The idea of suicide sometimes flashes in Lu Yong’s mind. Who wants to drag down their families and watch them work hard and lose everything for themselves? However, at the thought of the expectant eyes of his wife and children, Lu Yong dismissed the idea and made up his mind to live for his family.
Just as Lu Yong was near despair, a small dawn of life suddenly appeared. By chance, he saw a great piece of good news on the internet: India has a generic drug of Glenin, and the price is only one-eighth of the original! Lu Yong made a decisive decision and tried every means to finally buy back this generic drug called "life-saving medicine" from India.
After taking it personally for a few days, I found that the curative effect was very good and I was overjoyed. So, he immediately spread the news to the group of leukemia patients he established. With the channel of life-saving medicine, Lu Yong is naturally ecstatic.
But it is not easy to really buy this generic drug for patients. First of all, the procedures for overseas remittance to buy medicines are too complicated. In order to help patients with low educational level, Lu Yong patiently made a detailed template of drug purchase process, translated the requirements for filling in various English forms in an easy-to-understand way, and posted it online for your reference.
With the template as a guide, patients can finally complete the procedures of transnational drug purchase step by step. But soon, a bigger problem appeared. The personal account provided by Indian pharmaceutical companies for patients in China has a limit on the number of times when accepting overseas remittances. Once it exceeds the limit, it is impossible to continue to purchase medicines.
To solve this problem, the pharmaceutical factory suggested that Lu Yong should open a personal account as a "centralized purchase point", and all the money should be remitted to his account first, and then transferred to the Indian pharmaceutical factory.
In the trust of patients, Lu Yong had to bite the bullet and accept the responsibility. Who would have thought that it was this act of kindness that provoked the investigation and criticism of the police. According to the investigation, in just three months, the funds in Lu Yong’s bank account were as high as 3 million yuan, so the police suspected that he was selling "fake drugs" for personal gain.
Fortunately, more than 1,000 leukemia patients later wrote to support Lu Yong and explained the truth to the procuratorate. After trial, Lu Yong’s behavior did not constitute a crime, and the court finally withdrew the lawsuit against him.
At the same time, the state has also issued relevant laws and regulations, allowing individuals to buy a small amount of "unapproved foreign drugs". In this way, Lu Yong, the "drug god", regained his freedom, and leukemia patients can finally buy drugs with confidence.
Shortly after Lu Yong’s release, the film Dying to Survive based on his touching story was released in full swing. For a time, this work, known as the "milestone of Chinese film", sparked heated discussions all over the country.
Douban scored high, word-of-mouth became fanatical, and the box office climbed steadily. The success of the film exceeded everyone’s imagination. Who would have expected that the story of a small "drug dealer" could be filmed into such an excellent and tear-jerking masterpiece? Once the film was released, Lu Yong directly sued the crew for "exaggerated plot".
He believes that he has never done excessive acts such as domestic violence or selling aphrodisiacs as described in the movie. But after watching the whole film, Lu Yong’s anger, like most of the audience, vanished in front of the film’s painstaking work.
In order to make peace, director Ning Hao and starring Xú Zhēng decided to be more reasonable. They offered to donate 2 million yuan of public welfare fund to help leukemia patients, and promised to add more money as the box office of the film grew.
Faced with such a thoughtful "reconciliation plan", Lu Yong knew that he was wrong and had nothing to say. Perhaps he finally realized that his story has transcended personal interests and carried the hopes of too many people, which needs to be recognized and respected by the public.
Therefore, this brave "drug god" is just like this. Back to the beginning of the story, when Lu Yong found that Indian generic drugs were cheap and effective, his heart was filled with joy and excitement.
As a patient, he knows exactly how precious this generic drug is to leukemia patients. With it, it means rekindling the hope of living! With excitement, Lu Yong immediately spread this great good news to the group of leukemia patients he established.
Soon, the crowd was boiling, and countless patients asked him about this "life-saving medicine". In order to facilitate the purchase of medicines, Lu Yong patiently made a detailed template for overseas remittance of medicines.
He translated the filling requirements of various English forms in an easy-to-understand way, and disassembled the complicated steps of transnational remittance one by one, presenting them in the template with pictures and texts. With this intimate operation guide, even patients with low educational level can complete the complicated procedures of purchasing drugs step by step.
Lu Yong unreservedly posted this template on the Internet for everyone’s reference and download. From finding hope to transmitting information at the first time, and then guiding the channels of purchasing medicines, it can be said that Lu Yong has exhausted all his strength to help every fellow traveler.
As a patient in the same boat, he knows the taste of despair too well to be so eager to pass on the dawn. For Dying to Survive, who was named as "God", Lu Yong himself was always humble.
He felt that he was "a drug hero at best", because "Xia" was a human being, and he was just an ordinary patient, not a hero. Lu Yong, born in 1970, is 53 years old this year.
But his life experience is a vivid realistic film. A middle-aged man who once had a small family fortune fell to the bottom of the valley after being suddenly attacked by a serious illness, and gained the dawn, regained hope and courage, and finally walked out of the haze with tenacious vitality and continued his life course.
For the vast majority of ordinary people, expensive drugs are the hope of saving lives and the watershed between life and death. With it, it is possible to live; Without it, only the darkness of despair is waiting.
Because of this, when Lu Yong found the light, he was so eager to pass it on to every fellow traveler. From the discovery of Indian generic drugs, to the production of drug purchase templates to guide everyone, and then to the risk of centralized drug purchase to reduce the burden on patients, Lu Yong used all his strength to keep more people alive.
He understands that one person alone is limited, but as long as one person stands up, it will surely start a prairie fire. "Even if it’s not me, there will be another person standing up!" This is Lu Yong’s belief.
The light of life will eventually penetrate the haze and shine hope for everyone who is on the verge of despair. Thus, this humble "Medicine Man" continued his road of great love and never returned on the road of doing good.
