Chen Yurong, 55, an average woman in Wuhan, Hubei province, who was diagnosed with a fatty liver (肝),
walked 10 kilometers a day for seven months, despite wind and rain, so she could donate part of a healthy liver
to her son. After wearing out four pairs of shoes and losing eight kilograms, her fatty liver condition disappeared.
One doctor called it a "miracle" (奇迹).
Her 31-year-old son, Ye Haibin, suffered from severe Wilson's disease, a rare disorder that causes body to
keep copper. Doctors said only a liver transplant could lengthen his life. Despite her age and the knowledge that
about one in 1 000 liver donators die after the transplant, Chen said she did not hesitate to donate part of her liver.
"In order to give my young granddaughter a complete family, I'd like to do everything to save my son,
including doing exercise and eating less", Chen said.
The transplant was performed on November 3, 2009. The surgery lasted more than 14 hours and saved her
son from life threatening liver disease. State-owned CCTV broadcast the transplant live and she has been widely
praised in China.

However, the 55-year-old mother said she never expected such attention, which
did bring her hope and help from many others-even strangers. Despite giving up part
of her liver, Chen, like before, gets up at 6 am to help her son wash and take his
medicine. Moved by Chen Yurong's love for her son and her determination and effort,
the hospital paid the entire medical bill, which would have added up to 600 000 yuan
(US $85 715).
The great mother, Chen Yurong was honored as the most touching figure in China
for 2009. |
