June 7, 2018. At a medical facility called dignitas (dignity) in Switzerland, Fu Daren was accompanied by relatives to receive euthanasia services from the hospital.
Fu Daren smiled and said to a blonde ** in front of him"Does this thing need to be stuffed? ”As he spoke, Fu Daren pointed to the small glass of liquid he was holding in his hand.
The blonde ** in a purple dress said to Fu Daren with a smile"No, you can drink him in two or three sips, but you have to drink it quickly! ”
After speaking, Fu Daren drank the liquid medicine in the cup with four small sips with a painful face, not because of how unpleasant the liquid was, but because it was very difficult for Fu Daren to swallow every bite. Years of illness have severely damaged Fu's esophagus and digestive tract.
Finally, after drinking all the liquid, Fu Daren lay down in his son's arms with a calm expression.
After a while, the instrument connected to Fu Daren's body walked in a straight line, and the **, who was responsible for providing "euthanasia" services to Fu Daren, and the doctor came to test Fu Daren and announced that Fu Daren had died.
Fu Daren is the first Chinese in the whole of Asia to go to Switzerland and choose euthanasia.
Speaking of Fu Daren, I believe many sports fans who are a little older will be familiar with it. Because as the host of the earliest NBA game commentary in China, Fu Daren has accompanied many people in their youth.
Many of the commentary terms in basketball games are coined by Fu Daren, such as: "horseback archery", "hot pot", "cold arrow" and so on. These names have been used in the commentary of basketball games to this day, and they are deeply rooted in the hearts of every fan.
In addition to basketball events, Fu Daren has also hosted popular sports programs such as "Everyone's Music", "Taiwan Television Stadium", "Golf", "Chinese Professional Basketball", "Boxing Championship" and so on.
But who would have thought that such a well-known host of a sports event would have an old age when he was tortured in every way in his illness.
Fu Daren's childhood was spent in exile. At that time, when the Anti-Japanese War broke out, Fu Daren's father, Fu Zhonggui, was the commander of the Lubei Guerrilla Army, and died heroically in a battle in September 1938.
Although his father was an officer, in that era when life was not as good as mustard, it was not easy for his mother to pull him up without his father. The little pension given by the Kuomintang army could not last long at all.
Mother took Fu Daren to flee everywhere and grew up eating hundreds of family meals. After the end of the Anti-Japanese War, because of the identity of the surviving family of the officer, Fu Daren was able to enter the "bereaved school" established by Song Meiling in Nanjing, and Fu Daren's mother had also passed away at this time.
The adrift Fu Daren finally chose to go to Taiwan together to continue his study and life when the Kuomintang army was defeated and retreated to Taiwan.
Fu Daren has the blood of Shandong people in his body, he grew up very tall among his peers, and was a good basketball player as early as school. Originally, Fu Daren's wish was to become a professional basketball player, but at the age of 27, an injury ruined Fu Daren's future.
There was no way, Fu Daren could only retire to work and enter Taiwan TV. The station considered that Fu Daren was a professional basketball player, so he thought about letting Fu Daren try to explain sports events. What I didn't expect was that Fu Daren was born to eat this bowl of rice, and he found the feeling as soon as he appeared on the camera, especially the show that ended quickly became popular in the station.
After becoming famous, Fu Daren became a famous mouth in the sports event commentary industry. However, God always likes to play tricks on people, and at the same time as Fu Daren's career was successful, there were problems in his family marriage.
Fu Daren's first wife's name was Rao Lizhen. As early as when Fu Daren was a basketball player, the two had already entered the palace of marriage.
But with Fu Daren's injury and retirement, Rao Lizhen can no longer see the husband who was dominating on the basketball court back then. What turned to life is a husband who goes out early and returns late and often stays up all night because he has to explain the broadcast event. Different life acceptances make it very rare for two people to meet, and there is basically no emotional exchange.
In the end, this marriage could not be maintained, and Fu Daren and Rao Lizhen divorced. After the divorce, Rao Lizhen soon found her second wife Zheng Zhengjue in Taiwan.
