Cui's mother is disabled, and his father lives in the county.Wuyi, Henan Province earns only 1,000 yuan a month as a cleaner. The girl23 years old, quit her job as a kindergarten teacher after her sister's first round of chemotherapy to take care of her in the hospital.
Due to her difficult circumstances, Cui went online to raise money for her sister's medical treatment. The money she received was not enough, so she joked in the media that she would get married if it would help her sister's treatment.
"At first, I didn't want people to see how miserable my family was. I said that because I was struggling to raise money. Honestly, for my sister, I will do everything I can," Cui shared.
The hospital has not yet found a suitable bone marrow donor to perform surgery on Cui, but she said she would donate bone marrow if possible.
