He raises hundreds of thousands of dollars in charitable funds from abroad every year, but he is penniless;
The charitable projects he presided over were distributed in many provinces (regions), but he was erratic;
He helped tens of thousands of people, but rented a simple single room;
He has led volunteers to leprosy villages in various places many times and sent them practical care, but he passed by death twice, and now he has struggled with death for two days and two nights because of a cerebral infarction, leaving him with a lifelong disability ... "Yang Hai! Yang Hai! " On the morning of February 10, 2006, Li Jintao knocked on the door and shouted anxiously outside a rental house in Jiefangsi Village, Changsha. Li Jintao is one of Yang Hai's best friends. Yang Hai once gave him the key to renting a house. On the evening of February 9th, Li Jintao received a phone call from Yang Hai's family and friends: Since the morning of the 8th, Yang Hai has been "missing", the door was locked and no one answered his cell phone. No one could find him ... knocked on the door for a while, but there was no response in the room. Li Jintao decisively took out the key to open the door. It was chilly in the humble single room, and the pungent smell was suffocating.
Yang Hai is lying in bed, dying. When he saw Li Jintao, his eyes widened for a moment, then darkened. His mouth moved, but he heard nothing.
Li Jintao knows it's not good. He reached out and found that Yang Hai's sheets were wet, even his jeans were wet. Obviously, he is incontinent!
A few minutes later, Yang Hai's assistant Xiao Yu rushed to the hospital. Together with Li Jintao, he simply wiped Yang Hai's body, put on a suit of clothes, and immediately sent him to the Third People's Hospital of Changsha.
It was diagnosed soon: sudden cerebral infarction! The hospital immediately issued a critical notice.
This day, the 13th day of the first lunar month, is still fragrant.
So far, no one knows how Yang Hai struggled with death alone in the rental house during the two days and nights from February 8 to 10. Li Jintao said: "In retrospect, after I entered the room, Yang Hai's eyes widened obviously, which was his desire to survive ..." On February 12, the Lantern Festival, the atmosphere outside the ward was filled with reunion and celebration. Yang Hai, who has not recovered consciousness, is lying in bed asleep, with intravenous drip in his hand and oxygen tube in his nostril, and occasionally gives out a few painful groans in the cavity deep in his throat. His father, Yang Huajun, stood by the bed and moistened his son's dry lips with cotton swabs from time to time.
On February 10, after learning that Yang Hai was critically ill, the old man walked 8 kilometers from his hometown in Huitong County, Huaihua City to the county seat and arrived in Changsha by bus overnight. Yang Hai is his youngest son, and he is also the greatest concern and pride of this ancient old man in his life.
Yang Hai, born in 1969, was kind and strong since childhood. He suffered from congenital heart disease, and his family was poor and had no money to treat him, which became the deepest guilt in his parents' hearts. 65438-0989, Yang Hai was admitted to the English Department of Hunan Normal University. During his college years, he set up a tobacco stall and did various small businesses to lighten the burden on his parents. He frequently appeared in English salons, and his excellent English ability and simple and kind nature made him quickly mingle with foreign teachers in several neighboring universities. After graduating from college, Yang Hai did foreign trade business, studied in Germany for one year, taught in universities, worked in foreign companies, and worked as an assistant counselor in the US Embassy in China for nearly one year. During these experiences, he made many foreign friends by virtue of his personality charm, and with their support, he underwent heart surgery twice in Beijing on 1996 and 1998. Just when people envied what he had, Yang Hai made an amazing decision: give up his high-paying and promising job and join in charity. He said to his father: My life was saved by international friends, and I will use my life to help those in need. In June 2003, at the first high-level forum of China transnational corporations and public welfare held in Beijing, he said in an interview with the media: "I would like to be a charitable self-employed person all my life!" /kloc-in the past 0/0 years, Yang Hai has traveled all over the north and south of the great river and the frontier of the plateau. His tireless figure brings hope to people living at the bottom of society. In Inner Mongolia, we carried out the aid construction of grassland health centers, and raised $230,000 in medical equipment and medicines at one time, all of which were donated to Hulunbeier Health Bureau.
