JUN W This is a super good movie. I highly recommend. Everyone should watch it. Cause this movie is about how cancer drugs are particularly expensive. The poor people can't get medicine, and it is difficult to decide whether to save people's lives or obey the law. Pirated medicines are illegal, but people who cannot take them should be saved or not. The best thing is this movie promoted the reform of China's medical insurance. This film effect drugs for leukemia patients included in medical insurance. The dialogue that impressed me deeply was that "there is no disease in the world, only the disease of poverty". The patient is not at fault, but is Cheng Yong at fault? Patients thought of Cheng Yong as a savior. But what patients are short of money, not just medicine. "Money is life" often appears in films. In the film each group has its own difficulties. Survival difficulties for patients, The moral difficult of drug dealers, Business difficulties for businessmen, The choice of police ethics and law. The plot of the movie is managed properly and can deeply touch the hearts of the audience. In the film, the character of Cheng Yong has undergone a transformation from an ordinary character to becoming a hero, and his story reflects the reality that people at the bottom of society are struggling on the edge of survival. The character of Cheng Yong is not perfect, he is all kinds of selfish and bad, but in the movie, he also shows kindness and compassion. Other characters in the movie, such as Liu Si hui and Lu Yingying, are also three-dimensional and soulful, each carrying their own stories and dilemmas. While the film explores serious social issues, it also leaves hope and warmth. Despite the security subject， the film ends with hope and the dignity of life, giving a profound revelation. The plot of the film is compact, the emotions are real, and the actors' performances are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so that the audience can think and feel deeply. Overall, "dying to survive" is a film that can provoke the audience to think deeply, it not only reveals the problems in real society, but also reminds us to pay attention to those who are neglected. Through Cheng Yong's story, the audience is brought into a profound exploration of life, hope, and humanity.is a film that can provoke the audience to think deeply, it not only reveals the problems in the real society, but also reminds us to pay attention to those who are neglected.

The film is very realistic, and everyone can get sick and face the same predicament as the film. But everyone also has the right to survival. High-priced drugs exist in many countries, and it is hoped that more countries can reform drug prices.
