Macchabée 2025 - A life derparts, a story remains

"Flowers of the Earth"—a beautiful and sacred symbol—is the theme of Macchabée 2025 at PCTU, where hearts filled with gratitude honor those who have silently dedicated their bodies to medical science. Flickering candlelight, delicate paper cranes soaring gently, and pristine white chrysanthemums placed beside the bodies of donors—all come together to create a solemn and reverent atmosphere at the ceremony, held on the evening of March 22, 2025.

This year, the ceremony became even more moving as attendees listened to the inspiring story of M.C., who made the extraordinary choice to entrust their body to the Department of Anatomy at PCTU upon passing.

M.C. was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy, a rare genetic disorder. From birth, they faced a relentless battle. Their family, with unwavering love, sought out the most advanced medical treatments in the hope of a miracle. However, illness spares no one. Realizing that time was running out, M.C., along with their parents and older sister, made a remarkable decision—to donate their body to medical science.

Attending the ceremony, M.C.’s mother, Mrs. L., representing the donor’s family, shared: "We chose to dedicate ourselves to Medicine, contributing in a small way to scientific research, hoping that future doctors will find more effective treatments—giving patients with this condition a chance at a longer life and the hope of rediscovering joy."

Donors have chosen to remain in this world in a unique way—by becoming living lessons, guiding future generations of doctors in their mission to safeguard public health. They have departed, yet their legacy endures. And they are honored with the deeply respectful title: “THE SILENT TEACHERS.” Macchabée is not just a ceremony; it is a promise—a promise made by future physicians to always cherish these invaluable lessons, to strive for the advancement of medical science, and to ensure that such sacrifices are never in vain.

Flowers of the Earth—those who have quietly sown the seeds of knowledge, so that the spring of medicine may forever bloom.
