After 20 years, however, the kidneys Lin Ching-hua received gradually stopped functioning and had to be taken out. Doctors removed them in February of this year and she temporarily had to again rely on dialysis. Fortunately, in April of this year she got another transplant opportunity.
可是，當初林清華體內所移植的腎臟，經過廿年後，功能漸漸衰退，今年二月由醫師取出後暫時倚賴洗腎維生，很幸運地，到了四月中，她又等到另一枚腎臟移植的機會。
