Have you ever heard of a superhero without a cape? Let me tell you about Cai Lei, a real-life hero from the Chinese mainland.
Cai Lei was a successful executive at a big e-commerce company. But in 2019, his life changed when he was diagnosed with a serious illness called ALS (which stands for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis). ALS is a disease that affects the nerves in the brain and spinal cord, making it hard for people to move their muscles over time.
But instead of giving up, Cai Lei decided to use his strength to help others! πͺ
He started working with his team to:
- Build a Big Data Platform π: They collected lots of information to help doctors understand ALS better.
- Encourage People to Donate: Cai Lei promoted the idea of donating bodies for research, so scientists can find new ways to treat the disease.
- Work with Experts Around the World π: He teamed up with over 100 top international scientists to develop new medicines.
Cai Lei’s determination inspires many people. He’s fighting not just for himself, but for thousands of others who have ALS. His story teaches us about courage, kindness, and never giving up!
Let’s cheer for heroes like Cai Lei who make the world a better place! π
