With tears streaming down her face, Ms. Thanh said: "When I heard from my family that my sister's chance of survival was only 1%, very fragile, I cried a lot because I felt sorry for her. I thought I had lost her. Luckily, she was transferred to a hospital, had emergency surgery in time, and was cared for by the hospital doctors, so she came back from the dead. The doctors not only saved my sister's life, but also saved the future of her 6 children...!"