Zheng Zhengjue is also a host of Taiwan TV, and the same work rhythm and intersection of work make the two often have time to meet together.
The marriage with Zheng Zhengjue is very happy, which Fu Daren has never doubted. In order to adapt to her husband's work and make time to take care of the family, Zheng Zhengjue switched from hosting to editing, so as to avoid the situation that the two of them could not take care of the family under huge work pressure at the same time.
Similarly, after seeing his wife's dedication, Fu Daren also chose not to have any more children, but to concentrate on raising the stepson left by Zheng Zhengjue and her ex-husband.
However, Fu Daren's choice was not wise, because it left a foreshadowing for a marriage crisis between the two of them many years later.
At the age of 50, Fu Daren was exposed to a marriage change.
Fu Daren met a 17-year-old woman surnamed Chen in a restaurant. After the two met, they were deeply attracted to each other. Fu Daren's knowledge, humor and literacy are deeply attracted to this young woman. And Fu Daren found a long-lost enthusiasm in his young life.
In this way, Fu Daren had a deviant affair with this "Miss Chen", and also gave birth to a baby boy. This incident was later photographed and reported by tabloid reporters, and it became a hot topic on the streets for a while.
Everyone thought that the marriage between Fu Daren and Zheng Zhengjue was divorced, but what they didn't expect was that in the end, Zheng Zhengjue made a decision that surprised everyone.
Zheng Zhengjue agreed with Fu Daren and Chen Qiuping to take him home to live, so he formed an extremely complex family.
Fu Daren, Zheng Zhengjue and Chen Qiuping's "threesome" has become a topic that Taiwan media has been talking about. Because he was not officially married, Fu Daren did not face a lawsuit for "bigamy".
No one knew what was going on, and it wasn't until after Fu Daren's death that Zheng Zhengjue said why.
It turned out that when Zheng Zhengjue and Fu Daren went back to their hometown in Shandong to visit relatives, they realized that Fu Daren's hometown valued boys very much. Back then, because of Zheng Zhengjue's busy work and poor health, he never mentioned this matter.
Later, Zheng Zhengjue wanted to give Fu Daren another child, but she had missed her youth, and it was obviously impossible for her to do it again, so "giving birth to a boy" has become a hidden pain for the couple.
Finally ten years later, when Fu Daren was 60 years old, Chen Qiuping gave birth to a boy for her white-headed husband and named him Fu Junhao.
For Fu Daren, it is indeed a great joy to get a son in old age. But because of his age, Fu Daren often feels very sad when he sees his children.
After all, he is already over sixty years old, and the days when he can be with his children are really numbered.
Since he was a child, Fu Junhao knew that his father was a very great host, although sometimes his elderly father could not often accompany him to grow up and play, but none of this would affect his father's great image in Fu Junhao's heart.
In the face of his aging body, Fu Daren knew that his children would definitely be ready to accept their father's departure earlier than other people's children.
So often Fu Daren would say to Fu Junhao:"I could die tomorrow".
At the beginning, when Mrs. talked about such things, Fu Junhao would cry, but after a long time, Fu Junhao seemed to accept this fact in his heart. Although he was still young at the time, he was already a little calm when he thought that his father would leave him early.
But what really made Fu Junhao feel the pain of the death of his relatives was the death of his maternal grandmother. Fu Junhao's maternal grandmother is actually not as old as his father. But he looks very old, because he suffers from Alzheimer's, so in the eyes of Fu Junhao, his grandmother's life is a kind of suffering.
But even if he hasn't received much love from his grandmother since he was a child, Fu Junhao still has a heartfelt emotion for his grandmother, an emotion that blood is thicker than water.
So on the day his grandmother left, Fu Junhao instinctively felt the sadness of the death of his relatives.
When his grandmother was sent to the emergency room, Fu Junhao saw the whole process of first aid, and when various instruments intervened in his grandmother's body, Fu Junhao finally understood what his father meant.
At this moment, he finally felt the fragility of life.
