In 2018, one day, a Swiss medical company came to an eighty-year-old Asian man, the old man came here not to treat the disease, but to "seek death", want to get a "death pass", in layman's terms, to carry out euthanasia.
What is even more bizarre is that the old man came with his family, and this series of operations made Swiss doctors scratch their heads, generally choosing "euthanasia", many people came alone, and few family members accompanied them.
The old Asian man in front of him not only brought his wife, son, and several other relatives, a group of people here to talk and laugh, there is no sadness of "death" in the slightest, and there is no fear of "death" on their faces, nor do they show too much "reluctance" to the old man.
When the Swiss doctor brought a cup of "poison" and handed it to the old man, the old man drank a few sips, and then drank it all. Just after the old man finished drinking the "poison", the son next to him had long been unable to cry, comforting the old man: Dad, we love you... It doesn't hurt anymore...
Who is this old man? Why did he choose euthanasia?
This old Asian man is The famous host fu daren in Taiwan, he was born in 1933, Fu Daren's father is the famous anti-Japanese general Fu Zhonggui, during the War of Resistance Against Japan, Fu Zhonggui formed an anti-Japanese guerrilla group in the Shandong region, which once brought a lot of blows to the Japanese invaders in Shandong.
Fu Zhonggui was awarded the rank of major general by the Nationalist government for his bravery in battle; however, before he could wear this rank for a long time, Fu Zhonggui was unfortunately killed by a stray bullet during a battle with the Japanese army.
The sacrifice of his father made the Fu family lose its dependence and economic resources, and as a martyr who sacrificed his life for the country, the Nationalist government did not give any pensions and subsidies, not even a letter of commendation.
The top pillar of the family is gone, the life of the Fu family must continue, from then on, Fu Daren and his mother have lived a life of upheaval and displacement, he often has not enough to eat, and his mother, in order to make him full, takes some sewing and patching work everywhere, or does farm work for others to earn some money to subsidize the family.
The mother paid a great price in order to feed her children, and she had to work nearly 20 hours a day, and at the end of the day, she never slept soundly.
Day after day, year after year, in the end, the mother could not withstand the years of fatigue, accumulated fatigue into illness, because she did not get good medical treatment, not long after, the mother died, leaving her son Fu Daren living alone in the world.
Losing the protection of his parents, the young Fu Daren fell into the darkest moment of his life, and for the future, he could not see any hope, and even wanted to follow his mother for a while.
Once, when Fu Daren was about to drink medicine to find short-sightedness, he was discovered and stopped by the neighbor's aunt. The neighbor's aunt was a kind-hearted person, and she thought that the little boy next door was lonely and too difficult, so she came over to bring Fu Daren something to eat.
On this day, when the aunt entered the door, she was startled by the scene in front of her, and Fu Daren was holding a bag of rat poison and preparing to drink it with water. The eldest mother was quick in her hands, and quickly went forward to beat the rat poison in Fu Daren's hand, and then hugged Fu Daren and cried, telling him to stop doing stupid things.
The neighbors heard the crying, they all ran over, saw the neighbors came, the aunt told everyone about the matter one by one, looking at this poor child, everyone moved their compassion, everyone said a word to me, they all wanted to help this child, and later, the neighbors made a decision: can't let the baby just go like this, everyone takes turns to take care of him.
In this way, Fu Daren lived a life of eating a hundred meals and wearing a hundred clothes. Today to eat at this neighbor's house, tomorrow to that neighborhood to eat, the days pass day by day, fu Daren, who ate a hundred meals, although he was still very thin, but his appearance was good.
Fu Daren, who grew up gradually, also understood a lot of things, and he made up his mind: he must study well, only reading can change his fate and repay the kindness of the villagers.
Change is always faster than planned, and before Fu Daren can return the favor of the villagers, the Nationalist government has decided to retreat to Taiwan, in addition to those high-ranking officials and nobles, the Nationalist army has also taken away many children, all of whom are the descendants of sacrificed generals or martyrs.
Fu Daren was also included in this group of children, and in this way, Fu Daren came to Taiwan and studied in the "school of the remnants" established by Song Meiling.
At that time, Fu Daren looked malnourished, but he was very tall and athletic, and soon after entering school, Fu Daren was selected for the school's basketball team.
When the Kuomintang first withdrew to Taiwan, it took away a lot of gold and currency, so it was very generous and willing to invest money in the education system, and children with special skills in schools would receive a living allowance and scholarship.
Fu Daren is both excellent in character and athletic talent, and he can receive a lot of living allowances every month for daily expenses, and there is no problem in solving the problem of food and clothing.
In that era, such a life was also very good for Fu Daren, but he did not forget the "original intention" of that year, he wanted to study hard, get ahead, he also had to train basketball well, make a career, and repay his father and neighbors who helped him.
However, the weather was unpredictable, and when Fu Daren was 27 years old, because he was too hard in the game, his leg was seriously injured, and after being taken to the hospital, the doctor checked the injury and kept shaking his head. Fortunately, it was properly treated later, so that Fu Daren's leg would not be destroyed.
