Recently, Cheng Wenwu, director of the Comprehensive Treatment Department at Fudan University Cancer Hospital, stated in an interview with The Paper that his "special" department had once deterred patients due to the name "palliative care". "Patients thought that coming to our hospital meant 'giving up treatment', but with the gradual change of public opinion, many late stage cancer patients came to our clinic voluntarily and requested hospitalization, hoping that they would not feel so painful when they left." With the release of the report, more and more people have realized the special lesson of "learning to say goodbye well" in this hospital. According to the doctor's explanation in the report, the so-called "palliative treatment" means not overtreating with the goal of prolonging life, nor deliberately shortening life. During the treatment process, appropriate anti-tumor drugs are added to the patient according to the condition, making the patient feel comfortable, allowing the tumor to coexist peacefully in their body, and giving the patient time to face the daily life calmly. To put it simply, this allows patients to leave with more dignity and allows their families to accept it more calmly. This is indeed not easy. Death is an ending that people spend their entire lives preparing for, but seem to never be fully prepared for. All life, from the moment of birth, cannot avoid this' tragedy '. But even today, people may still find it difficult to completely let go of this and be open-minded. This also reminds me of my childhood experiences. At that time, taking the bus to a park to play was always very enjoyable along the way. But the bus will pass by a station called "Tumor Hospital", and inside and outside the bus, you will see some patients holding X-ray photos or sitting in wheelchairs. At that time, I didn't understand what life education was, but it could be a vague form of life education: on a journey towards happiness, I saw the other side of life. Today, medical technology is advancing and the level of civilization behind healthcare is also rising. The concepts of "palliative care" and "palliative care" have emerged. In August of this year, the National Health Commission released the "Guidelines for Palliative Care Practice (2025 Edition)", which clearly states that palliative care practice is centered on terminally ill patients and their families, and is carried out in a multidisciplinary collaboration model. The main contents include pain and other symptom control, comfort care, psychological, mental, and social support, etc. This may also be a self reconciliation of human beings towards life. After all, medicine has not yet reached the level of curing all diseases (perhaps never), and it needs to shift from treating diseases to healing. In situations of helplessness, reducing the pain of patients and their families, reducing the internal friction of heavy psychological burden, and restoring the dignity and dignity of life at the end, it makes "bidding farewell well" equally important as "living well". Medical care is using another way to give people the courage to face the other side of life. And such a class should probably not just stay in the hospital. It is necessary for the whole society to listen, understand, respect, and face the full picture of life. For example, there is a common type of news that a funeral supplies store has opened at the entrance of a residential area, which has been collectively boycotted by residents, and some businesses have even had to close down due to this. This may also be a reflection of thinking: death is terrible, it must be completely erased from my field of vision. But this inevitably leads to a problem: death cannot be avoided, and there is also a demand for funeral supplies. If there is no space anywhere, where should we go? People may not be able to blame these residents harshly, but the "palliative care" in hospitals may serve as a revelation: a rational attitude is not to drive death out of sight, but to dare to bring it into discussion. Just as doctors no longer avoid the topic of "farewell", society also needs to learn to place an understanding of death in daily life. Only when we can face the finish line calmly can we truly learn how to cherish the process. As the famous philosophical proposition "Born to the Dead" reminds us, we cannot reverse the laws of nature, but we can use our unique human way to give every day and every scene of life dignity and value. People's warmth towards life, when complemented by this other aspect, is ultimately more complete. (New Society)
