Love passes on, hand in hand.
In August, Changsha, the scorching sun baked the earth, but even more intense than the sun baking the ground was the heart of Kong Linghong, the manager of the OTC Division of Lizhu Group in Xiangbei. On July 5, his son, Kong Jiacheng, who had just turned one year and eight months old, was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia—this was like a bolt from the blue for this happy family. From that moment on, this small family fell into immense sorrow: the child's health and the high medical expenses put unimaginable pressure on the 30-year-old Kong Linghong, who quickly sold his property and sought help from relatives and friends.
At this moment, Chen Zhihuai, the general manager of the OTC Division, received the news and quickly called on his colleagues in the OTC Division to actively extend a helping hand to Kong Jiacheng. Thus, a WeChat message titled "When Lizhu's talented people are in trouble, we will walk hand in hand" quickly spread. Upon seeing this WeChat message, Lizhu Group's president, Tao Desheng, immediately donated 3,000 yuan to Kong Jiacheng. All colleagues from Lizhu Group's functional headquarters, prescription drug division, and OTC division actively took action. In just over half a month, this warm family of Lizhu Group quickly gathered over 290,000 yuan in donations. This outpouring of love instantly warmed the hearts of Kong Linghong's family and gave hope for little Kong Jiacheng's treatment.
On August 8, the OTC Division held a brief donation ceremony at the Changsha Children's Hospital where little Kong Jiacheng was being treated. The loving acts of the Lizhu family also attracted coverage from local television stations. They were deeply moved by the strong love of the Lizhu people, and when they saw the adorable little Kong Jiacheng occasionally showing a mischievous smile, everyone present couldn't help but shed tears.
"Having a healthy and happy family is everyone's dream. But unexpected misfortunes can occur, and when leukemia strikes, humanity remains helpless. Having worked in the pharmaceutical industry for over 20 years, I can personally feel the immense pain and harm that major diseases bring to patients' families. This time, our Xiangbei provincial manager Kong Linghong is unfortunate, but as a member of the Lizhu family, Kong Linghong is also lucky. We are a loving family. The over 290,000 yuan in donations may be a drop in the bucket compared to the high treatment costs of leukemia, but this affection and the warm blessings from the Lizhu family hope to touch the heavens. Let us all wish for our lovely Lizhu family member Kong Jiacheng to drive away the disease and recover soon!" The assistant general manager of the OTC Division choked up several times while sending the most sincere blessings from the Lizhu people to Kong Linghong's family.
Since its establishment 30 years ago, Lizhu Group has built primary schools, donated over ten million yuan in medicines to the Wenchuan earthquake, and contributed to the Yunnan Ludian earthquake. Whenever major disasters occur, Lizhu people will extend a helping hand to the disaster areas at the first opportunity, demonstrating a strong sense of social responsibility. The donation activity by Lizhu Group to Changsha for little Kong Jiacheng was quickly spread again through WeChat, attracting great attention from caring individuals across society, and subsequent donations are still ongoing. "As long as everyone contributes a little love, we will create a beautiful blue sky for our little Kong who is suffering from illness.
