Arthritis killed the teenager. Dad took him home with tears and let the old man take one last look. what do you think?

As a public photographer, the most painful thing is to help a child. Before the pictures and words are sent out, the child is gone. This kind of pain is not because I took photos and wrote in vain, but because I feel sorry that I can't help my children. On October 25th, 65438 10, the photographer experienced such a thing. A rural boy in Rongshui County, Liuzhou, Guangxi, was admitted to ICU for more than three months because of arthritis. Although my father borrowed money to support his children, his heart stopped beating on June 24, 65438/kloc-0. Because the child has been wandering with the working father, after the grief, the child's father decided to take him home and let the old people at home have a last look. The picture shows Yu Yaoqiang, the father of a sad child.

The boy's name is Xiao Fei, 12 years old, and his father is Yu Yaoqiang, 43 years old. Yu Yaoqiang is a single father of two children. Yu Yaoqiang was born in an ordinary peasant family, and his parents have been farming all their lives. Because of family conditions, he began to go out to make a living in his teens, and because he had no professional skills, he could only engage in manual labor. In 2007, Yu Yaoqiang met his wife through the introduction of his cousin. In June of that year, he had his eldest son, Xiao Fei, and soon he had a second son. After having children, Yu Yaoqiang worked odd jobs for people around his hometown, while his wife took care of the children at home and lived a simple and happy life. The picture shows Xiao Fei in the intensive care unit.

However, since 20 15, a series of changes have made Yu Yaoqiang's family fragmented. Yu Yaoqiang's wife suffers from severe depression, and the relationship between husband and wife is not harmonious at ordinary times. I have never been home since I went back to my mother's house during the Spring Festival that year. Although they didn't go through the divorce formalities, in fact, Yu Yaoqiang's life is no different from divorce. Yu Yaoqiang said that his wife didn't want to go home, but her life had to go on. In order to give his sons a better life, he left his hometown and took his eldest son, Xiao Fei, to Changzhou to work in an electronics factory. The youngest son stayed in his hometown and was looked after by his parents, and it was so difficult to get through year after year. The picture shows Yu Yaoqiang's home.

Although the working income of the electronics factory is not high, it can barely maintain the daily expenses at home, and life is still stable. Unexpectedly, in 2020, this family was once again shrouded in nightmares. At the beginning of June, Yu Yaoqiang's eldest son, Xiao Fei, suddenly developed symptoms of fever and general pain. At that time, Yu Yaoqiang and his son stayed in Changzhou local hospital for more than ten days, with no result. Yu Yaoqiang realized that the situation was not good and quickly transferred his son to Shanghai Children's Hospital. The picture shows Xiao Fei in the intensive care unit.

On June 24th, Xiao Fei was diagnosed as juvenile idiopathic arthritis (systemic type) in Shanghai Children's Hospital. Yu Yaoqiang was relieved to hear that it was arthritis at first, thinking it was not a big problem, but the doctor's next words made his heart sink to the bottom again. The doctor explained to him that idiopathic arthritis is a rheumatic immune disease, often accompanied by systemic multi-system damage. Teenagers especially affect children's development, which may be disabled, serious or even life-threatening. The picture shows Yu Yaoqiang outside the ICU.

Xiao Fei's condition has reached a critical point, and he was sent to the intensive care unit the day after the examination. Yu Yaoqiang said that from the photos sent to him by the doctor, he was heartbroken to see his son with tubes all over his body. What Yu Yaoqiang can't accept is that his son usually has few minor problems such as fever and cold, but now he is transferred to the intensive care unit as soon as he enters the hospital because of arthritis. The picture shows Xiao Fei in the intensive care unit.

After more than ten days of rescue, the hospital saved Xiao Fei's life. In July, Yu Yaoqiang returned to Changzhou's rental house with discharged Xiao Fei. He thought he would get better gradually, but only one month later, an infection sent Xiao Fei to the jaws of death. Because the epidemic caused multiple organ failure, the treatment plan became more complicated. In addition to routine treatment in ICU, plasma exchange, chemotherapy, anti-infection and other treatments are needed. The picture shows Xiao Fei in the intensive care unit.

After Xiao Fei fell ill, he spent a lot of money. Yu Yaoqiang's family is already in trouble. His parents are over 60 years old now, and they still live in a mud house with Yu Yaoqiang and his younger brother. In order to treat their grandson, the two old people gave Yu Yaoqiang what little savings they had. My mother had an unexpected rib fracture this summer and has never been to the hospital. She said to Yu Yaoqiang, "What can I cure at my age? I can still bear the pain. Saving Xiao Fei's life is the right thing. " The picture shows Yu Yaoqiang's hometown.

Xiao Fei has been in the intensive care unit for nearly two months, and has already owed more than 200,000 yuan. Because of this multiple organ failure, his state is already very dangerous, and he usually stays in a coma for longer than he wakes up. The doctor also told Yu Yaoqiang that the child was seriously ill and his life was in danger at any time. Knowing what happened to the father and son, the photographer decided to help them and prepared to raise money for the father and son online. However, just as the pictures and words were ready and the fundraising platform was completed, the bad news came. The picture shows Xiao Fei in the intensive care unit.

654381On the morning of October 24th, the doctor told Yu Yaoqiang, who was waiting outside the intensive care unit, that the child's heartbeat had stopped. After learning the news, Yu Yaoqiang burst into tears. "I'm sorry, son, dad couldn't keep you." In the past few years, Yu Yaoqiang has been cooperating with Xiao Fei outside. Xiao Fei seldom sees his grandparents and younger brother. He has never met since his mother left, which makes Yu Yaoqiang feel very guilty. Finally, Yu Yaoqiang decided to take Xiao Fei home and let his grandparents see him for the last time. The picture shows a sad Yu Yaoqiang.

65438125 October, just as the photographer was preparing to send a message to help the child, he was shocked to learn that the child had stopped beating. In these years of public photography, I have encountered more than once the sudden departure of a child while helping him. Whenever this time, my heart hurts. However, there are still more children, because of their own help, out of the haze of the disease, and gradually recovered. Every time I see their smiling faces, I am always so gratified. Finally, I hope Xiao Fei in heaven will stop suffering.
