Watching this movie was recommended to me by a good friend. His mother died of cancer. He said that he cried when he watched it. Another reason for recommending me to watch may be because I am a cancer patient myself. Yes, so he strongly recommends it. This is the first time I have written a film review, and I am not very good at writing it. Let me simply talk about it from my personal point of view, just as I vent.

First, let’s briefly talk about my experience. My disease is called (Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma). The lesion is located in the mediastinum, which is the chest cavity, between the two lungs, surrounded by large blood vessels. I was sick in 2009. Because I had a low fever for a long time, I thought it should be fine for young people. I received injections at the clinic every day, so I didn’t go to the big hospital for a complete checkup. I just had a simple blood draw and couldn’t get a complete checkup. Later, I took CT and MRI for a long time until the tumor was compressed to the trachea and breathing was difficult. Actually, the examination is much more complicated than in the movie. Any examination only knows that there is a tumor, but does not know its nature. At that time, I had a fever that didn't go away. The fever was in a daze. My family was anxious and didn't know what to do. Like a headless fly, the doctor did what he said. Later, after a series of chest punctures and lymph node punctures, to no avail, the diagnosis was finally made by a cut in the chest. It really took a lot of detours. Because the hospital did not have a mediastinum, I had a cut in my chest (it could have been There is no need to operate, directly enter the throat like a gastroscope to take a biopsy test). Then it was a year-long treatment. Seven chemotherapy sessions and more than thirty radiotherapy sessions. The hardships of the process will still tremble when I think back to it, but fortunately, I finally finished the worst of my life in an optimistic state of mind. For a period of time, it can be considered a rebirth. Now, as long as you pay more attention to your body and review it regularly, it is basically stable. Secondly, under severe criticism, our Chinese medical care is really bad. Hey, let's not talk about it here. Talk about the movie.

In fact, most of the movies are done in a comedy way, and some painful strongholds are not clearly expressed, but I personally think that because chemotherapy is really too painful and too tossing, and it can make a life worse than death. It's like being in purgatory. Every day is a painful suffering, especially in the few days after chemotherapy. You must protect yourself. Don't be sloppy, otherwise a small infection and a cold can make you say goodbye to the world. When I saw some friends around the hospital leave, I really felt that life was too weak, and all the prosperity was just a passing moment. No matter how brilliant I was, I felt that I was the poorest clown in the world, especially when I was young. It’s a pity that this point is not fully shown in the movie after experiencing this. Another point is that after being sick, people who have broken hands and feet, sweep the streets or take out the garbage, feel that they are healthy and happy, even if they are alive. Very hard, at least you can live a long time. Then, for all the relatives or friends around us, when we ask you how good you are, we can only use the word "okay" to describe it, because we can't find a better word. If you say "not good", you have to You have complained to your friends, but you will find that the complaints are unsuccessful, but you will be troubled because they can’t feel your pain. Maybe they want to help you but don’t know how to use better language to comfort them, and they are afraid Saying the wrong thing will affect your mood. In the end, it became really troublesome. Then I would think of the sentence "things gather by similarities, and people divide by groups". I don't know if it is appropriate to use this sentence. But at that time, when I was very sad and approaching desperate collapse, I felt that I only talked with patients.

Shaving the hair in the movie (in fact, when it comes to shaving the hair, you can also describe the hair loss after chemotherapy more prominently. In the movie, I shaved my head directly, without showing how to lose hair) and vomiting, my girlfriend betrayed, and drove into a car crash. Complaining in the car, etc., any little thing is very deep to me, at least several times the tears came out unconsciously, maybe it is the same, maybe the memory is too much to feel pain. The girlfriend betrayed in the movie is also very similar to me, but mine is more humorous and ironic than him. My girlfriend at that time was with a friend of mine, ha ha. In fact, I am very envious of the male protagonist in the movie who has such a friend (that is, Fatty Na Luo) by his feet. It can be considered that he can always be with him. Although he is usually very heartless, he actually wants to help. The protagonist shares the pain, seeing the book in his toilet the night before the protagonist's surgery, it explains everything.

I like the ending of the movie very much. It is very similar to my current life. I have a new girlfriend and a new job. But in fact, there are many sequelae in the later stage of the treatment, and they will gradually get worse. It may be serious... ...I won’t say much, maybe I defeated cancer, but in the end I lost to the sequelae. Chinese doctors are just like this. They only treat your disease, regardless of your life, and do not consider the consequences of using those medicines. As a result, some sequelae become lifelong and become an unchangeable fact.

Generally speaking, I still like movies very much. Finally, I want to say that the protagonist’s smile is very interesting. In fact, there are many things I want to say, but because my way of expression is not very good, there is a lot of content that is not expressed, so I can only do that. If someone doubts the authenticity of what I said, then go for it, because any thing is true and false, and if you think it is false, I can't influence you. Besides, no one wants to say that they have cancer. December 20th is my 23rd birthday, which is the day before yesterday. I should be 24 now. Next year is my natal year, the year of the dragon. Some people say it will be bad luck, and some people say it will be lucky. . I want to say that I was unlucky enough in the past few years. It is the worst years in my life. I should be lucky in my natal year. Haha, I don’t want to be more perfect. I just hope to live healthy and happy, and cherish every day of the moment. . Because thousands of beautiful futures can't be worth a true and warm present.

Now in 2015, I am fine, but on July 27, 2015, my 52-year-old father suddenly passed away with a heart attack. One thing that I didn’t want to face but had to face was a heavy burden for me. Shocked, very sad, very sad, I think it may take a long time to heal this scar in my heart.
