Thousands of people have shed tears over a video recorded by woman suffering from cancer and fearing imminent death, in which she prepares a message of blessing for the future weddings of her three children.
“At that time, I felt very bad. I didn’t expect too much from life. I was afraid I couldn’t attend their [my children’s] weddings,” Li told the newspaper.
