When the man was 12 years old, the doctor told him he had just one year to live. He was also told that only 3 other people in the world had the same illness as him. All of them only lived about a year or two. But now the man has just celebrated his 30th birthday.

Doctors had no idea why his treatment (治疗) was so      △     . The hospital sent his tumor off to be studied and they continued giving him MRI scans (核磁共振成像扫描) every year up until just now. Following the treatment for his brain tumor he was left with short term memory loss. “All my long term memory is fine. I can tell you anything about my past, but may not remember your name after meeting you or what I had for breakfast or why I called you,” he said. To help with his short term memory loss, he carries around a small notebook to write things down he knows he will need to remember later.

For most of his younger years he didn’t think too much about the future and tried to enjoy every day as if it might be his last. He didn’t care about eating healthily or exercising knowing he might not live to see tomorrow. But now, after getting married and having kids, his idea has changed. “Now, I want to live as long as possible to see them grow old. I want to eat healthily and exercise so I can play with them throughout their whole childhood. I want to see what kind of people they become,” he said.
