His body looks like how my body feels. Even though i don't look crippled , i feel crippled. Chronic pain is horrific.
@@carmichaelmoritz8662is 😊
I would like to thank the elite who research in the field of medicine for advancement and better understanding. This is a humanitarian work, I wish everyone would help the development of medical equipment to grow🙏🥲
很難過,
Flame Thrower
The fact that he was determined to go to university despite all his pain and medical difficulties is remarkable!
You'd be surprised how many different ways disabled people found their place in the scientific community. It's because there, nothing but the study results matter. People share passion for a subject, instead of focusing on the people. Even the cultural differences don't matter when you're working internationally with your colleques. Just a community of dedicated people working together to learn more. It's so great.
@@Kotifilosofi😭😭😭😭 that is so beautiful

"If I give up on myself, I will be useless even after I get cured."
Wow, man... RESPECT. Because you decided yo fight, you ARE useful already, inspiring people from the other side of the world.

It’s extraordinary how he can maintain a focused mind while experiencing such a level of pain and discomfort ❤ 😮
Be thankful that ain't you
lol he has no choice whether he has pain or no pain, he's waking up everyday doing the pain.
he got used to it
@@Sa.d.bo26 exactly. I'm in pain everyday. It's horrific. Some days it takes me an hour just to get up. As long as i don't do any work, i can manage living.

Life is so unfair. He seems to have a strong spirit much braver and stronger than the rest of us.
He also has a wonderful mother. That really makes all the difference.
@@Trund27 And a wonderful disposition on life. He seems truly happy, regardless of the pain he goes thru on a daily basis.

Uygur TÜRKLERİNE özgürlük
we have a fair amount of ungratefully motherfks that lucky enough to have a working body and they are a pain in society
I have no clue why I cried so much . We take such small things for granted . Let’s pray his treatment is successful .
Amen Sarahanhh 🙏🏻
im with you! i was worried about my hip replacement when this came up, and it pales in comparison to what this boy is going through. wishing him well.
Lets hope the doctors are competent. No praying is gonna help him
Gag
@@juha2031 I believed in miracles and have had the grace to experience that prayer works . I hope you can someday experience it too 🤍
May he standup straight like a normal person and be able to lead a normal life like everyone else.
If things were as uncomplicated.
🙏
Indeed! This video for me was so emotionally upsetting. I am hopeful that future videos will show his ability to walk upright without pain. This video showed the pillar of strength of the young man's mother whose love and support was always omnipresent.
he doesn't need to stand up! as long as he's NOT in pain ,. leave him alone. he's obviously intelligent. PRAY for his Health
@@emmapeel8163 The body was not meant to maintain that unnatural position for any length of time and will never function optimally if not addressed . Then there is the mental and logistical component of trying to get through life being stunted and compromised . It's a long road ahead but he's not backing down !
I really hope that his journey goes well and that he can stand more comfortably one day.
Me too.
I really hope that too. This guy deserves more. And a Serene life.
Watching his determination makes me feel ashamed of not achieving more given the circumstances.
Really proud of this man. He's a true soldier.
We each have our own journeys, never compare ourselves to others as it lessons everyone ❤❤
You are right. I feel so ashamed of myself right now. I've had chronic back pain for 14 years and sometimes I feel so bad as the pain is constant.
When I see this young man and all he's had to go through, I have absolutely nothing to complain about. 😢😢😢
Because big pain chanfes our attitude, it is big or nothing. While small pain is more of masochystic caysed by low self esteem
Tribute Kyra I'm crying 😭😭 rip rest in peace clarissa
yea you a loser
"If I give up on myself, I will be useless even after I get cured."
Wow, man... RESPECT. Because you decided to fight, you ARE useful already, inspiring people from the other side of the world.
Right? Well said man. =)
These kind of cases are eye openers for most orthopedic surgeons world wide and requires an entire team to coordinate and plan out exactly how they would correct
I do think this man is a blessing to them as this would certainly advance understanding of surgical techniques including new ones as well as document it for future use
mad respect
I've had a surgery that had been made only a couple of times before in my country at the time, I was a kid at the time. For me, what was most remarkable, was not necessarily even the result of the surgery, but the fact that the surgeon was up-front about the risks and the possibilities, despite me being a child. It is very important to us patients that the surgeons are realistic and humble about the situation, and talk to the client as a fellow person they're co-operating with, not as "an experiment". It makes you feel safer.
Thank you for your very important work!
