[Explanation] In 2018, after 28-year-old Zhou Yunjiao (a pseudonym) was diagnosed with follicular lymphoma and systemic lupus erythematosus, the chance that she would survive five years was only 50%.
During the treatment period, because she used the name "Brother Zhuzi", she published an article about her disease-resistant experience that she "exploded out of the circle" and became an anti-cancer blogger.
This "Brother Zhuzi" who graduated from Fudan Law School and worked in the financial industry in Lujiazui was also labeled "student master", "elite" and "anti-cancer hero".
Recently, the reporter came to Zhou Yunjiao's studio in Shanghai and interviewed this "anti-cancer female internet celebrity".
"After being diagnosed, I feel like my life is like sleeping on a boat, and every aspect is full of uncertainty." Zhou Yunjiao told reporters that she had no way to plan for the future like ordinary people, such as having two children before the age of 35 or changing a new set. The house, because of her, "may be admitted to the hospital in the next second."

I can't cure my illness, so I can only press down the spring.
When the spring is pressed down, your body is okay.
Because it’s not clean, it will go up again, and then when the spring reaches a certain level, it will have a great impact on your body and living conditions, and then think of a way to treat it, and then press it down, that’s Such an iterative process.
[Explanation] Wearing double-layer masks 24 hours a day, no public transportation, no takeout, no contact with cats, dogs, and their owners... During the treatment period after diagnosis, due to the disorder of the immune system, Zhou Jiaoyun has a lot of taboos. After suffering hard for two years, the condition stabilized only a while ago.
"The physical state can't be returned to the past", Zhou Yunjiao smiled and used "The vitality was sucked up by the female ghost" to describe her current state.

My current physical strength is one-fifth of what I used to be.
Physical strength, energy, ability, even thinking ability, and even the degree of reaction are very poor.
【Explanation】Despite the "suffering energy", Zhou Jiaoyun is still trying to find the meaning of life.
Made two public accounts, a video account, and a popular science blogger; contributed articles to medical platforms; compiled his own anti-cancer guidelines into a book; cooperated with hospitals to organize popular science programs; organized and participated in offline popular science activities; enrolled in elderly nursing majors ……For more than two years, Zhou Yunjiao, who is self-reliant and self-reliant, has not "ridden the wind and waves" in the workplace, but she still has a very fulfilling life.
In the eyes of others, these "heroic performances" of "brave anti-cancer", in her view, are just a "climbing process" after ordinary human rights weigh the pros and cons.
She believes that life is full of risks and uncertainties, and cancer is just one of them. It is no different from unemployment, loss of independence, and car accidents.

Does a person know a bad expectation, must give up, stand still and wait for death?
It's not.
I think there is a lot of meaning in the process of resistance, and even if people are simply subdued by fate, then this life will be too obedient.
[Explanation] For more than two years, Zhou Yunjiao has been committed to popularizing cancer among the people.
"If you don't seize the high ground of popular science, the pseudo-science popularization will drag patients away. If you don't establish the correct concept of seeking medical treatment for them, their money bags will be emptied by crooks." She doesn't want to let the world look down on her people.
Zhou Yunjiao said frankly that the reason she was able to persevere was not just relying on the "noble sense of mission", she just hoped to share her useful experience, give herself a sense of comfort, and "leave traces in the world at the same time."
[Concurrent] Anti-cancer blogger Zhou Yunjiao
There is a sense of mission, I hope I can share my useful experience with others, but part of the reason is that I just wrote it and did it. People always have to comfort themselves, provide emotional value for themselves, and then give themselves self-sufficiently. It's a psychological comfort.
[Commentary] Outside of the report, Zhou Yunjiao is passionate about the details of life: growing flowers and plants in the studio, sharing daily outfits on Weibo, and putting on exquisite makeup during interviews, "I can't be forever." Brother Zhuzi's life, this is only one side of my image on the Internet."
Zhou Yunjiao smiled and said that in the coming April, she will return to her original unit and officially resume work.
"I'm just an ordinary person," Zhou Yunjiao emphasized, hoping that everyone can look at her with the eyes of ordinary people through those labels, and look at her professional ability and strength.
At the same time, I hope everyone will treat all cancer patients with the eyes of ordinary people.

Cancer patients can also live normally. The society should accept him, should not exclude him, should not target him, should not give him opportunities, and should not deprive him of the equal right to live together.
Just like blind people should be able to go to the streets, cancer patients should be able to return to the workplace, and then the disabled can also travel normally.
