At 17:58 on October 7, Wu Shuliang, who has been tracking and serving by the Sleeping Castle Volunteer Team, finally closed his strong eyes after fighting lung cancer for 35 months. Then, according to his last wish, the doctor of Shenzhen Eye Hospital took away his cornea, and the service time of the Shenzhen volunteer with the number of 0700320253 remained at 102 hours forever. On October 9, Wu Shuliang's memorial ceremony was held at the Shenzhen Funeral Home. Hundreds of volunteers including Wu Shuliang's relatives and friends, Gao Zhengrong, president of the Shenzhen Life Care Association, Zhan Xiaoming, director of the Longxin Police Station of Wu Shuliang's unit, and Zhu Guicai, chairman of the Longgang District Writers Association, saw off the strong man together.
A composition by his son caused many concerns
Wu Shuliang is no stranger to many people. Two years ago, on June 1, 2013, the Shenzhen Evening News reported Wu Shuliang and his clever son Wu Tong with "the best thing in the world for my father to live". Wu Shuliang, who was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer in November 2012, won the attention of all parties because of his son Wu Tong's article "My Chinese Dream". Under the appeal of a series of news reports, Wu Shuliang's "label" is a cancer patient who has been helped by many caring units and people. He is also a person who can do volunteer work and do charity to repay the society.
At the same time of the race with the god of death, Wu Shuliang registered as a volunteer in December 2013 with the volunteer number of 0700320253. Du Benqiang, a five-star volunteer who has been in close contact with Wu Shuliang, said that Wu Shuliang and his son Wu Tong went to work with more than 80 members of the Sleeping Castle Volunteer Team in Longgang Long-distance Bus Station and Longgang Street U Station to guide and carry bags for foreign builders. In terms of volunteer service time, Du Benqiang found that Wu Shuliang had worked as a volunteer for 102 hours and Wu Tong for 47 hours.
Since August 20, 2013, Wu Shuliang has been eligible to provide painkillers with a monthly value of 5000 yuan for free. This is a cooperative project between Li Ka-shing Foundation and Shenzhen People's Hospital. Obtaining this qualification also means that the hospital has determined that he has only a survival period of 3 to 6 months. This drug, which he received for 25 months, is a "miracle" among cancer patients in Shenzhen People's Hospital. He once said, "My life is not only my own, but also the future of my wife and children. I dare not die." He set survival goals for himself step by step, scrambled for time with cancer, and also tried to repay the society with his meager strength.
Donate cornea after death to repay the society and hope that the wife and children will stay in Shenzhen
Ding Weiqing, Wu Shuliang's wife, recalled that Wu Shuliang had been admitted to Shenzhen Second People's Hospital and Longgang Central Hospital due to constipation and lumbar vertebra problems this year, but his body was getting worse and thinner. "In August, his weight had dropped from the peak of 190 kg to less than 100 kg. He was in a wheelchair, and I pushed him downstairs to bask in the sun. He would also chat with me and recall the happy things before." Later, Wu Shuliang had been stuck with various tubes, unable to get out of bed, and the time of falling asleep increased.
Ding Weiqing, who worked as a conductor at Longgang Long-distance Bus Station, took a three-month holiday to accompany her husband with the company. After the holiday ended on September 1, she began to work again, stayed at the company for 8 hours, and took care of her in the hospital at other times. The Longgang Service Team of the Municipal Life Care Association, where Du Benqiang worked, often went to the hospital to help.
One day in the middle of September, Ding Weiqing received a text message from Wu Shuliang, "He said, I'm afraid my days are numbered. You should take care of your children, stay in Shenzhen, and be strong. You should know how I hate you and your children, and I love you I wrote and said "I love you". After crying, she pretended to be calm and returned a message to Wu Shuliang: "Don't talk nonsense, I will leave work immediately, and I will see you soon." Then, she asked the leader for a long leave again, and rushed to the hospital to accompany Wu Shuliang.
Ding Weiqing said that a long time ago, Wu Shuliang said that for cancer patients, only the cornea, a useful organ, can be left to others. There are so many people in the society who care about him and help him. He can't do volunteer work. He can only use cornea donation to repay the society. Three days before his death, Wu Shuliang pointed to his eyes again with both hands. Ding Weiqing put his ear close to his mouth and heard him say, "Cornea.". Ask him, do you want to donate cornea? He nodded hard.
In the afternoon of October 7, Wu Shuliang's body indicators fell, and then he closed his eyes forever at 17:58. Ding Weiqing and the volunteers of the Longgang Service Team of the Municipal Life Care Association who had been caring for Lao Wu then contacted Gao Min, the organ donation coordinator. Then the medical students of Shenzhen Eye Hospital came to take Wu Shuliang's cornea from the morgue of Longgang Central Hospital and bowed deeply to him. On the evening of the 9th, Director Guo, a doctor of Shenzhen Eye Hospital, said that after testing, the cornea donated by Wu Shuliang was intact, and was transplanted to two patients on October 10, so that they could see the light again.
