Deng Jing, a 36-year-old patient with advanced breast cancer, was told by doctors that she might only have three to six months to live after six chemotherapy treatments, mastectomy and 25 radiotherapy sessions. At the beginning of the new year in 2024, she decided that she would no longer be satisfied with the life of swiping her mobile phone in the hospital bed every day, but began to try to share her story with the world through self-media.
Starting from January 2024, Deng Jing has fulfilled 15 life wishes, and her self-media account has gradually attracted attention, and the number of fans has grown rapidly. Although some merchants wanted to work with her, most of them chose to quit after learning that she would have to pay 30,000 yuan a month for treatment. Deng Jing said that she is reluctant to make quick money through self-media, and her purpose is only to record her life, leave memorials for her family, and prolong her life as much as possible.
Deng Jing's last wish was to hope that the anti-cancer drug could be included in the medical insurance coverage, but unfortunately, in the 2023 medical insurance negotiations, the anti-cancer drug DS-8201 she hoped for could not be included. Despite the difficult situation, Deng Jing's younger brother volunteered to be her photographer and post-production assistant, and together they hoped for a miracle.
Deng's story struck a chord on social media, and her courage and optimism inspired many. Her experience has also drawn public attention to the quality of life and health insurance policies for critically ill patients. In this process, Deng Jing not only realized her personal wishes, but also brought deep thinking about the value of life and medical security to the society.
