Although in reality, Lu Yong did not lead a tortuous life like the protagonist in the movie, he also experienced the hardships of life. Today, Lu Yong still lives on drugs, still insists on public welfare, and still has a hard life.
Accidental diagnosis, spend all your savings. Lu Yong was born in Wuxi, Jiangsu. He studied as a child and was admitted to Southeast University with excellent results. At the age of 47, he is already the boss of a knitwear export enterprise in Wuxi, Jiangsu.
There are similarities and differences between Lu Yong and the characters in the film. One of the biggest differences is that Lu Yong is a patient, and all the characters in the movie are healthy and normal.
Lu Yong was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia in 2002. The doctor asked him to take medicine for a long time to maintain his life, and also recommended an imported medicine from Germany with good effect.
However, a box of Gleevec imported from Germany costs more than 20,000 yuan a month, which is a medicine that ordinary families simply cannot afford. Although Lu Yong made small achievements at that time, he could not stand the high drug prices.
Just like a patient in the movie said, she was ill for three years, took genuine medicine for three years, lost her house and ate her family. Medicine can prolong life. If there is no medicine, you can only watch the countdown.
Lu Yong's father didn't have to go out to work in order to make money to treat his son, but he had an accident on the way to contact his business, and eventually died because of ineffective rescue.
Perhaps it is because Lu Yong is also a patient, and he can understand the pain of other patients. By chance, Lu Yong learned about an Indian generic drug, and its efficacy was almost the same as the genuine one.
He bought some through channels, but the rough packaging of the medicine was hard to convince. He didn't dare to recommend the medicine he hadn't tried to his patients, so after taking it for a while, he found it effective and recommended it to his patients.
The drug price of this generic drug is only one twentieth of the asking price of the genuine product. The cheap price makes it affordable for many patients and saves many families and lives.
His story was exposed because of the credit card. Lu Yong helps his patients bring medicine for free, and the price is open and transparent. Many people believe in him even more. More and more people ask him to buy medicine, so he bought a credit card online as a unified account for everyone to buy medicine.
Patients with chronic myeloid leukemia need to take medication for life. According to reports, drugs can generally prolong their life span by about 19 years. Lu Yong is a college graduate. He should know that it is illegal to buy generic drugs for his patients.
But these cheap generic drugs are the hope of patients to live, and he chose to help these people. They have many patients, and the patients in the group will cheer each other up and support each other.
If an avatar is no longer online, most people can guess why. They feel sad for the patient's death and seem to see their future ending.
When the police cracked a case of illegal sales of credit cards, they found Lu Yong and arrested him for buying, purchasing and transferring counterfeit drugs.
According to the law at that time, it was illegal for private individuals to resell counterfeit drugs privately. 20 14 Lu Yong was prosecuted.
At that time, the patients he helped signed a petition, hoping to exempt Lu Yong from punishment. Because it is unprofitable for Lu Yong to buy drugs for patients, and generic drugs are not fake drugs, but they have not obtained domestic sales licenses.
20 15, Lu Yong was acquitted. His touching story is only known to us. Before that, he had helped patients buy medicine for many years. Some people call him "",and he can afford the word "Xia".
His story is different from the protagonist in the movie, but his patient's situation is very similar. In particular, some patients are afraid of dragging down their families and finally choose to terminate their lives, which reminds him of many difficult past events.
Just like the line in the movie "The noblest kindness in the world is a tribute to life". Lu Yong is also a patient. He knows what it feels like to be sick and drag down the whole family, so when there is hope, he will help more people without hesitation.
Today, he is still on the road of public welfare. Lu Yong's deeds have influenced many people and things. In the revised Drug Administration Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), which was adopted on 20 19, the provision that imported drugs are supposed to be counterfeit drugs was deleted.
Today, Lu Yong continues to take drugs every day. Apart from the side effects of drugs, his mental state is no different from that of normal people. It is said that he loves swimming so much that he can swim far every time.
With the increasing popularity of movies, Lu Yong has also been interviewed by many media. A reporter asked him the sentence in the movie, "There is only one disease in the world, poor disease." What does he think?
He thinks that money is not everything. If you have money, you can eat imported medicine, but if you have no money, you can eat domestic medicine. Patients who can't afford medicine can get help from their charitable organizations.
Now he still insists on public welfare and helps more patients like him. When the COVID-19 epidemic first broke out, Lu Yong bought a large number of masks and donated them to the front line of anti-epidemic through his own company.
When someone asked him which state he preferred from obscurity to focus. His wish is to become a normal person without disease and live a quiet life.
Such a wish is easy for many ordinary people to realize, but it is a luxury dream for patients who take medicine for a long time.
Lu Yong, a witch doctor, deserves such a title. His chivalrous spirit let many people see the light, let many families get rid of the burden and let more people pay attention to this special crowd.
That's it. Lu Yong, the prototype of a narrow escape, did not have the twists and turns of the movie protagonist, but it also warmed many people. Today, he still insists on public welfare and has helped many leukemia patients.
His spirit is worth learning, his courage is worth praising, and his deeds are worth spreading.
