According to media reports, Tu Men, who won the 2017 Golden Horse Award for Best Actor and Actor, died in the early morning of December 12 at the age of 61.
According to relatives and friends, Tu people detected advanced esophageal cancer last month, and the final treatment was ineffective, and it is reported that Tu Men's teacher walked very peacefully.
For Dr. Xiaokang, the biggest impression of Tu Men is that he spoke at the Golden Horse Awards ceremony in 2018---
"Hello, good evening, and it is a special honor to come to Taiwan's Golden Horse again as an award guest." This time I saw many familiar faces, came into contact with many new faces, and met many new friends, and I felt that the two sides of the strait were close to each other. ”
At that time, this speech forcefully countered some of the "Taiwan independence" remarks of the Golden Horse Awards at that time.

Esophageal cancer, what kind of cancer is it?
According to the current data survey, the incidence of esophageal cancer in China has increased year by year.
Every year, about 150,000 people in China die from esophageal cancer, accounting for about half of the world's deaths.
Due to a series of factors in living habits and regions, the incidence of esophageal cancer has also increased significantly, and the probability of developing esophageal cancer in a series of areas such as Hebei, Henan and Shanxi should not be underestimated.
This also confirms that eating habits may be an important factor in triggering esophageal cancer.
What are the early symptoms of esophageal cancer?
Excessive diet caused by damage to the mucous membrane of the esophagus, daily eating like hard food to strengthen the wear of the esophagus, as well as smoking, drinking, family genetics and other factors, are all factors that induce esophageal cancer.
When patients have symptoms of esophageal cancer, they will also have some uncomfortable manifestations in the early stages, such as the following.
1. There is a foreign body sensation in the esophagus, and it feels uncomfortable when swallowing food.
Suffering from esophageal cancer can cause a feeling of dry throat, which is similar to the dryness and discomfort of the throat when you have a cold and fever.
In fact, after suffering from esophageal cancer, there will also be inflammation and lesions in the esophagus, and accompanied by a feeling of redness, swelling and pain, so patients with esophageal cancer will also have symptoms of dry itching and discomfort in the throat.
Especially after drinking water, it is still unable to relieve the feeling of dryness and itching, and this symptom of dry and itchy throat is long-standing, and it is necessary to check whether there is esophageal cancer.
2. There is a feeling of dryness and tightness in the throat, and there is a feeling of pain when swallowing.
According to the investigation, when a tumor appears in its esophagus, it will also compress the esophagus as the tumor continues to grow.
As its tumor continues to grow, it will also make it difficult to eat, many patients will have a foreign body sensation when swallowing, and even in the advanced stage of esophageal cancer, drinking water will also have difficulty swallowing problems.
When the esophagus is progressively squeezed, this phenomenon of difficulty swallowing will become more pronounced.
3. There is pain behind the sternum, under the sword process and in the upper abdomen
After suffering from esophageal cancer, whether it is eating or drinking water, as long as the swallowing action occurs, it will cause pain.
This is also due to the cancer in the esophagus, which is more likely to be scratched by food after swelling, and the production of its tumor will also compress the surrounding healthy tissues and nerves, thus triggering pain, and this pain will gradually increase with the worsening of esophageal cancer.
As esophageal cancer enters an advanced stage, patients have problems with not being able to swallow and eat normally, and the digestive system gradually changes that affect the intake and absorption of nutrients, and even cough and cause respiratory infections.
When esophageal cancer worsens and metastasizes, it can lead to hydroperitonectoria, which can lead to life-threatening symptoms.
To prevent esophageal cancer, change is effective
If you want to reduce the risk of esophageal cancer, it is undoubtedly to correct your eating habits, such as not eating hot food, not eating pickled foods, not smoking, not drinking, etc.
These lifestyle changes, according to various studies at home and abroad, can indeed effectively reduce the risk of esophageal cancer.
So, the next time you eat, wait until the food is cold.
After all, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and the same is true for the esophagus.
