class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Dr. Huang Chieh-chi (\u9ec3\u4ecb\u7426) pushed open the heavy wooden door of the hospital room. The morning light flushed his cheeks, glinting off the silver frames of his glasses and catching the gray at his temples. He stepped into the room with practiced ease, careful not to let the heavy shopping bag in his left hand hit the doorframe.<\/p><p>As soon as she saw the doctor, Suy Ran rose from her cot and pressed her palms together. She greeted him with a slight bow and a \u201cgood morning\u201d in Khmer. The fatigue in her eyes hinted at how often her nine-year-old granddaughter, Sok Reaksa, had woken in tears from post-surgical pain the night before.<\/p><p>Reaksa now lay curled on her hospital bed, wrapped tightly in a quilt, her left cheek resting against a stuffed rabbit. Thick gauze covered the right side of her head, hiding the ear that awaited reconstruction. The massive vascular tumor that had grown over her right ear and surrounding area was finally gone. Every time Dr. Huang saw the young girl\u2019s smile despite the pain she had endured, he felt a renewed determination to do everything he could for her. This child still had a long life ahead.<\/p><p>He returned Suy Ran\u2019s greeting and went straight to the refrigerator. Crouching down, he unpacked the shopping bag, placing the items inside: a large bottle of blueberry yogurt\u2014he had switched from chocolate after Deputy Head Nurse Qiu Wei-lun (\u90b1\u8587\u502b) warned that it could make children restless\u2014fresh fruit, and cheesecake, Ran\u2019s favorite.<\/p><p>Since Reaksa began treatment at Dalin Tzu Chi Hospital in southern Taiwan a few months earlier, Dr. Huang\u2019s Saturdays had taken on a new routine. Before, he usually kept things simple, preparing quick meals for himself. But now, Saturdays meant browsing supermarket aisles, comparing brands of dairy products and snacks, and thinking about how to help a growing child become stronger and taller. Once he had made the purchases, he\u2019d stop by the hospital and restock Reaksa\u2019s fridge with his selections.<\/p><p>After putting the items away, he prepared to leave. Ran thanked him as she walked him to the door, bowing her head with her palms pressed together.<\/p><p>It had been 25 years since Dr. Huang joined Dalin Tzu Chi Hospital. Decades had passed in the blink of an eye. Now a senior surgeon leading the Plastic Surgery Department, he reflected on the patients he had cared for, the demanding surgeries he had performed, and the colleagues who had worked alongside him. Amid decades of surgeries and patient care, Reaksa\u2019s unexpected arrival from Cambodia felt like a test from heaven. Faced with a patient unlike any they had treated before, he and his fellow doctors kept asking themselves: What more could we do for this child?<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section

Other children, however, were not so shy. They would point at the vascular tumor and ask questions\u2014questions she could not answer. How could she explain a condition she did not understand?<\/p><p>Reaksa\u2019s grandmother recalled the first time she saw her in the hospital, as a newborn in March 2016. Her sizable right ear was very conspicuous. \u201cI told my son-in-law at the time, \u2018Well, she\u2019s already born, so be it,\u2019\u201d she said. Reaksa\u2019s father later passed away, and her mother remarried. Raised by her grandmother, Reaksa always referred to her as \u201cmom.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cWhen Reaksa was two years old, she went to South Korea for treatment,\u201d Ran shared, \u201cbut two months later she had to return because she was too young. Still, we held onto hope that one day someone would be willing to help.\u201d<\/p><p>Reaksa lived with her grandmother in her aunt\u2019s house. Every day, Ran would dig sweet potatoes in a nearby forested area to sell from house to house, or weave bamboo baskets, each selling for around 0.5 U.S. dollars\u2014just enough to buy a cup of street-side coffee, two eggs, or half a kilogram of rice.