Chinese netizens flood messages of support for dying American boy
Online Edition
CHINESE netizens have flooded the Internet with messages of support for an eight-year-old American boy with terminal cancer who told his father he wanted to be famous in the Asian country before dying.
Dorian Murray, from Westerly, has been battling rhabdomyosarcoma, a type of cancer that attacks the muscles, since the age of four. After the disease spread to the spinal cord and brain, his family stopped the treatment and he is spending his time home.
Dorian’s father posted a message on Facebook under the title “Praying for Dorian,” saying his son wishes that before he "goes to heaven" he "would like to be famous in China... because they have that bridge", referring to the Great Wall.
“So I am reaching out to anyone who may know someone in China or other countries who would be willing to send a picture to Dorian with a D-STRONG sign,” the father said.
