A 24-year-old cancer patient in Foshan, China, requested two hours of companionship through a meal delivery service. The patient, known as ‘Little Li’, is battling a rare blood cancer and felt lonely during her treatment.

After her request, numerous delivery riders volunteered to visit and support her. Li’s brother is occupied with an internship, while her father works overseas to pay medical expenses. Before making the companionship request, Li had undergone her fourth round of chemotherapy.

The initial delivery rider who fulfilled her request shared it with a local rider club. This prompted others to visit her and provide emotional support. Some riders brought items such as milk, snacks, stuffed toys, and books during their visits.

Huang, a rider from Guangzhou, traveled three hours to comfort Li after hearing her story. He said, “I felt sympathy and empathy, so I wanted to visit her.” Another rider, Wang, a 60-year-old cancer survivor, sent flowers and shared her resilience with Li.

The story of Li’s request went viral on social media. It highlighted the kindness of the delivery riders who adjusted their schedules to provide companionship. Observers noted that Li’s condition has stabilized; she was discharged from the hospital on April 20.
