The man decided to donate the girl's seven organs: “I just want my daughter's heart to keep beating.”
In China, a father donated organs from his nine-year-old daughter, who died from an injury sustained in a school accident.
It is reported by the South China Morning Post.
Huang Qin's daughter, Tongtong, died three months ago after a classmate accidentally knocked her down in the hallway of an elementary school in Qinzhou City, China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.
The incident occurred on October 20, 2021, when students ran out of the classroom before a physical education lesson. The girl hit her head against the wall, after which she lost consciousness. CCTV footage showed a gym teacher carrying the unconscious girl into the staff room.
The class teacher said that the student soon came to her senses, she was given a cup of water with red sugar, after drinking which Tongtong assured that she felt better.
Then a student who pushed the child was called into the office. The girl assured that she was not offended by a classmate and ran to the lesson. Only a few hours later, Tongtong's father received a phone call to inform him of his daughter's injury.
“She told me that she forgot to have lunch at noon. This is the last sentence she left me,” Qin said. “I was at a loss. I scolded the teachers, blaming them for not noticing the problem earlier.”
