Before he passed away, Yaoyi had a very selfless wish—to donate his organs. He told his parents that he wanted others to use his liver and kidneys, a dying wish that extended other people’s lives.

Laing Yaoyi was a brilliant student from Shenzhen, China. At the age of nine, he suddenly felt dizzy. When he was taken to the hospital, it was later found out that the young boy had brain cancer.
But being the selfless innocent kid that he was, after he learned the diagnosis, Liang told his mom, Li Qun, that he wanted others to make use of his organs.

Daily China reported that according to Liang, the donation was a chance for him to be “alive in another way.” He also said, “There are many people doing great things in the world. They are great, and I want to be a great kid too.”
Liang Yaoyi lost his battle and died from the tumor last June.
