Social positive energy: A 64-year-old elderly person has advanced cancer. A friend went to a black family for help and had no money to undergo an excision surgery!
Uncle Xiao and Lao Lady Gao
The number of elderly people in my country has reached 220 million, accounting for 16.1% of the total population of my country, and the trend of population aging is still rising rapidly. With the implementation of my country's family planning policy, the traditional family structure in the past has undergone tremendous changes. The 4+2+2 family structure model has become the mainstream of today's society, that is, two only couples need to support four elderly people (parents of both parties) when they get married, and the arrival of the second child era requires raising two children. The two of them need to provide 6 people with living expenses and the burden of the house, which is even more stressful. Nowadays, the elderly and their children need their own private spaces, so the phenomenon of pure elderly families and elderly people living alone is becoming more and more common, and the living problems of elderly families have also attracted high attention from the society. Recently, an elderly man living alone in Taiwan went to the hospital for advanced cancer due to physical discomfort, but was penniless. The incident of seeking help on the Internet has attracted high attention from the society. The protagonist of the incident, surnamed Xiao, is from Taoyuan, Taiwan, and his relatives are all in the north. 5 or 6 years ago, in order to leave each other's "private space", Mr. Xiao resolutely went to the south to live alone, earning a meager income to make a living by relying on brick-moving coolies to make a living. He met Mrs. Gao by chance. Mrs. Gao sympathized with Mrs. Xiao alone in the south and had no relatives and no fixed place, so he gave his empty house to Mr. Xiao to live. Mrs. Xiao could only survive.
However, there were unexpected events in the day. Mr. Xiao started in March this year and felt a faint pain in his waist and even lost his job of moving bricks. Recently, his condition worsened in early May and could not walk. With the help of Mrs. Gao, he went to Annan Hospital for treatment. After an investigation by the hospital, the other two old men were shocked. Mr. Xiao’s lung cancer was terminally affected, and his cancerous metastasis caused the tumor to compress the spinal nerves, causing him to be unable to walk. Mr. Xiao even had problems with his life and was even more unable to pay the high surgical fee and once gave up treatment. After Mrs. Gao found out, she urged him to undergo the surgery, but Mrs. Gao's own financial ability was not good, and she only relied on meager to make a living, so she immediately asked for help from a friend named Wu.
With Xiao Nan's consent, the enthusiastic Ms. Wu immediately announced his condition information on Facebook and launched a fundraising application, and provided Xiao Nan's bank account, requiring netizens to donate 100 yuan NT$ (about 21 yuan) each. She raised more than 20,000 yuan (about 4,000 yuan) in 5 days, but she still couldn't pay the high surgical fee. Ms. Wu asked for help from the local neighborhood committee, obtained relevant documents, and applied for minimum living allowance users and emergency assistance for Mr. Xiao through special channels. The relevant documents were finally handled yesterday (17th). Ms. Wu uploaded the whole incident and supporting documents to a popular Facebook fan group called "Black Wealthy Enterprise", which attracted a lot of attention from the fan group, and netizens extended a helping hand.
According to Annan Hospital, Uncle Xiao is currently in the fourth stage of lung cancer. After the operation, the resection of lung and spinal cancer cells is good and he is being hospitalized for observation. The medical expenses for the old man's surgery were NT$47,000 (about NT$10,000), and chemotherapy, bone pulp and rehabilitation were required in the future. Since Mr. Xiao was unable to pay the medical expenses at all, the hospital's social work department has intervened and is assisting in applying for a major injury card for Mr. Xiao, which can reduce the medical expenses of his own expenses.
All sides support each other when they are in trouble, full of positive energy. Our society is still full of good people, and good people are safe all the way. I also hope that the government can have more policies and pay more attention to the elderly living alone, so that the elderly who are lonely do not have that hard work!
