According to Deng Min, Lei’s mother, the doctors have said that there is still a chance for the little girl to survive if the family can provide stem cells for her treatment. However, neither the father nor the mother is a match for the stem cells, so the couple decided to have another child in the hope of finding compatible stem cells for Lei’s treatment. Deng Min is expected to give birth to their second child on July 7th.
However, even if they find a matching stem cell, the cost for preserving and transplanting the stem cells for Lei is 12,000 yuan (approximately 40 million VND), while the family no longer has any money to continue the treatment.
Overwhelmed with despair and heartbroken for his daughter, Liyong decided to dig his daughter’s grave himself so that she could gradually become accustomed to the cold, underground life.
The image of Liyong lying in the grave he just dug with his daughter, along with the touching story of this family, went viral on Chinese social media. The story of the Zhang family was shared widely, and many netizens in China called for support to help cover the treatment costs for little Zhang Lei.
After reading the story of Zhang Liyong and his daughter, many netizens admitted they were moved to tears by the bond between father and daughter. Many people said they felt more love for their own fathers and children after reading the story.
