The question of which of living or dying requires more courage is an unanswered question.
The topic of life and death has always been a taboo of Chinese, but not facing it does not mean that it will not happen, people are inherently dead, life and death is only a game in the world in the end.
For such a person, if it is too painful to live, it is better to die with dignity, and declare to the God of Death that his mission on earth has been achieved, without fear or regret.
In February 2019, a video circulated on the Internet, the video shot to the end, without a single conversion, it is clear that this video is just to record something.
What exactly does it record?
Fu Daren
In the shot sits a group of people, dressed in dark formal clothes, with a solemn look, singing and chatting for a while, trying to create a cheerful atmosphere that is completely incompatible with them.
The old man in the middle was smiling, and the eyes of everyone else rushed to him, and it was obvious that he was the protagonist of this video.
After a while, a woman's voice came from outside the video: "Are you ready?" The old man replied, "All right."
After a few seconds, the old man took something similar to the medicine handed by the woman and jokingly said, "Swallow it in one bite?" Is it okay to have two bites? The crowd was silent about it.
Then he swallowed four mouthfuls in a row, and everyone sang the carol, and in three minutes or so, the old man fell into his son's arms and closed his eyes peacefully.
Fu Daren received a fragment of euthanasia
The video came to an abrupt halt, yes, this slightly "eerie" video, which recorded the old man's euthanasia, was also the last moment of his life.
Euthanasia, it is estimated that many people are seeing the real execution scene for the first time, so who is this person?
He is Fu Daren, a famous taiwanese sports program anchor, who died at the age of 85 when he left.
He chose euthanasia because he was already suffering from cancer and was the first person in Asia to go to Switzerland to perform euthanasia.
Mr. Fu Daren
When all netizens saw this moment, they admired the old man's courage to face death, and I admired his arrangement for his life even more.
His sobriety about the world is far more than this moment.
Survive the storm
Fu Daren was born on April 3, 1933 in Jinan, Shandong Province, and his mother died early when he was very young.
In that turbulent era, Fu Zhonggui, the father of the Chinese National Revolutionary Army, had a great national mission and had no time to take care of his son, so he entrusted his relatives to take care of him.
Therefore, Fu Daren did not have much impression of his father, only that he rarely had time to see him.
Fu Zhonggui was a major general in the army, and because of his rich combat achievements, he was awarded many military ranks such as senior general.
Chinese National Revolutionary Army
In 1938, Fu Zhonggui, as the commander-in-chief of the Lubei Guerrilla Army, fought on the anti-Japanese front and died heroically by the Yellow River, Fu Daren was only five years old at the time, and he had nothing about it.
Fu Daren was entrusted to be taken care of by his aunt at that time, fortunately, his aunt was very kind to him, always took him with him, even if the economy was tight, he insisted that Fu Daren finish primary school, but the road ahead was still like a rootless flutter.
In 1945, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Ms. Song Meiling established the National Revolutionary Army Relics School in Nanjing, and began to enroll students in 1946, the enrollment target was the children of the revolutionary army, and Fu Daren was obviously listed.

In this school, everyone is in the same situation, and there are families behind them that have been torn apart by the war, and Fu Daren is no longer so lonely.
The school manages to eat and live, and now there is no worry about food and clothing, and there is a fixed place, and Fu Daren has spent several years of relatively happy time here.
In 1948, the Kuomintang troops lost one after another and retreated to Taiwan, and the teachers and students of the school were transported to Taiwan in batches, when Fu Daren was only 15 years old.

When he arrived in Taiwan, Fu Daren had no relatives and no reason, fortunately he could receive living expenses from the Taiwan government every year, although it was not much, but it was enough to live.
School was Fu Daren's only residence, and learning became the only thing he could do.
Fu Daren studied hard in school and performed well, he firmly believed that knowledge could make his life more stable, and he was admitted to college in one fell swoop.
During college, Fu Daren was a tall man of more than one meter and eighty meters, and was immediately photographed by the school basketball team, and he gradually showed extraordinary talent, and also liked basketball, and at the age of 25, he became a formal basketball player.
Wanting to do everything well is probably just his most basic requirement for himself.
Fu Daren when he was young
Since he fell in love with playing basketball, he had to play some results, Fu Daren wanted to play professional basketball games, he trained hard, and finally began to emerge in basketball games.
Career and personal charisma
Fu Darren played for Taiwan, led the team to the championship, and in 1958, his team won the silver medal at the third Tokyo Asian Games.
After a few years, Fu Daren successfully retired and decided to retire to the second line, but still chose to contribute to the cause of basketball.
Fu Daren began to work as a civilian, and he became a sports news anchor, a sports event commentator, and often broadcast major sports events.

