In the film, his tone is calm, his words do not lose the usual humor, and his heartfelt speech has attracted wide attention.
Death is an important event in life. For this gray-haired old man, many audiences were moved and filled with heartaches.
Fu said in the film: "I am following god's instructions. Tomorrow I will walk at his feet and follow him. I will be called by the Lord and rest in his heart."
It takes great courage to face death
Fu darien, who suffers from pancreatic cancer, wrote to Tsai in 2016 asking for "euthanasia", but it was rejected.

Fu Darrell
Fu was 83 years old when the obstruction was first detected, and doctors advised him to have his gall bladder removed as soon as possible.
However, fu dareen had undergone an operation to remove almost half of his stomach because of illness earlier in his life, and his digestive system had been bothering him for years.
Now because of bile duct obstruction and stent surgery, for over 80 years of Fu Darene, is undoubtedly worse.
As he had made clear, I wanted to die with dignity, not cancer.

On February 24, 2019, Fu's family released a video of his euthanasia, which caused a stir online.
The video shows Fu dressed in his favorite clothes, clean and tidy, and accompanied by his son and wife.
In the video, Fu Daren held a small cup of potion in his hand. Fu Daren looked at the cup in his hand for a while and listened carefully to the doctor's instructions.
Is this cup of small liquid medicine is about to end his life, I do not know what fu Daren at the moment in the mind.

Fu Daren drank the euthanasia potion
However, his son, who was sitting next to him, stared at the potion that was about to end his father's life. His face was flushed and he must have been suffering even more.
The doctor asked Fu, "Are you ready?"
Fu said he was ready and asked, "Do you want to swallow it all? Can we have two?"
Doctor: "Yes, two or three bites will do, but you may swallow it quickly."
"So as soon as possible?"
"Yes, because it's very bitter."

Then, Fu Daren asked again whether it must be a mouthful to drink, and finally choose to drink the heavy cup of liquid medicine into five mouthfuls.
In the video, this small conversation is very calm, but people can read a lot from it.
It was a choice to end his own life. He was told by the doctor that "the sooner the better", so he voluntarily chose to leave this world by euthanasia. Fu must have thought deeply before making this decision.
But at this moment, fu Darren's heart must be more or less hesitant. Then the reason given by the doctor -- "bitter", very simple and very helpless, in the end of life can taste the taste of "bitter".

Buddhism suffers deeply. All living beings suffer, whether they are heavenly beings or human beings, or people suffering in hell, among the six ways, no one is spared.
Among them, of course, are those who watched their loved ones leave.
In the video, fu Darren drank the potion of the moment, Fu Darren was relieved, the side of the son was difficult to hide his emotions, tears in his eyes, holding his father said: "Dad, we love you".
Unlike their red-faced son, Fu's wife remained calm throughout, smiling and graceful. As soon as her husband took the medicine, she checked the time and said, "Great, it's exactly 12:58."

Fu finally fell asleep peacefully in the arms of his son, ending his 85-year journey on earth.
A life full of legends
Back in 1933, China was suffering an unprecedented ordeal.
This year, Fu Darene was born in Jinan, Shandong province. His father Fu Zhonggui was a soldier of the Chinese National Revolutionary Army who took part in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and belonged to the guerrilla army in Northern Shandong Province.

Fu Daren interviews Yao Ming
On New Year's Eve in 1991, Fu and his wife attended the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, performing a series of programs called "Shandong Da Zhen".
In addition to successful career, Fu Daren legendary emotional experience more people with relish. Fu said in his autobiography the Legend of Darien that he had been married 2.5 times in his life, involving three women.
At the age of 25, Fu, just a basketball player, met Rao Lizhen, then a journalism student, on the sidelines of a friendly game at school.
"Several mulan players came to say hello," he wrote in his autobiography. "I only remember Miss Rao's number."

The couple married shortly after and had a daughter, but life was tight.
At that time, Rao Lizhen did nursing work in a nursing home. After the birth of their child, the couple were too busy to take care of their work, and helpless at economic hardship, so they eventually hired a nanny suffering from mental illness.
Also due to the nanny's mistake, the young daughter accidentally fell into the septic tank, fortunately there is no big problem, but it makes the husband and wife two people quarrel, fu Darene later wrote about this in his autobiography, sighed: "no money husband and wife Pepsi sorrow."
In addition, Fu was injured and had to give up his basketball career, which caused him to be bad-tempered for a long time and seriously affected the couple's love life.

When her daughter was 4 years old, Rao applied to work as a nurse on a medical team in Syria for three years.
Although Rao lizhen will send $500 a month to her family as living expenses, but the couple live in different places for years, it will inevitably affect their feelings.
When two people in father and daughter wait for 3 years to think bitterly want a reunion, Rao Lizhen flies to the United States from Syria, began another period of nurse career, after Rao Lizhen settles in the United States, two people are more get together less from much.
In his autobiography, Fu recalled the incident with great pain: "It was a bolt from the blue, shattering my body and mind. I changed and began to make a lot of girlfriends." Their marriage also ended.

Fu dareen divorced his first wife, Rao Lizhen, and met his second wife, Zheng Zhengjue. She was gentle, elegant and beautiful as a flower, and they soon fell in love.
However, zheng Zheng-jue was already married and had a daughter with her husband lei Xue-ming.
Lei xueming, a naval officer, met his wife zheng Zhengjue for talks in a cafe after she showed signs of cheating on him.
In his autobiography, Fu recalled, "With a bottle of sleeping pills containing 120 pills, they concluded that they were ready to die for love at any time."

