Description
Two-year-old Haoyang has likely just months to live -- but the only medicine that can help his rare genetic condition is not sold anywhere in China and closed borders due to the Covid-19 pandemic mean he cannot travel for treatment.
Instead, his desperate father, Xu Wei, has set up a home laboratory to create a remedy for the boy himself.
"I don’t want him to wait for death in despair. Even if it fails, I wish my son is on a path of pursuing hope," says the 30-year-old father from his DIY lab in a high-rise apartment building in southwestern Kunming. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
