This year, the people coming from all over the world are even more surging. In Poyue Village’s Bai Mo Tun alone, there are nearly 60 local farmers and about 200 people, but the number of migratory birders is dozens of times that of the aborigines. At 4 p.m. on July 24, the reporter was chatting with oxygen absorbers in front of the Hundred Devils Cave, where, on average, a dump truck passed by every five minutes, raising mud and dust. Dozens of permaculture condominiums are rising as fast as they can. This is chaos, and a precursor to even more chaos. The Bama Senior Care Service Demonstration Center, built by the Guangxi Civil Affairs Department, is the first high-rise building in Baimotun. Dong Yuewu, director of the center, remembers 2009, when the center had just finished construction. Cars drove all the way from Poyue Village, only to see the center’s 2 villas and a 7-story high-rise standing abruptly, appearing out of place with the surrounding farming civilization. Chen Tiejun, Department of Abdominal Surgery, Cancer Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University Nowadays, the residential bases of about 60 households in Bai Mo Tun have been divided up by foreign private investment. The businessmen agreed with the farmers: “Build a health apartment on your home base, one of the floors will be for you to live after completion, and the rest of the levels will be operated by us for 30 years. 30 years later, the whole building will be yours.” Who could resist such a deal when their grandchildren could be born with the golden key to the whole building in 30 years without paying a single penny? As a result, almost every household in Baimotun has been injected with money by foreign investors or international consortia, and health apartments are towering everywhere, with the density of elevator houses being no less than that of a big, prosperous city. Businessmen are walking on two legs. On the one hand, they are selling 20-year rights to use the apartments for 80,000-90,000 RMB, and on the other hand, they are offering monthly rentals ranging from 500 RMB to 2,000 RMB. Some of the “bare rooms” start at 500-700 yuan per month, but the tenants have to buy their own furniture. If the apartment provides a refrigerator, the price will increase by 50 RMB; if a washing machine is needed, the price will increase by 50 RMB …… Most of the apartments do not include electricity in the monthly rent, which costs 1 RMB per unit. But in order to make it easier for cars to get in and out, concrete has been built at the entrance of the apartments, blocking the open ditch used for drainage. The spacing between the apartments is also getting tighter and tighter, and Grandpa Tang issued a helpless: “You used to be able to shake hands, but now you can kiss.” He Dongzi, a Shanghai resident here, also lamented that when he first arrived in 2009, the Hundred Devil Caves were free of charge. Now foreign investors have contracted the right to operate the Hundred Devil Cave, the single charge for entering the cave is 70 yuan, and the monthly card is 300 yuan, but also divided into single and double day entry …… “Bama mentality” test Businessmen finely calculate the input, return, gross profit, net profit, Bama people are bashful still. In the village of Po Yue, the value of the aborigines, even if overnight steep increase, still follow the simple thinking, life as before. In this regard, Shanghai native Lin Ke-yong knows it very well. Last month, he came back from the market in Poyue Village and took a ride on a tricycle with a helper from the locals. See the driver hard work, he stuffed the other 5 yuan to say “do not find”, but the other party insisted on charging 2 yuan, a hard refund of 3 yuan. Grandpa Tang went to buy vegetables, wild vegetables 3 yuan a hand, he asked people “5 yuan two to sell or not”, the other party is not “accommodating”, said “do not buy pull down”. The “migratory birds” also found that when there are more food options, the locals still have a light meal, a handful of wild vegetables added to plain water, that is, a bowl of soup. It seems to confirm a proverb somewhere: only a quarter of what you eat is used to sustain life, and the other three quarters are used to feed businessmen and doctors. As a result, many people have shifted the focus of their research from the unproven “bama therapy” to the actual “bama mentality”. In 2010, Bama drought, half an hour away from the village of longevity villagers can only come to the hundred magic tunnels every day to fetch water. After getting acquainted with the villagers, He Dongzi was invited to visit the centenarians in their homes. He was amazed that the secret of longevity is to live a simple life without extravagant expectations. Because of the