17409 He XX, 8th Grade, MaleTranslated by Sara Qiu |
In the second day after my grandfather left the hospital, I got hospitalized for 8-9 days due to high fever. Problems never come alone; in less than 10 days after I returned home, my grandmother fell ill. We brought her to the hospital but the doctor said he could not save her, so she sent her home. After taking care of her at home for 10 days, my grandmother unfortunately passed away, we were all very sad. My older uncle took care of my grandmother’s funeral affairs. After a hundred days from the event, my grandfather passed away too, emptying us out again. We owed a lot of money, all family was in the middle of desperation. In September last year, my only sister fell ill and received hospitalization. She could not be cured at the hospital of Lijiang, so she was transferred to Kunming. The doctor said she had leukaemia, needing 500,000 to 1,000,000 RMB. She could be saved,she could live a few more years. We haven’t returned all the money we borrowed, we don’t know where to get the money. We can only give up, given this astronomical number. My sister passed away from her way home. People in our village helped us arrange her funeral affairs. A happy family of 6 members turned into a family of 3. My own family one by one left me. I used to think of giving up this cruel world, but thinking of the laborious farm work my dad is doing, my heart ignited a flame of hope. I am a middle school student, a person on the verge of despair. I believe life will be better having Peach Foundation. |
