"Why didn't Mom ignore me?" "Why doesn't Mom play with me or hug me?" …… Recently, a video of a 4-year-old boy calling for his mother with terminal cancer made many netizens teary-eyed. In the video, the 28-year-old mother is skinny, although she can't respond, her eyes don't leave her son for a moment, and her eyes are full of reluctance and concern.
The publisher of this video @Yang先生 accompanies his wife to fight AI, is Yang Fan from the Laoying Village Committee of Wayao Town, Longyang District, Baoshan City, Yunnan Province, recently, Yang Fan expressed his gratitude to netizens who care about helping his wife through Yunnan.com, and also shared with you the experience of accompanying his wife to fight cancer with his family in the past year.
"She is often in a daze, looking at her son to fall asleep"
"In the past three days, she has basically been in a state of not eating, drinking, or sleeping, and she has been quietly in a daze at night, and she is not willing to close her eyes and sleep for a while until she holds her son to her side." When it came to his wife's condition, Yang Fan's words revealed a deep sense of powerlessness.
Maybe it was because he felt something, but his 4-year-old son seemed to become sensible in an instant, and he asked to be by his mother's side at night. "When he goes out to play for a while, he will run to his mother and talk to her, feed her water, feed her watermelon, and help her with a massage." What made Yang Fan feel worried was that no matter how weak she was before, his wife would respond with all her might, but she didn't respond when her son shouted a few times two days ago. The son had to ask the father on the side: "Why did Mom ignore me?" "Why doesn't Mom play with me?" …… Yang Fan didn't know how to answer, so he had to hold back his tears to comfort his son: "Mother won't ignore you if anyone ignores you." ”

If it weren't for the photos, it would be difficult for many people to combine the skinny mother tormented by illness in the video with the young and fashionable beauty-loving girl. The photo was taken by Yang Fan a year ago, and the girl in the photo is smiling like a flower, dressed fashionably, snuggling up to her husband, her face full of happiness. Such a calm and stable little happiness was ruthlessly broken in August last year.

"On August 1 last year, she suddenly fainted, at first thought it was cholecystitis, but during the operation, a lesion was found, and she was finally diagnosed with gallbladder cancer." Yang Fan recalled that he took his wife to the hospital in Kunming in one year, and underwent two surgeries and 13 chemotherapy treatments. There was no problem with the re-examination in February and May this year, I thought that the condition would develop for the better, and the family's life could get back on track, but I didn't expect that in July this year, my wife was admitted to the hospital for a re-examination due to pain, and the family once again ushered in a thunderbolt: after examination, the wife's entire abdominal cavity was metastasized.

"Along the way, I know how difficult it is for her to walk, but she never cries out in pain, and she is so strong that it makes people feel distressed." Looking back on this experience, Yang Fan choked up for a while, his wife was very beautiful before she fell ill, and she lost a lot of hair during the treatment, so she had to shave off her long hair, but in order not to make the people around her sad, she did not show any loss.
"Inch girl" is Yang Fan's nickname for his wife, after his wife fell ill, the "straight man" husband secretly hid and cried many times. Turning around to wipe away tears, he thought about how to make his wife's life as happy as possible. When he went out to buy medicine, he would bring a bouquet of flowers to his wife, and his haggard wife's face instantly revealed the happiness of a little girl.
"Mom, when I grow up, I'll buy you cosmetics and high heels." The 4-year-old son also spoils his mother in a different way. Every time he saw this scene, Yang Fan felt a burst of sadness in his heart, and held back his tears to take a video of his son, "I hope he can remember his mother's appearance in the future." ”
"As long as there is a glimmer of opportunity, I will not give up"
Before his wife fell ill, Yang Fan ran a mobile phone store in the town, and the family saved some savings. Since accompanying his wife to fight cancer, the high cost of medical treatment has overwhelmed this rural family. Because he accompanied his wife to see a doctor, Yang Fan had no time to take care of the mobile phone store, and the small store had been in a state of loss.
"It cost more than 500,000 yuan for the treatment, and it was basically borrowed." Yang Fan said that his parents turned out more than 100,000 yuan of the family's old capital and fully supported their daughter-in-law's treatment, and their sisters and relatives borrowed everything they could. The last time he went to the hospital in Kunming for treatment, Yang Fan sold his wedding ring with his wife before scraping together the money to return to his hometown. "In the end, I had to borrow money from the bank, and all kinds of credit cards I could use were used."
Over the past year, Yang Fan has been using videos to record his wife's anti-cancer process, which has attracted the attention of many netizens, and everyone hopes that Yang Fan will not stop changing, and also hopes that this young mother can accompany her children all the way to grow up. At the suggestion of a friend, Yang Fan sold some small goods on his video account to maintain his daily life.
After his wife's video swept the Internet, caring people reached out to help. "After many media paid attention to us, some of them made donations, and some cancer friends or family members enlightened me, which made me feel full of love." The encouragement of netizens also brought warmth to the desperate Yang Fan family, "No matter what the situation is in the future, we will persevere to the end, although this rugged and bumpy road is difficult to walk, but as long as there is a glimmer of opportunity, I will firmly seize it and will never give up." ”
