The time is clear, is the time to remember the people who have passed away.
They worship not only their loved ones who died, but all the ancestors who contributed to the society.
Among them, a couple in front of the tombstone sobs to attract everyone's attention.
The couple, from Australia, flew all the way to China to worship their loved ones. It is not reasonable to worship our relatives according to Ching Ming Festival's custom, but the people around them do not feel strange at all, but they have a solemn face on the contrary.
As a matter of fact, the old Australian couple worshiped their own son. It was sad enough for the white-haired man to send the black-haired man, but the young man, who lay asleep in the land of China, was a great man who continued his great love! Worthy of everyone's respect!
The young man, Phillip Hancock, a post-90s, studied a bachelor's degree in literature (language) at the University of West Sydney, and later went to China to teach English at Chongqing Southwest University, teaching English as a foreign teacher, commonly referred to as Philip.
Philip was loved by his colleagues, teachers and students at school. Philip himself loved Chinese culture, and during his college career he was keen on playing guitar and band.
But not for long, 26-year-old Philip died at a hospital in Chongqing on May 9, 2018 after developing diabetic complications.
In order to respect Philip's wishes, he signed an agreement before his death to donate all his useful organs and corneas to five local people in Chongqing.
Philip's parents also accepted and understood it and helped him complete some research on organ donation.
Philippe's father, Peter Hancock, told Australian media journalist: "Philip once said that if I had the chance to be in need of organ donation, I would take everything I could to use!" Helping others is everything to Philip! "
As a foreigner, Philip has won the respect and gratitude of all the Chinese for donating organs to the Chinese people.
After Philip confirmed his death, all the paramedics bowed to the body of the Sydney boy, thanking him for his greatness and selflessness in saving the lives of five people.
Philip's organ donation has been reported by all domestic media, and Australian media have praised Philip's selflessness, calling him "hero" and "angel".
According to the Red Cross Society of China Philip was the first foreign organ donor of the Chongqing and the seventh foreign friend in history to successfully implement an organ donor in China.
Times have changed, to 2019 Ching Ming Festival. Australia's Hancock couple, Philip's parents, went to Chongqing to mourn their son at the Chongqing Organ donation Memorial Park.
"I'm proud of him. He's my hero," he said in tears after his father Peter unveiled the son's monument.
At the same time, Peter told journalist that organ donation should be encouraged and that such education should start from an early age.
However, different from foreign countries, the Chinese have since ancient times said that if the body is incomplete at the time of burial, it is a great sin, the soul has nothing to rely on, and there will be no good returns in the afterlife.
Therefore, the Chinese people have always disapproved of organ donation, China is also the lowest rate of donor countries in the world.
However, Philip's gift to five people resonated with many on Chinese social networks, arguing that "he will continue to live and live through the people he saves."
Dr. Kelvin Ho of the Hong Kong Organ Transplantation Foundation said there was a misunderstanding about the organ donation process and that doctors would not try to save their lives if patients agreed to donate organs after death.
At the same time, the trade in organs on the black market has also aroused public scepticism.
So it's not surprising that Philip's story was publicized in the state media, Kelvin Ho said, praising Philip's greatness and showing the public that even the Chinese are willing to be organ donors. This helps to awaken public awareness.
Time Jun hopes that through this article, you can remember Philip's selfless and great cross-border countries, but also hope that the five people who have received donations can live happily ever after, and Philip's life will continue in them all the time!
