On June 1, Cai Lei's live broadcast room of the icebreaker station was blocked. The reason is that the issuance of red envelopes is in violation, and the yellow V sign has also been lifted.
Cai Lei's wife Duan Rui came out in time to clarify and apologize, saying that it was because of some more radical promotional methods, and the live broadcast room was later unblocked.
In fact, there have been many people who have been singing about the couple's behavior since they began to decide to fight ALS.
Maybe in the eyes of ordinary people, with such a serious illness, there are only a few years left in their lives, and they are not short of money, why don't they live the next few years with more quality? You should focus on your family and live the rest of your life in peace.
But look at what Cai Lei did?
When he was first diagnosed with ALS, he said that he would save 500,000 people before he collapsed, so he began to use all his strength, mobilize all the resources around him, and began to toss.
First of all, he established a database of ALS cases, because he found that the reason why the research and development of this disease was slow was because there were few cases, and they were very scattered, and it was not easy to collect information, so Cai Lei first started from this aspect.
Later, in order to raise funds, Cai Lei followed Patrick Quinn and launched the Ice Bucket Challenge again. At that time, Quinn himself was ill, and in order to make ALS known to everyone, he launched the Ice Bucket Challenge.
The relay bearer needs to pour a bucket of ice water on himself, or else he will have to make a donation. At that time, the ice bucket challenge caused a global sensation, and many business tycoons such as Bill Gates, Zuckerberg, as well as China's Lei Jun and Zhou Hongyi, and many famous celebrities participated.
At the time, the event raised $220 million for ALS.
So Cai Lei launched this challenge with high morale, hoping to raise funds again.
What Cai Lei didn't expect was that this fundraising only raised 2 million yuan in the end, and some of them were a partner Cai Lei knew well, he said: "I will donate 1 million to you, don't toss." ”
In the eyes of others, this is a toss with life.
As a last resort, Cai Lei and his wife paid out of their own pockets and took out 100 million yuan for research and development. But to overcome ALS, such a project is not a short-term thing, and scientific research is the most money-burning one, just a small project, 9 months, spent 60 million.
It can be said that it is even more difficult to overcome such a problem faced by mankind as an individual.
In order to raise funds and make this project a little longer-term, Cai Lei decided to set up an "icebreaker station", and Duan Rui had to put down his previous work and concentrate on this project.
A talented woman from Peking University and a partner of an accounting firm, Duan Rui started her own live broadcast life. Most of the time, although Cai Lei can't speak, he will sit next to him for several hours. In the eyes of ordinary people, this is simply a living sin.
Others said, "Sympathize but don't support." Cai Lei's so-called ideals are nothing more than fantasies. No matter what the motive and purpose is, it is really incomprehensible to be an Internet celebrity desperately! The point is that many people feel that this netizen is right.
It seems that anyone who starts doing something extraordinary is going to have a steady stream of doubts. Even if it is an Internet celebrity, those who have not done anything, only know how to sing and dance, twist their butts, and show their flesh can be Internet celebrities, why can't Cai Lei and his wife? If there are more such Internet celebrities, I am afraid it is still the hope of the whole society.
Someone else said: "Those who came from the Internet are born to engage in marketing." I don't know what the psychology of the person who said this, after all, Cai Lei is already suffering from ALS, and he has to work hard to market himself, is there any unknown conspiracy?
It seems that in the eyes of these people, if they have ALS, they should honestly wait for death at home, not to fight for it, and not to show their faces. But if all ALS patients are like this, then this group is really hopeless.
Cai Lei once said such a passage, which made people teary-eyed. He said that thanks to God for letting him get sick at this age, if he had been earlier, he would not have the ability and resources to do these things. If it is later, I am old and frail, I am afraid that I will not be able to toss or be too lazy to toss.
Since God has made him sick at this age, I am afraid that this heavy responsibility will be handed over to him.
Cai Lei didn't have expectations at the beginning, hoping that he would be able to overcome this disease, but he hoped that he could do more before he fell, even if it was just a little bit of pushing forward.
What worries him the most now is that if he is no longer there one day in the future, who will this baton be handed over?
No matter what way they are, they are doing their best within their means.
We can not understand, but please respect the choices of others.
