4 NA TAONG GULANG NA LALAKI SINABI SA KANYANG NANAY NA ILIBING NALANG SIYA DAHIL HINDI NIYA NA KAYA ANG SOBRANG SAKIT NA NARARAMDAMAN!

At a young age, this 4-year-old terminally ill child from China is already experiencing the burden of a grown-up man. Would you believe that a child so young is already prepared to die? What powerful feeling could compel a child to willingly give up his life and die? Du Sihan is unlike any children. A normal kid his age should be out on the streets playing. However, Du Sihan spends his entire time bedridden at the hospital. When he was younger, he was diagnosed with a rare blood disorder known as thalassemia. This inherited blood disorder causes his body to produce anabnormal hemoglobin.

The 4-year-old was robbed of his childhood as he spends every single day in debilitating pain. Due to his condition, Du Sihan never finds enough energy to play like normal kids do. Instead, the 4-year-old feels weary and tired every day. Seeing their child’s suffering breaks the hearts of Du Sihan’s parents. There are days when the pain will be so unbearable that Du Sihan pleaded with his mother:

“Please bury me mommy, I cannot bear [sic] with this pain anymore.”
“Where do you want mom to bury you? Do you want to play hide and seek with me?”
“No, I want you to bury me in the ground.”

This plea is so disturbing, to say the least, especially coming from a child’s mouth. It just goes to show how much pain he’s going through to choose death over living. Soon enough, the story about Du Sihan’s struggle spread like wildfire online.

People online united to raise a staggering amount of $134,550 for the 4-year-old’s condition. Most of this large sum was spent on the expenses of Du Sihan’s bone marrow surgery. However, his health condition kept on declining after suffering from bacterial and bile infections. There came a point when the 4-year-old knew that he would soon depart this world. He remained brave and tough at the last moments as he mouthed his last words to his mother:

Losing her child is perhaps the darkest period in Du Sihan’s mother’s life. In spite of this, they found comfort in knowing that he was not suffering anymore. The mother was quoted as saying: “It is for the best, my boy left this world with a lot of pain but now is relieved of all the pain.”
