Her family visited multiple hospitals after she was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor earlier this year; but doctors said that her condition was too far progressed and she couldn't be saved. But was confined to a hospital bed after her head began swelling.
The parents decided they should discuss with their daughter the possibility of donating her organs.
"I didn't think she would quite understand the word 'donation' at first, I tried to explain that if we would give something from her body, she could save the lives of others. She agreed to this," her father, Liu Xiaobao, said.
She passed away on Tuesday after her physical condition deteriorated considerably. All five different patients awaiting organs, who had successful organs transplanted into them soon after her death are all in stable condition.
Rest in peace the young Hero.
