Son's Violin Farewell for Dying Mother
23 Jan
Summary
- Violin played for dying mother in Chinese hospital.
- Mother was a former music teacher who loved music.
- Son quit his job to care for his mother full-time.
A deeply touching moment unfolded at the Dongguan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Guangdong province, China, where a son, Huang Haile, arranged a special serenade for his dying mother, Ye Jindi. On December 31, 2025, a violinist performed the song 'Mother' in her intensive care unit room.
Ye Jindi, who had been diagnosed with late-stage liver cirrhosis in 2023 and later heart inflammation, was admitted to the ICU on December 29, 2025. Her son, remembering her past as a music teacher, believed hearing was the last sense to fade and hoped the music would bring comfort.
While Huang Haile initially hoped the performance might aid his mother's recovery, it ultimately served as a poignant farewell. He had quit his job to provide full-time care after her diagnosis, valuing their time together above all else.
Prior to her passing, Ye Jindi was transferred to a regular ward, where she died peacefully. The profound bond between mother and son, especially after his father's early death, underscored Huang's dedication during her final days.
