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.

With the help of a friend, Li Shu, a mother from Langzhong city in Sichuan province, recorded the video from her hospital bed, according to Chengdu Commercial Daily, a local newspaper.

“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.
