Anti-cancer for six years, more than 50 chemotherapy, five relapses, and two suspensions. Once in the emergency room with severe pneumonia, the "Hodgkin's lymphoma" on the diagnosis book became "relapsed and refractory Hodgkin's lymphoma" , The illness is tenacious, and Sun Ying is also tenacious.
She recorded her anti-cancer experience in Q-version comics to cheer for herself and her patients.
Currently, Sun Ying is still enduring the fifth relapse, but she still has confidence in the treatment.
Because she wanted to prove to her father that she persisted and was not overthrown by the illness.
Sun Ying 23 years old
Identity: Graduate of Oil Painting Department of Fine Arts College of Henan Normal University
Annual memory: an exclusive graduation ceremony for a person in the ward
Sun Ying was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma after the college entrance examination in 2015.
The father of terminal lung cancer gave up treatment for her and left the money to her.
In 2019, she was attracted by her hand-painted Q-version comics documenting her anti-cancer experience, and her strength and optimism moved netizens.
In the six years of fighting cancer, she suspended her studies twice due to illness, but still insisted on completing her university studies. In June 2021, she finally ushered in a warm and exclusive graduation ceremony in the ward.
For the next anti-cancer treatment, she still has confidence. She wants to prove to her father that she persevered.
I worked hard so I wanted to prove it to my dad
On April 30, 2015, 17-year-old Sun Ying was diagnosed with thymoma during the college entrance examination physical examination.
In the beginning, the hospital puncture found that it was a benign tumor, which can be cured by surgical removal.
The day after the college entrance examination, Sun Ying went to Zhengzhou from her hometown in Xinxiang, Henan for surgery, but the disease did not heal. The fate seemed to have dealt a blow to the 17-year-old girl. She was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma, which is a malignant tumor. .
"My illness frightened him. Originally, his lung cancer was well controlled. Later, when the brain metastasized, he left the money to me and gave up the treatment."
In the college entrance examination that year, Sun Ying got the first place in the school as an art student.
For the convenience of treatment, she chose Henan Normal University in Xinxiang to become a student of oil painting at the School of Fine Arts.
But the grandfather failed to witness his daughter graduating from university, nor was he able to witness her daughter overcoming the illness, and passed away in December 2015.
On the third anniversary of the death of her father, Sun Ying wrote in her diary: "My superhero has left this world, and the world has lost its color for a long time. Since then, I have put away my waywardness and cowardice, and I have become independent and strong. ."
"I worked so hard and wanted to prove it to my dad." Her father's love gave Sun Ying strength and made her want to survive cancer.
From freshman to junior year, Sun Ying went to class while undergoing chemotherapy. She never took time off. She ranked among the best in her grades and was repeatedly rated as a "three-good student".
In order not to delay class, she will try to choose to go to the hospital on weekends, and her classmates don't even know her condition.
Even if she is misunderstood, Sun Ying is reluctant to say that these are all because of her illness.
Because her father taught her to do her own things since she was a child, she didn't want to bother and worry others.
"I can laugh after a while"
Three months after each chemotherapy, Sun Ying had to go to the hospital for review, and every time she got the news that she had "relapsed."
After repeating this three times, at the end of 2017, she once gave up Western medicine treatment and chose Chinese medicine.
But the condition still hasn't improved.
Until April 2018, the family savings and borrowed money were spent, and she also developed resistance to anticancer drugs.
Sun Ying felt that her body could no longer hold on, and she had completely lost confidence in life.
"I wanted to give up treatment at the time, but I couldn't see any hope. I asked my mother to go through the suspension formalities, and the teacher and classmates learned. The next day, the teacher went to my home immediately and encouraged me to continue treatment."
At that time, Mr. Sun and his classmates raised funds for this, "I see everyone helping me like this, I don't want to give up. Every time my mother persuades me to go to the hospital, she says, I don't think for others, but also think about her. Actually, it’s really uncomfortable when it’s uncomfortable, but after a while I can laugh."
During the three years, Sun Ying received 30 chemotherapy treatments and 20 radiotherapy treatments. He experienced three recurrences, and had late symptoms of lymphoma. She also entered the emergency room three times due to lung fungal infections.
