Many children dream of being superheroes and saving those in need of help. 11-year-old Liang Y. was actually able to make an incredible difference and be a hero for others. He had been fighting brain cancer since he was 9, and surgeries and treatments were not able to eliminate the tumor.

Despite his traumatic battle with the disease, Liang's final thoughts were for the lives of other children. His last request was that his organs be donated.
“I have seen many people doing good deeds and I think they are great. I want to be a great child too,” he told his mother.

When he finally lost his fight against the devastating disease, there was little time for grieving. Medics had no choice but to get him into surgery as quickly as possible in order to remove his kidneys and liver, that were successfully transplanted into others who needed them.
Nevertheless, Liang's doctors still made time to pay tribute their selfless patient, taking a moment to bow three times before the gurney, an act traditionally performed at Chinese funerals to honour the dead, and someone snapped a photo of them bowing to show their utmost respect for him.

Just eight hours after his death, Liang got his wish - his kidney and liver had already been used to save the lives of two people.
Liang most certainly died a hero and will continue to live on through the organs he was able to donate.
