Seven thirty in the morning.

After Zhou Hai finished his breakfast, he looked at his father, who was slumped in a wheelchair, and tried to force a smile, "Dad, I'm going to work."

Father Zhou heard the words, turned his head to look at Zhou Hai with difficulty, and said inarticulately, "Note... pay attention to traffic... be safe."

"Um."

Zhou Hai nodded vigorously, turned around and walked out the door. At this moment, the young man who was still smiling just now suddenly seemed to be more than ten years old, and he no longer had that kind of vitality.

His thoughts couldn't help but go back to a night more than two years ago, in March 2018, the exact date can't be remembered clearly, when he was playing online games at home.

Zhou Hai still remembers that in those days, the mother of a friend in the game got cancer, and then this friend said that he would not continue to play games because the family didn’t have much money, and all he could do was to accompany his mother to do what she wanted to do Things, accompany mother to the place she wants to go. According to that meaning, after he finished these things with his mother, his mother would go home and wait to die.

Zhou Hai was living a carefree life at the time, discussing marriage with his girlfriend, and even thinking about how to ask his family for money. To that unfortunate friend, he both sympathized with and despised, "If it were me, I would have to go bankrupt."

That night, Zhou Hai received a call from his mother, and he was completely stunned by just a few words - his father had lung cancer. Although the doctor didn't say it clearly, it should be in the middle and late stage.

Frankly speaking, Zhou Hai didn't know much about cancer at the time. He knew that it was a "health killer" and that it was almost an incurable disease. But after all, it happened to outsiders, and they didn't pay much attention to it. Moreover, there are common reports on weekdays that a certain person defeated cancer, a certain doctor saved a cancer patient, etc., and there are more or less miraculous fantasies.

However, when he searched online, he found out that cancer is really almost terminally ill. It can be cured in the early stage, but in the middle and late stages, especially after the cancer cells begin to spread, it is truly terminally ill. Searching for various treatment methods on the Internet, I feel dizzy and dizzy, but I have no solution after all. Some people say western medicine treatment, some people say that chemotherapy is useless and we should use traditional Chinese medicine, or introduce some kind of magical remedies, such as boiled eggs with walnut sticks; there are also countless unscrupulous merchants who post advertisements on the Internet, pretending to be patients and bragging The magical effect of a certain medicine. If there is such a so-called miracle drug, anyone with a normal IQ will apply for a patent, and then they will get a prize and get soft, and their assets exceed Bill Gates. How can it be promoted by such advertisements? This is not only for money, but also for killing! He was outraged at that time, human nature has become so dirty and depraved!

Comprehensively evaluating the various claims, Zhou Hai found that there was only one choice in the end: go to a regular hospital.

It is well documented after all. Unlike others, no matter how good you say it, it is ultimately groundless.

The next day, he rushed back home from the capital. To his relief, his father's appearance had not changed, he was still as tough and his complexion was good, but his expression was obviously more depressed. This reminded him of a sentence he read on the Internet. Among the cancer patients who died, 1/3 were scared to death, 1/3 died because the patient could not tolerate the overdose, and 1/3 died because of the treatment. Ineffective and dead. As long as the mentality is good, even if cancer metastasis occurs, there are many people who can survive with the tumor for 10 or 20 years.

Therefore, in the following time, he kept encouraging his father, but most of the time his father just smiled. He knows that, as smart as his father, he probably knows many things better than him. Of course, hope is still there, they are all waiting for a miracle.

In order for his father to receive the best treatment, Zhou Hai asked his parents to go to the capital with him, to a tumor hospital with a good reputation.

Then, what he has to face is the huge medical expenses.

Like many Beidiao, he didn't save any money. For this reason, he could only borrow money from relatives and friends. However, it was really difficult to borrow money for the reason of cancer treatment. In the end, he only borrowed 50,000 yuan. 100,000 deposits, only 150,000 in total.

However, in just 7 days, the cost of treatment was as high as 100,000, which gave him an accurate idea of ​​the cost of cancer. Even if his father has medical insurance that can reimburse 50%, the remaining expenses are still a heavy burden for him . He asked the doctor, and the doctor told him that the cost of a one-month course of treatment with cheaper targeted drugs would be nearly 30,000 yuan. That is to say, excluding the reimbursement part, he would have to raise 180,000 yuan a year by himself. At this time, something worse happened. Because his girlfriend could not bear the heavy pressure, he proposed to break up with him. Although he was very painful, he also understood it very well. After all, everyone yearns for a better life.

His father also knew that he was very difficult, and insisted on returning to his hometown, which could save some expenses. Considering the reality, he agreed. At that time, he hated himself very much, hated himself for being a waste, a dignified man, who had graduated for more than two years, and didn't even have the ability to take good care of his father.

