On the somewhat desolate roadside in Pioneer Village, two busybodies were whispering to each other, talking about a tragedy that happened not long ago - a man who often strolled here was accidentally hit and killed by a motorcycle. They talked a lot, and their words revealed their uneasiness and fear about that road.
But at this moment, a woman hurried past them, without any fear on her face. who is she? Why on this night, walking alone on this road that everyone avoids?
She thought silently in her heart: "I have nothing to fear. What could be more heartbreaking than losing a loved one in the world?" As her thoughts surged, she resolutely pushed open the rusty iron door and stepped on dykes.
Although her steps were small, they were extremely frequent, as if she was chasing something, or running away from something. Under the light of Tianxingzhou Bridge, her thin body looked even more lonely and helpless, and her shadow stretched long on the ground, just like the sadness in her heart.
The villagers were puzzled. What happened to this woman? Why did she choose to take such a path at such a moment? And what kind of child did she lose?
From hope to despair, and then to the dawn of disease resistance
Ye Haibin, how much expectations he placed on his parents. Since childhood, this child has been more delicate than other children, and he often catches colds and coughs. Both his parents thought that he was just in poor physical condition and that he would be fine if he ate more and exercised more. But who would have thought that there was a big "thunder" hidden behind this.
When he was 13 years old, Ye Haibin suddenly seemed to be a different person. He stuttered so much that it was hard to understand, and he swayed when he walked as if he was drunk. When mother Chen Yurong saw it, she felt anxious and rushed to the hospital with her son.
When the test results came out, Chen Yurong almost fainted: Ye Haibin had "hepatolenticular degeneration". What kind of disease is this? Never heard of it! The doctor explained that this disease causes copper to accumulate in the body, eventually destroying the central nervous system. Heck, this is no joke!
The doctor's words hit Chen Yurong's heart like a hammer: If the disease is not cured, Ye Haibin's life will be in danger. But, how to treat it? The doctor said that there is no specific medicine at present, so he can only rely on expensive imported medicines. This costs a lot of money!
Chen Yurong and Ye Guoxiang discussed and decided to cure their son's disease no matter how much it cost. So Chen Yurong quit her stable job and worked as an accountant in a private company. Although it is tiring, the salary has doubled and it is worth it! Ye Guoxiang also worked part-time on an oil tanker. The couple was busy every day just to earn more money to buy medicine for their son.
With their efforts, Ye Haibin's condition was finally stabilized. Seeing their son getting better day by day, Chen Yurong and Ye Guoxiang felt so beautiful in their hearts that all their efforts were worth it. They even began to dream about their son's better life after recovery.
However, one day in 2005, a piece of bad news came like a bolt from the blue: Ye Haibin's condition deteriorated sharply! This frightened Chen Yurong and Ye Guoxiang. They didn't know what to do and felt like the sky was falling.
Mother's love is like a mountain: Chen Yurong's difficult journey to save her son
On an ordinary day, Ye Haibin suddenly coughed up blood violently at home. This scene was as frightening as a bolt from the blue. After being rushed to the hospital urgently, the result was even worse - liver failure was severe, and the liver must be replaced as soon as possible, otherwise his life would be in danger.
"More than three hundred thousand?" When Chen Yurong heard the cost of allogeneic liver transplantation, she suddenly felt dizzy. This number is undoubtedly an astronomical figure for the Chen family. More importantly, where is the suitable source of liver?
Faced with the cruel reality, Chen Yurong could only choose conservative treatment. She carefully cared for Ye Haibin's body like a flower. A few years later, Ye Haibin's condition miraculously stabilized and he even got married and had children. The fire of hope rekindled in Chen Yurong's heart, and she thought her son had finally escaped the clutches of death.
However, fate once again played a joke on the mother and son. In 2008, Ye Haibin suddenly collapsed while working in the field and was rushed to the hospital. The doctor's words were like a sharp knife piercing Chen Yurong's heart: "The liver function has seriously failed, and a liver transplant must be performed immediately."
"I am his mother, and my liver must match!" Chen Yurong burst into tears, and she decided Donated his liver to save his son. However, fate played tricks on her again - she suffered from severe fatty liver and was unable to become a qualified liver donor.
The doctor's words were like a basin of cold water that extinguished Chen Yurong's last hope: "Your liver condition cannot be transplanted." She was in so much pain that she knelt on the ground and cried out about her son's misfortune. The doctors were also moved by the mother's affection, and they held a private meeting to study whether there were other options to try.
Just when Chen Yurong was about to fall into despair, a glimmer of hope rekindled the fire in her heart. The doctor told her that through proper diet and weight loss, it was possible to improve the condition of fatty liver.
For the sake of her son, Chen Yurong decided to give it a try. She began an arduous journey to lose weight, and no matter how difficult it was, she gritted her teeth and persevered.
Miracle on the Riverbank Embankment: A Mother’s Rampage to Save Her Son
The bell just rang at five o’clock in the morning. When most people were still immersed in sleep, 55-year-old Chen Yurong had already put on her sneakers and was ready to go. She began her daily "required course" - running rampant on the embankment of the river bank. This dark embankment seemed to be a battlefield where she was fighting fate, and she was the only warrior in this battle.