In the cafe, Lei Xueming difficult to hide his wife's hate, and even threatened fu Daren with a gun to leave his wife. To save his life, Fu had to leave Taiwan to coach in Malaysia.
Originally thought with Zheng Zhengjue to be bound to break at this, after Fu Daren left, Zheng Zhengjue and Lei Xueming's marriage did not improve, two people's feelings gradually broken, the final choice of divorce.
That Zheng Zheng-jue divorces the news, Fu Daren and Zheng Zheng-jue are quickly linked up, plus two people are peers, with the host, topic speculation, feelings of nature increasingly deep.
As both of them had been married once, they did not value the wedding ceremony any more and chose to get married in a low-key way.

Fu Daren and Zheng Zhengjue
After marriage, the emotional life of 2 people is also gradually warming up, just like a pair of model husband and wife, Zheng Zhengjue and Fu Darene spent more than 40 years of time, Zheng Zhengjue is to accompany Fu Darene to go through all the life process.
Fu Darien once commented on Zheng zhengjue: "She encouraged my career and took care of my life. When SHE made mistakes, she could bear them, such as punting a boat in the belly of a prime minister, and carrying an aircraft carrier in her belly."
The "mistake" fu made was the remaining half year of his marriage.
After the age of 50, Fu's career reached a peak, especially after appearing on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, his popularity was greatly increased and the number of fans was increasing day by day.
That's when 51-year-old Fu daren met 17-year-old Chen.

Daren Fu and Miss Chen
Miss Chen is fu Darun's fan, 2 people meet for the first time in some activity, face this lively and clever young girl, Fu Darun falls in love at first sight, disregard zheng Zhengjue's objection, spread out the pursuit at speed.
Fu daren once said that he had come into contact with many beautiful young girls, but his heart throb, only Miss Chen.
In the face of the idol's pursuit, Miss Chen soon fell to fu Darene's lover, and soon gave birth to a boy, named Fu Junhao.

Fu Daren and his son
Zheng zhengjue and Fu Daren had been married for many years, but had never had a baby. Zheng was hit hard when he first learned about Miss Chen.
But at a time when such things were common in Taiwan, Cheng decided to be an open-minded wife, picking up Miss Chen and raising Fu himself.
Fu Daren called Miss Chen "half a lady", the family also get along harmoniously.
The life-and-death struggle of old age
People in their old age, the function of the body is not as good as before, this time the most afraid is sick.

The Fu Daren family
Fu Darren's greatest misfortune should be diagnosed from the beginning of bile duct obstruction, in the doctor's advice, Fu Darren carried out the operation to remove the gallbladder, the operation is very smooth, fu Darren was discharged home soon after.
Originally thought to be able to spend his old age, but, fu Daren did not think of is that the pain of the disease has just begun.
Soon after, Fu Daren went to the hospital for a review, the results of the review showed that his disease had a relapse, not only a relapse but also a sharp deterioration of the disease, directly developed into advanced pancreatic cancer.
The diagnosis of cancer, like death under the ultimatum, more frightening than death is the process of waiting for death, Fu Darene so standing in front of the gate leading to death, watching the door from his closer and closer.

The medicine fu Daren took
At first, Fu was willing to cooperate with the treatment, but we all knew that the treatment for cancer would be long and painful.
The treatment required a pain patch, but unfortunately Boda rinkyo was also severely allergic to the patch, making his treatment even more painful.
During treatment, Fu often suffered from dizziness and nausea, and even suffered convulsions when he was put on an INTRAVENOUS drip.
A torment down, Fu Darren has been gaunt, he said to his family hope to end the pain through euthanasia.

The family's first reaction was definitely against it. They tried to persuade him to write his memoirs and to open an exhibition of his paintings. His son even held his own wedding while he was being treated in order to arouse Bodarin's desire to survive.
That the good news bodarren state does improve a lot of pain needles, crutches attended his son's wedding.
Only, cancer has swallowed up Fu Darren's body, his body fragile even can not stand a chemotherapy, looking at Fu Darren's increasingly haggard face, the family finally agreed to his request for euthanasia.
In 2016, Fu appealed to the Taiwan authorities to legalize euthanasia, but the petition was not accepted. Fu flew to Switzerland twice and was finally euthanized in 2018.

Before leaving, Fu complained that the illegality of euthanasia in Taiwan province forced him to die abroad.
His wife even made the video public at the founding meeting of the Peace and Happiness Promotion Association, expressing that her husband was safe and happy.
As Fu Daren said, "You outsiders don't know the pain, really, I can't say enough... Who wants to die!" It is a blessing to die surrounded by friends and family.
Who would embrace death if the pain of living were not unbearable?

This incident, online criticism is not a few, say, is nothing but a "good death is better than live."
We should respect an old man's choice. As for the legalization of euthanasia mentioned by Fu Daren, considering the hidden danger of potential crime, the illegal provisions of euthanasia in China have their rationality.
In China, the topic of death has long been taboo, but with the development of The Times, people are more and more calm about death.
Li Bai once lamented that "heaven and earth travel against each other, sharing the sorrow of thousands of years of dust". But when people face the final destination of dust, is "sadness" the only emotion and attitude?
