A real-life warrior

Anyone who knows me knows that I am not a fan of visiting hospitals or going to funerals. But going to see 11-year-old Yuanyuan recently at a Beijing hospital was a must for me.

Yuanyuan is one of the most amazing and beautiful humans I have ever met.

Five years ago, Yuanyuan was diagnosed with EBV, which is associated with hemophagocytic lymphohistocytosis, and is a form of leukemia. But, little Yuanyuan has no fear. She has a peaceful spirit. She is patient. She has a sense of humor. She knows what she likes and what she wants.
