In the past, he graduated from Stanford, Cambridge and Yale medical schools. After years of hard training, he was a neurosurgeon with superb medical skills and a bright future; now, he is a patient whose lungs are covered with tumors and is getting weaker day by day, requiring regular chemotherapy. When the end of his life suddenly came, and when he had the opportunity to re-examine his soul, he began to review and record his life as a doctor and a patient, exploring medicine and ethics, family and love, and why people are worth living. As the body gradually fails, the soul becomes stronger and stronger. On the way to the end of his life, Paul created a new future and gave the ultimate answer to life - "I cannot move forward. I will still move forward."