In the following time, my father received chemotherapy for one month and rested for one month. The hospital bed and the bed at home became the entire content of the parents' life. Every time he called home, in addition to comforting his father, he discussed the cost of treatment with his mother. Moreover, his father would cause him some trouble every one or two months: for example, he complained that the nurses were not good at giving the needles and refused to continue chemotherapy, for example, he refused to be hospitalized on the grounds of "black money" in the hospital. The whole family barely maintained the treatment in their own way.

Life seems to be filling an endless hole every day.

However, my father's condition continued to deteriorate. In March this year, after my father's examination, he found that there was still a tumor in the brain (it was impossible to determine whether it was the metastasis of the lung tumor or the primary tumor), and his condition took a turn for the worse.

Beginning in March, my father's ability to move and speak gradually declined. First, my left limb gradually weakened, I couldn’t move normally, and I walked with a limp; then my handwriting was not as neat and elegant as usual; Can't take care of themselves.

For this reason, Zhou Hai quit his job in the capital and returned to his hometown, because he had a terrible premonition that his father's life might be counting down.

Now, Zhou Hai dare not talk about his illness with his father, or even comfort his father, because he is afraid that once he says that, he will cry. Moreover, he was most afraid of waking up every morning, because his father who had cancer suddenly remembered in his mind, and he had to watch his father suffer.

The drags and blows that cancer brought to the family were far more than these. Not only did the father become more unfamiliar, but even the mother was obviously older. Got a stomach bug. In fact, she once suspected that she had stomach cancer, and she once told Zhou Hai that if she really got cancer, she planned to die with her wife, "Go clean and don't drag you down".

Every time Zhou Hai thinks of this sentence, the corners of Zhou Hai's eyes will turn sour, and he will also feel a deep sense of powerlessness, so powerless... that he doesn't want to do anything. However, he had to persevere, if he couldn't persevere, the family would no longer be angry at all.

In addition, he also saw a glimmer of light. Two months ago, on October 16, Zhang Wei announced that he had developed the "Future No. 1 Gene Injection~ Liquid" for the treatment of AIDS. After clinical trials, "Future No. 1 Gene Injection~" Liquid 'was proven effective, 100% cure rate.

From that day on, Zhou Hai has been following the news of Zhang Wei and Future Technology Company. In his opinion, AIDS is a terminal illness comparable to cancer. Since Zhang Wei can overcome AIDS, maybe he can also overcome cancer.

A few days later, on October 21, Zhou Hai heard a piece of news that made him feel very excited. Zhang Wei announced that he would conquer all terminal diseases of the century level, including cancer. At that moment, he couldn't help but get excited. Since Zhang Wei can overcome AIDS within a month, it shouldn't take much time to overcome other incurable diseases. At that moment, he was praying to heaven that Zhang Wei must conquer cancer within a year, because the doctor told him that his father could only last another year at most.

After that, Zhou Hai would search the Internet for relevant information every day after get off work, looking forward to it and feeling anxious. Before going to bed last night, Zhou Hai checked Zhang Wei's latest news as usual, and found that Zhang Wei went to Stockholm, Sweden to receive the Nobel Prize. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, because he didn't see the information he wanted to see.

After leaving home, Zhou Hai came to the bus stop and boarded the bus to the company. On the bus, he was still immersed in sadness. For more than two years, he has watched his father's life slowly run out, and he has been worrying in his heart. He doesn't know when he will never see his father again, and there will be no father in his life... He couldn't help but sigh, Why do people have to die, why do people have to be separated, why are there terminal illnesses like cancer!

Before he knew it, the bus had arrived. Zhou Hai got off the bus in a hurry, collected his emotions, and walked to the company.

"Manager Zhou, good morning."

"Good morning, Manager Zhou."

Along the way, many colleagues greeted Zhou Hai, and Zhou Hai nodded in response. Since his father suffered from cancer, he matured overnight and worked extremely hard because he had to earn enough money to support his father. When he was in the capital, he spent more than a year as a company Back home, he directly became the deputy manager of the R\u0026D department of the new company with his solid technology, and his income has also increased to 20,000 per month.

However, even so, he still owes hundreds of thousands of foreign debts, because after his income increased, he replaced the medicine used by his father with more expensive imported medicines. It can be said that cancer is a bottomless pit, and any amount of money can be swallowed. Most families will go bankrupt. The most desperate thing is that even if they go bankrupt, they cannot cure cancer. In the end, people are gone, leaving a pile of debts! This is why many people said, "I think every family should prepare cyanide~potassium. If I get cancer, I will eat it immediately. I can't accept myself as the cancer patient who tortured my relatives."

