26-year-old leukemia rural female teacher, rural doctor net blind husband microblogging for help


Dong Xiaoxia's 26-year-old life is waiting for the miracle to happen. The female teacher was found to be suffering from leukemia after she fell on the podium. Her husband is a village doctor who does not understand computers at all. He has sent tens of thousands of help microblogs.

College student returning to the contemporary class teacher

Dong Xiaoxia was born in Pachuan Village, an inconspicuous small village on the edge of the Yellow River. It belongs to Jishishan County, Linxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture, Gansu Province. Because it is a national poverty-stricken county, even today, few people in the county can go to college, and there is no precedent in the village. In 2006, Dong Xiaoxia was admitted to the Yanqiao College of Lanzhou Business School.

Since childhood, Dong Xiaoxia likes the profession of teachers. Although she entered the accounting profession, she did not give up her dream of being a teacher. In college, she obtained a teacher qualification certificate. After graduating from college in July 2019, Dong Xiaoxia did not choose to stay in Lanzhou, but returned to his hometown and became a substitute teacher. Dong Xiaoxia came to a state-owned middle school in Dahejia Township, Jishishan County, to teach Chinese.

In the county, the class of Baoquan Middle School is famous for its difficult teaching. The Baozu people believe in Islam. Many parents send their children to the mosque from an early age. The foundation after school is very weak. Dong Xiaoxia lives in the dormitories of the school, and there is almost no holiday. In her spare time, she is always giving lessons to students.

Dong Xiaoxia’s Dahe hometown is more than 50 kilometers away from home. She lives in the school’s faculty dormitory and returns home for an average of half a month.

As a substitute teacher, Dong Xiaoxia can only get 450 yuan a month. During that time, she even rarely went out to buy things.

In June 2019, Dong Xiaoxia passed the rural teacher-directed examination organized by Gansu Province. Starting from 2019, Dong Xiaoxia became an official teacher, plus subsidies for ethnic minority areas, with a monthly salary of 2,500 yuan.

Get help from a good person after suffering from leukemia

Dong Xiaoxia and Yang Faping were married in February 2019. Yang Faping is a rural doctor in Dazhuang Village, Hulin Township, Jishishan County. He is a high school culture. "Take a cold and have a fever, and sell some medicines."

On the first weekend of September 2019, Dong Xiaoxia felt "dizzy, backache, back pain" after returning home. However, she refused her husband’s proposal to rest at home for two days: “I don’t dare to take time off, I’m afraid of mistaking the class.” She was pregnant for six months.

At noon two days later, Yang Faping received a phone call from a school colleague: "She can't faint, and she has to walk up the wall when she eats. Come and check it out!"

Yang Faping rushed to the school and went to the county people's hospital for an inspection. The doctor said that he was "anemia" and gave him 400 cc of blood. "It’s much better after losing the blood, and the head is not dizzy, the spirit. Then she said that she would go back to class, the course is very tight."

In the evening, Dong Xiaoxia returned to the dormitory and gave classes to students the following day. "At that time, no one thought of this disease, because leukemia was usually only seen on TV. I didn't know it at all, and I didn't dare to think. The old man in the village said that it was 'moving the tires', and raising it, I didn't pay much attention. Yang Feiping regrets very much.

On September 21, 2019, in an essay class in the morning, Dong Xiaoxia suddenly fainted on the podium. Several students quickly stepped forward to hold her, and Dong Xiaoxia could not speak.

Anxious Yang Faping rushed to the Linxia People's Hospital with his wife. The doctor quietly told Yang Faping: "This is not right." After various examinations, Dong Xiaoxia was diagnosed as "an acute non-lymphocytic leukemia M5 type".

For Yang Faping, this inspection report is tantamount to a blue sky. More tangled is that the wife who has been pregnant for 6 months has to undergo chemotherapy in order to cure the disease. But the doctor brought a bad message: in order to completely cure her illness, the child must be destroyed immediately. Although the mother who was pregnant for 7 months strongly disagreed, Dong Xiaoxia finally underwent labor induction. At this time, pregnancy has been 29 weeks, 7 months and 1 week.

