Recently, the topic of # doctoral thesis 900 words thank mother # rushed to the hot search.

The story behind it has touched countless people.

A PhD graduate's heartfelt acknowledgment of his dissertation has gone viral on the internet, with him spending over 900 words thanking his mother. Some netizens commented that they were moved to tears after reading it.

Zhu Zhanwu, a 28-year-old PhD student in Cell Biology at Lanzhou University's School of Life Sciences, is determined to work as a postdoctoral fellow at Lanzhou University after graduation.

Zhu is a young talent with many academic achievements and honors to his name, but his journey to success was not an easy one.

Zhu was four when his father passed away due to lung cancer, and in the same year, his mother's company went bankrupt, leaving the family without any income. 

A year later, Zhu was diagnosed with the skin condition vitiligo, causing his mother to work multiple jobs to pay for his treatment. At one point, his mother was so overwhelmed that she lost feeling in her legs on her way to work.

Despite their hardships, the mother and son supported each other. Zhu wrote in his acknowledgment that his mother sacrificed her own needs for him, ensuring that he had one egg and 250 grams of milk every day. "My mother said she wanted me to grow tall and strong, and become an upright person in the future," wrote Zhu.

In addition to his mother, Zhu expressed his gratitude towards his supervisor, Professor Cheng Bo, who showed care and support for his academic and personal life.

May Zhu Zhanwu continue to shine in the cause he loves.

I also wish Zhu Zhanwu's mother safe and healthy.
