Mr. Cai Lei said that he was different from Hawking in that he chose to accept ALS Hawking, while Cai Lei chose to fight. This comparison makes people even more moved by this ALS warrior who is racing against time.
Recently, he and his wife will donate another 100 million yuan to support basic research, drug research and development, clinical medical and other scientific research projects of ALS. This time, the expenses plus the 1.5 billion funds in the early stage are mainly the manuscript fees of his books, as well as the income from the life spelling in the ice-breaking live broadcast room every night, as well as donations from enthusiastic people. Cai Lei is a warrior whose courage and determination inspire many. His story teaches us that even in the face of great difficulties and challenges, we can still choose to be positive and work for our own future and that of others.
Hawking is also a warrior, although after he got ALS, he did not invest energy and financial resources in ALS research, but after he got sick, he attracted many people and social forces to pay attention to ALS and the occurrence and development of the disease, which is a contribution in itself.
Secondly, although ALS took away a lot of things from Hawking, such as his independence, his only control over his body was his eyes and his fingers that control the wheelchair, but the disease did not take away his spirit. Still committed to his passion for research and the pursuit of knowledge, he flew in a hot air balloon on his 60th birthday, and at the age of 65, he flew in zero gravity. He has participated in scientific conferences and workshops on all continents, including Antarctica. He was married twice and left three children. He never lost his sense of humor or zest for life. He loved racing in a wheelchair around Cambridge, where he lived, and how nice it was for him to be alive.
Therefore, although Hawking and Cai Lei have different choices for ALS, they have not lost confidence in life, and their indomitable will makes them live every day, full of hope and goals, which is also an example for these two warriors to leave to the times.
