"When things are done, you just brush off your clothes and hide your merits and fame." Chivalrous culture occupies an extremely important position in the history of our country. After countless mergers and divisions in history, wars and famines, and the gradual disappearance of many cultures, the chivalrous culture has been passed down to this day due to its strong dissemination and strong appeal.
“Born ordinary, sincere and brave without fear.” With a chivalrous heart and a lonely courage, even if you are born ordinary, you can be fearless and move forward firmly when facing difficulties. OK. Although people who have done earth-shattering things, successfully saved thousands of lives, and changed history are admirable, the extraordinary performance of ordinary people in the ordinary is also worthy of respect and touching.
"I Am Not the God of Medicine", adapted from real events, received enthusiastic support from the audience as soon as it was released. The film released in 2018 is still ranked 12th in the mainland box office rankings. This shows how much the audience loves this film. As the prototype character of "I'm Not the God of Medicine", Lu Yong, just like the character played by Xu Zheng in the movie, also experienced being arrested and imprisoned.
Unfortunately ill
"Life is unpredictable and the future is uncertain." Human life is full of all kinds of uncertainties. For Lu Yong, the first half of his life was relatively His life was relatively smooth, but in 2002, bad luck suddenly befell him, and he was diagnosed with chronic myelogenous leukemia.
Chronic myelogenous leukemia "is a malignant tumor that affects the blood and bone marrow." Once suffering from this disease, the patient's body will produce a much higher than normal body, "a large number of unnecessary Mature white blood cells", because these cells gather inside the bone marrow, the normal hematopoietic function of the bone marrow is inhibited, leading to symptoms such as anemia and easy bleeding.
Before he was diagnosed with the disease, Lu Yong was the boss of "a knitwear export company" in Wuxi, Jiangsu. At that time, he did not expect that this disease would be so expensive. In view of Lu Yong's illness, the treatment plan at that time was to take an anti-cancer drug called "Imatinib Mesylate Tablets". This drug is very helpful in "stabilizing the condition", but the disadvantage is that it is priced too high.
The price of a box is 23,500 yuan, and one must take it every month. Lu Yong, who originally had a relatively rich family, was soon stretched. As the situation became increasingly difficult, Lu Yong noticed an anti-cancer drug from India that was produced by imitating "Gleevec".
Compared with the expensive genuine "Gleevec", the imitation price "is only 4,000 yuan per box." The huge price difference, and the negligible difference in medication effect after inspection, made Lu Yong So excited.
Full of hope, Lu Yong soon started taking "Indian anti-cancer drugs". After a period of personal experience, Lu Yong found that his condition was effectively controlled. In other words, it was feasible to replace the genuine Swiss product with an Indian imitation.
After proving the effectiveness of Indian medicine through personal experiments, Lu Yong, whose family was deteriorating, did not hesitate to give up the expensive imported medicines produced in Switzerland and choose cheap Indian anti-cancer drugs.
After a period of personal testing, Lu Yong was very confident about Indian generic drugs. He was willing to share the good news and quickly shared the good news with his patient group. Because Lu Yong has the channels to purchase this drug, many patients take the initiative to find Lu Yong and "ask him to help purchase this drug."
Great Love Has No Boundaries
"As long as there is subjective intention The act of producing and selling counterfeit drugs constitutes this crime. "Although Lu Yong knew in his heart that the generic drugs produced in India are effective in treating diseases, because the drug itself does not have a formal patent authorization, even if it is a A relatively successful generic drug, but legally it can only be regarded as a counterfeit drug, and the sale of counterfeit drugs itself is a violation of criminal law.
Lu Yong, who was very familiar with this situation, finally chose to take a huge risk to buy this imported drug for his patients after thinking about it.
As more and more people who heard about it came to Lu Yong to buy medicine, he began to be nicknamed "The God of Medicine". In order to further reduce the burden on patients and considering that the demand is large enough, Lu Yong chose to go to India in person and find ways to lower prices while inspecting.