In this transformation, Fu Daren is undoubtedly successful, and his subsequent hosting career is far more exciting than his sports career.

For a time, he became a celebrity in the sports news world, with a large audience of iron fans, and then joined the Taiwan television station as a sports commentator.

Fu Daren publicly expressed his patriotic attitude more than once, and the people on the mainland spread such a sentence at that time: "Song Shixiong of the mainland, Fu Daren of Taiwan."
Fu Daren also personally went to the Yellow River many times to look for his father's remains, but he never found anything, he knew that his father was a hero of the anti-Japanese resistance, but all he knew was that.
Fu Daren learned in 2013 that the Taipei Martyrs' Shrine enshrined his father's monument, and he went to worship him for the first time, and on January 22, 2014, he led the whole family to worship his father.

He expressed his patriotic determination in front of his father's monument, the so-called "tiger father without a dog", as a descendant of the anti-Japanese generals, Fu Daren knew where his roots were and where his heart should go.
Unfortunately, I have cancer and struggle with the disease
In 2016, Fu Daren was 83 years old, one day he suddenly had a high fever, has not retreated, his family urgently sent him to the hospital, found that it was a bile duct obstruction, need to temporarily install a stent treatment, no big problem.
The family breathed a sigh of relief, and Fu Daren also relaxed his heart and actively cooperated with the operation.
However, while changing the stent, he was suddenly diagnosed with a more serious problem and he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
Fu Daren and his family
For a moment, the whole family seemed to be shrouded in dark clouds, and everyone had no smile on their faces, only he himself was still smiling hard, trying to make everyone happy.
He said that he would actively cooperate with the treatment and would not give up, but the disease did not show mercy to his subordinates.
When no one was around, he often cried out in pain, and in a short period of time, Fu Daren was already thin, his weight had lost more than twenty pounds, and his posture was no longer so straight.
For his day-by-day changes, he is obviously the one who knows best.
Fu Daren in his later years
Until one day, he suddenly decided to show his hand to fate, he wanted to take the last time, in his own hands, to control time, to dominate freedom, to control when he left.
Fu Daren proposed to his family that he wanted to leave in a euthanasia method, and the family was shocked, and everyone hugged and cried bitterly.
His son Fu Junhao hugged his father and desperately advised him not to give up on himself and not to give up on everyone, Fu Daren saw the first time he was soft-hearted, and personally overturned the determination that had been silently established in his heart for a long time, and he dispelled this idea.
Fu Daren and his son
In order to find a way to keep his father, let him have something to do, and not think blindly, Fu Junhao proposed to let his father write a memoir of his own, as well as open a painting exhibition.
This went on for a while, and Fu Daren did have something to do every day, but the pain caused by cancer was increasing day by day, and the so-called "psychological therapy" did not work every time, everyone worked.
Fu Daren once again had that idea, this time, he really couldn't stand it, he once again consulted with his family, seeing Fu Daren so painful, everyone began to understand him and support him.
Fu Daren made a request to the Taiwanese government for euthanasia, he was ready, but the government did not approve, based on the social rationality of this "suicide" method, the Attitude of the Taiwanese government is still reserved.
Fu Daren was even more desperate at this time, even death was so difficult, did he really have to be tortured and arranged?
Judging from his current physical condition, all this seems hopeless.
Brave to say goodbye to the world
A person who has always refused to accept defeat, even if the opponent is fate, will not easily give in.

