Inside the hospital, Liu Yanran lay in her hospital bed. She was no longer able to get out of bed; every aspect of her daily life had to take place right there, including using the toilet. In truth, every time she had to relieve herself in bed, Liu Yanran felt an overwhelming sense of shame.
Why do so many people look forward to death in the final stages of their lives? The reason is simple: by that point, a person has lost all dignity. Defecating in bed, urinating in bed—it seemed as though her entire existence had shrunk to the dimensions of this mattress. If she were seventy or eighty years old, perhaps she could accept it, but Liu Yanran could not accept becoming like this at all.
Because she was only in her twenties! At this age, she should have been in the full bloom of youth. People her age were out enjoying their lives, but what about her? Her life had already been stripped away.
