“Dying to Survive, a 2018 Chinese drama based on the real-life story of Lu Yong, a Chinese leukemia patient who bought cheap cancer medicine from India for 1000 Chinese cancer sufferers in 2004. Itu0026#39;s called a comedy-drama but thereu0026#39;s just a little comic relief in an otherwise very serious movie. Itu0026#39;s also called a noir comedy, which gives a greater idea what youu0026#39;re in for.nItu0026#39;s very moving and realistic. The film is loosely based on the story of Lu, who has been regarded as a hero of sorts for importing and selling less expensive anticancer drugs from India to Chinese for CML patients charged huge prices by a Swiss pharmaceutical giant.”