Fu Daren's physical condition is worse than a day, and now he has lost about 90 pounds, and his life has become unable to take care of himself.
Switzerland is currently the only country that can help other countries to perform euthanasia, although Switzerland makes a profit in this way, it is also a gratifying thing to be able to leave in such a beautiful place, Switzerland, at this time is Fu Daren's only "hope".
In 2017, Fu Daren made an appointment for euthanasia in Switzerland, but near the moment, Fu Daren flinched, he was reluctant to be a family member, reluctant to his son, and cancelled it once.
Fu Daren beat the spirit to attend his son's wedding
In the face of death, no one can really be fearless, even though he has been looking forward to it for a long time.
In 2018, Vordern again made a request to the Swiss Dignity Institution, at this time, Fu Daren's illness had reached the end of his illness, and on June 2, the family flew to Switzerland to prepare for everything.
On June 6, Fu Darren recorded a 124-second monologue video.
In the video, he says goodbye to everyone, and finally he says, "I follow God's instructions, tomorrow I will go to His feet and follow Him, and I will be called by the Lord to rest in the Lord's arms."
The video was uploaded online on the same day, and netizens paid tribute to him at the bottom of the video.
On June 7, the day that Fu Daren personally chose, the family came to the Dignity Institution as promised, and in order to commemorate him, the family decided to record his last moment with the camera, which was also agreed by Fu Daren.
The family sat together, the room was full of cakes and flowers, Fu Daren's left hand side was his wife who had been together for decades, and on the right hand side was his favorite son, everyone sang for Fu Daren, chatted with him, and tried their best to create a relaxed atmosphere, just like at home.
Everyone poured tears into their hearts, Fu Daren was happy and relaxed for a long time at this moment, he pretended to be calm, but his hand was shaking uncontrollably, all this was looked at by the son, the son held his hand, and the father and son looked at each other and smiled.
Before Fu Daren died
Fu Daren seemed to have gained strength, and he said to the staff, "When will it start?" The staff member took the medicine on time and asked him: "Are you ready?" Fu Daren replied calmly: "Okay."
He took the medicine from the staff member and took it up, and he joked, "Swallow it in one gulp?" Is it okay to have two bites? Obviously, such an answer does not require an answer.
Before drinking the medicine, Fu Daren said his last words: "Goodbye, Farewell so long"!
He took four sips in a row, his wife tearfully applauded him and said he was great, and his son whispered in his ear, "Dad, we love you."
Less than three minutes after drinking the medicine, Fu Daren fell into his son's arms and ended it all peacefully, without shedding a single tear the whole time.
In February 2019, the family decided to make public Fu Daren's last picture to tell the world about the bravery and regret of the old man.
The regret of the old man is that the final destination can only be a foreign land, Fu Daren has loved the country all his life, loved his hometown, and made arrangements for his life.
He planned for the future when he was able, and his heart always adhered to the position of the descendants of the martyrs, loving the cause, loving the family, and loving life.
Fu Daren said goodbye to the audience
He had lived so hard, from a person, to a full house of children and grandchildren, and now a person laughing and walking, even though he was liberated, but the place could not be chosen by himself, which was the most helpless regret.
As the video spread, people began to notice euthanasia as a way of dying.
Euthanasia, which means happy death in Greek, a death without pain, is as ignorant and unconscious as when we are born.
Euthanasia is fully legal in Switzerland, and as the last thing you can do in life for yourself, euthanasia is about the effect and feeling.
Sarco
Switzerland recently launched a new euthanasia machine, called Sarco, which looks like a capsule and dies by reducing the oxygen content in the cabin to 1%.
There is no pain in the process, there is no feeling of suffocation, the whole process only takes 30 seconds, also known as the "one-click death" method.
However, the problem with this is that euthanasia is expensive and will become higher and higher as technology evolves.
Death, rather than courage, actually needs money.
money
What dignity is, is the territory that no one can infringe, it is the thing we should protect the most, you see, until the last moment, it is still very valuable, or the most luxurious thing, and it will be something that many people can't have.
Leaving in a dignified way is the greatest luck in life, and daring to compete with fate for the dignity that is about to be stripped away is the warrior in life.
Such a person deserves everyone's admiration.
