"What's the matter, is cancer delaying farming?"
72-year-old Lao Zhao said loudly to the villagers while wiping the sweat from his forehead. Lao Zhao is a well-known farmer in the village, and although he was diagnosed with advanced liver cancer a few weeks ago, he still insists on working in the fields every day, as if his life has not changed much.
Lao Zhao's attitude surprised many villagers and provoked people's deep thinking about their attitude towards life. His story soon spread throughout the village and even to neighboring villages.
That afternoon, Lao Zhao was busy in the fields as usual, with his friend Lao Li next to him. Lao Li is a retired doctor and is quite concerned about Lao Zhao's situation.
"Uncle Zhao, are you holding on like this, can your body really stand it?" Lao Zhao stopped the hoe in his hand and replied with a smile: "Brother Li, haven't I only lived for decades in this life? Although I am sick now, I feel that as long as I can still move, I have to continue to do what I like." This field is my life, and I will not live long without it. ”
Lao Li smiled bitterly and shook his head, but he also understood Lao Zhao's character and choice. He began to explain some medical knowledge of liver cancer to Lao Zhao, hoping to help him better understand his condition.
"Uncle Zhao, liver cancer is mainly due to the abnormal proliferation of liver cells, which may be the result of accumulation of dietary habits, environmental factors or viral infections over the years. Although treatment options for advanced liver cancer are limited, we can improve quality of life by adjusting diet and appropriate supportive care. Lao Li explained in detail.
"For example, a high-protein, low-fat diet can help reduce the burden on the liver, while also avoiding alcohol and foods high in iron, which are additional strains on the liver," he continued. Also, maintaining a moderate level of physical activity is indeed beneficial, but also be careful not to overexert yourself. ”
After hearing this, Lao Zhao nodded, expressed his understanding, and said that he would try his best to adjust his living habits according to Lao Li's suggestions. In the months that followed, Lao Zhao began to pay more attention to his diet and activity level, and although he still insisted on going to the ground, he would arrange more time to rest, and began to go to the hospital regularly for check-ups to monitor changes in his condition.
In the process, Lao Zhao's attitude and actions gradually influenced the people around him. The young people of the village began to learn his agricultural skills, but also his tenacity and optimism in the face of life's adversity. Lao Zhao's fields are not only full of crops, but also full of laughter and hope.
One day, a young local doctor came to visit, and he heard the story of Lao Zhao and was deeply impressed by Lao Zhao's strength. After an in-depth conversation with Lao Zhao, he asked a question: "Uncle Zhao, we all admire your optimistic attitude and lifestyle, what do you think allows you to maintain such a positive attitude towards life in the face of such a major health challenge?"
Lao Zhao smiled slightly and replied: "Young people, life is to face all kinds of challenges, whether they are good or bad, you have to accept them. I believe that being alive every day is a gift, and being able to breathe fresh air and see the crops grow in the fields, regardless of physical condition, is a blessing in itself.
I don't want to let my illness completely define my life. Of course, I am also grateful for the support and care of everyone around me, who have given me a lot of strength. ”
The young doctor was deeply touched by Lao Zhao's words, and he expressed his deep respect for Lao Zhao and reminded him to continue to maintain proper activity and nutrition, and to undergo regular medical check-ups.
After this conversation, the young doctor recorded Lao Zhao's story and shared his example at a medical conference. Lao Zhao's story has inspired many people, especially those facing the challenges of chronic illness, who have found strength and inspiration in Lao Zhao's experience.
Lao Zhao's lifestyle and attitude have also gradually changed the village's perception of health and old age. They begin to place greater emphasis on physical health, learning how to find joy and meaning in life, even in the face of illness and other life challenges.
Lao Zhao's fields not only gave birth to abundant crops, but also became a symbol of hope and optimism, attracting more and more villagers and visitors to come to learn and communicate.
Lao Zhao's story proves that even when facing major health challenges in later life, a person's attitude can greatly affect their quality of life, and even the life attitudes and actions of those around them.
Through Lao Zhao's story, we not only see the courage of a person to fight against the disease, but also see how the community can face the challenges of life together through support and care, showing the warmest and strongest side of human nature.
