The kitchen has become a place for these parents to exchange information about treatments and their children's improvement, and a place they can find help when necessary.

In fact, it is not the first time Jia's provided unpaid help to the young patients and their families.

In 2018, he delivered more than 3,000 kilograms of vegetables sent to them for free.

To insure his son ate clean and safe vegetables, he built a 40,000-square-meter garden to plant vegetables without any chemical fertilizer or pesticides.

When the time for first harvest came, he thought of the children he had met in the hospital.

Now, Jia is preparing to build a greenhouse at his vegetable base.

"I hope the children can eat pollutant-free vegetables all year round," he said.
