Huang Haile, from Guangdong province in China, arranged for a violinist to perform for his terminally ill mother, Ye Jindi, in her ICU ward at Dongguan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine on January 6. Ye, a former music teacher, had been diagnosed with late-stage liver cirrhosis in 2023 and her condition rapidly deteriorated after being diagnosed with inflammation of the heart in December. Doctors determined surgery was not an option. Huang invited violinist Tang Xing to play Joe Hisaishi's "Mother" on December 31 in hopes of providing her with strength and comfort. A video of the performance went viral, touching many viewers online.
