Work will continue as usual during the Spring Festival
Cai Lei's life was suddenly split into two sections in 2019.
In the first half of the 41 years, he always thought that life should be like this: go to school, start a business, start a family, and struggle; In the second half, he started his business again and became an "icebreaker" in the fight against ALS, racing against time.
With continuous investment and physical deterioration, more than a year ago, he sold his house and car, explained what happened after his death, and decided to "shoot the last bullet". His wife, Duan Rui, also devoted herself to the live broadcast e-commerce work of striving for sustainable funding for scientific research, and achieved continuous hematopoiesis for scientific research. "After more than a year of hard work, ALS icebreaker can finally be reloaded. On January 27, Cai Lei announced that he would donate another 100 million yuan to support basic research, drug research and development, clinical medical and other scientific research projects of ALS. (Previously reported that he announced: donate another 100 million yuan!) It was previously said that death is very close).
Previously, he admitted to reporters that for more than a year, the live broadcast effect exceeded his expectations. "Scientific research does not make money, and live broadcast is the most important pillar of scientific research. In the new year, he hopes that the live broadcast work will be carried out steadily and gradually expand the scale.
Although his health is not ideal, he does not dare to rest, nor does he want to rest, because he has to sprint with all his strength in scientific research, the faster the better, and patients cannot afford to wait.
Recently, in a return interview with reporters, Cai Lei introduced his schedule for the Spring Festival holiday:The live broadcast is affected by express delivery and will be suspended from the 30th day of the Chinese New Year's Eve to the sixth day of the new year. "Teacher Duan (Duan Rui) has been busy all year, which can also give her a good rest and relaxation. ”He himself is open 365 days a year, and he will still work as usual during the Spring Festival.