After going to India, Lu Yong used his excellent business acumen to successfully reduce the price of a box of drugs that originally cost 4,000 yuan to a group purchase price of more than 200 yuan. Compared with the initial price of imported drugs, now "you can survive at just one percent of the price." In such a huge contrast, more and more patients have a chance to survive.
A box sells for more than 200 yuan, and Lu Yong himself actually doesn’t make much money. His behavior of always bringing medicine to the patients regardless of difficulties and obstacles reflects the extraordinary greatness in the ordinary.
In fact, when Lu Yong discovered that this medicine was effective for his body, he could not tell it. When patients came to him and asked him to help buy it, he could also choose to refuse, but In the end, not only did he not refuse, but he also shouldered part of the transportation costs on his own. As Lu Yong's name became known to more and more people, more and more patients began to ask him to help with their purchases. The number of people requesting purchasing agents is as high as "thousands of people."
As the number of buyers continues to increase, the risks Lu Yong takes are also increasing. Once what he has done is discovered, he is likely to be arrested and imprisoned for "producing and selling counterfeit drugs." Lu Yong, who fully understood the risks he was taking, finally chose to continue helping patients purchase on their behalf after weighing many factors.
Because he also suffers from chronic myelogenous leukemia, he understands very well how much pain this disease can bring to people, and how much the use of original imported drugs can bring to an otherwise normal family. of blow. "You often walk on the roadside and your shoes don't get wet." When the contemporary shopping behavior intensified, Lu Yong failed to escape by chance and was eventually arrested by the prosecutor.
Changing history
"Whether this medicine is fake or not, only those of us who take it know." Not long after Lu Yong was arrested, those patients who had been helped by him immediately Spontaneously organized to intercede for him. After considering various circumstances, on January 27, 2015, the procuratorate chose to request the court to withdraw the prosecution.
The court approved the request to withdraw the prosecution, and on the afternoon of two days later, "Lu Yong was released." Lu Yong, who had gone through a period of imprisonment, was very grateful to his fellow patients and also very grateful to the procuratorate for his extrajudicial show mercy. After regaining his freedom, he decided to establish an organization similar to a "volunteer organization or charity foundation" with the main purpose of serving leukemia patients.
Although Lu Yong has not yet been able to completely cure his condition, with the help of national medical insurance, he can enjoy genuine drugs at a much lower price than before.
In fact, it was Lu Yong’s incident that successfully promoted the improvement of the law. In 2016, the Supreme People's Procuratorate pointed out in the "Opinions on Fully Fulfilling Procuratorial Functions and Providing Strong Judicial Guarantee for Promoting the Construction of a Healthy China" that as long as drugs with "no harm to others" and other adverse consequences are sold within the permitted range, It can be "not treated as a crime."
In 2019, my country's Drug Administration Law directly deleted the provision that imported drugs that have not been approved by relevant departments are classified as counterfeit drugs, making "illegal drugs "Imported drugs" are no longer counted as counterfeit drugs, so even selling this kind of drugs will not constitute the crime of "selling counterfeit drugs."
Summary:
"Be willing to give. Love has no boundaries. "Lu Yong was originally just an ordinary boss, but after suffering from chronic myelogenous leukemia, he gradually established a deep relationship with his patients. After experiencing a huge change in his family, he chose to take risks at critical moments and serve more people. He brought hope of life to the patients, and his behavior reflected a kind of great love.
As the prototype character of "I'm Not the God of Medicine", although Lu Yong also went to jail for purchasing Indian generic drugs to save people, due to the efforts of his fellow patients to plead for mercy, he was extrajudicial under the procuratorate. Under Rong Qing's consideration, he was released soon after being imprisoned.
After he was released from prison, the state first included this drug in the scope of national medical insurance, and then successively revised the regulations, which reflected the humane feelings under the cold regulations.
