1738 Little Happiness

On Monday, the charity auction was officially held, creating a lot of buzz and sparking countless discussions; On Wednesday, the San Francisco 49ers traveled to Children's Hospital as a team to visit children who were seriously ill.

It was another team's collective event.

Inspired by Miles Scott, there are not a few children who have been suffering from illness like Miles, they have only just been in this world for a short time, all of them are new, but they need to face the terrible torture of illness - and what is even sadder is that most of the time they are unable to do anything.

In the face of those terminal diseases, it seems that no one in the whole world can help them, not even doctors, and that powerlessness and helplessness make them feel as if they are on an island with no people, and then ...... It's left to fend for itself. What else can they do but continue to persevere?

Miles needs the power of Christmas miracles, and so do the other kids!

Similar to the charity auction, this is also a proposal initiated at a meeting of the players' families, and Jiang thinks it's a brilliant idea, and a few weeks ago, she asked Lu Ke for his opinion, and then Lu Ke contacted the whole team through Lech, mobilized all the players, and collectively joined the interaction, making a little contribution and giving back to the city of San Francisco for its support.

When the team manager Trent Balk learned about it, he did not hesitate to give official support, and the responsible organization also gave funding, and contacted the Make-A-Wish Foundation, and the two sides worked together, not just to go through the motions and make face, but to really help those children.

Because of the intensive schedule of the playoffs, there is work to be done every week, so like the charity auction, this hospital visit is also scheduled for the week after the National League finals, because this is professional bowl week, and no matter where the team can get to the playoffs, it is the only relatively free week in the playoffs, and all the players can actively participate in charity activities.

On the day of the event, more than 70 people from 49 people in San Francisco arrived at the Children's Hospital en masse, including the players, the coaching staff and the logistics team.

The whole visit is very special, all the players and coaches are treated equally, completely based on children, they are specially here to accompany the children, rehabilitation, treatment, reading, walking, chatting, etc., etc., accompany the children through the simplest and most simple day of their daily life, all the itinerary is according to the rhythm of the children, as long as the children have needs, the players and coaches will be satisfied.

This is a day for the kids.

Unexpectedly, but it is reasonable that the most popular among children is not Lu Ke, but Logan Newman and Joe Stanley.

Logan himself is a big child, accompanying the children to build Lego, play Transformers, open gifts, giggle and laugh until they sweat profusely, completely mingle with the children, mixed with a bunch of children in the game room, without any sense of disobedience, how can it not be welcome?

Stanley is a clown – not in a negative sense, but in a positive sense, he can fold balloons, he can do magic, he can tell stories, he can tell jokes...... He even carried a toy box of his own, teaching the children how to manipulate and perform shadow puppets on the spot, which was a traditional Chinese cultural stunt that he taught himself through YouTube, and even Lu Ke was dumbfounded.

So, what about Lu Ke?

Lu Ke went to the chemotherapy room to accompany the children who had to undergo chemotherapy, and spent a time there with them - a time that was a little different from what he imagined.

Originally, Lu Ke was going to tell stories in the past, and he also borrowed a few fairy tales from the hospital library, but the children collectively complained, "We have heard those countless times, we are not three years old", and the protests made Lu Ke helpless.

In the end, things somehow developed into a "Q&A session". The children asked Lu Ke questions, and Lu Ke answered them with his own experience or perspective.

In the beginning, the questions were all about rugby — not necessarily about quarterbacks or Lu Ke, but more or less about rugby, such as why just running fast doesn't necessarily make a great wide receiver; For example, if you can somersault into the end zone to complete a touchdown, if not, why, if you can, then if you roll into the air and drop the ball, that doesn't count as a touchdown.

Etcetera.

Gradually, the problem began to move away from the scope of rugby, and gradually extended to a wider area of life, and the development trend slowly exceeded the scope of Lu Ke's imagination, which made Lu Ke a little overwhelmed, much more powerful than reporters, for example, how did Lu Ke know that he was in love with Candace; For example, whether Lu Ke thought about changing careers during the injury; For another example, if he can transform into a superhero, what superpower does Lu Ke want.