<\/p><p>That \u201cone day\u201d finally came in 2024. In September, the chief of Reaksa\u2019s village shared news of a free clinic being put on by the Samdech Techo Voluntary Youth Doctor Association (TYDA). Her grandmother brought her to the clinic, where it happened that the First Lady of Cambodia, Pich Chanmony, who also was the vice-chairwoman of TYDA, saw Reaksa and learned of her story. The encounter gave Ran a glimmer of hope that her granddaughter\u2019s condition might finally receive attention and treatment. Because Reaksa\u2019s condition was complicated, her case was referred to Tzu Chi for further assistance.<\/p><p>On September 27, 2024, a group of visitors from TYDA arrived at her home in Siem Reap, about a half-hour drive from Angkor Wat. They were accompanied by volunteers from the Tzu Chi Foundation.<\/p><p>Facing the group of visitors, Ran\u2019s eyes reflected both concern and affection. \u201cReaksa is mischievous but very sensible,\u201d she said. \u201cShe never asks why she is like this. She even jokes about herself: \u2018With an ear like this, I can\u2019t wear an earring!\u2019\u201d Ran added wistfully, \u201cI hope she can be like other girls and be pretty.\u201d<\/p><p>Where Reaksa\u2019s ear should have been was a mass of deep red, almost black, hemangioma tissue, extending from the temple at the side of her right cheek down to the level of her jaw and toward the back of her head. The tumor measured about 13 by 10 centimeters, larger than half her face. Each morning after she got up, she felt a heavy, pulling sensation from its weight.<\/p><p>Hsieh Ming-hsuan (\u8b1d\u660e\u52f3), head of Tzu Chi Cambodia, was among the visitors. He discussed Reaksa\u2019s case with Tzu Chi\u2019s headquarters in Taiwan. Within five days, Dalin Tzu Chi Hospital completed an initial evaluation and confirmed that they could provide the necessary help.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-136e2484 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"136e2484\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-26ff8c50\" data-id=\"26ff8c50\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1acba464 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1acba464\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5><strong>The first Chinese word she learned<\/strong><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2863fd5d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2863fd5d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>On December 15, Ran, carrying luggage for herself and Reaksa, took her granddaughter to Phnom Penh International Airport to fly to Taiwan for pre-treatment examinations. At the end of the week-long assessment, Dalin Tzu Chi Hospital staff brought Reaksa to an amusement park, where she rode the giant Ferris wheel and gazed out over the distant horizon.<\/p><p>\u201cEveryone cares about me. I feel so happy. I feel loved,\u201d Reaksa said.<\/p><p>In February of this year, she returned to Taiwan for a more thorough examination and treatment. The plastic surgery and medical imaging teams at the hospital determined that her condition was a congenital hemangioma. Dr. Huang explained that hemangiomas are usually benign and relatively small, but Reaksa\u2019s had not shrunk with age; on the contrary, it had grown larger. Because the tumor might be receiving a large amount of blood, a rupture would be extremely difficult to manage.<\/p><p>The medical team carefully reviewed available literature on her condition. After three meetings led by Dr. Chen Jin-cherng (\u9673\u91d1\u57ce), deputy superintendent of Dalin Tzu Chi Hospital, they devised a three-stage treatment plan spanning six months: embolization, surgery, and reconstruction. The first step, embolization, would block most of the blood flow to the tumor, reducing the risk of excessive bleeding during surgery. Though the team remained cautious, they were confident that this approach gave Reaksa the best chance of success.