In June this year, on the advice of the doctor, Xingxing began to receive chemotherapy. "Not long ago, Xingxing survived his third round of chemotherapy. The doctor suggested that we conduct four rounds of chemotherapy before further diagnosis and treatment based on the situation. Now Xingxing's hair has almost fallen out," said Xingxing's mother Yu Qing (pseudonym).

From the day Xingxing was hospitalized, running between hospitals and units has become Yu Qing's normal life. In addition to Xingxing, this family also includes an ailing old man and a 9-month-old son. "My husband and I have a combined monthly income of only five to six thousand yuan. Our child's grandmother is not in good health and is still helping us take care of our little son."

In order to treat her daughter's illness, this not-so-rich woman has spent several months trying to treat her daughter. The family has exhausted all their savings. In the past few days, the whole family has been worrying about the bottomless pit of high medical expenses. The sick Xingxing seemed very sensible. She said: "They all comforted me and said it was just a minor problem, but I secretly heard that I was actually very seriously ill and it was very dangerous to have surgery. But I am not afraid of it." Surgery, because I was mentally prepared."

Xingxing has studied Latin dance for three years, and she feels doubly happy every time she stands on the stage. Some time after the second round of chemotherapy, at Xingxing's insistence, Yu Qing took Xingxing to participate in an audition for young actors in the crew. Xingxing also entered the re-examination, but could not continue to participate due to physical reasons. Although Xingxing was very sad to hear the news, she finally comforted Yu Qing: "If I go to participate, my illness will be more serious, so I won't go." She has an optimistic and strong side, but in her heart she also yearns to go back to school and get together with her teachers and classmates. Yu Qing said: "If she had not been sick, Xingxing would have been in fourth grade. We hope that she can enjoy a lot of happiness and have the right to choose like her peers."
