it's good to live

I always feel that people with leukemia are far away from me, and I even think that the probability of getting this disease is too small. I followed a girl in Chengdu at V's house. She is a rat, only eleven years old, and has leukemia. She is lying in the hospital at the age of this trick, can't wear good-looking clothes, can't have good-looking hair, and there are too many things she can't have compared to ordinary people. This time, when I go home on New Year's Day, I see on Weibo that she can no longer be She was also fighting against the disease, and her last wish was to see her idol Xu Song. Of course, Xu Song himself also wrote her a letter, sent a small gift, and Songshu from the support club went to visit her. With the word 'empathy', we can't understand the thirst for life at all, even if we live a few more years, every time we see Kate in the movie smiling tenaciously, knowing that she will die, and she doesn't want her sister to donate her body to herself. Now, I will think of the little girl in Chengdu who is still living happily in V's house. Death is an inevitable process. When it comes to death, everyone will feel fear and fear. Me too, the little girl said on Weibo that she was smiling. She said that she was not afraid of death, but everyone knew that she also wanted to live well. Even if Kate finally left, her sister Anna felt that there was still a very delicate relationship between them. Although life is full of hardships, many times, I feel that as long as I am alive, it is fine, and there is still hope to solve it.

My Sister's Keeper quotes

  • [first lines]

    Andromeda 'Anna' Fitzgerald: When I was a kid, my mother told me that I was a little piece of blue sky that came into this world because she and Dad loved me so much. It was only later that I realized that it wasn't exactly true. Most babies are coincidences. I mean, up in space you've got all these souls flying around looking for bodies to live in. Then, down here on Earth, two people have sex or whatever, and bam, coincidence. Sure, you hear all these stories about how everyone plans these perfect families. But the truth is that most babies are products of drunken evenings and lack of birth control. They're accidents. Only people who have trouble making babies actually plan for them.

    Andromeda 'Anna' Fitzgerald: I, on the other hand, am not a coincidence. I was engineered. Born for a particular reason. A scientist hooked up my mother's eggs and my father's sperm to make a specific combination of genes. He did it to save my sister's life. Sometimes I wonder what would have happened if Kate had been healthy. I'd probably still be up in heaven or wherever, waiting to be attached to a body down here on Earth. But coincidence or not, I'm here.

  • Andromeda 'Anna' Fitzgerald: I want to sue my parents for the right to my own body.

    Campbell Alexander: Would you repeat that, please?

    Andromeda 'Anna' Fitzgerald: I want to sue my parents for the right to my own body. My sister has leukemia. They're trying to force me to give her my body parts.

    Campbell Alexander: You're supposed to give her a kidney?

    Andromeda 'Anna' Fitzgerald: She's been in renal failure for months now.

    Campbell Alexander: Well, no one can force you to donate if you don't want to, can they?

    Andromeda 'Anna' Fitzgerald: They think they can. I'm under 18, they're my legal guardians.

    Campbell Alexander: They can't do that.

    Andromeda 'Anna' Fitzgerald: Well, I want you to tell them, because they've been doing it to me my whole life. I wouldn't even be alive if Kate wasn't sick. I'm a designer baby. I was made in a dish to be spare parts for Kate.