He built Hope Primary School in Tibet and Sichuan and accompanied foreign philanthropists to plateaus and basins again and again. No one can see that he is a patient with congenital heart disease.
He trained as a rural doctor in Yunnan and invited Diarra, the first foreign Chinese medicine practitioner and African, to "set up an altar in the town". He still has an office in Yunnan;
He organized a volunteer medical team in Hunan. During the one-year period from May 2003 to June 2004, he raised 65,438+200,000 yuan in international donations, benefiting 9,000 poor patients, 20 of whom received surgical aid.
He tried his best to raise funds, so that three children with cleft lip in Xiangxi had a bright smile and several cataract patients saw the light again. ...
In the past two years, Yang Hai has focused on a special corner-Leprosy Village. He organized volunteers to go deep into leprosy villages around the country and file files for leprosy patients one by one; He raised money from overseas to buy the best quality cotton-padded quilts and sent them to leprosy village.
For those lepers who don't know him, Yang Hai runs almost desperately. June 65438+February 65438+June 2005, our reporter just witnessed the true feelings of the volunteer team headed by Yang Hai in Leprosy Village, Rucheng, Chenzhou City. On February 24th, 65438, his figure appeared in Leprosy Village, Dao County, Yongzhou City. In just one week, Yang Hai has traveled all over Changsha, Rucheng and Daoxian, and he has to climb mountains and mountains in and out of leprosy village. God knows how much energy is contained in his body with congenital heart disease! However, in that trip to Daoxian County, Yang Hai finally fell ill and fell ill because of fatigue. He stayed in Daoxian People's Hospital for 3 days, and then was taken back to Changsha by his friends. Unexpectedly, before he recovered, he rushed to Beijing to contact related charity matters.
"Can he run around like this without breaking down?" On February 12, Yang Hai's girlfriend Xiaowen (a pseudonym) complained distressfully in front of reporters. On the evening of February 14, the reporter came to the Third People's Hospital of Changsha again to learn about Yang Hai's condition. According to attending physician Han Wei, Yang Hai's brain tissue has been necrotic in a large area, and he is not out of danger at present, so the prognosis is hard to say. And because he has had two heart operations (with a catheter inserted in his heart) and pneumonia, other complications may occur at any time. As of press time, Yang Hai's medical expenses have reached nearly 7,000 yuan. As for how much money is needed, Han Wei said it is difficult to predict, because according to the optimistic estimation of the current situation, it will take Yang Hai at least one month to enter the stable period of illness.
Faced with unpredictable medical expenses, Yang Hai's father was at a loss, but the old man didn't complain to anyone. It's just that whenever someone in the ward comes to visit Yang Hai, the old man will kindly gather in Yang Hai's ear and say, "Look, Haier, another good man has come to save you ..."
It may be hard for anyone to believe, but it's true-Yang Hai, who can raise hundreds of thousands of dollars from abroad every year, is as poor as a church mouse. According to the agreement, the chinese primary health care Foundation, which he is affiliated with as a "self-employed", does not provide him with any salary, nor does any other unit or individual pay him any salary. In other words, he basically has no income, and the "welfare" he can usually get is to reimburse a little travel expenses from charitable funds. Yang Hai's frugality is famous in the circle of friends. He eats mostly lunch boxes and lives in a single room rented by 200 yuan every month. It's difficult to change clothes and shoes ... When he returned to Changsha at his parents' home for the New Year this year, he told Xiaowen, "I have discussed with my two brothers that our three brothers will give their parents 300 yuan a month to let the two old people live a good life. I have to be more economical in the future. " Xiaowen wants to cry when she thinks of this sentence. "He is such a person. Tens of thousands of people have helped in these years, and now their lives are dying, but they don't even have the money to treat diseases. " Xiaowen's eyes were red and she told the reporter something. "After he came back from Daoxian last time, he was in poor health, but he told me all day that he would buy a set of screening equipment for Leprosy Village in Daoxian, saying that he would let lepers watch movies. Just for this, he spends every afternoon in the computer city, repeatedly comparing quality and price ... "A few days before the accident, Xiaowen received a phone call from Yang Hai:" The projection equipment has been selected, and it costs 8,800 yuan, but I am still short of 800 yuan. ...
