Ding Zheng, 37, and his mother Zou Hongyan, 62, from central China’s Hubei province, have moved many people online with their story.
Zou said Ding was diagnosed with cerebral palsy due to medical malpractice during his birth in 1988
A doctor and Ding’s father advised Zou to give up the baby while he was in a critical condition. Zou refused, saying she would “fight them to the death if anyone removed his tubes”.
“I am his mother. I took such good care of him when I was pregnant. I would never give up,” Zou recalled.
