On December 16, 2023, in the emergency room of the Affiliated Hospital of Guilin Medical College, Li Siqing left this world that he was very nostalgic for.
In accordance with his wishes, his family donated his liver, kidney, and cornea to five patients, and all of them were successfully transplanted, sending the "light of life" to others. Li Siqing's body was also donated to Guilin Medical College, and he will "participate" in medical teaching and scientific research as a general teacher in the future.
Li Siqing, born in 1980, worked in Guilin Health and Family Planning Supervision Institute before his death, and served in the army from June 2004 to December 2008, and entered Guilin Health and Family Planning Supervision Institute in January 2009.
In Li Siqing's parents' home, the "Home of Glory" honor plaque on the wall is hung in the most conspicuous position in the room.
On December 14, Li Siqing suddenly fell ill and fainted at work, and was then sent to the Affiliated Hospital of Guilin Medical College for rescue and **, but Li Siqing's condition did not improve and was finally sentenced to death.
Li Siqing is the only child in the family, and this news is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for his parents and wife. Despite her grief, Li Siqing's mother still has an idea, she hopes to donate her son's healthy organs and body to help more people. "Although my son is gone, the donated organs can save other people's lives and allow his life to continue in another way," she said. After listening to his wife's idea, Li Siqing's father also agreed, in the eyes of the two old people, this is a very meaningful thing, and it is also to follow his son's idea. "He studied medicine, and he told us the meaning of organ donation and body donation before, and he himself had this will. It's just that this accident happened so suddenly that he couldn't tell us in person again. His wife, Ms. Yang, also said that although she was reluctant, she finally agreed to donate because she thought that the donation was not only her husband's wish, but also could bring help to the society. So, under the witness of the Municipal Red Cross Society, Li Siqing's parents and wife quickly signed the "Human Organ Donation Relatives Confirmation Registration Form".

The simple family style shapes the resolute character
Li Siqing's father is a physics teacher in middle school, his mother works in logistics at the school, and the old couple have always lived in a house in the 90s of the last century. The house is small, everything is very old, and every piece of furniture has a "birth certificate" with the date of purchase and the date of each repair.
Li Siqing's mother introduced that his wife is a physics teacher, and when things are broken, they never throw them away casually, they are all repaired and used by themselves, so they are new for three years, three years old, and another three years for sewing and mending. When it comes to the education of children, they also said that they have always been very strict with their children, and until now, the refrigerator in the kitchen is still pasted with the handwritten "Zhu Zi's Family Motto" at that time, hoping that he can become a useful person to society. Li Siqing's mother has been awarded the national "star of filial piety and respect for the elderly", their family is the "glorious family" of the autonomous region, and has been awarded the "five good civilized families" at the city level for many years.
The refrigerator also posted a handwritten "Zhuzi's Family Motto".

Three generations of a family use actions to convey great love
The decision to donate Li Siqing's organs and body was not a temporary idea of the family. In fact, Li Siqing is not the first person in this family to donate his body.
Li Siqing's family has a certificate of honor, which was awarded by Guilin Medical College when his grandmother donated her body 17 years ago. The reason why the old man was willing to donate his body back then was actually influenced by his grandson. When Li Siqing applied for university, their family discussed for a long time. At that time, there was a TV series called "Red Cross Square", and they were very touched after watching it, and in this case, Li Siqing filled in the volunteer for clinical medicine at the First Military Medical University of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (now Southern Medical University). When he was in school, he talked to his family about the meaning of organ donation and body donation.

Li Siqing's grandmother had been paralyzed for 11 years before she died. After listening to his grandson's introduction, the old man was moved, had the idea of donating his body, and deliberately wrote this matter into his will. In 2006, my grandmother passed away, and her body and cornea were donated in accordance with the old man's wishes.
Not only Li Siqing's grandmother, but his parents also have the will to donate organs and remains. More than 10 years ago, both parents also registered as body donation volunteers. They said that while the traditional concept of "being in the ground for peace" has always existed, "if there is a more meaningful way to deal with what happens after the death, we are also willing to accept it." Li Siqing's mother also said: "Although the death is very sad, I feel relieved to think that the donated organs can save other people, and the body can also be used for teaching, so that medical students can learn more knowledge, and I will feel that he has not left us yet." ”
Three generations of inheritance, one life continues in another, and the spirit of one generation continues to the next!
Love is ennobled by broadness, and noble love will also make longing stop at sorrow and become compassionate. Organ donation is meaningful to each of us, but not everyone has such an action, Li Siqing and his family vividly interpret the "great love of the world", which deserves the respect and praise of the whole society!
