In death you will never be able to help me

The pronunciation of doctors and professors is the same, and students and doctors are just as cruel as professors. You and I are both deeply fascinated by the endless depths and the research in public. When the flesh and the world come, I can no longer break free, and your holiness has become my worldly, just as the holiness I used to be is only the suffering of others.
The rabbit fell asleep, the rabbit ran away, and the rabbit said: Then I'll stay here.
You have two choices. Accept it. Although you are an uncompromising person, you still choose to give up. Of course, I will still take care of you.

What did you learn in school?

    Unlike a movie about death, it did not make the audience sad at the end, nor did it use the pain of illness to stir up emotions. Vivian's first-person interaction with the audience brought a little warmth.

    Production no longer serves us, but we are serving production. Medicine does not provide a broader living space for human beings. From a certain perspective, it only stipulates what we should pursue. When everything ends, even death loses its meaning...

Wit quotes

  • Vivian Bearing: This is my play's last scene Here... Heavens appoint my pilgrimage's last mile And my race Idly, yet quickly run Hath this last pace My span's last inch My minute's last point And gluttonous death Will instantly unjoint my body and soul" John Donne... I've always particularly liked that poem. In the abstract. Now I find the image of my minute's last point, a little too, shall we say... pointed. I don't mean to complain but I am becoming very sick. Very sick. Ultimately sick, as it were. In everything I have done, I have been steadfast. Resolute. Some would say in the extreme. Now, as you can see, I am distinguishing myself in illness. I have survived eight treatments of Hexamethophosphacil and Vinplatin at the full dose, ladies and gentlemen. I have broken the record. I have become something of a celebrity. Kelekian and Jason are simply delighted. I think, they see celebrity status for themselves upon the appearance of the journal article, they will no doubt write about me. But I flatter myself. The article will not be about me, it will be about my ovaries. It will, be about my peritoneal cavity. Which, despite their best intentions, is now crawling with cancer. What we have come to think of as me is, in fact, just the specimen jar. Just the dust jacket. Just the white piece of paper... that bears the little black marks... My next line is supposed to be something like this: "It is such a relief to get back to my room after those infernal tests." This is hardly true. It would be a relief to be a cheerleader on her way to Daytona Beach for spring break. To get back to my room after those infernal tests is just the next thing that happens.
