China News Service, Zhengzhou, December 9th (Li Mingming and Han Zhangyun) "Mom, I hope your great love will continue." On the 8th, Xiaobian (a pseudonym), a resident of Anyang City, Henan Province, said when signing the deceased mother's organ donation materials. It is also her wish to allow her mother to "live" in this world in another way.

  On December 8, Ms. Chen from Anyang City, Henan Province suffered a sudden brain death and her family reluctantly decided to donate organs, which will bring "new life" to 5 patients.

  "Thank you for your contribution to the cause of human organ donation!" said the relevant person in charge of Zhengzhou People's Hospital. In my country, there are about 300,000 critically ill patients who need organ transplants each year, but the number of organ donations is very rare.

  Strong life: mother and daughter depend on each other

  The donor, Ms. Chen, is 63 years old and is a retired employee of a unit in Anyang City, Henan Province.

  Ms. Chen had an eldest daughter, but the child died of a serious illness when she was a teenager.

When Ms. Chen was 44 years old, she gave birth to her youngest daughter Xiaobian.

When Xiaobian was 12 years old, Ms. Chen's lover had a cerebral infarction again, and unfortunately passed away after three years in bed.

  The peaceful life of Ms. Chen and Xiaobian depended on each other for only a few years. In 2018, Ms. Chen suffered a cerebral infarction and began to be hospitalized regularly.

After the cerebral infarction, Ms. Chen paid great attention to her body and had been actively exercising, and her daily life was not affected.

  "Doom" came again.

On November 26, 2020, Ms. Chen suffered a sudden cerebral hemorrhage in a coma.

Xiaobian choked up and wept and said: "When I arrived at the hospital, my mother had already been sent to the ICU. The doctor said that the condition was not very good, so I was psychologically prepared. I was very broken down at the time and could not accept it."

  After rescue, Ms. Chen was diagnosed as "brain dead" due to acute illness, brainstem hemorrhage, high blood pressure and other problems.

 Wish in life: organ donation

  "My mother once said that organ donors are great, and I want to donate organs when I die." Xiaobian said sadly and sadly: "I am a medical student. Knowing that brain death means that my mother can't be saved, it's better to change it. Letting her mother help other people continue their lives is also her'wish before death'."

  In addition to grief, Xiaobian and other family members made an admirable decision to donate Ms. Chen's organs to help others regain their "new life".

  On November 27, Ms. Chen was transferred from the local hospital to the Department of Critical Care Medicine, Zhengzhou People's Hospital.

After two rounds of examinations by the hospital's neurosurgery and neurology experts, Ms. Chen was confirmed to be brain dead and meets the conditions for organ donation.

Will bring "new life" to 5 people

  On the afternoon of December 7, Ms. Chen's daughter Xiaobian signed the organ donation registration form. The signing site moved everyone and lamented "the greatness of maternal love."

  After evaluation of relevant medical indicators, Ms. Chen's kidney, liver, and cornea meet the donation criteria, and she will bring new life to 5 patients.

  On the morning of December 8, Ms. Chen was transferred from the ICU ward to the operating room. Before the organ harvesting operation, the medical staff held a farewell ceremony for her.

  Duan Jingna, Minister of the Propaganda Department of the Zhengzhou Red Cross Society, said: “The organ donated by Ms. Chen will be donated to patients in need according to the Chinese human organ distribution system. Thanks to Ms. Chen and her family for their great love, because of them, more families will regain newborn."

  According to statistics, up to now, Zhengzhou City, Henan Province has completed 899 post-death organ donations, saving the lives of nearly 3,000 patients with organ failure, realizing 139 pairs of corneal donations, and bringing 278 eye disease patients back to light.
