A Chinese father digs grave for living two-year-old daughter, what happened next?
In 2017, Zhang Liang, a resident of a remote village in Sichuan province, China, learned that his two-year-old daughter was suffering from severe thalassemia. To save her life, she needed a stem cell transplant, which cost about one million yuan.
Zhang Liang and his wife spent all the family savings, but they still could not afford the medical expenses. In despair, Zhang Liang dug a grave for his daughter with his own hands. He said, “If one day my daughter leaves this world, let her know death in advance.”
He spent time with his daughter next to that grave every day; playing, talking, and even sleeping there.
One day, a video of that scene went viral on the Internet. Millions of people became emotional after watching it. Chinese crowdfunding platforms covered the entire cost of the treatment in less than a month.
On the advice of doctors, the Zhang Liang couple later gave birth to another daughter. The elder sister's life was saved with the cord blood of the younger sister. Later, a businessman also covered all their post-treatment expenses.
Finally, the elder daughter recovered and returned home from the hospital. Zhang Liang then filled the grave he had dug for his daughter with soil and sprinkled sunflower seeds on it.
