filial to you." After the mother listened, tears instantly filled her eyes with tears while holding her sensible son. The picture shows the mother taking care of Yu Deshui.
At the end of December 2021, Yu Deshui's condition worsened and he was transferred to a hospital in Beijing, where doctors told them that the child now had to be transplanted. The family took blood tests to see who was better suited to his brother's match and gave him a transplant. The hospital required that the transplant warehouse should prepare 250,000 yuan for treatment, but when he first got sick, he borrowed a lot of money from relatives and friends until the child recurred, and there were more than 60,000 yuan in arrears that were not repaid. The picture shows the mother and son in the ward.
After Yu Deshui's recurrence, he has spent more than 200,000 yuan in Jinan Children's Hospital, and they have raised money everywhere, borrowed 100,000 yuan from relatives and friends, and sold 70,000 yuan in their hands, and now there is still a gap of 150,000 yuan from the final transplant cost. The doctor told them that the hope of Yu Deshui being cured was very great. Now the hope of the child's birth is at hand, and the family tries every day to raise money, but it is only a drop in the bucket.
