A woman in China who has to be fed through a tube because she suffers from a rare disease has remarkably retained her optimism, encouraging and impressing many people.
Liu Kaixin was born with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a rare genetic connective tissue disorder. The syndrome has many subtypes, and Liu’s symptoms include possible multiple organ failure.
The 32-year-old has been living on a feeding tube for the past nine years amid fears that not doing so could have dire consequences.
She has also been using a cardiac pacemaker and chemo port around the clock for years.
