Chinese man dances on live-streams nightly to fund cancer treatments for wife and daughter
His unwavering love for them has resonated with many, prompting generous donations through his online account.
Wen Haibin and his wife, Yang Xiaohong, were secondary school classmates. After getting married, they relocated from their hometown, a small city in Sichuan province, to Guangdong province in southern China, seeking better financial opportunities.
They welcomed their elder daughter three years ago, followed by their younger daughter a year later.
Their joyful life took a devastating turn in June last year when their younger daughter, Xiyang, was diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma, a type of soft tissue sarcoma. The heartbreak deepened in December last year when Yang was diagnosed with breast cancer.

Faced with overwhelming challenges, Yang contemplated giving up to avoid further financial burden on the family.

Chinese researchers find genetics shapes brain's critical balance linked to mental ability
Chinese researchers have discovered that genetics influences the brain's ability to maintain the crucial balance between activation and control, a key element of cognitive function. There is extensive evidence that brain criticality – the balance between neural excitation and inhibition – enhances its information processing capabilities. But despite the significance of brain criticality and its potential influence on neurological and psychiatric disorders , the genetic basis of this state had been 'largely unexplored', according to researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences' biophysics and automation institutes. 'We demonstrate that genetic factors significantly influence brain criticality across various scales, from specific brain regions to large-scale networks,' the team said in their paper published in the peer-reviewed journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences last month. They also established a link between criticality and cognitive functions, suggesting a shared genetic foundation. 'These findings position brain criticality as a biological phenotype, opening broad avenues for exploring its implications in brain function and potential dysfunctions,' the team wrote.