mountains, there are very few rice fields in the area, and the cliffs are used to grow corn; because there is not enough rice, they can only mix corn to cook porridge, 3 times a day, every time corn porridge; because they cannot afford soybean oil, they use a plant called “fire hemp” to replace it; they have a long-term vegetarian diet. Only one pig is killed a year round. To make a living, many old people in their fifties and sixties still work at sunrise and sunset, often climbing the cliffs like an old monkey, with their backpacks filled with pigweed or bush. Live, is the only purpose. The “migratory bird man” is determined to follow suit. “If not for the encounter with cancer, who would want to try such a simple life in Bama?” Sister Ma, a 60-year-old ovarian cancer patient and an executive at Southwest, a giant in the domestic insurance industry, said this. Ma was seen in February last year for flatulence, and upon investigation, her belly was full of ascites. After the subsequent surgery, the abdominal cavity was opened and the tumor was badly adhered to the surrounding blood vessels, so the doctor then sewed up the stomach. Then after 6 times of chemotherapy, the tumor shrank and finally the surgery was indicated. She had another surgery in Shanghai Cancer Hospital and the pathology showed that it was a highly malignant hypofractionated adenocarcinoma. After the surgery, she underwent 5 more chemotherapy treatments. The chemotherapy liquid that dripped on the floor and could corrode the floor not only made her fingernails black and her blood vessels as hard as plastic tubes, but also hurt the enemy a hundred and destroyed herself a thousand. Chemotherapy kills cancer cells while also destroying their own immunity to the end, at one time, she was unable to test a number of indicators in the blood routine. Every time she went back to the hospital, the patients were sitting weakly in rows and rows like hanging water for the flu, full of fighting spirit to kill the cancer cells. When she finished the mainstream treatment and was rechecked 3 months later, the tumor was not under control, but had metastasized to the spleen and part of the lymph. Along with this sad news, her patient swore that she was gone forever after her last chemotherapy treatment. Stimulated by this, Ma suspended chemotherapy. A friend of her brother’s, who had advanced liver cancer and was predicted by doctors to live less than 2 months, encountered Bama during his travels in the clouds and lived there for a year and a half so far, with no expansion of his tumor. Sister Ma also came to Bama to give it a try. In the past six months, the years in the mountains have been quiet and she has realized that “cancer cells are not here to kill you, but to make you let go of your desires.” One small incident had a great impact on her. One day, she went to the Bama’s kitchen and could not find a 4th condiment except oil, salt and soy sauce. The Bama girl laughed and said, “I’m afraid the five-star hotel chef will have to cry when he comes to cook the food.” This statement shocked Ma: Bama people can lower their appetite to such a low level, what else can not be put down? Reflect on yourself. In the company in a high position, everyone respected, but behind the glamour, she always had a knot in her heart. “into the team for more than ten years, I have never been the second-in-command, above the leadership, below the staff. A leader’s opinion, even if incorrect to listen to, to the following employees have to continue to guide, explain. Personality and decided that they are not ‘muddle’ material.” In addition, the company’s daily 200 million yuan of funds in and out, in her hands never wrong, the long-term pressure can be imagined. Now she’s trying to get back to being called “Sister Ma” instead of “Mr. Ma. She focuses her attention on punctual water fetching, punctual mountain climbing, and marks the daily market on her calendar, today the Poyue village market, tomorrow the Bama county market, and the day after tomorrow the Kajin township market, a 3-day cycle. The common feature of these things is that they require perseverance, but not brain power, and have nothing to do with the city or the mind. She also sacrifices her time in conversations with grass and trees, or in the middle of the mountainside where no one is around, often suddenly calling out to herself – “You’re great!” Today, the hair that had fallen out from chemotherapy is gradually growing back, and she feels more energized than ever before. She tries not to think about the review, saying, “Self-perception is the indicator, no one knows you better than you do.” Getting a new lease on life Lao Bu, a Beijing writer who calls bladder tumors “buddies,” has also changed himself forever. He