It is with a heavy heart that CCAI must inform you that our beloved Michael Wei Zixiong, CCAI Guangxi In-China Representative, has passed away. He was hospitalized suddenly on Friday, March 20, and he passed away early Monday morning, March 23, of an acute cerebral hemorrhage.Michael joined CCAI in 2000 and was honored to have served hundreds of CCAI families as they journeyed to meet their children in Guangxi, Yunnan, and Guizhou. He loved his responsibilities as a CCAI rep and was always touched by adoptive families who came to China from such a long way to bring an abandoned Chinese baby into their loving homes. Michael said, “I consider CCAI adoptive families my heroes.”
That was the email we received today from our agency. We are deeply saddened by this news since he was our guide in Nanning when we received our daughter. He helped us so much and he will forever be in our hearts and prayers. He leaves behind a wife and 8 year old son and CCAI has set up a memorial fund for them.
We shared such an amazing experience with you and will miss you always, Michael.
He helped our daughter every step of the way those first few days.
Michael helped Sydney Fu Xia to become a part of our family.
He welcomed her to her new familyThank you Michael for everything you did for others. You will be remembered forever.

I'm so sad! Michael was such a friend to us in China, he was so kind and helpful. Tonight we were watch NiHao Kailan and heard a song that Michael taught us to sing to our daughter when we got her. We immediately started talking of him and all he did to make the transition so much easier. Now I've read your post and am in shock :(