<\/p><p>The embolization procedure was successful. \u201cWe blocked about 90 percent of the blood flow. The remaining vessels were too small to target,\u201d said Dr. Hsu Huan-ming (\u8a31\u6853\u9298) of the Department of Medical Imaging, who had spent five hours performing the procedure while wearing a heavy lead apron. Relieved by the outcome, he and anesthesiologist Dr. Chen Min-ling (\u9673\u65fb\u9234) waited for Reaksa to awaken.<\/p><p>The procedure, however, left Reaksa in considerable pain. The embolization itself caused significant pain, and pressure applied to her groin to stop bleeding added to her suffering. What\u2019s more, a lingering cold triggered frequent coughing. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she let out soft sobs. \u201cYou are incredibly brave!\u201d Dr. Hsu said, carefully injecting pain medication, wiping sweat and tears from her face, and gently suctioning phlegm from her mouth.<\/p><p>The first Chinese word Reaksa learned in Taiwan was \u201cpain.\u201d After the embolization, she often complained of headaches and pain all over her body. Pain medication provided only limited relief, posing a significant challenge for the pediatric and anesthesiology teams.<\/p><p>\u201cEvery day, at 3 or 4 a.m., and again around 2 p.m., Reaksa feels especially intense pain,\u201d her grandmother said. Lying beside her on her cot, she would rise at the slightest movement to comfort her granddaughter. Nearly 70 years old, she endured night after night of fitful sleep for the child she raised as her own.<\/p><p>During his rounds, Dr. Huang noticed the pained expression on Reaksa\u2019s face. He stepped out of the room, his eyes reddened as he empathized with her suffering. He also observed that the tumor had swollen rapidly after embolization, like an inflating balloon, with blood vessels visibly pulsing. Though temporary, the sight was alarming.<\/p><p>The goal of embolization was to deprive the tumor tissue of blood, causing it to die. But because Reaksa\u2019s hemangioma was congenital, it was entangled with many nerves and blood vessels, including those supplying her scalp. Cutting off blood flow to these areas caused pain that medication alone could not fully relieve.<\/p><p>Two weeks into her hospitalization, Reaksa gradually adapted to the less-intense but lingering discomfort from embolization. Dalin, a Tzu Chi volunteer from Cambodia assisting in her care, gently reminded her, \u201cYour grandmother works so hard taking care of you. Don\u2019t call for her every time you feel a little pain.\u201d She encouraged her to be braver so it wouldn\u2019t be so hard on her grandmother.<\/p><p>One day, Dalin set up an overbed table so Reaksa could draw with colored pencils in her notebook. In about a minute, she completed a drawing: Two birds perched on a branch, their tails forming two hearts.<\/p><p>Above the birds, she wrote as she spoke aloud, \u201cOn the left is Grandma, and on the right is me. I want to take Grandma flying with me.\u201d Despite the pain and restless nights, Reaksa\u2019s spirit remained unbroken\u2014she was already dreaming of caring for her grandmother in the future.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a6467c7 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a6467c7\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c901a39\" data-id=\"c901a39\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c66cf95 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"c66cf95\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/11\/144-35.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/11\/144-35.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/11\/144-35-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/11\/144-35-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/11\/144-35-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/11\/144-35-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/11\/144-35-330x220.jpg 330w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b0fa8f7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b0fa8f7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Dr. Huang Chieh-chi, director of the Plastic Surgery Department at Dalin Tzu Chi Hospital, removes the tumor from Reaksa.

