His act has garnered him much praise from web users, who said that he presented his mother with the best possible gift for Mother's Day which falls on May 13.
The man said that his father passed away due to lung cancer many years ago, and his biggest wish now was to have his mother be present when he gets married and becomes a father.
The woman, surnamed Jiang, started experiencing symptoms of cirrhosis in January.
She was later diagnosed with the autoimmune liver disease that caused severe cirrhosis accompanied with extremely dilated sub-mucosal veins in the lower third of the oesophagus. The only way to save her life was through a liver transplantation.
