After learning of his cancer diagnosis, 59-year-old Wu Zhiquan (transliteration) decided to get his affairs in order. His first wish? To donate $100,000 to the Cheng Hong Welfare Service Society, so that it could continue its work in caring for the vulnerable in society, reported Shin Min Daily News on Saturday (Oct 5). Wu, who worked in the insurance industry, had been an active volunteer there since 2019, before the Covid-19 pandemic. His wife Huang Jinye (transliteration), 59, also followed in his footsteps, volunteering together at the society after the pandemic. In late July this year, Wu went for multiple doctors' visits and medical examinations for a pain in his lower back which even prescribed painkillers could not ease. In mid-August, the pain got so bad that Wu was rushed to the hospital emergency department, where he was eventually diagnosed with end-stage cancer. The cancer cells were suspected to have spread to other parts of his body. Wu died on Aug 24, a day before he was scheduled to undergo a biopsy so that doctors could formulate a treatment plan.
