The photo that's moving strangers to tears.

An 11-year-old boy begged his family to let him donate his organs before he passed away from brain cancer last week.

And now, this photo of a roomful of medical staff bowing down to his body is going viral. 

China Daily reports that Liang Yaoyi’s dream was to become an inventor — but that as his cancer grew worse, he decided he wanted to become a doctor so he could save more lives.

“There are many people doing great things in the world,” he said from his sickbed, China Daily reports.

“They are great, and I want to be a great kid too!”

 According to the hospital, the kidney and liver of the Year Five boy were successfully transplanted on Friday to patients in need.

The viral photo was taken after the operation, when doctors bowed to Yaoyi and his mother three times, the Kindness Blog reports.
