Cai Lei, a patient with ALS, is in an overall decline in health and says he is very close to death.

Recently, Cai Lei, former vice president of JD.com and an ALS fighter, talked about his recent physical condition. He said that he needed someone to support him from getting up to the bathroom for a distance of 5 meters. His swallowing and sputum coughing conditions have also deteriorated. Now his breathing has begun to fail. He must wear a ventilator all night. His body muscles have declined across the board. He bluntly said, "I am very close to death."

His wife Duan Rui claims to be a pessimistic person. She knows that the probability of overcoming ALS is very slim. She even does not believe that a drug can be developed before the end of Cai Lei's life. However, she still accompanies him, even if it is wrong.

When asked what would happen to her if Cai Lei was gone, she only said two words: "forever".

This simple but powerful answer is full of affection and determination. Duan Rui has made all preparations for the rest of her life, and her "forever" belongs only to Cai Lei.
