Mr. Tran Xuan Dan, 72 years old, in Quang Binh, has been fighting liver cancer for more than a year but has always maintained an optimistic spirit, regularly singing and writing poetry.
On February 26, Mr. Dan had to undergo surgery at the Vietnam - Cuba Friendship Hospital in Dong Hoi, Quang Binh province.
A surprise happened when the doctors started performing the procedure, Mr. Dan asked to sing to regain his spirit. Not only that, he humorously asked the doctor if anyone wanted to sing along to relieve stress.
Although this was the first time a patient asked to sing before surgery, Dr. Nguyen Duc Hung, Head of the Department of Idygnostic Imaging, who directly performed the procedure, also agreed.
Those who have witnessed or watched the clip recording that moment will certainly be moved. The image of Mr. Dan lying on the operating table, with thin limbs, but his eyes are still filled with faith, love for life and hope for life.
Her singing lyrics blend with the rhythmic sound of the machines, making witnesses seem to forget that they are under a stressful medical intervention.
Mr. Dan's story once again affirms the truth: Optimism is the strongest medicine for the body.
When faced with adversity, many people are often confused, sluggish or pessimistic. On the contrary, the 72-year-old man chose to accept the reality of the disease, but did not let it go beyond his spirit.
Every day of her life, she receives every moment with gratitude and appreciation. As Mrs. Tran Thi Thuan, Mr. Dan's wife, shared: "Living is still lucky, so you have to cherish every moment".
Mr. Dan's actions not only encourage those struggling with illness, but also send a message to all of us, especially young people who are worried and under pressure from countless challenges at work and in life.
The image of a man on a hospital bed singing out as a word of encouragement: How long does life take, why not choose the most active lifestyle for yourself? The difficulty is not hardship, illness or adversity, but letting one's heart fall before the body truly surrender.
Of course, optimism is not an illusion, nor is it a miracle to erase all worries. being optimistic is knowing how much I appreciate the present, being aware of the reality of difficulties, but still choosing to seek small joys and great confidence to continue to strive.
Happiness sometimes only comes from a moment of singing and living fully, even in a place that seems to have only a needle, a needle and a knife.
Just a short clip in the operating room, but has spread the warm fire across social networks, lighting up the faith of those who are facing adversity every day.
That story is truly a meaningful lesson in how to live with faith, will and know how to find happiness in any situation.
