A woman who spent two years in a
coma was bid a heartbreaking farewell by loved ones, who switched off
her life-support machine just hours after she was married.
He Jingjing and her fiance Lu Lai, of Guangdong in southeast China, had the world at their feet in 2011.
Both had found top jobs in the local government at Guangzhou, they had recently bought a home and were planning to get married.
But their plans for a long and happy life together were cut tragically short when He Jingjing was taken ill one day at work.
Two years on, her family gathered by
her bedside to celebrate her 28th birthday complete with a cake, and
then took part in a wedding ceremony, finally fulfilling the couple's
dream of marrying.
Her organs will now be donated to help other people in need.
Lu Lai said: 'I am happy she will
have helped others to live but for me I don't think about her living on
in others, for me she will live on in my heart forever. I will always
miss her.
Relieving the tragic events leading
up to when his bride-to-be was taken ill, Lu Lai said: 'We wanted a
special wedding, so we were doing overtime to make sure we saved up
enough.
'She was ill but she did not want to
stop work. Then one day I had a call to say she had collapsed at her
computer and been taken to hospital.
'They said she had stopped breathing on the way, and had to be resuscitated.
'I was told at the hospital she was
alive but later it became clear that she had been permanently brain
damaged. There was nothing we could do for her.'
Her father Fang Lu said: 'She was
such a wonderful, vibrant young woman. I can't believe she is gone, but
she did always say she was prepared to be an organ donor and this way
part of her will live on and help others to life.
'She was our only child, we wanted to have one last special thing together.'
