India, Sept. 8 -- A young Chinese father has captured hearts across the nation after donating part of his liver to save his infant daughter. The father, surnamed Shen, went beyond the surgery itself, caring for his own wounds at home to reduce costs.

According to a report by South China Morning Post, he was seen changing his own bandages in their rented flat following the procedure.

Shen and his wife, surnamed Tao, both born after 2000, married in 2024 in Ningbo, Zhejiang province. Their daughter, Yiyi, was born soon after. Within weeks, the couple's joy was overshadowed by Yiyi's persistent jaundice, which later revealed a far more serious condition.