@@Kotifilosofi They are required to present to you,the risks,how they would do it and what medications they would put you on and also the benefits of the surgery and the reason as to why,also estimated blood loss and the side effect of the medication,since you were a kid,they told these to your parents
I have had 13 surgeries so far and a year hospitalized
@@user-uv3sv3qd2x I was around 13 so they told something to me as well. I mean, moreover just telling the risks etc., I think it's important the surgeons are humble and close to the patient, instead of thinking it's just another statistics. Dunno if I could explain myself 😅
Prayers that he's surgeries bring him some relief from all his pain. Love that he's determined to live as normal life as he can.
Be strong bud! Lots of Love and Prayer to you!
amen! Sending so much love!
@@keldaMousehe might not me christian, rude
@Boxofcare666 No, it's not rude. Not everyone is an obnoxious hateful person like you.
@@Boxofcare666You can still pray for Atheist people!😒
@@Boxofcare666 You can still Pray for them❤
What a strong man. I wish him all the best.
I am in pain just by watching him, but I am really glad for his recovery...
With cases like these, we all have to learn to cherish the hand of cards which we have been dealt. Most of us are still in a much better position than we tend to think so.
it's interesting how some people use other's pain to feel better about their own lives.
@@GorgieClarissawhy gotta make it sound so negative 💀
@@GorgieClarissawho hurts you bro
@@GorgieClarissabegone
@@fathinnurzaman6164because you're using others misfortune and being grateful. ? I'll be grateful if no one in the world has to suffer for something they didn't deserve. Also just cuz we aren't physically disabled dosent mean we can't get bothered over our own personal lives and pain we go each day
You can see how his nose wrinkles in pain from major movements. May these doctors be so skilled that he may achieve his dreams
I'm going through some extremely challenging and daunting times right now. The worst I've ever had to experience in 60 years. But seeing this remarkable young man puts things into a completely different perspective. When compared, well....there is really no comparison.
Господи, бедный человек!
Как мы должны благодарить тебя за то что ты дал мне здоровое тело! Дай сил этому человеку!
Just hurts my heart seeing this. He is a strong, smart and amazing young man. Praying the best in everything for you!! Can't wait for the update.
So heartbreaking to see such pain but inspiring to see him persevering. Wishing him all the best on his journey
I remember seeing this a while back, it's so great to see how far he's come since then. I really hope that one day he can finally stand straight and enjoy the rest of his life without this crippling suffering.
Парень невероятно крепкий духом!!! Дай Бог чтобы его вылечили !!! Желаю ему всего хорошего, и скорейшего выздоровления!!!
Бох ему уже дал что хотел.
Such determination while under tremendous agony.. we should all be very grateful for our health. Bless this young man, I hope his unfolding ends safely and successfully.
I'm rooting for you! Hope you'll get better soon! Keep fighting!
Can’t imagine the pain. Bless his heart. So glad the doctors and staff have given him better mobility. Prayers that his next series of surgery and therapy help him even more.
This touched me. I have had 3 spinal surgeries due to a bad back and it's been hard ... but that's nothing compared to this. His determination. His strength. It's inspiring . It's made me very emotional. His mother's love and the pain she must feel for him grips at my heart too as my son also has a bad back and im watching on knowing the pain he's experiencing. It's heartbreaking. I give all my love to them both. I am saying prayers for you and really hoping life is full of happy and beautiful moments despite your struggles. I will be following what's happening with your journey as best i can. Love from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤️
I've had 3 surgeries on my spine too, so I can sympathize with you, and your son.
Sending hugs. Im sorry to hear. Merry Christmas as well xo
@@kirkc4696
@@kirkc4696i have had 4 spine surgeries, 2 happened this year after 5 years of no problems. Cheers to all of us for still being here
It is heart breaking, love his perseverance. Wish him the best.
Blessed this kid. What a warrior!
Abençoado?? Onde você está vendo benção aí?
He's so brave, what a wonderful sweet young man. I pray he'll get even better.❤️
This poor boy. I pray for him to be healed.
Prayers for him
Ele pode não ser cristão ok
I feel for his mom who is dedicated to her beloved son. 🙏
I am so happy to see his progress. How brave he is to undertake the journey.
That picture with the nurses and doctors got me, I'm so happy they managed to help , he's defiantly an inspiration
I can legit feel the pain
Bro is born to throw it back 😂
Glad to see him get aligned
i feel so bad to write that but i thought the same 😭😅
How he, his parents, the doctors and staffs ability, mind, strength, challenge and love are working, wonderful people. Hope for the best!
Keep updated with his journey. brother is a living legend.
what strong soul
The things I complain about in my life. How most of us are blessed.
True
It´s unbelievable the pain some people have to endure in order to have a NORMAL life, like yours or mine.
If you are a normal healthy person, you are just blessed. ❤
Amen. True
Well done to all the doctors and to this young man. An amazing story.