surgery, with two expanders implanted in her left thigh. This enabled her body to grow extra skin for a flap transplant following the removal of her hemangioma. The procedure brought new discomfort and frustration.<\/p><p>\u201cWhen the pain is too much, I regret coming here and just want to go home,\u201d Reaksa admitted. Yet once the pain subsided, she quickly forgot her earlier complaints and responded positively to everyone\u2019s encouragement.<\/p><p>One morning, however, the pain became too much for her to bear. Her cries carried from her room all the way to the nurses\u2019 station, ten meters (33 feet) away. The day before, a nurse had applied tape to her thigh while tending to a tissue expander wound. Because her skin was so thin, the process of removing the tape had caused excruciating pain. \u201cDo you want us to peel it off slowly, or will you do it yourself?\u201d asked Deputy Head Nurse Wei-lun. Shaking her head vigorously through her tears, Reaksa refused any help. She was adamant: She did not want anyone touching it again.<\/p><p>Through tears and a runny nose, Reaksa painstakingly peeled off the tape herself. When she was finally done, Wei-lun began disinfecting and changing the gauze. But it felt as if an invisible wall had gone up\u2014Reaksa\u2019s angry gaze followed her every move.<\/p><p>\u201cHearing cries coming from the room at the end of the hallway in the middle of the night is heartbreaking,\u201d said Head Nurse Xu Yu-zhen (\u8a31\u7389\u73cd). For a child Reaksa\u2019s age, the necrotic pain from the embolization combined with the stretching of her thigh skin from the expanders was so intense that even her grandmother could not console her.<\/p><p>From the very first day of embolization, the nursing team did everything possible to care for her. Beyond routine procedures, Reaksa was included whenever there were treats at the nurses\u2019 station or birthday cakes\u2014she always received her share. \u201cThe first time I heard Reaksa say \u2018thank you,\u2019 her voice was so soft and gentle it truly warmed my heart,\u201d Yu-zhen recalled. Even with the language barrier, Reaksa could feel the care and kindness of those around her. Initially timid, she eventually began visiting the nurses\u2019 station on her own to draw and work in her exercise books.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d37999d elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"d37999d\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-b003131\" data-id=\"b003131\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d55eaf6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"d55eaf6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/11\/144-37.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/11\/144-37.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/11\/144-37-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/11\/144-37-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/11\/144-37-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/11\/144-37-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/11\/144-37-330x220.jpg 330w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9b97a9f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9b97a9f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A surprise birthday party was held for Reaksa on March 28.

The upper portion had shriveled, its surface resembling parched, darkened land edged with a ring of pink. Even though February\u2019s embolization had blocked 90 percent of the vessels, blood flow remained substantial. To further reduce the risk of bleeding, he decided that a second embolization should be performed before proceeding with surgery to remove the tumor. The procedure was successfully completed on April 9.<\/p><p>Though Dr. Huang had prepared himself mentally, it had been a long time since he had felt such tension. Some nights, sleep eluded him as he worried about massive bleeding and weighed every possible approach. Again and again, he ran through the steps in his mind\u2014how to remove the tumor and how to reconstruct the ear.<\/p><p>Having carefully prepared and strengthened his resolve to remove the tumor and stop the bleeding as quickly as possible, Dr. Huang was ready. On April 16, he entered the operating room with clarity of mind. With Dr. Zhuang Jun-qi (\u838a\u6fec\u7948) assisting, he removed the tumor. By 10:30 a.m., the mass that had burdened Reaksa since birth was gone. The faith in her doctor that Reaksa had expressed at her birthday party had not been misplaced.<\/p><p>In what felt like an extra blessing, Dr. Huang discovered during the surgery that the girl\u2019s ear cartilage could be separated from the tumor and preserved. Reaksa had her own ear all along; though smaller and misshapen, it was still hers. \u201cWhat her mother gave her is better than anything I could create,\u201d Dr. Huang said. \u201cThis is truly a gift from heaven.\u201d<\/p><p>Frozen-section analysis soon confirmed the tumor was benign, and the surgery continued. Dr. Zhuang identified suitable blood vessels to connect with a skin graft, while across the table, Dr. Honda Hsu (\u8a31\u5b8f\u9054) carefully harvested a flap of skin from where the tissue expanders had been placed in Reaksa\u2019s thigh.<\/p><p>As the skin graft transplant continued, Dr. Huang hurried to the crowded waiting room. With interpretation provided by volunteer Hsieh Ming-hsuan, who had come especially from Cambodia for the surgery, the physician informed Reaksa\u2019s grandmother that the operation had gone smoothly. Tears welled up in her eyes as she pressed her palms together in gratitude toward the doctor.