The story was shared by a doctor surnamed Li on his Weibo account. To date, the story of an elderly Chinese mother taking care of her son infected with nCov has been reposted more than 160,000 times and received nearly 5,000 comments.
Due to lack of hospital beds, a 90-year-old mother took her sick son to a monitoring area for 5 days at the Vu Han Alliance Hospital in Vu Han city, Hubei province. The old lady's son was then transferred to the quarantine area and treated further until February 2, the press service daily reported.
During the time taking care of her child in the monitoring area, the doctors and nurses saw the old lady sitting next to the hospital bed, holding her son's hand. The old lady only rested for a slice when she felt tired and ate instant noodles when hungry.
The news report said that her daughter-in-law and grandson were abroad, while the daughter was stuck at home. She was also afraid that her daughter would be infected, so she went to the hospital alone to take care of her son. She said she was not afraid of anything when she was 90.
The results of the 90-year-old woman's viral test showed that she was not infected. Before going home, the old lady wrote a letter of encouragement to her son, in which it was written: "ysson, be strong and defeat the disease".
The touching story has melted the hearts of many netizens, many of whom left comments. "I was in tears. Stay safe. Wishing her aging mother and her family to overcome all the difficulties" - a Weibo user wrote. "Age is not a reason not to be afraid, but it is the love of a mother" - another user wrote.