"Life kisses me with pain, and I repay it with songs." This is what Sun Ying has written many times in Moments and Weibo to encourage herself. She has always been optimistic about anti-cancer treatment and life.
Anti-cancer diary encourages myself and patients
At the beginning of 2019, while waiting for a review at home, Sun Ying drew three years of anti-cancer experience on a small piece of white paper in the form of a Q-version comic.
She roughly summarized "three relapses from 2015 to 2018", "16 chemotherapy at the central hospital from July to February (2015)", "21 radiotherapy and four chemotherapy since December 2016". These data were matched by her. With the lovely cartoons, you can hardly see the suffering and pain.
Sun Ying loves her profession, she often spends one day in the studio, and it is easy to forget the time when she paints.
Usually, she still has the habit of keeping a diary and keeping track of her life.
After being sick, she rarely went out to play, but every time she went out to play, even if it was just watching a movie, she would record it on her account.
She also shared the hand-painted Q version of the anti-cancer diary to the patient group, cheering for herself and encouraging them at the same time.
From her hand-drawn cartoons, we can know the "exquisite girl" Sun Ying-she wakes up on time at 8:30 every day, never sleeps late, but may eat snacks in bed and play with her mobile phone; she can make sandwiches or grab her own hands. She also pays attention to health preservation. She drinks soy milk or milk to supplement her nutrition. Sometimes she also makes five red soups for her qi and blood. She drinks yogurt when she has lunch. She draws at the desk when she is free. A short story or a hand account is one of the things she likes to do; as a health girl, she usually drinks porridge for supper, then takes a hot bath, throws away her mobile phone and goes to bed at 10:20 in the evening...Her The comic style is as cute as ever, with a little optimism and humor.
Just like her anti-cancer comics, this strong and optimistic anti-cancer girl has inspired many patients and moved countless netizens at the same time.
After this group of Q version comics became popular on the Internet, what impressed everyone is that whether it is Sun Ying with long hair or Sun Ying with short hair, at home or in the ward, she always has a smile on her face and bright eyes. .
Exclusive graduation ceremony held in the ward
After the first suspension of school in 2018 due to illness, Sun Ying suspended again due to illness in April 2019.
In April 2020, with the permission of the doctor, she returned to school to complete her studies and finally graduated in the summer of 2021.
But just two days before the graduation ceremony, on June 8, 2021, Sun Ying was told that her condition had relapsed for the fifth time. She missed the graduation ceremony because of treatment.
Surprisingly, on June 23, 2021, the school specially went to the ward of Henan Cancer Hospital and held a warm graduation ceremony for her alone.
That day, she got up at 5 o'clock, put on her bachelor's uniform early, and looked forward to this special graduation ceremony.
At the ceremony, the dean of the Academy of Fine Arts of Henan Normal University awarded her a certificate of collection of works, the deputy secretary of the school party committee announced the degree certificate award decision, and the secretary of the school party committee set her ears for her.
She was wearing a bachelor's uniform, holding a degree certificate and taking photos with her family, teachers, and medical staff. The smile on her face couldn't even cover the mask.
After the ceremony, Sun Ying took photos in the circle of friends, wishing herself a happy graduation, and thanked the school, teachers and family for their encouragement and company.
She said, "It is your encouragement and support that has made Xiaoying, who is now optimistic and cheerful, will continue to cheer."
"Hope the world loves me more"
For several years, the pressure of medical expenses has been on the hearts of Sun Ying's mother and daughter.
In order to reduce the burden on his mother and help the family pay off the debt, during school, Sun Ying would go outside as soon as he was free.
Even if there are dangers and dangers, Sun Ying is confident in the next treatment.
She remembered the care and support given to her by her family, teachers, classmates and even strangers who had never known her before. She also wanted to prove to everyone that she could persevere and be an example for everyone.
"I was in critical condition several times. I was so close to the god of death but I was rescued. I was stubborn and I was also stubborn. I hope the world loves me more and I really want to live."
Sun Ying has not forgotten that she must live well and prove it to her father.
Before she fell ill, her father wanted to take her to travel while she was admitted to university, but this plan was disrupted by a medical certificate.
Now that her father is gone, she wants to wait until she is cured and work hard to make money, take her mother to travel, and make up for the regret of not being able to travel with her father.