After Fu Daren recovered from his injury, he still wanted to continue to play basketball, but the doctor's words directly buried his basketball career, and the doctor said:
Your injury is already very serious, it is a miracle that you can be cured, but the sequelae are inevitable, I suggest you don't play basketball anymore, and you can't do strenuous exercise, otherwise if the old injury recurs, your leg will be wasted.
Fu Daren's career in basketball came to an end.
No longer playing basketball, Fu Daren's mind is blank, he really does not know how to go in the future, what kind of career he should engage in.
At first, he found a job as a basketball coach, although he could not play, but he could guide others to play, which was also a fulfillment of his ideals and suited his interests.
The ideal is very full, but the reality is very bone.
After becoming a basketball coach, Fu Daren found that since his leg injury, he was no longer suitable for basketball, even the coach could not be, because the underhands were all fiery young people, who disobeyed their own discipline and told them basketball tactics, and when it came to the game, they forgot everything.
In the post-game summary, the young players also always complained that the coach would only say, would not demonstrate, and did not have any basketball skills.
Hearing this, Fu Daren was very angry, but he could not vent, after all, his leg injury was there, and he could not demonstrate the action essentials to the young players on the spot, which doomed the basketball coach to be unconvincing.
Fu Daren's leg injury is also destined to make him say goodbye to basketball, even if he barely becomes a coach, without a result that can be achieved, the players will not obey you.
Fu Daren was a basketball coach for a month, and then he resigned decisively.
If you can't be a basketball coach, what else can you do? He thought about it, he had paid more in basketball for so many years, and he was more familiar with the basketball field, so he became a basketball commentator and also worked as a reporter and host.
Having several jobs, he can also make more money, and with the current situation, Fu Daren can only do that.
Although Fu Daren's basketball commentator, reporter, and host roles are all linked to basketball, in fact, he can no longer be regarded as a pure basketball player.
Fu Daren did not take these things seriously, for him, the work that can make money is a good job.
Fu Daren is handsome, eloquent, has a very professional background in basketball, he tells the game in the program, in-depth and simple, even people who do not understand basketball can understand his explanation.
In the basketball commentary, fu Daren's most powerful point is that he is good at giving examples in the commentary, joking about the game and basketball players with a humorous and witty style, and every commentary is a kind of enjoyment for the audience.
He explained the game with his heart, made everyone laugh with humorous and funny language, a boring game, after his commentary, will become very interesting, and the ratings are not low.
For example, there was once a game in Kaohsiung, the organizers invited Fu Daren to be the commentator, but the level of the team was average, the strength was not divided into up and down, and at half-time, neither side scored a few goals, nor did it have any brilliant moves.
The first half of the game was too boring, many of the spectators on the scene were dozing off, but the spectators outside the stadium watched it with relish.
Why? Basketball commentator Fu Daren explained this boring game very vividly, and he could also think of some interesting things that happened around the players to introduce these players and bring the audience's attention to the basketball game.
In this way, an extremely tedious basketball game, under the explanation of Fu Daren, the ratings soared, and many spectators did not come to watch the game, but to listen to Fu Daren tell stories.
Fu Daren not only does a very good job in the interpretive world, he also makes a lot of achievements in the profession of sports journalist, Fu Daren is not like other peers, for the sake of Bo traffic and "paparazzi".
When he wants to write a report about a sports athlete, he first needs to get a comprehensive understanding of the athlete.
For example, what this athlete likes, what special hobbies and "habits", after mastering these materials, Fu Daren then takes the initiative to become friends with these athletes, invite them to eat or drink tea, in the process of communication, tentatively carry out further in-depth communication, and finally interview.
If you can do this, normal people will be happy to accept his interview, so Fu Daren can get a lot of valuable information.
Fu Daren has interviewed many well-known sports stars, such as pele, boxing king Ali, Yao Ming and other world top sports stars, and even became friends with them. With strong connections, Fu Daren has achieved great success in the sports media industry.
To get to his point, money is no longer a problem, his monthly income at that time, can fully support his high consumption, he has a lot of savings, began to make a variety of investments to make money.
In addition to his profession as a commentator and journalist, Fu Daren's best achievement is his third profession: presenter.
Basketball commentators and sports journalists can only be said to have made Fu Daren famous, and what really made Fu Daren angry was the profession of host. After Fu Daren accumulated a certain amount of capital, he and his old partner Shen Chunhua ran a variety show "Everyone's Music".
Taiwan's variety shows developed very early, there are many famous programs, for a time, in the variety show circle can be described as a fairy fight, it is not easy to gain a firm foothold in the variety show circle.
Fu Daren's "Everyone's Music" debuted late and was not well known, so how did he rely on this show to become a hit? The answer is authenticity and humor.
"Everyone's Music" is actually a bit similar to Shanghai's talk show, but the talk show is not the main theme of "Big Everyone's Music", and this show does not even have any main theme, there are singing, dancing, talk shows, storytelling... There are all kinds of performance methods here, and it can be said that "Everyone's Music" is a variety show smorgasbord.
