Cancer, a topic that is too heavy.
People talk about cancer discoloration, lest they avoid it.
But in China, there is such a brave group of cancer patients.
They walked up to the camera and told their story.
It took two years to form a valuable documentary.
There is a temperature and more attitude.
Today, let's witness their anti-cancer heart road together -
"Life and Death"
The film chronicles 16 true anti-cancer stories.
There is no deliberate sensational tear-jerking, but still let everyone "move", "tear running" and "crying a lot".
The Douban score is as high as 8.9, and more than 90% of them have given four or five star reviews.
But for such a subject, the score is no longer important.
As people often say, "Truth has its own power."
The protagonists of the documentary are at different stages of life.
Their illnesses and experiences are also different, but they have one thing in common:
Do not surrender to the sick.
Such extraordinary courage and willpower will surely inspire everyone to rethink the meaning of life.
Uncle Fish wants to talk about the most heart-wrenching group first——
Adolescent cancer patients.
The orthopedic oncology department of the hospital has many teenage children.
Before admission, the word "cancer" was too far away from them.
The pain of the tumor is easily confused with the growth pain of adolescents.
So, many of them inadvertently missed the optimal treatment period, and by the time they found out, the tumor had seriously deteriorated.
The first time Snow had surgery, he amputated an entire section of the thigh bone that had been eroded by the tumor.
She was only in her early teens.
In order to ensure that the new bone does not grow crooked, a steel plate is punched on the leg.
Four steel nails were chiseled through the flesh into the bones, unimaginably sharp pain.
And because Snow received many rounds of chemotherapy, the resistance was very poor, and the wound would be infected and suppurated from time to time.
In the three years since, the family has exhausted all their savings and exhausted their energy, accompanying Si Nuo to more than 30 consecutive hospitalizations, surgeries, discharges, and hospitalizations.
By the time he was filmed, the young Snow was hospitalized for the 36th time.
However, her condition showed no signs of improving, and the new bone had not grown since May this year.
The latest test results show that the tumor has turned malignant.
In addition to Snow herself, the most painful thing is her mother.
The situation is extremely unsatisfactory, with a cure rate of only 20%.
A few days ago, the death of a patient of the same age as Sino deepened her anxiety and fear.
But she still swallowed everything silently, cried in the hallway, and then returned to the ward and chatted and laughed with her daughter as usual.
She knew that she was the missing leg of her daughter, and she couldn't collapse, she couldn't fall.
Autumn Garden, who lives in the same ward as Snow, is a child in the mountains.
When he was young, he dreamed of coming out of the mountains and looking out into the outside world.
But I couldn't have imagined that it would be in this way.
His condition was much worse than Snow's, and osteosarcoma had destroyed his entire bone mass.
He was undergoing chemotherapy and was also told by doctors that he was ready to amputate his limbs at any time.
This boy, who has always loved to laugh, cried for the first time in front of the camera:
I really don't want to just be left alone.
His unspeakable parents could only hug him tightly, hoping to transmit a little energy.
In the operating room not far away, there were bursts of crying.
Mengfan was undergoing embolization surgery and would cry out in pain like this every time.
The parents waiting outside the door were like knives, but they could only crouch in the doorway and cry weakly.
Embolization surgery is to block the artery that supplies blood to the tumor, so that the tumor shrinks and becomes smaller, so that a series of surgeries such as cutting the tumor can continue.
At the age of 11, Mengfan suddenly grew a huge bag on his waist.
Diagnosis is of osteogloblastoma in the sacral area.
The tumor is huge, and it grows in the blood vessels, the most densely nerve area, and the operation is extremely difficult.
The Mengfan family ran all over the country without hospitals willing to take over, and finally came to Beijing to get treatment.
By this time she had begun to have an intestinal obstruction.
Because the tumor pressed the nerves, she couldn't even sit and had to go to the toilet on her stomach.
After two embolization surgeries, I was barely able to sit, but the last time I went to the toilet took 4 to 5 hours.
All of this is unimaginable pain for ordinary people, and they are still just children.
What should have been a relaxed and cheerful childhood was spent on the line of illness, surgery and life and death.
But fortunately, there is still the company of the family, supporting the children to grit their teeth and persevere.
In the gynecological ward, there are many young women who have recently entered society.
Yuan Chun, Kai Yu and several people because of their similar age, quickly became acquainted, and also set up a "anti-cancer girl army".
They were also pessimistic and desperate at first.
After a long treatment cycle, yuanchun also found cancer cells on the bilateral clavicle lymph.
This shows that the cancer cells have spread.
All treatment has to start all over again.
Kaiyu's colleague died two years after contracting breast cancer.
Every time she waited for the results of the examination, it was her most painful moment.
