November 15, 2018. Shen Qingwu was diagnosed with ALS.
As a professional screenwriter, he knew very well what these three words meant - he could no longer hold up a pen.
On the afternoon of the day he was diagnosed, he sat alone on a plastic chair in the hospital corridor, holding the diagnosis sheet in his hand, and waited for a while. Not crying, not shaking, just sitting there, listening to the subtle electric sound from the incandescent light above my head. He remembered that when he first became a full-time employee three years ago, he was lazy every day and submitted all his manuscripts the day before the deadline. To date, he has only twelve screenplays.
At that time, he still felt that there was time to write all the stories and travel to all the distant places.
The medical certificate said he had one year and six months to live.
So on the third day after the diagnosis, Shen Qingwu resigned.
Intention: When life enters an irreversible countdown, how should people face "farewell"?
