‘My dying mum cooked me one last meal’: man in China films frail, cancer-stricken mother making dinner before death and moves millions to tears
- A video of a mother dying from cancer cooking her son a final meal goes viral in China
- The man filmed the video shortly before his mother died earlier this month from cancer and it has been viewed online hundreds of thousands of times
A video taken by a Chinese man of his cancer-stricken mother making their last dinner has trended on mainland social media, becoming one of the most searched news items on the weekend.
The video was published on Douyin last week by a man, surnamed Deng, from Dalian in northeast China. In the video, his mother, who was bareheaded and wearing pyjamas, was busy cooking in the kitchen.
The video is set to the famous Chinese folk music song Farewell while Deng captioned it with: “Mum, rest in peace. Nothing will defeatme any more.”
Deng, who is in his 20s, filmed the video shortly before his mother died earlier this month, the Xiaoxiang Morning Herald reported.
He said his mother, who was a strong and independent person, was diagnosed with cancer in February but did not tell her family, fearing they would worry. She only let Deng accompany her for medical treatment for the cancer which was not specified in the news report.
