Chapter 30: In the Name of Love (3)
Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is a non-profit organization, an international volunteer organization composed of medical professionals from all over the world, and is the world's largest independent humanitarian medical relief organization. Guo Xiaojing was selected to join Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), whose volunteers share a common goal: to help those affected by war and natural disasters to escape their plight, contribute their expertise, and treat people of different ethnic and religious backgrounds equally.
Guo Xiaojing takes some time out every year to participate in rescue activities organized by Médecins Sans Frontières, most of which are abroad and in economically underdeveloped countries.
Every time he went out, Nan Jianguo was a little worried, but out of respect for his wife's decision, he didn't stop him, and Xiaojing also thanked her husband for his support from the bottom of her heart.
With a gentle wife, a well-behaved son, and a thriving career, Nan Jianguo feels that the years are quiet and his life is very fulfilling.
This state was in this state until the fourteenth year after marriage, that is, when his son Nan Zhiqiao was almost fourteen years old.
Guo Xiaojing received a notification from Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) that a plague had broken out in northern Uganda, East Africa, and that doctors with a professional background in prevention were needed to provide support.
Although Nan Jianguo had a faint uneasiness in his heart, after hesitating and tangling for a while, he was still the same as usual, without hindrance, when he went to the airport to say goodbye, Nan Jianguo insisted on letting his wife wear the "Ring of Life" ring, hoping that the ancestral treasure of the Nan family could bless his wife to return safely.
After his wife Xiaojing left by plane, the media began to report on the outbreak in Uganda, East Africa, which was confirmed to be an Ebola hemorrhagic fever outbreak after laboratory testing.
Nan Jianguo had heard his wife mention the Ebola virus before, and after the human infection, the fatality rate was as high as 90 percent, and seeing the media reports, Nan Jianguo's worries became more and more serious, and the report on the epidemic in Uganda had not yet been read, and this worry turned into fear of losing his wife.
Nan Jianguo picked up the phone and urged his wife to return to China immediately, but Xiaojing had just arrived in Uganda for two days, and she had a lot of things to do, so she politely refused her husband's request and only said that she would go back as soon as possible.
Nan Jianguo, who was anxious and frightened, called his wife again the next day, but on the other end of the phone was a foreign man, the man spoke fluent English and was also a volunteer of Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), and the man told Nan Jianguo in a short sentence that Xiaojing was unfortunately sick and was receiving treatment locally.
Nan Jianguo suddenly felt his heart sink into the ice cellar, and when he came to his senses, he immediately rushed to the airport, and he wanted to go to Uganda to pick up his wife in person.
However, because of the sudden outbreak of Ebola, all flights in Uganda have been cancelled, and people from outside cannot get in and people from inside can't get out.
Time passed minute by minute, Nan Jianguo was like sitting on pins and needles, but his heart sank into the bottomless abyss, his wife was uncertain about life and death on the other side of the earth, but he couldn't do anything, this feeling was really worse than death, Nan Jianguo hoped that it was himself who was lying on the hospital bed now, not powerless on this side of the earth.
Nan Jianguo tried all kinds of ways to go to the Civil Aviation Administration to inquire, private jets could not go to the epidemic area in Uganda, contact the Ugandan consulate, the same reply, in order to prevent the spread of the epidemic, the epidemic area has been closed, ordinary tourists and business trips can not enter at all.
In the end, Nan Jianguo actually thought that he might be able to enter the epidemic area as a volunteer, and even thought about what illegal means he could use......
Just when Nan Jianguo was anxiously trying to figure out a way everywhere, it was another international long-distance call, but this time it was a dead news.
The Chinese Embassy in Uganda called, Guo Xiaojing died at 3 a.m. local time due to ineffective treatment, the body was cremated, and the urn relics will be arranged to be sent back to China......
Thunderbolt from the blue, shocking bad news......
Nan Jianguo couldn't believe that his beloved wife was separated forever, and when his wife's urn and ring were sent to Nan Jianguo, Nan Jianguo's whole person seemed to have lost his soul, and he didn't react to the outside world, just guarding his wife's ashes and muttering to himself.
Father Nan Lishan saw his son like this, and he was sad and had no better way to persuade him, so he could only take care of his grandson Nan Zhiqiao while managing the company, the death of his daughter-in-law and the decadence of his son made Nan Lishan, who was already old, a lot older.
Nan Jianguo was sad and depressed for more than two months, and suddenly one day, a blonde and blue-eyed foreign man appeared in front of him, and the foreign man said in fluent English: "I have a way to resurrect your wife, are you willing to try it?"
Nan Jianguo, who was indulging in grief, seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, and without thinking about it, he nodded and agreed, "I am willing, as long as I can resurrect my wife, I am willing to pay any price." ”
This blonde and blue-eyed foreign man, named David Kofel, calls himself Doctor David, like Guo Xiaojing, Dr. David is also a volunteer of the World Doctors Without Borders organization, and he also has another identity, the chief scientist of a stem cell research group, after hearing about Guo Xiaojing, he took the initiative to find Nan Jianguo.
Dr. David promised to resurrect Guo on the condition that Nan Jianguo would invest money in his research group and provide research sites in China.
Nan Jianguo was happy and full of hope to prepare what Dr. David needed, the research group needed a huge amount of funds, and required the research site and research content to be kept strictly confidential, so Nan Jianguo chose to build a huge underground laboratory, covering the inconspicuous building on the ground, in fact, the huge building complex under the building is the real core.
Since he began to prepare the laboratory that Dr. David used to resurrect his wife, Nan Jianguo has come to life with hope, and what seems to be a busy group every day is actually misappropriating funds to establish a secret experimental base without a trace.
Nan Lishan saw that his son had recovered his spirits, although it was strange that his son could recover from the pain of losing his wife so quickly, but at the request of his son, he gradually transferred the management of Nanmu Group to Nan Jianguo.
With the right to control the entire Nanmu Group, the secret experimental base was quickly built, and all the hardware and software facilities required by Dr. David were available, and finally, Dr. David asked Nan Jianguo to provide a specimen with somatic cells from his wife Guo Xiaojing, which was the key to resurrecting Guo Xiaojing.
His wife was cremated, her bones were gone, and the only thing that remained, possibly with somatic cells, was a strand of hair cut off on her wedding night.
Can a strand of hair left over 14 years ago really resurrect his wife? Nan Jianguo was skeptical, but Dr. David said that there was a 90 percent chance.
Nan Jianguo is full of hope, not to mention the 90% possibility, even if there is a glimmer of hope, he is willing to give it a try.
