The mother of Internet celebrity Zhuo Jun suddenly posted a message using his account, saying that her son Zhuo Jun had passed away.It is reported that Zhuo Jun is an Internet celebrity who suffers from ALS. He was diagnosed with ALS when he was 16 years old. At that time, the doctor said that he would not survive until the age of 20. But his mother did not give up on him, and continued to take care of him for 24 years, successfully "extending his life" to the age of 40, creating a miracle.
Initially, in order to survive, the mother and son started making short videos and live streaming to reduce the burden on their family.
Zhuo Jun also relied on only three movable fingers to write more than 100 self-media articles in more than two years.
Data show that ALS generally refers to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, which is caused by damage to upper motor neurons and lower motor neurons, resulting in the gradual weakness and atrophy of muscles including the bulb (referring to the muscles innervated by the medulla oblongata), limbs, trunk, chest and abdomen.
In the summer of 2014, the “ALS Ice Bucket Challenge” (ALS Ice Bucket Challenge) was launched on social media. The event aimed to make more people aware of ALS, a rare disease, and also to raise funds.
The "ALS Ice Bucket Challenge" was once popular among technology tycoons and professional athletes across the United States. Many American celebrities, such as Bill Gates and Tim Cook, responded positively.
In China, many technology giants and celebrities have also participated.