discovered hematuria four years ago and later recognized the words “solid occupancy” in the doctor’s handwriting. In those four years, his father, father-in-law and best friend were diagnosed with cancer after him, and they all passed away before him after receiving regular treatment. He survived without surgery, tried “7-day fasting”, took folk herbs, and endured loneliness in Bama, and survived in a daze. Late at night, Lao Bu will think of May 2010, when his father’s first anniversary of colon cancer surgery, his father developed intestinal obstruction. The doctor recommended the latest targeted therapy of$130,000 for a single course of treatment, but said “no efficacy package”. This made Lao Bu think backwards, when it is difficult for external medical treatment to effectively fight the disease, should we not change ourselves from the inside? He told the reporter that cancer is not formed overnight, but a series of long-term work, life, psychological stress and bad habits accumulated over a long period of time, which eventually lead to the formation of a system that can create cancer in your whole body. At this time, you can remove the products generated by this system, i.e. tumor, but the system continues to produce continuously, so there is recurrence and metastasis. He has been to the Bama County People’s Hospital, which I’m afraid is the coldest and least queuing county hospital in the country. In his opinion, why do Bama people have less cancer? It is because their mindset determines their lifestyles, and their lifestyles do not make their bodies constitute a cancer manufacturing system. When understanding this truth, Lao Bu knew that the only way to save himself was to help himself. The old man could no longer hold a pen because the cancer had metastasized to his brain, but he was still thinking of leaving the rest of his money to his son for medical expenses. The son said to his dad, “I’m not going to the hospital, I’m going to save myself.” The father admonished his son for having studied so much: “Can you save your own life?” The son replied, “I don’t know if I can save my own life, but who can promise that I can save my life?” He said to himself, “The whole world is touching the stone to cross the river to cure cancer, instead of letting others touch the stone to cross the river, I should take the stone of my own life and cross my own river. He rented a whole house in Pak Mo Tun and listed 23 bad habits on paper, including 10 cups of coffee a day, one famous foreign brand of hamburger a day, alcoholism, staying up late, etc. This one crime was then torn up and never committed again. He made up his mind to “learn the Bama lifestyle and subtract from himself.” After subtracting, he no longer cares whether the tumor in his bladder is big or small, but all other indicators of his body are better than young people. In a recent book, he wrote, “When I was diagnosed with cancer, I didn’t think I would live past three years. Now, I don’t know when that countdown will come?” However, not all cancer patients are as resistant to Western medicine and surgery as Lao-Bu is. Mr. Zhu, a lung cancer patient from Guangzhou, has not completely given up on surgery and radiation and chemotherapy just because he lives in Bama. Although, radiation and chemotherapy have baked his skin, and his hands and feet are still numb after six months of chemotherapy. Mr. Zhu thinks the same as Cui Xuedong of the Blue Tie charity. They believe that, like a cauldron full of water, under the pot is a dry fire, next to the pot is a child, see the water boiling hot is about to tumble out of the pot to scald the child, the bottom of the kettle is of course the fundamental solution, but in the nick of time, is a spoonful of cold water in time to work? But in the nick of time, is it better to throw a spoonful of cold water in time or to remove the fire in a hurry? When the tumor is so big and growing geometrically, threatening the surrounding organs at any time, surgery is like throwing a spoonful of cold water to calm down temporarily, providing a valuable time difference for the kettle to pull out the fire to solve the root. “I’m all about taking advantage of this time gap and changing what I can. Like the Bama people, eliminate distractions, stay away from fame and fortune, and live regularly.” As a local official in a district in Guangzhou, Mr. Zhu’s current mindset is, “I am willing to shine shoes even if I am asked to go out on the street, just for the quiet of my mind.” Although most cancers are still difficult to cure, from the moment you change yourself, the cancer cells have been mixed with your troops and you slowly have the conditions to counterattack. They believe that reconstructing yourself is the only way to get a new life.
