Have you seen "I'm not the god of medicine"?

DaDa / tr. by Phil Newell)

Recently, the editor has been maxed out in moments by a movie. I believe many people have seen it. Its name is "I am not the god of medicine". The film is directed by Wen Muye, co-produced by Ning Hao and Xu Zheng, and co-starred by Xu Zheng, Zhou Yiwei, Wang Chuanjun and other actors. It tells the story of Cheng Yong, the owner of the Divine Oil Store, who jumped from a small vendor who could not afford to pay rent to become the exclusive agent of the Indian generic drug "Glenin". At present, Douban's score is as high as 9.0, which is also a rare high score in recent domestic films. Today, the editor will talk to you about the movie "I am not the God of Medicine."

Some people say: "every penny at the box office is the audience voting for domestic films that dare to face reality."

Some people say, "after all these years, there is finally a realistic film that has won a breath for Chinese films."

Others said: "I once thought that a movie like 'melting pot' would never appear on the Chinese screen, but now it has finally set a precedent."

Before the film was released, it had been praised as a magic medicine for domestic movies in the summer, and when it was finally released, the box office exploded and word of mouth went viral.

The protagonist of the story is Cheng Yong, a middle-aged peddler who is in trouble. His business is poor. By chance, he came into contact with leukaemia. In order to make a living and regain custody of the child, he risked becoming the exclusive agent of the Indian generic drug "Glenning" and was called "God of Medicine" by the patients. At first, he just wanted to make money from this agent and fight for custody of his children, but when he really entered the group of people with leukemia, he had an amazing transformation and growth, and even did not hesitate to go to prison for this, but also tried his best to help every patient. In the end, under the heavy investigation of the police and the recovery of the leukemia patient, Cheng Yong was sentenced to three years in prison.

Since it is a realistic film, there will be a film prototype, just like the melting pot. Of course, "I am not the god of medicine" also has its prototype, he is Lu Yong. Lu Yong had earlier run a textile factory in Wuxi, but was found to have chronic myeloid leukemia and needed to take Swiss glenin, but the drug was very expensive. Once, he learned from the Internet that there was "Indian Glenin". After taking it for a period of time, he was surprised to find that the effects of the two drugs were almost the same, so he became the first Chinese to contact an Indian manufacturer.

With the help of Lu Yong, many patients with leukemia have been suppressed through this drug. With the increase in the number of patients with leukemia in China, the price of drugs has gradually decreased. Each box costs only more than 200 yuan, which is much cheaper than Swiss medicine. However, no matter how effective the medicine is and how close the price is to the people, India's Glainin has always been a generic drug and has not been included in China's drug manual. In Chinese law, it is a fake drug.

In the end, Lu Yong was prosecuted in 2004 on suspicion of selling fake drugs. During his detention in the detention center, thousands of leukemia patients were jointly reported, hoping to exempt him from criminal punishment. Of course, Lu Yong was eventually released, and under his influence, the expensive Swiss Granin was included in health insurance in 19 provinces and cities.

Probably, from ancient times to the present, there is no way to achieve both legal principles and human feelings, but as Cheng Yong said, "it doesn't matter how many years I sentence. I deserve it." But what should be done in the future of these leukemia patients who cannot afford to take medicine is the most important thing to be solved. " The man who was initially obsessed with interests later became a hero who saved tens of thousands of people with leukemia. What impressed the editor most was that Cheng Yong shouted at the top of his voice in the hospital: "he is only 20 years old. what's wrong with him wanting to live!" Life is always frustrating, there will always be countless pots of cold water to extinguish our hope of life, but perhaps, or full of hope, living is everything.

All right, that's all for today's sharing. See you tomorrow!
