The Love Story
What is "A Skin-Graft With Love"?
It is a true story of lifesaving which happened in Changhua, Taiwan. Because of the touching story, A Skin-Graft With Love Foundation was founded. Now, let's take a trip in the time machine with The Ping-He Doves back to Changhua in 1928 to know more about A Skin-Graft With Love!
This affecting story took place in Changhua in 1928...
There was a 13-year-old boy called Zhou Jin-Yao. One day, he fell down and hurt his leg.
His father took him to a temple to ask a psychic for cure, but his wound became worse.
"Dr. David Landsborough of Changhua Medical Center is excellent!" Someone told Jin-Yao’s father. Then Jin-Yao was taken to the doctor.
"Only skin-grafting can save Jin-Yao’s life." Dr. Landsborough said after diagnosis. So his wife,
Mrs. Landsborough, gave a part of her skin to Jin-Yao.
But this time, the surgery failed. Dr. Landsborough did not give up and looked for effective treatment from many medical books. Finally he found a good one to treat Jin-Yao.
Dr. Landsborough cut a part of Jin-Yao’s own skin into pieces, and grafted them all on his injured leg.
Mrs. Landsborough took care of Jin-Yao very carefully after his new surgery.
The new surgery was a success. Jin-Yao’s leg healed.
Dr. Landsborough and his wife kept supporting Jin-Yao until he graduated from Seminary.
