The male protagonist accidentally bumped into the mud due to diving, resulting in a high-level amputation. From then on, except that his mouth and soul can move freely, he is not much different from a vegetative person. Under the careful care of his family, the male protagonist lived miserably for 28 years. During this period, he wanted to be euthanized, but was blocked by the law and his family. With the help of his lover, he inhaled a lot of heroin before he got what he wanted.

It is more painful to live than to die: The male protagonist is brilliant, and he can still pick up girls without moving his body, which is admirable. Even if the mind is free, the logic is clear, the heart is more than enough and the limbs are weak in the face of the colorful world, all ambitions and dreams are empty talk.

Others can't understand your pain: The male protagonist's brother hopes that his brother can live well, because of family affection, because the brothers are connected by blood, he can't bear to watch his brother achieve euthanasia. This is the selfishness of the elder brother. In order not to make himself suffer from losing his younger brother, he is willing to watch his younger brother suffer all day long. The court has repeatedly rejected the male protagonist's application for death. It is not how noble the law is. The law is to make people feel that the law is always people-oriented.
