The story that Yu Gongmao, the "most beautiful teacher" of Wuhan University, was suffering from uremia and still stuck to the podium was reported by this newspaper and other media, which aroused strong repercussions. Relevant persons in charge of Hubei Provincial Department of Education and Hubei Provincial Education Union made a special trip to visit Yu Gongmao in Zhongnan Hospital of Wuda University in early March. Wuhan University also awarded Yu Gongmao the honorary title of "Model of Teaching and Educating People in Wuhan University" and carried out activities to learn from Yu Gongmao.

Yu Gongmao's touching story was discovered when the trade union of Wuhan University conducted a thorough investigation on the family situation of all teachers. Wan Honghui, chairman of the trade union, visited Yu Gongmao many times and provided him with a total subsidy of18,000 yuan and solatium. Han Jin, secretary of the Party Committee of the school, also expressed condolences to Yu Gongmao many times. Li Xiaohong, the principal of the school, kept abreast of Yu Gongmao's treatment and asked relevant departments and units to provide as much help as possible to Yu Gongmao. Wu Da Trade Union also launched a publicity campaign of "Touching the Luo Family and Founding the Soul of Teachers", studied and publicized a group of advanced teachers' morality figures represented by Yu Gongmao, and recommended Yu Gongmao as the winner of "Hubei May 1 Labor Medal". Teachers from foreign language and literature colleges also donated nearly 40,000 yuan to Yu Gongmao.

In order to facilitate Yu Gongmao to better engage in teaching and take care of his family, the logistics department of Wuhan University provided him with a temporary turnover room, and the personnel department also found a suitable job for his lover. Undergraduate colleges and foreign language and literature colleges have communicated and negotiated with Yu Gongmao many times, and the workload has been adjusted from 16 class hours per week before illness to 4 class hours per week. The undergraduate college also specially configured a high chair for Yu Gongmao, which was kept and placed by a special person, so that he could sit and teach when his physical strength was exhausted.

Yu Gongmao has been receiving dialysis treatment in Zhongnan Hospital of Wuda University for more than a year. The hospital organized experts to consult him for many times. He believes that Yu Gongmao's condition is stable, and the acute and chronic complications of hemodialysis are not obvious. He has indications for kidney transplantation and no obvious surgical contraindications. At present, Central South Hospital is actively looking for a suitable kidney source for Yu Gongmao to have a kidney transplant in due course.
