On October 19, the movie "816" was officially released! This film, rated 8.0 on Douban, tells the life anthem of six families with children suffering from tumors. Viewers walking into the cinema expressed that they "laughed and laughed until they cried"...

The protagonists of the film are six children battling tumors, representing countless little warriors around us. Although they are in the hospital, they still yearn for a normal life: dancing, painting, "racing," and "holding concerts" with friends.

Additionally, the film delicately portrays the mutual support among the six families, the close collaboration between doctors and parents, and the hospital's efforts to organize festive activities for the children... In this war without gunpowder, parents and medical staff are not only guardians of the children but also comrades in arms.

In reality, these little warriors often require long-term treatment to win this prolonged battle of both body and mind. Each touching true story conveys to everyone: in the face of illness, love and hope coexist, and childhood tumors can be overcome! The future will still hold endless wonders!

Statistics show that around 300,000 children are diagnosed with tumors worldwide each year. Childhood tumors are not just smaller versions of adult tumors; they are two entirely different diseases. The most important distinction is that the overall survival rate for childhood tumors can exceed 80%, far surpassing that of adult tumors!

The effectiveness of childhood tumor treatment is higher for several reasons. One reason is that the characteristics of the tumors make them more sensitive to chemotherapy. Another reason is that children's physical condition allows them to endure higher intensities of radiation and chemotherapy, and their recovery capacity is stronger after treatment. Furthermore, parents are increasingly prioritizing regular check-ups for their children, leading to early detection, diagnosis, and treatment, which significantly improve treatment outcomes.

The types of tumors children suffer from vary, and the corresponding treatments also differ. For the overall treatment of childhood tumors, it is essential to "know yourself and know your enemy" to avoid defeat in a hundred battles. Therefore, before starting treatment, it is crucial to assess the tumor, including identifying the type of tumor and confirming whether there has been metastasis. Viewing tumor treatment as a battle requires comprehensive planning and strategic deployment based on the enemy's situation to achieve the greatest victory.

In the movie "816," characters experience leukemia, osteosarcoma, germ cell tumors, and brain tumors. With timely and appropriate treatment, many children can recover, and some even achieve complete healing! (Click the blue text to view disease education.)

The six children in the film bravely face their battles in their unique ways, living each moment to the fullest. The usually gloomy Jack, upon hearing he could be discharged, tearfully said, "Silly, I want to live a long time!" With blurred vision from the tumor, he worked hard to see his parents' faces before surgery, telling them, "I will fight hard..."

Among us, there are also six Sunflower ambassadors. This year, they have all overcome tumors for over five years! We have witnessed the changes in the lives of these children and their families through our lens, documenting their courageous journeys!

In the film, the doorplate number of the children's ward, 816, was creatively altered to read BIG—"Being Is Gift." While the burden of illness is heavy, love and courage shine brightly. Life is precious, and may we all cherish the present, striving together to ignite hope!
