A man from northern China has shared a video record of his mother’s final 14 days, documenting her decline from an energetic woman to her last moments, the South China Morning Post reports. The man, identified as Gao, said his mother travelled to his city for medical treatment after developing a fever and a persistent cough. He filmed her arrival at a railway station on August 29.

In that recording, she wore a red coat, appeared in good spirits and walked confidently, according to the supplied material. The report says her condition then deteriorated rapidly before she died from sudden leukaemia. Gao’s videos have moved viewers online, although the available information does not say where they were posted, how widely they were viewed or what reactions they generated.

It also does not provide details of her medical treatment or the precise circumstances of her death. The account focuses on the short period between her arrival for care and her final moments, preserving a personal record of an illness described as sudden and rapidly progressing.