Rise up jiang rise up❤🎉
What a brave young man
Going to college in that condition. Absolute G. We should all be proud to be cousins of someone so resilient.
Dont ever go to jail bro
This definitely brought tears to my eyes. Seeing so much pain and so much determination when we all take so much for granted. Seeing him laugh and smile looking at his mother at the end of the video… wow.
He's an inspiration!!! He's not letting this stop him from going to college. I wish him luck with his studies! Modern medicine is truly amazing! I will pray for him for success with his medical journey. 🙏
I love his determination and his smile. He's gonna make it through this, I just know it.
Wow, Couldn't imagine... Looks like these doctors & nurses have done great work, i really hope this treatment continues to improve his condition
It's extraordinarily what's possible now with modern surgical science. Hats off to Jiang for his incredible endurance and to the medical team for doing all they can with so little information from similar cases.
he's a fighter ! I hope his journey goes well and brings satisfying results
Wish him a successful recovery 🔥
I’m sorry my back hurt just by watching this I hope he gets the help he needs and become fully functional and lives a full and healthy life😢😢🙏🙏🙏🙏
He is going through so much . I pray for him and that all works out well for him . His bravery humbles me 🌎🌸
Not all heroes wear a cape. Some even struggle standing straight ❤🫡
What a strong young man! Medical science has come so far, I believe in him and his journey!
Hope to recover well one day. Never give up!❤❤❤
I hope he gets all the help needed to make a full recovery
A true fighter.
So much credit to this young man to share his story. Very brave person.
He is an inspiration to many of us. You go boy. Love and Support from India🇮🇳
such an admirable person he is, despite all, his determination is truly inspiring
Such a brave young man who has achieved so much despite his terrible problems. He is amazing❤
Really wish 🤞 this boy luck. Hope he can become normal again!! His perseverance pays off on his milestones now 👍
I hope that with the help of time, he will reach what he desires. Bless him, his family and the medical staff 🙏🏻
Life can be cruel. Get better soon
That's what you call true strength, holding yourself together despite of the heavy circumstances. I offer my prayers to this man.❤
This man is insanely inspiring!! Absolute warrior. It may take a while but I hope he gets full recovery. His family should be proud, he's not letting this stop him from his education and pursuing the things he wants in life.
I’m really proud of this guy
Все мои болячки ничто в таком сравнении.
Poor young man. It makes one thankful for all the luck of having a healthy body. I feel for him.
So heart breaking this poor guy. I am glad his surgery have helped him so far. Now at least he can look forward... no innocent child should have to go through all the pain this poor guy has had.
This man is inspirational, and unsung hero❤❤❤❤
I wonder if this procedure was done when he was younger could be easier to deal with since children's bones are much softer than adults.
This guy is a fighter, he deserves a better life
Prayimg for this young man healing and strength for his mom
Such a touching, humbling story. Praying over his life and recovery 🙏🏾❤
I hope his Condition get better.
I love how supportive comments are here and I hope this video doesn't reach Instagram.
He appears to have a wonderful spirit, and loving parents.
That young man has remarkable courage and determination
I’ve been waiting for an update , I’m so happy he’s doing much better. I hope he gets as much help with his body as he can. I hope if he cannot, It is okay if he cannot stand straight. He is doing much better for himself so far. ❤🎉
Amazing! Sending you lots of love and prayers for your future ❤️❤️❤️❤️
My heart goes out to this brave young man and his mom. Positive healing thoughts to you!
Bless this young man.
👍 👏 to the advancement of science and technology. This would not have been possible a few decades ago.
On doit remercier notre mere de nous avoir donné naissance en bonne santé et ne plus se plaindre de notre quotidien quand on voit ce que d’autre peuvent endurer.😢 ❤
Prayers to him!! I pray the fully unfold him and I also pray he is free from discomfort and pain 💜
This is amazing. So glad he has the support and his determination.
Quand je pense que je passe mon temps a me plaindre de mes migraines. Le courage dont il fait preuve me donne honte de moi. Il y a vraiment des gens extraordinaires, qui malgré les epreuves se battent et sont des soleils pour leurs proches.
Just don't let Instagram see this
Oh nahhh😭
Bro 💀💀
By seeing his pain i realised that my difficulties are nothing infront of these brave people. Salute❤❤.
He is actually the strongest among all of us!
Please keep us updated in the spring of his journey.
🙏🏼I remember the folded man story he was able to stand up after surgeries!
THIS IS AWESOME! Looking forward to your full recovery. Praying for u, Brother. Stay healthy!
These doctors did an incredible job. Very hopeful for this patient