Relying on the variety show "Everyone's Music", Fu Daren has become a famous mouth in Taiwan, and even many Taiwanese audiences feel that he is a generation of famous mouths, and his hosting style is unique in the Taiwanese variety industry.
In 1990, Fu Daren was also invited to Beijing as an Asian Games commentator, and the following year, he also appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, it can be said that at this time, Fu Daren reached the peak of his career.
Fu Daren, who has been so smooth in his career, how is he in life? In fact, Fu Daren's love life has always been criticized by the audience. Everyone said that he was good everywhere, but he was too careful.
Fu Daren had 2 wives and 1 lover, and his first wife met on the basketball court. At that time, Fu Daren was a basketball player, the girl was an audience member and a fan, she was attracted by Fu Daren's tall and handsome figure, and then the two fell in love.
After the two talked about love for a period of time, they both felt that the other party was the right person in their future, and after the eyes were on, the two quickly married. They all thought it was a dream marriage, but the trivialities in life kept polishing their romance and feelings, and finally in constant quarrels, they ended the marriage.
After Fu Daren's divorce, he didn't come out of his first relationship for a long time, until he met another woman in his life, a divorced woman. The woman's name is Zheng Zhengyu, who has a certain reputation in the broadcasting industry, and the two met for a while and then got married.
The second marriage lasted much longer than the previous one, and the two spent more than ten years together.
When Fu Daren was 50 years old, he was eating when he met one of his female fans.
This female fan is very young, only 17 years old, looks very beautiful, the most important thing is that the girl looks very pure, looking at this girl, Fu Daren's feeling of love has come again, under Fu Daren's fierce pursuit, the two fell in love and came together.
Soon, the girlfriend who is 33 years younger than Fu Daren was pregnant, Fu Daren looked at the paper after all, he confessed to his current wife, surprisingly, the wife did not complain about him after knowing, but took the female fans to the home, taking care of the female fans like sisters, and after the birth of the child, Zheng Zhengyu regarded the child as his own, took care of the child meticulously, and raised the child.
In this way, Fu Daren and his wife, girlfriend and son's family of four lived a happy and harmonious life.
The reason why the current wife, Zheng Zhengyu, accepted her husband's pregnant girlfriend was because she was no longer fertile.
Zheng Zhengyu and Fu Daren lived for many years and failed to give him a child, she very much wanted to have a child for her husband and let the Fu family have offspring. In this way, she felt guilty, and when she saw that the girl was pregnant with her husband's flesh and bones, she forgave them.
In this way, the family has lived together harmoniously until now.
One day in 2016, Fu Daren, who has always been very healthy, suddenly had a high fever, and later sent to the hospital for examination to learn that he was suffering from a blocked liver tube, however, after several surgeries, the doctor found that Fu Daren suffered from pancreatic cancer, which is the "king of cancer", which is very painful for patients in the later stages of this disease, and there is almost no possibility of cure.
Generally speaking, patients with pancreatic cancer almost all die slowly in pain in the later stages.
The doctor told Fu Daren that the operation could prolong his life, but Fu Daren proposed that he wanted to euthanize himself and let himself leave with dignity.
At the beginning, the family resolutely disagreed with Fu Daren's doing this, the old man was seriously ill, the children were not treated in time, and the old man chose "euthanasia", which was the greatest filial piety and the greatest insult to the children, which was contrary to China's moral code for thousands of years and was not accepted by traditional ideas.
However, his wife and children could not resist Fu Daren, and at Fu Daren's strong request, the family could only accept his suggestion, so the group came to the Swiss medical company to perform "euthanasia".
Why did Fu Daren want to die, because he was tortured by cancer too painfully, and all kinds of painkillers in the advanced stage of cancer were useless, and his body even lost only 49 kilograms at one time, a height of one meter and eight, and became a skeleton, and the pain suffered by people can be imagined.
The family members looked in the eyes and hurt in their hearts, but they couldn't help it.
Thus, there is the scene at the beginning of the article.
At the scene of Fu Daren drinking medicine, he did not have any regrets and reluctance for life, on the contrary, he also comforted his family, talked and laughed with his family, and when the doctor brought euthanasia drugs, he also quipped: Swallow it in one bite? Is it okay to have two bites?
After saying that, Fu Daren drank four sips successively, and the last sip he drank it all, looking at his father who drank medicine in his arms, his son had long been unable to cry: Dad, we love you... Well, it doesn't hurt anymore...
After Fu Daren decisively drank the desperate medicine that led to "death", he continued to laugh with his family until he lost consciousness little by little, and finally "slept" in his son's arms... The time was fixed on June 7, 2018, at the age of 86.
He finally didn't have to suffer from disease.
The old man looked at "death" very lightly, just the day before he drank the medicine, he also sent two small videos to say goodbye to friends and relatives and fans, and the audience watched both heartache and touched, and could not help but pay a deep tribute to the old man.
Yes, our people are too taboo about "death" and never dare to face "death education", while the elderly Fu Daren will always challenge this rule and become the first cancer patient in China to perform euthanasia.
