On the early morning of August 5, a 67-year-old farmer Yang Changqing and his wife from the total mouth farm in Qianjiang City were involved in a car accident and died without rescue. After the tragedy, their sons Yang Ping, Yang Fan, and Yang Lin endured their grief and donated their father's liver and kidney for free, saving the lives of three patients in Hubei, Henan and Guangdong.
Yesterday, the three Yang brothers were still immersed in the grief of the death of their parents. When interviewed by a reporter from Chutian Metropolis Daily, they said: "Parents have been hardworking, kind and helpful throughout their lives. They often educate their children and grandchildren to do this during their lifetime. If they are spiritual in the sky, they will agree with our approach."
Encountered a car accident
"Hurry home, your parents were hit by a car!" At 7 o'clock in the morning on August 5, Yang Ping, who was handling shrimp seedlings in the rice field, received a call. He quickly got on his motorcycle and drove home.
Yang Ping is 40 years old this year. He has twin brothers, Yang Fan and Yang Lin, 38 years old this year. The three brothers are all local farmers, and they are all married, each with two children, the oldest is in middle school, and the youngest is still learning Chinese. Their parents Yang Changqing and Chen Xiangfeng work in Zongkou Farm all year round. Yang Changqing is 67 years old and has served as a production team leader.
The first to rush home was Yang Lin. He saw that his parents were lying on the front of a heavy-duty semi-trailer on the road tens of meters away from his home, unconscious; the motorcycle they were riding was hit and parts were scattered on the ground. The
ambulance galloped all the way and took the two elderly people to Qianjiang Central Hospital. They were all seriously injured. The doctor failed to save Chen Xiangfeng's life after more than three hours of first aid; Yang Changqing was admitted to the intensive care unit.
Faced with the sudden disaster, Yang Ping cried bitterly. After the summer, due to a lot of farming, he went to work in the fields early every day, while his parents helped with grocery shopping and cooking. Neighbors said that when the car accident happened, the two old men had just returned from the food market. According to the police who handled the accident, after preliminary judgment, the driver of the heavy-duty semi-trailer truck was speeding and took improper measures when encountering an emergency, which caused the accident and should bear full responsibility. The three brothers
donated organs for their father
after three days of treatment in the intensive care unit, Yang Changqing's condition did not improve. The attending physician talked to Yang Ping: "The elderly's health is not optimistic, and the possibility of rescue is unlikely. Your family members must be mentally prepared."
Yang Ping couldn't accept such a result, and asked repeatedly, but the answer was still the same. Dr.
also told Yang Ping that the old man Yang Changqing is in good physical condition and his internal organs are very healthy, almost equal to those in his forties, but his injury is too serious. According to the test, the elderly’s liver and kidneys are eligible for donation and can save the lives of three people. Please consider carefully. "Although my father is 67 years old, he has never stopped working, and his physical fitness is indeed relatively good. In recent years, he has opened up wasteland next to the village. He has three or four acres of land and grows some corn, peanuts, and soybeans." Yang Ping said. . If the father really can't save him, then donating his organs to save people is also a better choice in misfortune.
Soon, Yang Ping organized a family meeting. "According to the custom, people should keep their whole body when they leave. Will donating the father's organs invite gossip?" said the wife of the third brother Yang Lin.
But Yang Ping and his two younger brothers agree: donate his father's organs free of charge to help those in need. The uncles who rushed back from the field were also very open-minded and agreed with the decision of the three brothers. After
learned this information, the human organ donation coordinator of the Red Cross Society of Hubei Province rushed to Qianjiang and signed a donation agreement with the three brothers. "Your great charity has allowed life to continue." The coordinator said to the three brothers. All three operations were successful. After matching, one liver and two kidneys donated by Yang Changqing were assigned to three patients in Hubei, Henan, and Guangdong. "It is a very lucky thing to be able to wait for the source of the kidney. The day of the operation, I think it is the day of my rebirth." said Ms. Feng, a recipient from Hubei. On August 8, she successfully received a kidney transplant. Ms. Feng
is a patient with severe uremia. For a year, she suffered from dialysis three times a week. What's more difficult is that in the days of waiting for a suitable kidney source, there is often a feeling of despair that afflicts her deeply. "After the kidney transplant, my life is full of hope again." Ms. Feng said. Although the identity of the donor is not known, she and her familyAll very grateful. They said emotionally: "May the deceased rest in peace, and may the donor's family live a happy life." "Many kidney failure patients are waiting for a kidney transplant, otherwise they can only continue dialysis until the end of their lives." Hubei Provincial Red Cross work Staff Doctor Yao said. The three organs donated by Yang Changqing were all successful. According to the current feedback, the three transplant operations were all successful and the patient had no adverse reactions. After about a year, the quality of life of the three recipients will be greatly improved, and they can return to normal life and work.
A helpful family
"Parents have been hardworking and kind and helpful throughout their lives. They often educate their children and grandchildren to do this before they are alive. If they are spiritual in the sky, they will agree with our approach." Yang Lin told reporters yesterday.
Yang Lin still clearly remembers the scene of his father saving a man many years ago. On that day, his father took him to do farm work in the field, and villager Chen accidentally rushed into the fish pond with a walking tractor. After Yang Changqing found out, he rushed to the fish pond, jumped into the water, pulled away the tractor holding Chen, and then dragged Chen out of the muddy water. For many years, Chen has always said that if Yang Changqing hadn't rescued him in time, he might have been dead. Yang Fan, the second child of the
three brothers, worked at a construction site in Beijing all year round. After his parents suffered misfortune, he hurried home immediately. The person in charge of Yang Fan's construction company also drove from Beijing to visit Yang Fan and his family. "In recent years, Yang Fan has been leading shifts on construction sites. He would rather make less money by himself than treat the workers in the team." The person in charge said. In May of this year, a fire broke out at one of the company's construction sites, and the several-meter-high tempered glass exploded. Yang Fan rushed into the fire at a risk, snatched a large number of flammable items, and put out the fire together with his workers. "The three brothers of the Yang family are really good, the boss saved my life!" Master Tian, a villager over sixty years old, told reporters. One early morning in 2012, it was raining lightly. When he finished his farm work in the field, he fell into a drain on the side of the road when he rode a motorcycle home. It was Yang Ping who rescued him from the water. "Father used to say to us:'If you are a little bit humble, you won't suffer.'" Yang Ping said. Thinking of his father's teachings, he burst into tears. According to Huang Changhong, the branch secretary of the Nandong Hong Office of the
General Management District, Yang Changqing is the first local person to donate organs without compensation. The actions of the Yang family's three brothers moved the villagers a lot, and everyone praised the Yang family's kind deeds.