<\/p><p>Six hours later, the flap transplant was complete. Reaksa was transferred to the surgical intensive care unit for observation. Dr. Huang expressed gratitude for the collective effort behind her care. \u201cIt truly takes everyone working together\u2014doctors, nurses, and volunteers,\u201d he said. \u201cWithout teamwork, we could not have given her our best.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-13ee1e5 elementor-section-full_width elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"13ee1e5\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9851561\" data-id=\"9851561\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1d4d7d2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1d4d7d2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In July, as Reaksa\u2019s ear reconstruction continued, her pain eased and smiles became more frequent. <span style=\"color: #808080;\"><em>Yu Jian-xing<\/em><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-86f14a0 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"86f14a0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-732535d\" data-id=\"732535d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-604c472 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"604c472\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/11\/144-38.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/11\/144-38.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/11\/144-38-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/11\/144-38-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/11\/144-38-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/11\/144-38-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/11\/144-38-330x220.jpg 330w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-e4bb04a elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"e4bb04a\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c89f120\" data-id=\"c89f120\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a902e30 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a902e30\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5><strong>No more sleepless nights<\/strong><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4cfe0e5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4cfe0e5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\u201cI want to go home. If there\u2019s no plane, I\u2019ll swim back!\u201d Reaksa declared. By then, she had been away from Cambodia for over a hundred days. Thoughts of recovery gave her strength, but periods of intense pain still left her exhausted and discouraged, wanting only to return home.<\/p><p>One day, pediatrician Dr. Liu Wei-li (\u5289\u744b\u8389) brought her a cartoon-shaped balloon, hoping to cheer her, even briefly. Around the same time, Dr. Huang stopped by with a new flavor of milk. He had never tried it himself but had heard it could aid wound healing. After greeting Ran, he quietly placed it in the fridge.<\/p><p>This time, unlike the torment of embolization, Reaksa\u2019s recovery steadily improved as her wounds healed. Dr. Huang recalled how she used to burst into tears whenever he reached for her gauze. Now, when their eyes met, her gaze was warm.<\/p><p>He held close her grandmother\u2019s wish: \u201cI want Reaksa to have two ears and look beautiful.\u201d Determined to give her as natural an appearance as possible, he returned to the operating room on May 7, May 28, and again in June for follow-up procedures, gradually shaping her right ear. By the end of these procedures, her right ear\u2014once dominated by a massive hemangioma\u2014now looked almost normal, so much so that his colleagues could not help but marvel.<\/p><p>Throughout it all, Reaksa never gave up. Her courage in enduring the seemingly endless treatments and pain finally allowed her grandmother to see her with two ears.<\/p><p>On July 9, Dr. Huang placed the final stitch. He carefully compared the lengths, sizes, and relative positions of both ears, scrutinizing every millimeter, knowing these details would affect her future appearance. Though this last procedure was relatively routine for a plastic surgeon, he had nonetheless lain awake the night before, thinking about how to make her ear look even more natural.

Though older than her classmates and unable to speak their language, her time at the kindergarten made the long hospital days pass more easily.<\/p><p>On the afternoon of July 3, she went with Dr. Huang to Tzu Chi\u2019s Kaohsiung Jing Si Hall to meet Dharma Master Cheng Yen. In her hand was a piece of paper she had prepared in advance, with drawings of people and Khmer phonetics beside them.<\/p><p>\u201cMy name is Sok Reaksa,\u201d she said, standing straight and steady like a young tree. The hardships she had endured during treatment had made her stronger.<\/p><p>The Master asked gently, \u201cHow old are you?\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cI\u2019m nine,\u201d Reaksa replied. The Master smiled and gave her a warm thumbs-up.<\/p><p>One by one, Reaksa pointed to the drawings on her paper and read aloud the words she had written. The Master observed as the figures\u2014doctors and nurses\u2014seemed to come alive on the page. Reaksa expressed her heartfelt thanks to the Master, the medical team, and Dalin Tzu Chi Hospital for their care. \u201cI will do my best to grow strong and help others. Thank you all!\u201d she said.<\/p><p>On July 30, she underwent her final surgery. On August 4, she was discharged. Through the selfless dedication of the medical team, the mindful support of Cambodian volunteers, and her own remarkable resilience, Reaksa was finally freed from the layers of gauze. After nine years of living with the tumor, her ear was finally reconstructed, marking the start of a new chapter in her life.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section
