Last Saturday, my friend and I went to the cinema to see a new movie, 巜I'm not a god of medicine》.
This film received good reviews and a high box office,everyone talked a lot about it.
It was set in Shanghai,the story is about a person who took a risk in order to cure aleukemia patients.He was caught selling fake drugs and was put in prison.
The film is based on real event.
At first, he sold fake drugs only to make money, later he sold drugs at a loss to help leukemia patients.
If you were Chengyon, what would you choose?
Choose not to save ,but suffer conscience?
Or choose to sell fake drugs, but was put in prison?
No matter how to choose,it's a tragedy.
Who make this tragedy?
Is it the leukemia patients? Maybe,if they are not the friends of Chengyon ,they don't give the pressure to him to resell the fake medicine. But patients just want to live ,are they wrong?
Is it the pharmaceutical company?Maybe,if they don't sell the drugs for a incredible price,if they can sell it at a the same low price as Indian generics.But people don't know that,although the production cost of drugs is very low,the research and development cost is extremely high,and they have to take a huge risk of r&d failure.If they don't sell expensive drugs or report generics,they face bankruptcy. If they are't willing to develop new drugs,what is waiting for the patients will be even more frightening.
Is't the policeman?Maybe,if they don't capture Chengyon, they leave a way for the sicker.But if they don't arrest the drug dealer,it's illegal. What would you choose? law over life or life over law?
Is't the government? Maybe,if the government can intervene and get expensive drugs into health care. But if put leukemia drugs into medicare,other expensive medicines also should be covered, what if affordable drugs? Will the government's health care system collapse?
《I'm not a god of medicine 》is a good movie, it reveals the truth and make people think in deep.
The film is full of hard choices. Life is also full of hard tradeoffs.
It is easy to choose between good and evil, right and wrong.The really hard choice is that choosing A is humane,but it hurts B; choosing B is also humane but it hurts A. You want to choose both,but circumstances allow you to choose only one.
Chengyon said to the judge that everything would be fine.
Yes,I deeply believe that .
We can see this topic film is already a kind of progress.
Let us remember the director's name Wen Muye.
