The Aftermath of a Father Digging a Grave for His 2-Year-Old Daughter:
In 2017, Zhang Liyong, from a rural village in Sichuan, learned that his two-year-old daughter was diagnosed with severe thalassemia. The treatment required a hematopoietic stem cell transplant, with total costs approaching nearly one million yuan RMB. To save their daughter, Zhang Liyong and his wife exhausted all their family savings but still couldnβt afford the subsequent medical expenses.
In despair, the father dug a grave with his own hands for his daughter, saying that if she were to leave this world one day, he hoped she could adapt to death sooner. Zhang Liyong stayed with his daughter, sleeping and playing in that earthen grave.
After the video spread online, it touched the hearts of people across the internet.
Thanks to the power of the internet, Chinese crowdfunding platforms stepped in to help the family, raising the full amount of treatment costs in less than a month. Even more heartening, following the doctorβs advice, the couple had another daughter, and the younger sister successfully saved her older sister using her own cord blood. Later, a compassionate entrepreneur also covered all the recovery expenses for the older sister.
After his eldest daughter was discharged from the hospital, Zhang Liyong filled the grave back with soil and scattered sunflower seeds over it.
Love can traverse the deepest despair, blooming with hope even in the most barren soil!
For thousands of years, babies slept with their mothers. When they cried, they were attended to. Then two men came along: Dr. Holt and John B. Watson. They said babies should be trained. That babies had to fit the assembly line schedules of their parents. "Newborns must cry to expand their lungs," they claimed. "Simply let them cry it out." And that's how the "cry it out" sleep training method was born. Watson treated babies like experiments. "Never hug or kiss your child," he wrote. "Shake hands with them in the morning." After all, mothers needed rest, to attend to their husbands and households. Watson had four children. Three attempted suicide. One succeeded. And we still follow it today. Because once you convince a mother to ignore her baby's cries, you've broken something primal.
Zelda Williams has made a statement asking people to stop sending her AI videos of her father, Robin Williams:
βStop believing I wanna see it or that Iβll understand, I donβt and I wonβt. If youβre just trying to troll me, Iβve seen way worse, iβll restrict and move on. But please, if youβve got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. Itβs dumb, itβs a waste of time and energy, and believe me, itβs NOT what heβd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to βthis vaguely looks and sounds like them so thatβs enoughβ, just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening.
Youβre not making art, youβre making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone elseβs throat hoping theyβll give you a little thumbs up and like it. Gross.β
