Recently, news of the death of celebrities has come out one after another. In just one week, 30-year-old Korean star Park Boram passed away during a dinner party, 38-year-old comedian Chen Junbo passed away due to cold shock, and Internet celebrity Feifei passed away due to heart disease. Their departures have triggered Many netizens lamented, and the unexpected death of 38-year-old Korean star Zhu Shanyu made people even more sad.
According to Korean media reports, on April 18, 2024, the father of Korean actor Zhu Shanyu announced the death of his daughter, revealing that Zhu Shanyu had long been brain dead.
For most Chinese audiences, the name Zhu Shanyu is unfamiliar. Her main job is actually a drama actress. She has never come to China to develop. She has only made guest appearances in a few Korean dramas and movies. She can’t even be found in the cast list. Her name was mentioned, but Zhu Shanyu's death was intensively reported by Korean media, including Chinese media. It was not because the cause of Zhu Shanyu's death was strange, but because she was an organ donor.
Professional organizations revealed Zhu Shanyu’s process from brain death to confirmation of organ donation. In April 2024, Zhu Shanyu suddenly fainted while rehearsing for a drama. He did not regain consciousness after being sent to the hospital, and fell directly into a state of brain death. According to the doctor’s diagnosis , Zhu Shanyu’s chance of recovery is very low.
Zhu Shanyu’s family went through many days of struggle. On the fifth day after Zhu Shanyu was confirmed to be brain dead, they chose to let go. Zhu Shanyu signed an organ donation consent form before her death. Her family also hoped that Zhu Shanyu could be saved through organ donation. Shan Yu lives.
In the end, Zhu Shanyu donated her heart, lungs, liver and left and right kidneys. It is expected that the lives of 7 people can be reborn. Currently, three people have undergone surgery and been saved.
In addition to the four major organs, Zhu Shanyu also donated his own cornea, and the transplant recipient is also waiting for surgery - soon, because of Zhu Shanyu, someone in this world will see the light again.
In fact, before Zhu Shanyu, there was a celebrity in domestic entertainment who donated his cornea, and it was the singer Yao Beina who died of cancer in 2015.
A program followed the follow-up of Yao Beina's cornea donation. At least two patients recovered their vision through Yao Beina's cornea implants. One of the patients' mother was moved by Yao Beina and became an organ donor.
At the end of the program, Yao Beina's figure and the patient who successfully underwent surgery appeared alternately, and the sun shone on their faces, which made them particularly touched.
Counting back in time, there is another star whose choice is even more admirable. In 2012, actress Bai Han, who had appeared in dramas such as "The Beautiful Era" and "The Big Era", died of illness at the age of 56. Suffering from tumors, Bai Han decided to donate his body for medical research.
Teacher Bai Han’s last words were very simple. She hoped that she could do something within her power and that fewer and fewer people would suffer from this disease. She also didn't want to hold a farewell ceremony, hoping to leave a good impression on everyone.
Although there is no specific organ donation, netizens who are familiar with the medical profession should be aware of how valuable Teacher Bai Han's decision to donate his body is.
Finally, let’s briefly take a look at the stars in the entertainment industry who have signed consent forms for organ donation.
——Hong Kong star Julian Cheung not only registered for organ donation, but also registered for bone marrow donation. His wife Anita Yuen chose to keep pace with her husband.
——Miriam Yeung, who once worked as a nurse, has been committed to promoting organ donation and will sign a consent form every time she shoots a promotional video.
- Leo Ku even signed an organ donation card early and expressed many times that he wanted to leave love in the world.
Of course, the above list is not comprehensive. There may be celebrities who signed the consent form silently and did not make it public. I would also like to thank everyone who chose to donate after their death.