It started with a question and answer, and finally evolved into a discussion, in which all the children participated, and in the lively atmosphere of chatter and different opinions, the chemotherapy seemed to be less painful, so long, so difficult, and before you knew it, you could end the treatment.

There was only one exception, who sat silently and never spoke. With an expressionless face, it was impossible to tell whether he was listening or wandering away, and he didn't show any sense of participation the whole time, so he stayed alone and detached.

Lu Ke wanted to help him, but he didn't know how to start; But Lu Ke knew that they were only visiting for a day, and there was really too little they could do for these children, even if they chose not to believe in themselves, it was understandable, and he couldn't force them to cooperate with him.

After thinking about it, Lu Ke still decided to extend a friendly olive branch, and before leaving the chemotherapy room, he left a card and a football ball for the child.

"If they say, who cares that another light goes out, and it is shining under billions of stars? Yes, I care. ”

The simplest and simplest words, just as Lu Ke told Ryan Baldwin at the beginning, they are all struggling in their own bottomless abyss, they all think they are fighting alone, but the reality is far from being as bad as imagined, even the most insignificant star, its existence has meaning.

Lu Ke hopes that these words can leave a light in the child's heart, just like planting a seed of hope, and then look forward to the day when the sun will bloom all over the earth in the future and illuminate his way forward. As long as he wants, Lu Ke and the nine people will always be by his side.

The whole event lasted for a full morning, and surprisingly, the players were exhausted one by one, even more tired than after an overtime game; And the children are still alive and well, and it seems that there is a steady stream of energy in their bodies, which makes people wonder if they are not sick at all.

But the nurse told the players that it was because the children had not been so happy and relaxed for too long, and all the energy was released, which caused such an illusion; Once the players are gone, their energy will fall off a cliff.

Being too excited is not a good thing for the patient.

The busiest and hardest part of the morning is actually the nurses, who must monitor the state of the patients all the time, lest they be too excited and too excited and have unexpected problems, which also makes their attention dare not relax throughout the whole process, and the consumption of physical strength and energy is really a lot.

It is precisely because of this that after the event, Lu Ke, Willis and Akens, as representatives of the team, made a special trip to thank the nurses, doctors and the hospital for their hard work, as well as the trust of the children's parents, who are willing to give them this opportunity to contribute their own small strength to the children.

Then, the "Bat Boy Suit" finally appeared.

Lu Ke handed over this suit to the head nurse of the hospital, hoping that she could select a child who was most in need and urgency, and transfer the suit to the child, so that Miles's courage and spirit could be passed on and truly put this help into practice.

If it is just used as a collection, locked in a cabinet as a private collection, or as a part of the Internet bubble, or as a show-off trophy of an Internet celebrity, or even as a medium for hype, then its significance will be ignored, and with the passage of time, it will dissipate little by little, and when the craze of "Bat Boy" or "Christmas Miracle" is all gone, this suit will have no meaning. In the end, it will become a normal Halloween costume.

Lu Ke didn't want this, for that sea of gold, for Miles Scott's story, this was undoubtedly a huge waste.

That great story deserves a great ending, and Lu Ke sincerely hopes that the spirit of the "Bat Boy Suit" can continue to be passed on, just like the spirit of the San Francisco 49ers' "fighting endlessly", and truly become a force in the Bay Area, and eventually create more miracles.

Previously, Nancy Scott entrusted all the charity funds to the Lu Ke Foundation, hoping to help more people through Lu Ke's effective organization, which gave Lu Ke inspiration, and he also hoped that through the Foundation, this set of "Bat Boy Suit" will be transferred to the children who are more desperate again and again - when the child is ready, the suit will return to the Foundation, and then find the next successor again, just like Christmas gifts, which is the best way to pass on the Christmas spirit forever.

So, at the auction, Lu Ke did not hesitate to raise his cards continuously, showing a strong momentum that he was determined to win, because he had already conceived the future of this suit.

Now, it's time to show your true worth - only in the souls in need of help, only in the bodies that need inspiration, that it will help them become superheroes and invincible! Conquer it all!
