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 only his head and hands could move. He stared at the ceiling of the hospital, as if he could hear the terrifying countdown of the hourglass of life... In Shikano Yasuaki's view, life is to be enjoyed as you please! 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 talkative, 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! 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, teachers, etc. 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 a selfish man who does not care about the feelings of others. "The book's description of Shikano Yasaki's daily life, as well as the estrangement and communication between him and the 24-hour volunteers, presents the collision of selfish psychology between people and explores the meaning of human survival and mutual support.
