A leukemia patient in Hangzhou, capital city of east China's Zhejiang Province, has recently realized his dream of becoming a soldier with the help of local media and fire department.

20-year-old Liu Zhuoyu's leukemia condition suddenly deteriorated this year, and thus he wished to experience what's like to be a soldier since he had little time.

Eventually, Liu successfully puts on an army uniform which he's been longing for and takes a photo to mark the monumental occasion.
