Zuo Hui, the owner of many companies such as Lianjia and Ziru, once became the richest man in China's real estate with a net worth of 220 billion, but passed away at the age of 50.
Regarding the continuation of life, at least the Chinese are no strangers, after all, there is a thief who can continue. However, Zuo Hui's life failed.
Many friends left messages saying that the intensive cases of leukemia deaths of Ziru tenants in the past few years were repeated, so they scolded Zuo Hui for retribution. I have a grain of salt about this statement.
In fact, there are many people in our hospital who are still healthy in their 90s, which is considered to be evil, and it is definitely far more than you think. Therefore, scientific issues are discussed from a scientific point of view, and this article is also of reference value for friends who have done a lot of bad things.
Lung cancer must be familiar to all friends, and it is now the cancer with the highest incidence and mortality rate in the mainland. As early as 2018, the number of lung cancer deaths in mainland China was as high as 740,000. According to the predictions of the World Health Organization, the figures for the two years on the mainland may be a bottomless abyss.
There is a saying that everyone is equal when it comes to cancer. Of course, it's certainly not that equal. But Zuo Hui's death may make many friends understand that no matter how rich they are, sometimes they can't change their lives.
Zuo Hui was diagnosed with lung cancer in September 13, and it was a little late when he found out, and then he lived for seven years. It should be said that this number is already extremely good. After all, the five-year survival rate of patients with advanced lung cancer in mainland China will be 20%.
Zuo Hui said when he was first diagnosed that he hoped that he could live for another three years, but in fact, if Zuo Hui could have found out earlier, he could have continued to shine and continue to be the richest man now.
This is the first point of this article, be sure to pay attention to the physical examination.
In numerical terms, the five-year survival rate for early-stage lung cancer is as high as 90%, and the sooner the better. Feel the difference between 20% and 90%. That's why it's important to have a medical check-
Of course, Zuo Hui's money can live for seven years, because most of it is only one year. Why do you have money to live longer? Because of the advancement of technology.
To take the simplest example, at the annual meeting of the European Society for Medical Oncology last year, the data of "K drug" was presented: in patients with positive PD-L1 expression (TPS≥50%), first-line treatment with drug K increased the 5-year survival rate of patients with advanced lung cancer to 31.9%.
Don't be inconspicuous, that's how technology is moving forward little by little. You must know that if you go forward fifteen years, this number is less than 1%, close your eyes and quietly feel the horror.
Some friends may ask why Zuo Hui doesn't smoke and gets lung cancer? This question is also applicable to many women. According to the World Cancer Report 2020 released by the World Health Organization, the incidence of lung cancer in women is already higher in young people than in men.
Of course, current research seems to be related to estrogen levels, which make women more sensitive to tobacco compounds, but the main reason behind this is secondhand smoke. Actually, I think all the readers of this article should not have a single relative and friend around him who does not smoke.
Of course, air pollution is also a major cause, but at present, tobacco is still the number one cause of lung cancer in mainland China. According to a study in the British Medical Journal, more than 80% of lung cancer patients are smokers, but 61% of women are non-smokers.
Why? Because of secondhand smoke. The former indicates the dangers of first-hand smoke, and the data show that passive inhalation of second-hand smoke is equally harmful. In a way, women suffer from it.
Why is lung cancer the cancer with the highest incidence and mortality rate in the world?
So why is lung cancer the cancer with the highest incidence and mortality rate in China? Because China has the largest number of smokers in the world, 350 million.
According to Cancer Statistics, 2018, published by the American Cancer Society, the overall cancer mortality rate in the United States decreased by 26% consecutively from 1991 to 2015. Lung cancer was the main cause, with a 43% drop in lung cancer mortality among men in the U.S. during this period.
The decline in lung cancer was due to a huge victory in the anti-smoking movement in the United States, where smoking was strictly prohibited in public. In the words of Otis Brawley, the leader of the American Society of Oncology, the decline in tobacco consumption is the biggest driver of the decline in the proportion of tumors.
So friends, quit smoking. According to the New England Journal of Medicine, if you quit smoking at age 34, you will live 10 years longer than if you continue to smoke, 9 years longer if you quit smoking at 44, and 6 years longer if you quit smoking at 54.
To be serious, many middle-aged friends are deeply troubled by impotence, and smoking has a lot to do with impotence.
At this point, this article is coming to an end, with two major themes: quitting smoking and active physical examination. I hope that the circle of friends will take what they need.
Finally, a little digression, although the prime minister is very poor, but he has seen many dignitaries and nobles, and I have summed up a little life experience from their words and deeds before they died: to love my wife more wholeheartedly.
To put it in that rough phrase: the money is not spent when the person is gone. Zuo Hui is a typical example. But it's not just money, they either play in the world, or compete for fame and fortune. If you hurt someone who shouldn't be hurt, you don't cherish someone you shouldn't cherish, and you can't do what you want to do anymore.
But repentance before death is of little use, because there is no time left.
So friends, love who you deserve to love and do what you want. You only have one life, don't let yourself regret it.
