It was an ordinary winter evening, and the elderly at home were watching the news as usual.

The news was originally being told as usual about current affairs and politics, but suddenly an unusual piece of news was interrupted in the middle.

"Now let me interrupt you with a news story. Comrade Lin Yimu, a well-known young scientist in my country, has successfully developed a cancer cure drug and successfully marketed it in December this year. The successful development and marketing of this drug will make the developer famous in history and will also bring about a qualitative leap in my country's international status..."

Many people just listened to the news and passed it by. The only people who paid attention to it were those whose relatives were suffering from cancer. After seeing the news, their eyes were red with excitement.

Yang Yuqing is one of them, but unlike those who are happy that their family has a chance to recover, he is happy for himself.

Yang Yuqing was originally a senior white-collar worker in a foreign company, working from 9 am to 5 pm every day. Occasionally, he had to work overtime until the early morning due to an order from his leader, but this kind of life is already better than 90% of the people in the country. Although he often scolds his boss for being a bad person, he also feels that his life is very good now.

The only problem might be my parents’ pressure to get married, but this problem was solved in the past two years.

Just when he and his wife were thinking about having a child, the originally happy and harmonious family encountered a major change during the pregnancy checkup.

He was diagnosed with liver cancer.

Although the doctor said it was an early symptom, because cancer is difficult to treat, he has had to take medicine to maintain his condition since then and go to the hospital for check-ups every month.

However, no matter how many medicines he took, it was difficult to stop the deterioration of the disease. Within a year, his liver cancer worsened.

The family had already spent most of their savings because of his illness, and as his condition worsened, he could no longer continue to work and had to resign and be hospitalized, which made the family's financial situation even worse.

His newlywed wife was also affected by his illness and had to take several extra part-time jobs after get off work every day just to ensure that he could get better treatment.

In order to ensure that he has enough money for treatment, his parents, who are in their seventies or eighties, still have to get up early and go to bed late every day to set up a stall.

Whenever he saw how tired they looked, Yang Yuqing thought, why not just forget it. His disease can't be cured anyway, so it's better not to treat it, rather than dragging the whole family down with him.

But every time he started talking, his wife and parents looked at him with tears in their eyes, so he dared not to speak again.

Just looking at how hard they are working, I started to pray in my heart, hoping that the country can develop drugs to treat cancer. Even if it cannot be cured completely, just suppressing it is good.

He did not want his family to worry about his illness, and began to face everything optimistically, but occasionally he would secretly pay attention to the developments of various drug research institutes and pharmaceutical companies.

But after so long, he still hasn't found any useful information, so he can't help but feel a little discouraged.

He had been thinking about divorcing his wife to stop himself from being a burden to her.

This idea had been lingering in his mind for a long time. He had mentioned it vaguely when he was diagnosed with liver cancer, but his wife's reaction was a little too exaggerated, so he didn't dare to mention it again.

The thought came to his mind again after his follow-up examination a few days ago. Even with medication and chemotherapy, his condition did not improve at all, and there were signs that the cancer cells had spread to other organs.

After these findings were detected, Yang Yuqing discussed discharge from the hospital with his family. Since there was no point in staying in the hospital, it would be better to go home and spend the last part of his life there.

And tonight is the seventh day since he returned home, and he sat on the sofa waiting for his family to come back as usual.

Faced with the empty, barren house and quiet environment, Yang Yuqing subconsciously turned on the TV.

It was around seven o'clock in the evening. His parents and wife were still busy outside, and he, a grown man, could only wait quietly at home. When he turned on the TV, all he saw was news.

Yang Yuqing stopped changing the channel and stared at a certain place in a daze. It was at this moment that he heard the news that was inserted in the CCTV News Broadcast.

Ever since he became ill, Yang Yuqing has been quite sensitive to the word cancer. The word that his ears automatically caught made Yang Yuqing come back to his senses and look at the TV.

After listening to the introduction of this cancer drug, his first reaction was disbelief. His second reaction was that this was the news broadcast and the news in it could not be false.

After realizing this, a huge surprise swept through his brain. He was unable to react for a while and could only feel happy and cry at the same time.

After sitting on the sofa for a long time, the news broadcast had ended and my family members had all returned from get off work.

The whole family was frightened when they saw him sitting there motionless with tears on his face, and they all gathered around to show concern.

"Yuqing, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Yes, Qing, if you feel uncomfortable, just say it out, don't bear it alone, we are all here, ah."

Hearing her family's concerned inquiries, Yang Yuqing suddenly came back to her senses from her surprise, wiped the tears from her face, and looked at the TV happily, only to find that the news broadcast had ended.

He immediately stood up, looked at his family in front of him, and said excitedly: "Dad, Mom, wife, my disease is cured! Just now, the news broadcast said that our country has developed drugs to treat many types of cancer, and they are already on the market!"

Hearing his words, the other three were also very surprised, and then asked in disbelief, "Did it really say that in the news broadcast? Did you hear it wrong?"