She was not afraid of pain, afraid that the doctor would tell her that she did not have much time to say goodbye to her family.
But the patient Sister Qi has been enthusiastically encouraging them.
She has undergone more than 50 stages of chemotherapy and is far more serious than they are.
But she did not mean to be knocked down by illness at all, "hair is not left, spirit is not falling" is her motto.
It doesn't matter if your hair falls out, it's beautiful to wear a wig anyway.
Several people often communicate and talk together to soothe the knots.
Sometimes I also go to the "tree hole nest" of breast cancer patients to cheer themselves up.
Every time Kai Yu wanted to give up, she would secretly take out the child's photo and look at it for a while.
Her husband has always taken good care of her, and she has always looked into her eyes.
Although they are not good at words, the relationship between the two has become stronger after this test.
At the same time, this anti-cancer experience also gave them the opportunity to stop and think about their lives.
Looking back, they were always focused on their work, putting too much pressure on themselves and squeezing themselves too much.
I realize now that my body and family are the first.
If they can be cured, they will definitely spend more time with their families.
Take a little more thought and care about your health.
In the hospital, there is a group of "special" elderly cancer patients, who often gather together and yell strangely.
It's not practicing Qigong, it's practicing hiccups.
This is part of the National Cancer Center Vocal Training Camp "Esophageal Language" course.
These elderly trainees have their vocal cords removed for laryngeal cancer surgery, but they don't want to lose the ability to communicate normally with people.
So they have to learn a new language, esophageal.
That is, using the vibration of the esophagus to make a sound to talk to people.
Constantly practicing hiccups can help them find the optimal position and force to vibrate the esophagus and form muscle memory.
But this technique also has side effects, such as flatulence caused by continuous hiccups, which makes many elderly people vomit frequently.
Even so, since the start of the course, no one has been absent, let alone any late arrival and early departure.
They say that it is because of the loss that they know better what they really want.
Having lost his language skills, he was particularly eager and cherished to communicate with people.
So far, 53 sessions of the Vocal Training Camp have been held, and 1360 people have successfully learned the esophageal language.
Man's whole life is constantly lost, and what is rare is that it is lost and regained.
And, learn to accept and face loss.
Lao Luo was already in the advanced stage of colon cancer, and the hospital could not do anything about it.
He only hoped to alleviate the pain a little and complete this last journey with more quality and dignity.
Lao Luo's son is getting married, so this period of time has become more special.
Since his father was diagnosed, he has accepted this reality after the initial pain, collapse, and long struggle.
But his condition soon deteriorated, and his father could not survive his wedding day.
In order to leave him without regrets, with the help of doctors and volunteers, the wedding was held in the ward.
The father witnessed the most important moment in his son's life.
Later, the doctor told the family that on the wedding day, Lao Luo's pain level had reached 10 levels that ordinary people could not bear.
But throughout the wedding, he was stunned that he did not even wrinkle his eyebrows, always smiling, and sent the most sincere blessings to the little two.
After Lao Luo's death, his son found a pocket watch while sorting out the relics.
It was a gift from my father on my 18th birthday.
To his surprise, his father kept carrying it with him.
I still remember the birthday year, the young Xiao Luo casually put the pocket watch into the drawer, and did not pay attention to it.
But it was the year of his father's diagnosis that the pocket watch suddenly broke, as if it were a kind of telepathy.
And now, Xiao Luo decided to send it for repair and then take it with him.
Let the father's time be extended here.
Many of the people in this documentary have been fighting cancer for years.
He emptied all his savings, underwent surgeries large and small, and struggled to survive countless times on the line of life and death.
And life is cruel, and the miracles in the movies don't happen to them.
Yuan Chun, who has been giving encouragement to others, has spread cancer cells;
Autumn Garden, who did not want to lose his legs, was amputated;
In order to prepare for tumor resection surgery, Mengfan, who underwent embolization surgery again and again, eventually lost his surgical qualifications.
However, they never gave up hope.
These warriors are ordinary people like you and me.
The National Cancer Center reports:
On average, more than 10,000 people per day and 7.5 people per minute in China are diagnosed with cancer.
According to the world's research results, cancer is showing a younger trend.
This means that it is not far away from us.
The story in the documentary may one day happen to us.
Cancer is terrible, but fear can't dispel it.
What supports these patients all the way is the purest enthusiasm for life and life.
I want to live, I want to have a future.
So, even if God made a joke, they were not discouraged.
Instead, make yourself stronger than ever, and fight.
Perhaps, the desired result may not always be ushered in, but every step taken is real.
Death is the end of every life.
It is precisely because of the existence of death that the meaning of life is more precious.
From today on, live without fear of death and seriously.
As the title conveys to us:
Born, never ending.
