In recent years, medical topics related to health, life and death have always attracted people's attention and been hotly discussed. The two novels by Xiang Chun selected in this book are about women's re-examination and understanding of social life, family and marriage after suffering from breast cancer, as well as the strength and wisdom to reshape life through disease. "Excision" written by Xiang Chun is divided into two chapters. "Excision" tells the story of "I"'s Nirvana journey from disbelief to struggling to live after learning that I have breast cancer, and my re-understanding and interpretation of life in the face of life and death. "Notes on a Sickness" is in the same style as "Excision", with a compact plot and is known for its keen sense and delicate description. The protagonist is a breast cancer patient, and her painful experience has made her think deeply about life and women's dignity. When she can only choose one of the two, her inner confusion, severe pain and tragedy are shocking, and her thoughts are also quite unique. This is the most charming part of this work. The work also describes the different attitudes of surrounding patients towards disease as well as the limitations of current medical technology and methods, and outlines the appearance of all living beings in the face of death, which is also thought-provoking.