Seeing that his family members didn't believe him, Yang Yuqing excitedly picked up the remote control and wanted to switch to the news channel. "Mom, this is a big news that was broadcast on the news. How could it be fake? I'll switch to the news channel for you to see."

But before he could switch to the news channel, his wife had already seen the relevant information on her phone and shouted in surprise: "Found it, found it, this is true! The whole internet is talking about this news now."

Then he quickly handed the phone to his parents.

The two old people didn't know much about the Internet, but when they heard their daughter-in-law say so, they knew it was indeed true, and they immediately burst into tears of joy and held their heads in their hands.

Family situations similar to theirs are happening all over the country. Some of them saw the news on TV, some saw it on the Internet, and at this moment they are happy for themselves or their families.

Within a few minutes after the news broadcast ended, someone uploaded this news content on the Internet. Everyone was excited, excited and in disbelief as they discussed this explosive news on various social platforms on the Internet.

As the news spread, Lin Yimu's name spread all over the country and even the world.

At the same time, the national TV station released a personal interview with Lin Yimu, which made his name even more famous. Many people who were not interested in scientific research could tell stories of Lin Yimu.

Of course, where there is praise there is slander. Under this trend, in addition to the praise and compliments for Lin Yimu on the Internet, there are also doubts and criticisms.

[Everyone is praising Lin Yimu, calling him a young and promising scientist and a pillar of the country. But what about the effectiveness of the drugs he developed? Apart from the test subjects in the news, does anyone really know? 】

[How old is Lin Yimu this year? I don’t believe that he developed this drug. I hope that he is really a pillar of the country, and not a false god forcibly created by our country to improve its international status. 】

[What's the point of praising him like this? This medicine is obviously not cheap. How can we poor people afford it? He won't give medicine to patients for free. 】

[This forest scientist is really amazing. With the endorsement of the country, he can even be on CCTV News. Even if it is about national current affairs, he must have prepared and greeted in advance. He interrupted the program as soon as he said so. You think about it carefully. 】

[Even if these scientists develop some good medicine, it will not be used on ordinary people in the end. Just wait and see. The final price of this medicine is so high that we probably won't be able to afford even one dose even if we work like cattle and horses for a lifetime. 】

[Yes, it would be great if the medicines could be given to patients for free, so that poor people like us could have hope. 】

[Yes, it would be great if the country could provide free medicine like during the SARS epidemic. 】

The questioning and critical remarks on the Internet gradually turned into patients' demands for free medicine.

Of course, some people noticed this change and took the initiative to call on everyone not to be misled in their speech.

After all, research and development requires a lot of capital investment, and developers also need to eat. Moreover, since the government has shown up, the price will certainly not be too high. But if you want to give away drugs for free, that is simply impossible, as research and development institutions still need to eat.

Although these remarks were reasonable, they were collectively ignored by everyone, who all hoped to get free medicine.

This trend prompted the country's foreign relations department, which always pays close attention to public opinion, to take immediate action.

After the drug was launched on the market, He Xiuji kept a close eye on the developments on the Internet and was never idle for a moment.

After participating in that conversation with the leaders and promising them to vigorously promote the medicine and Lin Yimu, the developer, He Xiuji guessed that this day would come.

In fact, at the beginning He Xiuji didn't want to expose Lin Yimu to the public, as that would add a lot of trouble and trouble to him and his family and friends, but the leader's words persuaded him.

"It's actually very simple to hide Comrade Lin Yimu, but this means he will be separated from his family and you, his lover. Every time you meet, you can only do it through video calls on your phone. Do you think you can accept such a life?

And the most important point is that even with such strict protection, it cannot completely guarantee that Comrade Lin Yimu is safe. After all, none of us can guarantee that there are no spies from other countries around us. On the contrary, it is safest to be under the spotlight and the attention of the public at all times. ”

When Xiaomu heard that he could not meet his family, he refused without hesitation, and he did not want to live in the dark for the rest of his life.

The final result of that conversation was that Lin's father and mother were secretly brought to Beijing by the military to be settled, and other work would be handled by dedicated personnel.

This result was decided after Lin Yimu asked for the consent of Lin's father and mother.

The military acted quickly and notified Lin Yimu that evening that everything had been completed and gave him a key to his new home.

At Lin Yimu's request, He Xiuji participated in a series of post-drug launch processes together with the state-run company. This drug was eventually listed under He's Pharmaceuticals.

Of course, He's Pharmaceuticals eventually accepted state control and became the second largest shareholder from the largest one.

After dealing with the inappropriate remarks online, He's Pharmaceuticals officially issued a statement.

[In response to the national call, He's Pharmaceuticals' cancer treatment drugs have officially joined the national subsidy project and are now being delivered to major hospitals. All of the above cancer patients can go to nearby tertiary hospitals to show their medical records and follow the doctor's orders to get and use the drugs according to the severity of their illness.

Below this statement is a corresponding string of names of various types of cancer. Any patient suffering from the above diseases can be treated with this medicine.

After seeing this news, the comments that were originally initiated on the Internet by some people with ulterior motives gradually accepted this result under the persuasion of rational netizens.

However, this result is unacceptable to some people.
