This is a personal account of a cancer patient's journey from desperate situation to gradual recovery. It is also a famous journalist's observation and analysis of the pros and cons of today's cancer medical system in China. It is also a life inspirational book full of wisdom, courage and optimism.
In 2007, Ling Zhijun was diagnosed with "lung cancer, brain metastasis", that is, "late stage lung cancer". Famous doctors in Beijing and Shanghai consulted and almost unanimously concluded that he would not survive more than three months. He and his family were plunged into unprecedented fear. Is there really no way out? Surgery, internal medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, and "imperial physicians" all gave very different treatment plans. Do you need surgery? Do you need chemotherapy? What kind of doctor should you trust? Should specific drugs be used? Who should I entrust my life to?
Reader comments
I envy the author for having such a good wife, son, and friends. I am also a terminal cancer patient, but I have been running around alone from beginning to end, collapsing alone, and recovering alone. I have never had a shoulder to lean on. But it doesn't matter, if you don't hurt me, I will hurt myself.
"Notes on Rebirth" is a precious novel that is worthy of being read by Chinese people and even people around the world! Words cannot express my appreciation for this treasure! I only wish the author good health and good health forever! Use your wisdom and talent to create more works for the health of human civilization! Make our lives more comfortable and happy! Thank you for your work "Notes on Rebirth"!
This book is a must-own
Before the Chinese New Year in 2025, my husband was diagnosed with sigmoid colon cancer due to intestinal obstruction and there was a shadow on the liver. My husband refused chemotherapy, so we chose to celebrate the New Year at home instead of having immediate surgery. Through repeated reading of this book, whether it is spiritual or lifestyle, it has pointed out the direction for us and allowed us to move forward with more peace of mind. I believe that cancer is just a chronic disease and my husband can always be by our side.
I was very inspired by this book. The author Ling Zhijun not only tells the story of fighting cancer with his personal experience, but also provides a profound analysis of China's cancer medical system. He mentioned in the book that "many cancer patients die not of their own disease, but of their own fears and wrong treatments." This sentence impressed me deeply. The author's courage and optimism are also admirable. He did not blindly accept traditional treatment, but found the road to recovery through his own efforts. Full of wisdom and inspiration, this book is worth reading.
This is a book well worth reading. The book truly and delicately records my own experience of suffering from cancer and recovery, as well as my difficult mental journey. It is a touching and deeply inspiring read. Recommend!
He treats Chinese and Western medicine in a very objective and pertinent manner. Being able to continue on the road of fighting cancer arduously, the author has received the greatest spiritual cleansing!
Thanks to the author for giving us hope. I also hope your health is getting better and better.
There are still many books on how to make life-related decisions abroad, and their doctors are not afraid to tell them in the books about their confusion and confusion when facing their family members' illnesses. Many scenes in this book will really be encountered in the process of medical treatment. Although we may not necessarily have the conditions and rationality of the author, the author has at least provided us with some information, some information from patients.
I really enjoyed reading this book. I learned a lot about how to stay calm in a life-and-death situation, and how to walk from death to light.
Super pretty! Very nice!
It is recommended that every one of our doctors read this book.
As a family member of a cancer patient, I feel the same way and am grateful🙏
Dr. Liu is actually a very good person, and his cancer treatment concepts are very reasonable. This book is also very good and points us in the direction of successful cancer treatment.
This book is very good. I read it carefully and seriously. I was shocked by his strong perseverance. It is worth recommending. It is a good book!
Thank you and wish everyone good health🙏
Very real and touching! Admire
Very good book worth reading
The author is a very sensible person.
Good, good, good
I am a family member of the patient, and because of some differences in philosophy, he did not watch me.
I am honored to read this book, thank the author for sharing it! ! ! While we face life bravely, we also learn to enjoy the scenery along the way in every journey of life.
This book is the best book about this type of disease that I have seen, and it has better guidance and reference value.
A very good book, I hope it can help more people. My father and mother-in-law both died of cancer. The process in the book makes me feel the same way. Thank you to the author. I recommend it! ! !
