我绝对不让她变成乞丐！

原文英文

The next day, Liu Sanwa carried Duoduo out of the mountain village. They first traveled to Xin'an County, 15 miles away, visiting clinics and hospitals, only to be told by the doctors that the disease had entered the bone marrow and was incurable. One doctor asked in surprise, “This pain is unbearable even for adults, why isn’t this child crying or screaming?” Liu Sanwa burst into tears, while Duoduo held tight to her mother and said, “Mom, it doesn’t hurt, it really doesn’t hurt!”

Liu Sanwa had no choice but to continue carrying Duoduo to Luoyang, begging along the way for 8 days until they arrived. She inquired at hospital after hospital and found out that treatment was possible, but the hospitalization fee alone was 8,000 yuan, and this was only the pre-surgery cost; the post-surgery expenses were still unknown. Liu Sanwa knelt before the hospital director and pleaded in tears, “I only have this much money, can you please make sure my child suffers less?” The director finally agreed. For just 180 yuan, the doctors performed a simple surgery, provided disinfection and bandaging, and prescribed some painkillers.

After another dozen or so days, Liu Sanwa carried Duoduo back home. She told her husband, Geda, to take care of the child while she went out to raise money, insisting that she must cure the child’s illness.

Villagers who heard about the situation came to ask for details. When Liu Sanwa explained her plan, some advised her to bring the child with her for begging, saying that the child’s foot was visible evidence and that people have hearts, which would make fundraising more effective. But Liu Sanwa firmly refused: “I can’t do that. It is already a sin that I cannot let my child go to school; I absolutely refuse to let her become a beggar!”
