Parents who abandon their daughter after she is diagnosed with cancer. Despite all this, the story of a girl who fought the disease alone and moved forward with courage is going viral on China’s social media. This is the story of 23 year old Xia Shiwei from a village in Anhui province of China. In 2021, she suddenly fainted during the college entrance exam. Despite feeling unwell, he decided to complete his exams. Later, when he consulted doctors, it was found that he had bone cancer.
His illness started worsening rapidly. Just a year later, doctors had to amputate his right leg to save his life. Zia’s mother started considering her a burden. It was only after repeated requests from his grandmother that his mother took him to a hospital in Beijing for treatment. As soon as his daughter’s cancer was detected, Zia’s father broke all relations with her. And when his leg was cut off, his mother also left him.
Despite such difficulties, Xia gained admission to Hefei Normal University and continued his studies. To raise money for treatment, she started writing online and making toys and selling them on the streets. She also created an online account called ‘Miracle Zia Zia’ to share her treatment and life experiences. Soon, her account became famous and gained 460,000 followers. After her parents left her, Zia underwent six operations. Later, he bought himself a prosthetic leg and learned to walk on it.
In 2023 and 2024, Zia’s cancer returned and spread to the lungs. Recently, Xia revealed that doctors found a new tumor in her pleura. Doctors at Shanghai Hospital have advised her chemotherapy and surgery and say that with treatment she may survive. Despite all this, Jiya says that she wants to live her life to the fullest. Whether someone is with her or not, she is moving forward without losing courage. China’s social media is now praising him.