"Manager Zhou, good news."

A young man in his mid-twenties walked towards Zhou Hai quickly, and handed the mobile phone in his hand to Zhou Hai, "Zhang Wei announced at the Nobel Prize dinner that he had developed a gene injection to treat cancer~ , this drug will soon undergo clinical trials, and my uncle's illness will be cured soon."

"Give it to me quickly!"

Zhou Hai couldn't wait to take the mobile phone from the young man, and clicked on the news video.

"Friends from the audience, the following is an exciting news report. Yesterday, at the Nobel Prize Dinner, Dr. Zhang Wei announced that he has overcome the worldwide problem of cancer and will soon conduct clinical trials. Great progress has been made. From now on, cancer will no longer be a terminal illness, it will be as easy to cure as AIDS, which has been conquered.”

When the screen changed, Zhang Wei appeared on the screen, and Zhang Wei said, "Everyone, I'm sorry, I forgot to announce something just now. I have developed a gene injection for cancer treatment. This drug is very effective. Clinical trials are coming soon."

"Really? It's true!"

Zhou Hai was so excited that he almost cried. After persisting for so long, he finally came to the light. After a long time, he came back to his senses and returned the phone to the other party. Then he immediately took out his phone and called the leader to ask for leave. He wants to return home in the shortest possible time and personally tell his parents the good news.

The moment he walked out of the building, Zhou Hai felt the warm sunshine and felt that the world was extremely beautiful.

He secretly said in his heart, "Dr. Zhang, thank you!"

At this moment, countless people have the same thoughts as Zhou Hai.

On the Internet, many cancer patients, family members, and people who have had similar experiences are discussing this matter.

"I've been waiting for this day since Zhang Wei announced at the press conference in October that he would conquer the incurable diseases of the century level one by one. Fortunately, there is still time!"

"Although no clinical trials have been carried out, I believe that clinical trials will be successful. After all, he is Zhang Wei and has successfully overcome AIDS."

"Zhang Wei's meritorious deeds are immeasurable. I believe that those patients who have experienced despair will be willing to thank Zhang Wei and Future Technology Company in any way they can after they are cured, even if they kneel in front of the company for a few days. night."

"Yeah, people who haven't experienced it will never understand the horror of cancer. Why is cancer called the king of all diseases, why is it called terminal illness? It's not just a simple literal sense that it can't be cured. The pain and despair of torture are really hard for people who haven’t experienced it to imagine. This is why many cancer patients are willing to lose their fortunes to try new treatments, just for a chance, even if the chances are slim.”

"This disease is not only a torment to the patient, but also a torment to the family. How many families have gone bankrupt because of this? Many patients even chose to commit suicide in order not to hurt the family. One of my uncles was born with lung cancer, and the doctor said it was nothing. After he was cured, he just slept at home all day. He had difficulty breathing, and he didn’t even have the energy to eat. As a result, one day my aunt took the child out, and when I got home, I found that he had climbed to the second floor by himself, and put it on the second floor. I stabbed myself to death with a long knife—such a weak person, how much determination to die is necessary to die!"

"Looking at the mention of going bankrupt upstairs, I have to say that going bankrupt due to cancer is both a natural disaster and a '**'. Due to the high cost of cancer treatment, it can range from tens of thousands of yuan to millions of yuan. Therefore, cancer patients have been It is the "fat meat" that major hospitals are scrambling for, and even various departments within the hospital are also fighting for cancer patients. It has only one purpose, and that is to make money. In some hospitals, some medical staff use patients to "have 1% hope and do 100% effort” mentality to make a big fuss, take advantage of cancer to earn money, recommend high-priced drugs, imported drugs, and make patients pay more, but in the end they don’t get the corresponding return.

What's even more hateful is that when you turn on the TV, radio, and newspapers and magazines, there are overwhelming advertisements for the treatment of tumors. They all claim, explicitly or implicitly, that they can cure various cancers. , or a so-and-so "oncology expert's clinical crystallization for many years", or a new product refined by high technology. I don't know how many people have been harmed by these false advertisements! "

"Zhang Wei will definitely not be like this. It can be seen from the fact that he sells the 'Future No. 1 Gene Injection~ Liquid' for the treatment of AIDS at a low price. He is a truly compassionate person. For this life-saving medicine, he will definitely continue to It is sold at a low price. A compassionate and caring person like him is rare in this materialistic society. I suggest that everyone buy more products from future technology companies in the future. This is the only way we can repay him .”

"Hey... If only Zhang Weineng had invented this drug a few months earlier, my grandfather wouldn't have left me."

"This is the best news I've heard this year. I hope that clinical trials can be carried out as soon as possible, and then it will be on the market soon!"
