Many on social media are mourning the death of a 25-year-old Chinese woman who tenaciously fought terminal cancer until it ultimately took her life.
Lu Wenna, an auxiliary police officer in southwestern China’s Yunnan province, passed away on December 6 from a rare form of cancer known as rhabdomyosarcoma, a type of soft tissue sarcoma.
Since her diagnosis in May last year, she had been responding positively to treatment and documenting her journey on her Douyin account, @bunana, where she had amassed 32,000 followers.
Despite her deteriorating physical condition, Lu inspired many with her passion for life.
In one video shortly before her death, she stated: “I want to live.”
In another video from November, she expressed gratitude to her online supporters: “Yunnan is warm in winter. There is sunshine, my mum’s love, my sister, and your company. I am satisfied.”
