Internet users in China are posing with "#D-Strong" signs on the Great Wall to help an 8-year-old US cancer sufferer realize his dream of being famous.

Dorian Murray, of Westerly, Rhode Island, in the United States, has been dreaming about being famous in China and seeing the Great Wall, which he called "the bridge" that people walk on.

Dorian has been fighting rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare pediatric cancer, since he was 4. In early January, doctors found cancer cells had spread to his spinal cord and brain, and the family decided to stop the treatment.

After Dorian's father posted his son's wishes on Facebook, many Chinese Internet users went to the Great Wall, carrying signs with words "#D-Strong".
