Xu Xingwen, a leukemia patient who doctors say has only two months to live, saw her wish of having photoes in wedding gowns come true, the Modern Express reported Wednesday.

The twenty-two-year-old woman from Nanjing, east China's Jiangsu Province, has also decided to donate her organs to others in need upon her death.

'I feel relaxed. I have nothing to worry about now,' Xu said lying in bed after filling in the organ donation forms. 'I'm happy to help others in need when I die.'

Her mother Sun Xiaochun started to cry when she saw the organ donation certificate. Xu tried to comfort her, telling her that "Cremation only creates ashes. It's better to leave something useful in the world."

Her only wish left was to take some beautiful photos in wedding gowns and leave them to her mother.

When this information was made know to the paper, it contacted a wedding photo studio in town. The studio offered to take Xu's wedding photos for free, using their best photographers and dressers.

Sun said she didn't know how she would be able to look at the beautiful photos if her daughter passed away.