After the hospitalization, Dong Xiaoxia’s teachers and students spontaneously advocated raising funds to 9,500 yuan, the Jishishan County Education Bureau donated 90,000 yuan, and the Civil Affairs Bureau also sent 10,000 yuan of condolences. For a poor county, this is extremely difficult.

For the huge medical expenses needed for treatment, the money is only a drop in the bucket. But honest Yang Faping refused to give up his wife. He ran through various social charities in Lanzhou. I heard that the Red Cross Foundation has a leukemia rescue project and went to the Red Foundation to ask for help. The staff was also very sympathetic, but told Yang Faping, "The Red Foundation has only rescue activities for children, but not for adults."

In order to raise money, Dong Xiaoxia’s mother went to Lanzhou to beg. "She can't speak Mandarin. Others can't understand it on the street. In a matter of three days, she has to pay more than 90 yuan. Her body is not good, and then she is anxious. I will persuade her to go home." Yang Faping said.

By February 14, 2019, Dong Xiaoxia had a total of 5 chemotherapy sessions, which cost 213,206.72 yuan, which is not the cost of hospitalization and the cost of purchasing serum albumin. Dong Xiaoxia participated in the new rural cooperative medical insurance, reimbursed more than 80,000 yuan in medicine costs, but "there are some imported medicines, as well as serum and the like can not be reimbursed. Basically relying on the help of good people to support."

"Net blind" husband sent 10,000 help microblogging

A teacher at Jishishan High School also heard about Dong Xiaoxia's condition and suggested that Yang Faping should go online to ask for help. "He told me that 'everyone who sent it all saw it,' but I don't know what Weibo is, and I have trouble asking someone to help me." Yang Faping helped him in the township hospital after graduating from high school. There is no computer at home. Weibo is a bit far away for him.

After waiting for half a month, Yang Faping found that "there was no effect at all." At this time, he only knew that there was a "authenticated user." Yang Faping decided to find those "authenticated users" for help. On Tencent Weibo, he kept commenting on the status of "authenticated users" and begged everyone to help forward them.

On February 7, 2019, Luo Weichuan, who was certified as the founder of Baichuan Public Welfare Volunteer Association, found Yang Faping. After verifying the information, he helped him forward the help information. "I am really grateful to him. He has a lot of people to follow after forwarding. I am especially grateful." Up to now, 7.53 million people have read and more than 30,000 people have forwarded them, including official microblogs such as the Gansu Provincial Education Department.

Shortly after these influential Weibos were forwarded, the Linxia State Education Bureau sent a 26,000 yuan condolences, and the Gansu Provincial Civil Affairs Department also donated 5,000 yuan.

In order to get more people's attention, Yang Faping picked up his mobile phone to brush Weibo when he was free. "My sister gave me a smart phone, I will use this to leave a message to all kinds of people, hoping to get more attention." A village doctor who has never heard of Weibo before, in just a few months, Weibo More than 12,000 articles were issued.

At present, Dong Xiaoxia's disease is a more difficult type of treatment in acute myeloid leukemia. The only possible cure is only allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. Generally, siblings are easier to match.

After the first chemotherapy, Yang Faping set out to contact Dong Xiaoxia's compatriots. On December 23, 2019, at the Lanzhou Military Region General Hospital, my sister was successful in matching, and my sister agreed to do a bone marrow transplant. The hospital "recommended bone marrow transplantation as soon as possible after 3-4 courses of chemotherapy."

But at present, the couples in the village are already running out of water.

Yang Faping told reporters that as of now, Dong Xiaoxia has spent 510,000 yuan on repeated chemotherapy. Apart from donations from all parties, they still have a debt of 170,000 yuan. Dong Xiaoxia's attending doctor Xue Feng introduced that the cost of surgery for bone marrow transplantation is about 15 to 200,000 yuan, depending on the type of matching, it may reach 30 to 450,000 yuan. This is not a late chemotherapy cost.

"Now it is maintained by chemotherapy, but her body is getting worse and worse, I am afraid I can't wait until that time." Yang Faping said anxiously.
