To Grammar:
1) I would like to apologize if I did hurt you inadvertently in my last post. It's not my intention to offend you or anyone else on this website. Maybe you are not used to my writing style, it's not your fault, it's mine to talk to stranger in this seemingly offensive and sarcastic way. I need to learn to be more gentle and tender in the future.
2) A 41yr old woman died of cancer. Normal or abnormal? It all depends on how you see it. From the view of a physician, nothing is wrong there. 40s is just the age of highest risk to get a tumor. Actually, there are still millions of even younger people killed by this demon every year on this planet. Just because they are not "famous", no one cares about their death just as no one cares about their lives. A star vanishes from the sky, everyone sees it; a grass withers, no one pays any attention to it. As a matter of life and death, I believe both are of similar significance. A celebrity has enjoyed enough in his life, reputation, money, popularity… all good things in the world, yet he is still not immune from diseases, even though he could pay for the best hospital and medicine, eventually he is not immune from death. From this respect, I would say the God in fair. What makes the world so unfair is human being ourselves. As a member of grassroots class, I don’t think I need to express any grievance or condolence to the death of an actress, who has no relationship with my own life at all. To be honest, I was far more shocked at the death of Lan lingyun, who was drowned in this early spring at her 20' s.
3) No one would argue that the environment here is hundreds times better than that of our motherland, and this may be good for our health. But there is no evidence, to my knowledge, showing that the incidence of cancer in Canada is lower than in China. You got that impression, maybe just because the people you contact here are most new immigrants, who are younger and thus more healthy. The case of your friend is probably just a coincidence. Otherwise, I would raise an opposite example. Have you heard of Peng Xiaoming, a chinese immigrant in Toronto, who got leukemia after he moved to this country?
4) I agree with you that everyone "should take good care of himself, because health is our most important wealth." But still, a lot of things in life are beyond our control. |
