  Today’s unexpected harvest, I first paid 100,000 yuan in advance to solve (Yao Ce's treatment) urgent needs. This is the result of everyone’s joint efforts.

  [Explanation] It is understood that Yao Ce, a 28-year-old young man in Jiangxi, was diagnosed with liver cancer. His mother, Ms. Xu, decided to cut the liver and save her son. Unexpectedly, several inspections revealed that Yao Ce was not his biological son.

It was later confirmed that 28 years ago (1992), due to a work error in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Henan Kaifeng Medical College (now Huaihe Hospital of Henan University) that Ms. Xu gave birth in that year, two mothers held the wrong child.
