Father Takes His Sick Daughter To Her Future Grave

Father takes sick daughter to her future grave to make her unafraid



At solely two months outdated, little Xin Lei was recognized with thalassemia. This situation is an inherited blood dysfunction whereby the affected person has little or no or no hemoglobin, the protein in pink blood cells that carries oxygen.



Desperate and devoted parents, Zhang Li Young and his wife Deng Min, already spent all their savings for Xin Lei’s treatment but it has come to the point that they can no longer afford her medical bills.



“We borrowed money from many, but they are no longer willing to lend us more.”



Deng Min, who was then pregnant with their second child, hoped that the new child’s umbilical cord blood could treat Xin Lei’s condition. However, they realized that they would not be able to afford the treatment as it would cost hundreds of thousands of Yuan and would put them under greater financial strain.



Xin Lei’s mom mention:



“We have been driven into a corner. There is no other option.”



The couple then gave up Xin Lei’s medication and eventually “prepared” her for her death. Zhang then dug her grave and takes his daughter there everyday so that she will not be scared when it’s her time to say goodbye.



“I could only come up with this idea, bringing her to play at this place. This is where she will rest in peace. All I can do is accompanying her every day.”



Pear Video, a video streaming application, then documented the father and daughter playing in the grave. It instantly captured social media users’ attention and garnered over 16,000,000 views online.



Reports also stated that the family set up a fundraising campaign on the GoFundMe website for Xin Lei’s treatment and has reportedly raised over $ 20,000. No further updates have been reported yet. Moreover, the campaign is already closed.