Shortly after the death of Fu Junhao's maternal grandmother, Fu Junhao's maternal grandfather also passed away. It's just that compared to the pain of his grandmother before his death, Fu Junhao's maternal grandfather walked very "simply", just because he fell in the toilet and caused a cerebral hemorrhage, and he was not tortured much, and it took only a day before and after.
The death of his grandmother and grandfather made Fu Junhao feel very uncomfortable, but his father comforted Fu Junhao and said"Everyone is going to die, one day you will say goodbye to me, there is no feast in the world that will not be dispersed, don't be sad. ”
Hearing this, Fu Junhao finally understood what death meant.
Perhaps it is precisely because he accepted the fact that "people will die eventually" under the persecution of his father Fu Daren since he was a child, so when his father Fu Daren chose to perform euthanasia, Fu Junhao, who was less than 30 years old, would be so calm.
As time passed, Fu Daren's body began to have many problems, as he had expected.
Due to cataracts, Fu Daren's eyesight deteriorated very much, and the vision in his left eye ended up being only 01 or so. It's basically a state of blindness. But this is not the disease that really bothered Fu Daren.
Due to his frequent irregular work and diet when he used to be the host, coupled with his love of drinking, Fu Daren has been plagued by gastrointestinal diseases in his later years.
In 2016, Fu Daren suddenly felt unbearable abdominal pain, so his family rushed him to the hospital. After a doctor's examination, it was "bile duct blockage".
According to the conventional way, the last solution for bile duct blockage is to place a stent to avoid bile duct distortion and blockage, but this is not a one-and-done solution.
Due to the quality problems of medical consumables at that time, the "bile duct blockage" with this method had to be re-operated and replaced every six months. Young people are nothing, but for an octogenarian like Fu Daren, it is undoubtedly fatal.
Sure enough, in the next few years, repeated surgery to replace the stent became Fu Daren's most painful thing.
But if it was just like this, maybe it wouldn't make Fu Daren want to "euthanasia".
In 2017, when Fu Daren underwent bile duct stent surgery for the second time, doctors found several tumors in Fu Daren's abdominal cavity, and the pancreatic cancer was advanced after biopsy and testing.
Further examination found that the cancer cells had metastasized to multiple organs, and even if surgery and chemotherapy were performed at this time, Fu Daren's survival rate in the next 5 years was less than 50%.
Hearing the news, Fu Daren knew that his time was near, so he repeatedly dissuaded his family from giving up his **.
And Fu Daren's family said:"If you have cancer, you have to fight it and undergo chemotherapy. If you can't walk, we can push you. ”
With the encouragement of his family, Fu Daren finally chose a compromise plan and accepted An Ning**. That is, by taking painkillers such as morphine to relieve pain, and allowing the disease to progress, it is conservative**.
However, the pain in this process is far beyond Fu Daren's imagination. Before receiving euthanasia, Fu Daren once told people that he had to take morphine 4 times a day, and each time he had to take more than 40cc. If you take too little, the pain will be unbearable, and if you take too much, you will be groggy all day.
This kind of day made Fu Daren really "fed up", so Fu Daren once again proposed to his family the idea of "euthanasia".
Seeing Fu Daren suffering like this, in fact, his family can't bear it, but who can make up their minds to let their relatives accept euthanasia?
In the end, it was Fu Junhao who came out to break the deadlock. Because he was taught by his father to face life and death since he was a child, he had long been prepared for this in his heart. Fu Junhao became the first member of the family to support his father's choice of euthanasia.
With the support of their son, the family quickly reached an agreement on this matter. However, because there was no institution to perform euthanasia in Taiwan at that time, Fu Daren chose the Dignitas (Dignity) Comfort Clinic in Switzerland as the end of his life in 2018.
On June 7, 2018, Fu Daren and his family began to record the whole process of redemption and euthanasia in front of the camera. In addition to the scenes mentioned at the beginning of the article, Fu Daren also said a monologue.
Fu Daren said:"I have been instructed by God that tomorrow I will go to his feet and follow him, and I will be called by the grace of the Lord to rest in the bosom of the Lord, ready to go to the final destination, hoping that I will no longer be afflicted by sickness."
Seek benevolence, maybe this is the best ending!