Why did she choose this method? It turned out that Chen Yurong's son Ye Haibin was seriously ill and needed a liver transplant. However, Chen Yurong's own fatty liver became an obstacle to surgery. In order to save her son, she made up her mind to eliminate fatty liver by going on a rampage and dieting.
Every day, Chen Yurong walks 10 kilometers on this dark and silent embankment, going back and forth. Her figure looked particularly lonely under the dim street light, but her steps were extremely firm. The soles of pairs of sneakers are constantly worn and replaced, recording her fight against fate.
In terms of diet, Chen Yurong strictly controls it. Every day, she only eats a fist-sized rice ball and a bowl of light vegetable soup. This kind of food is simply a drop in the bucket for a person who exercises a lot. But Chen Yurong persisted with her firm belief and the power of maternal love.
After seven months of fasting and dieting, Chen Yurong's weight dropped from 132 pounds to 120 pounds, and her fatty liver miraculously healed. On November 3, 2009, she finally had the long-awaited surgery. The moment she was pushed into the operating room, her heart was filled with hope and expectation.
The operation went very smoothly. Chen Yurong transplanted 55% of her liver to her son Ye Haibin. After the operation, the mother and son were successfully out of danger.
When Ye Haibin's physical condition gradually improved, Chen Yurong finally breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that her efforts and persistence were not in vain, and her son was finally saved.
Mother's love is like a mountain: life and death struggle and eternal hope
Chen Yurong used her perseverance and love to write a story that moved the world and became one of the top ten people who "moved China" in 2009.
Her story is as fascinating as a movie with ups and downs. In that life-and-death struggle that lasted for two years, she did whatever it took for her son's life, and finally gained her son's new life. This maternal love is so great, so deep, it makes people cry.
And her story has also been adapted into a public welfare movie "Runaway Mom". After the movie was released in 2012, it received rave reviews. The audience was moved by her maternal love and impressed by her strength. At the movie premiere, Chen Yurong was so excited that she was speechless. She never imagined that her story could infect so many people and touch so many hearts.
As time goes by, Chen Yurong's life gradually returns to peace.His son Ye Haibin's condition was stable for a time, his work and life were regular, and he even started a family. Chen Yurong finally lived the peaceful life she dreamed of, and occasionally did some volunteer services in the community to help those in need.
However, fate did not seem to favor this great mother. In 2022, bad news came - Ye Haibin's liver cirrhosis worsened and he had to undergo another liver transplant. Otherwise, his survival may not exceed 1 year. This news was like a bolt from the blue, making Chen Yurong fall into despair again.
She couldn't accept the fact that her son was still so young and couldn't die like this. She insisted on donating her liver again, but the doctor told her that she was too old to have a large liver removed again. This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to her, but she did not give up.
During the long wait for a suitable liver source, Chen Yurong's heart was full of suffering and helplessness. She prays every day that her son can survive this. Finally, with the efforts of doctors and the help of all walks of life, an enthusiastic person donated his liver.
The operation went very smoothly, and Ye Haibin successfully received a liver transplant. Chen Yurong was also silently cheering him on, her heart full of gratitude and joy. After the successful operation, all indicators were within the normal range, which finally made Chen Yurong relieved.
After being discharged from the hospital, Chen Yurong expressed her gratitude to reporters. She said: "If I had to choose again in the next life, I would still be Ye Haibin's mother, and I would save him again." This sentence made people cry and made people feel the greatness and selflessness of maternal love.
At this time, Chen Yurong was already old, with gray hair and wrinkles on her face. But her eyes are still firm and full of love. Her motherly love has never grown old and always shines on her son's life.
This time, it was the love from all walks of life that gave Ye Haibin a new life and made Chen Yurong feel the warmth and true love of the world again.
After rebirth, the track of love still stretches.
Time flies by, and in the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed since the story of "Rogue Mother" Chen Yurong, who cut her liver to save her son, which made countless people tremble. Now, her son Ye Haibin is like a tree that has grown stronger after going through wind and rain. Not only has he gained a firm foothold, but he has also begun to protect the next generation.
You see, 67-year-old Chen Yurong is no longer the mother who ran away desperately for her son, but her figure is still active. In the park in the early morning, people can always see her light steps, but now, her face is more calm and calm. She planted vegetables and flowers in her small yard at home. She said that this was the best feedback that life had given her.
And what about Ye Haibin? He also lived up to his mother's expectations. As his health gradually recovered, he not only opened his own small supermarket, but also started a family and had his own children. Whenever he mentioned his mother, his eyes always shone with gratitude and love. He said: "My mother gave me a second life, and I will pass this love on to my family and future generations."
Having experienced the struggle on the edge of life and death, Ye Haibin cherishes every day now even more. Like his mother Chen Yurong, he has learned to live in the present and enjoy every minute and second of life. They know that the value of life lies in feeling the warmth and love of family members.
Today, Chen Yurong no longer wants to be in the spotlight. She said that her biggest wish now is to be with her family, have a reunion dinner and have a good sleep. Among the neighbors, she shared her cooking experience and delicious food, and everyone affectionately called her a "gourmet".
This ordinary mother created the miracle of life with her perseverance and love. Not only did she give her son a second life, she also taught us all that the greatness of maternal love lies in selfless dedication and persistence. Chen Yurong, this mother deserves our respect and blessings. May her life in her later years be as she wishes, and she may share the joy of family life with her family until she grows old.
