Two years ago, after graduating from medical school, Dr Luo began his career as a doctor at a hospital in Yunyang County, Chongqing.
His parents recounted that he was consistently busy and seldom had time to return home for vacations.
“If Sizheng’s organs are donated, he will not be completely gone from us,” they said.
The late doctor’s parents added:
He believed that being a doctor allowed him to truly help others. We are all very proud of him. This donation is like his final chance to save lives and heal the wounded.
