Children Donate Their Scalps To Seriously Burned Father

An eight-year-old boy and six-year-old girl are probably the most loving children of their parents ever!

Wang Xiyong had been seriously injuried after he crashed his car into an electrical box that caught fire. The man suffered severe burns on his head, neck, abdomen and torso, that covered almost 90 per cent of his body.

The man needed urgent skin transplant and his wife, Li Changmei, offered to take her scalp for his operation but doctors denied. Mr Xiyong was in critical condition and they couldn’t risk his life.

That’s why they said that the best option is the scalp from a blood relative, which would give a father-of-two a better chance at recovery. The medics reassured that the children’s scalp would grow back healthily with time but their mother refused the proposition.

What is more surprising is that after she shared the idea with their little daughter and son, they immediately volunteered to donate their scalp. The siblings underwent the successful operations at the end of September and have already gone back to school. Their father is recovering!

The transplant surgery was reportedly partly funded by money donated by local villagers, by the Chinese Red Cross and by the electrical company responsible for the box containing the high voltage wires.
