Shikano Yasaki suffers from muscular dystrophy and was predicted at the age of 12 that he would not live to turn 18.
He was unable to turn over on his own, and could only move his head and hands. He had to have four attendants within 24 hours. We need 120 caregivers a month and 1,460 caregivers a year.
Staring at the ceiling of the hospital, it's as if you can hear the terrifying countdown of the hourglass of life...
But! Do you think this is Shikano Jingming's daily life?
No! No! No! No! No!
According to Shikano Jingming, life is to be enjoyed as you wish!
The less your body can move, the more you must move forward bravely!
So we can see such an alternative, willful and admirable "patient"——
He is chatty, cheeky, and demanding... He attracted 500 volunteers to come to care, and through 95 "Nursing Notes", he presented more than 2,500 days of fighting the disease and getting along with the volunteers with laughter and tears every day! He insisted on living independently for 19 years, personally trained volunteers, and invented nursing methods that suit him! From being predicted that he would not survive until the age of 18 to his death at the age of 42, his short but wonderful life deeply affected people from all walks of life, including students, nurses, housewives, and teachers. Luye: "I have to expose myself... Otherwise I can't survive in the crowd, right? What can't be done is just not possible, so I can only ask people who can do it to help." Volunteer: "I'm really glad that I gained the volunteer experience here. If it hadn't been for these two years, I'd probably be worse than Now he is even more cowardly, and is a selfish man who does not care about the feelings of others. "The book describes the daily life of Shikano Yasaki, as well as the estrangement and communication between him and the 24-hour volunteers, showing the collision of selfish psychology between people and exploring the meaning of human survival and mutual support.
Reader comments
This book is very interesting! Although Kano Yasaki is physically handicapped, he is very optimistic and "willful"! He's just like me, he says what he wants. I hate the guy in the book who says he "won't live to be 18", so annoying! I also admire Lu Ye's spirit. I want to learn from him, never shrink back when encountering difficulties, and move forward courageously!
I really want to be a life care worker [crying], but I'm also a little confused and can't find the direction.
