"If it weren't for the years of dysfunction, her cancer would have been prevented. ”
Health and wealth, what would you choose?
Ye Tan is a well-known female financial critic who was once known as a "financial heroine"!
However, in June 2022, she was diagnosed with advanced breast cancer, which has metastasized to the bone marrow.
Since then, she has disappeared from public view.
Nine months later, when she appeared in front of the screen again, her image was different from the heroic appearance of the past.
On the screen, she looks haggard, wears casual clothes, and wears a white hat, telling the audience about the "dark moments" of the past 9 months.
She said:
"Disappeared for 9 months and I entered a dark tunnel. ”
"I haven't made a video for 9 months, and now I'm just starting to shoot because I'm sick, very sick. ”
"I entered a dark tunnel, so bad that I couldn't work. ”
"I won't cry desperately like in the TV series, and I won't have any big expressions. ”
Since then, the "financial heroine" in front of the screen has become "Sister Tan", and her financial story has become her story of fighting cancer.

The price behind "busy".
In 1973, Ye Tan was born in Hangzhou.
In Ye Tan's body, there is no Lingxiu and graceful girl in the Jiangnan Water Town, but more so, bold and atmospheric.
After receiving his Ph.D. from Fudan University, Ye Tan taught at Fudan University and the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, becoming a university teacher that everyone envied.
However, with her adventurous spirit in her bones, she was not satisfied with the orthodox study life.
So, she still quit her job that everyone envied.
In 2001, with the rapid rise of financial media, Ye Tan became a financial commentator for "Daily Economic News".
Ye Tan, who is naturally strong, is very diligent, others write a manuscript a few days, but she can write 2-3 manuscripts a day.
As a financial commentator, her insights are unique and in-depth, and her writing is sharp and warm.
Her outstanding ability coupled with the rare female financial commentators made her quickly popular.
Subsequently, she began to open columns in major authoritative media and gradually became a pioneer in the industry.
In 2012, she set up her own studio.
In 2017, Ye Tan's studio has become a company.
As the leader of the company, Ye Tan did not dare to slack off for a moment, and she devoted all her time and energy to her work.
For nearly 10 years, she often went to bed at 3-5 a.m. and started work at 3 a.m.
With intense work, she only sleeps 3-5 hours a day.
For food, most of the time I also order takeout.
Even, she was so busy that she didn't have time to have children, let alone take care of herself.
Through years of hard work, she has achieved financial freedom and is worth more than 100 million.
However, she admitted frankly that she was rich, but she regretted these two things the most.

Two things I regret the most
It is not easy for women to start a business, and while they are successful, they must also give up a lot.
Ye Tan's "crazy" work made her ignore two major things - her body and children.
In fact, during the physical examination a long time ago, she was found to have breast nodules, and occasionally felt pinprick pain.
But due to the continuous rotation of work, she has no time to take care of her body, and she is also a bit lucky, thinking that bad luck will not hit her head.
During the epidemic, the company faced a greater crisis, and Ye Tan was also more anxious, doing live broadcasts 2-3 times a week.
At this time, the disease has actually begun to eat away at her body, but she is busy and doesn't know it.
On this day in June 2022, she couldn't hold it anymore, and after the live broadcast ended that day, she collapsed and was diagnosed with "advanced breast cancer" after being sent to the hospital, with a 5-year survival rate of only 22%.
After knowing that Ye Tan had cancer, she pressed the pause button.
She recalled: There are two things she regrets the most.
The first is that she did not listen to the doctor during the initial examination and went for a follow-up.
If it is detected early, the chance of cure may be greater.
The second is that she chose Dink for the sake of her career.
Ye Tan said that she used to enjoy her work very much, and she was worried that after having children, she would take away a lot of time and energy.
In her opinion, she earns enough money to live in the best nursing home when she is old, and the professionals are more attentive than the children.
So, she chose Dink.
However, life is so unexpected.
When she was sick and hospitalized, her husband was not by her side, and her mother and sister took care of her.
It was only at this time that she discovered the preciousness of family affection.
Now she regrets Dink's choice very much.

Don't wait for loss to know how to cherish
The disease took away Ye Tan's health, and even more so her strength.
After receiving chemotherapy constantly, her hair and eyebrows have become thinning, her face has become sallow, and she is still a little puffy......
Now she is beginning to learn to let go.
Let go of fame and fortune, let go of work, let go of desires......
She pays more attention to the present moment, slows down and enjoys life.
Listen to music, listen to Buddhist scriptures, and keep exercising every day.
The whole person has also begun to become soft, and she rarely shook hands with others before, but now she will take the initiative to hug her.
As she herself said:
"The affairs of the experts are handed over to the experts, and the affairs of God are left to God, and they are responsible for their own rehabilitation. At this moment, she can walk, run and jump, there are trees outside the window, there is light in her heart, she is so happy. ”
Whether it's health, time, or friendship, don't wait until you lose it to know how to cherish it.
The doctor was blunt:
"If it weren't for the years of dysfunction, her cancer would have been prevented. ”
People can't teach people, but things teach people once.
In addition to money, there are many things in life that are worth pursuing.
Some things, some people, can't all be solved with money.
For example, a healthy body, precious family affection, and a relaxed and free present......
There are a thousand ways to live for a thousand people, but what we can't afford to lose, and the most important thing, is: health!
Take care of yourself and the world will be yours.
Wind and rain by the sky, happiness by yourself, take care of your body, health first.
