Doctors bowed to him before operating.

His name is Lu Jichun, a 51-year-old food delivery rider in Hangzhou, from Hunan. He has no father, mother, wife, or children. He only delivers food in Hangzhou with his three nephews.

At the end of last month, he had an accident while delivering food, resulting in brain death.

At the last moment, relatives made a difficult decision to donate all his "life-saving organs" - heart, liver, and kidneys.

His life began to extend among four strangers.

The Second Hospital of Zhejiang Medical University.

The operating room suddenly became quiet, except for the beeping sound of the vital signs monitor.

The shadowless lamp illuminates the face of 51-year-old Lu Jichun. It is dark and rough, with obvious color differences from his body, which are traces of sunlight and wind and frost.

He lay quietly, as if he was rushing to finish a day of takeout and needed a long rest.

This is the last story of his life, and we recorded it one by one.

Final Farewell The medical staff stood in two lines, bowed their heads and observed silence.

"Time of death, (August 7) ??8:56." Hu Yinghong, director of the Department of Neurosurgery of the Second Hospital of Zhejiang Medical University, announced.

Fresh and gentle hope will replace Lu Jichun and race against time.

The cornea was moved into the eye bank, and within a few intense hours, his organs were flowed to four patients in the next few operating rooms - a 61-year-old uremic patient whose creatinine had been elevated for 6 years and was undergoing hemodialysis.

2 years; a patient with renal insufficiency who started dialysis in November last year. He is only 32 years old; a 52-year-old aunt who has been suffering from hepatitis B and cirrhosis for more than ten years. She is suffering from ascites and edema of both lower limbs; a 61-year-old

The family originally planned to give up the heart transplant, but at 9 pm on the 6th, they finally decided to take a gamble. "Otherwise, my mother would only have a few months to live." Her daughter said with tears.

Before being pushed into the operating room, on the morning of the 7th, before 8 o'clock, more than 20 relatives came to say goodbye to Lu Jichun.

There was only a few minutes left to meet.

Some people were leaning against Lu Jichun's hospital bed and weeping; some people were calling out Lu's name softly, as if they were admonishing or confiding.

Several juniors gathered outside the ward to comfort several elderly people.

On the afternoon of the 7th, Lu Jichun’s body was cremated at the Hangzhou Funeral Home.

At midnight yesterday, the hearse carried his ashes and rushed to his hometown thousands of miles away - Pingcha Town, Hunan.

The gift of life. On the evening of July 23, during the evening rush hour, Lu Jichun, who was riding an electric scooter to the west in a hurry to deliver flowers and omelette rice, suddenly fell down alone on the eastbound motorway at the intersection of Wenyi West Road and Gudun Road and suffered a serious head injury.

Brain Injury.

In addition to three nephews and nieces who like Lu Jichun are delivering food in Hangzhou, more than 20 relatives came from their hometown in Hunan and other places.

The Lu family consulted brain surgery experts from multiple hospitals, but the final result was disappointing.

They went to see Lu Jichun every day, talked to him, touched him, and asked, "Why did this happen to you?" Tears fell on his arms.

From the doctor's words, the family members were persuaded to donate organs.

This term, which I had heard before, suddenly came to me like the sad news of Lu Jichun's death.

Generally speaking, brain-dead patients have higher organ quality than cardiac-dead patients.

Ling Hui, organ donation coordinator of the Zhejiang Provincial Red Cross Society and the Organ and Tissue Procurement Office of the Second Hospital of Zhejiang Medical University, said this is a gift of life.

Subconsciously, the sisters' hearts twitched. They didn't want Lu Jichun to suffer more in his last journey.

In 2018, China's organ donation rate for one million people reached 6.8%, which is 226 times that of 2010. However, due to technical barriers, traditional concepts, and talent gaps... demand still exceeds supply.

In a popular sense, people think that donation means nobility; but to a certain extent, nobility is also a "NIMBY effect": people will praise and admire them verbally, but make a dash in their hearts - it is better for others to complete this task.

Sublime.

In Ling Hui's past experience, failure and cold looks were the norm.

Relatives’ decision Lu Jichun’s life was put on the balance and re-evaluated.

At the age of 51, he has experienced the loss of his father and mother. He has not even been able to get married and is alone.

Because of the short years and long loneliness, people feel even more unwilling and worthless at this moment.

How does an ordinary person prove that he has lived in this world?

Very few people will write books and praise ordinary people.

The last thing an ordinary person leaves behind may be a tombstone, a child, and some photos.

Obviously, their names will eventually be erased, and it is very difficult to fight against forgetfulness.

Organ and tissue donation seems to be the best continuation now. "It's as if his eyes are still blinking and his heart is still beating," said fourth sister Lu Suzhen.

Even if you don’t know who it is or where you live.

Behind a receptor is a family.
