The Struggle of 7 Chai: A Healing Angel in the Fight for Life

The day 7 Chai walked into my life was the 12th day after my mother passed away.

The doctor said that the fierce and emaciated 7 Chai was not suitable for adoption and wouldn't live long, recommending euthanasia. I stubbornly insisted on taking 7 Chai home, settling him in and training him, even if he only had a little time left on this earth.

On the 343rd day of knowing 7 Chai, I received terrible news. I spent a year bringing him back from peritonitis. On the 986th day, heaven dealt me another heavy blow. This time it came more fiercely and urgently. Feline AIDS and feline leukemia - the fears I had always tried to avoid finally caught up with us.

Countless times of colds, bleeding from the head, vomiting blood from his mouth and nose, oral ulcers, rotten paws, rotten face and chin and even deadly peritonitis... 7 Chai overcame one hurdle after another. I couldn't understand why life kept testing him. Even the doctor asked how it seemed like he had been through every illness imaginable but he thanked me for my efforts.Despite all this, I never grew tired of the struggles 7 Chai brought me. We rushed to the hospital together.

In the 1102 days we shared, thank you, 7 Chai, for accompanying me through the lowest points of my life. No matter how difficult the days were, you supported me and I supported you. I learned to be strong and brave for you and you fought one last beautiful battle for me. Thank you, 7 Chai, for teaching me that ordinary people like me can do our part for stray cats.

I want to tell the world - you were once here and you had lived your life to the fullest.

Campaign Statement

Life and death—how many lessons have we learnt? I hope that those moments of sorrow can transform into strength, allowing us to learn to bear the responsibilities of life.

Finally, I dedicate this article to all life warriors. In the face of the pain for parting, your love for those you cherish proves your deep feelings for the departed. However, in life, we cannot escape death. Death makes life finite and accepting death teaches us to take on the responsibilities of life. The most important lesson in life is to truly love someone, which means to live each day to the fullest.
