the reality is cruel

My landlord has encountered similar things now. She is over 70 this year, and her wife passed away a few years ago. She has two sons, one is unfilial and the other has been away for many years. She gives her two hundred yuan a month for living expenses, plus I give her more than one hundred a month. Rent a living. Last year, she went to the hospital to cut a giant tumor and cost more than 100,000 yuan. This year, she has another tumor, and her sons have to live. The operation is a huge cost. The price is that the sons have to borrow money for several years. And the old people don’t have much time, so we can weigh them and go home and wait for death. The old man cried to me every day. Once, she helped me wash the shoes at the door, and I said thank you, you don't need to do these. She said, my hands and feet are very diligent. If my health is better, I will do all the housework at home. I wash your shoes very clean. Look, they are very clean, right? Now my body is worse than every day, no one at home, I don’t know how I will die, I’m afraid no one knows if I die... You see, my face is swollen again, I have a toothache, I can’t eat, I can only drink water. But my abdominal cavity has accumulated water again, and my belly swells as soon as I drink water. You see, my belly has become like this. But I don’t drink water and my throat is dry, so I have to eat a little pear slowly. I'm really suffering, I don't want to die... I feel bad when I hear it, but I don't know what to do. I am also a worker myself. I can't help her in any way. I can only comfort her and she will get better, but I know she won't live long. But her illness could be saved. This film was taken by the Americans themselves to disrupt social harmony and stability, cause panic to the American people, discredit the government, and vainly attempt to subvert the U.S. regime, but I believe they did not collude with foreign enemy forces to make this film. John's son is lucky. I didn’t have so many feelings when I watched this film back then. After I entered the society and received only enough to make ends meet, I could only experience the kind of despair and helplessness when I really faced such things. It is estimated that most of the good people will follow the second advice of the doctor, and the children of JOHN Q can only go home and wait for death.

John Q quotes

  • Lester: [laughing in realization] I get it, you a member of the Slapaho Tribe.

  • Mitch: [while handcuffed by John to the radiator in the waiting area of the emergency room] This country man, can't go anywhere without getting' mugged, or murdered or stabbed. Kids killin' their classmates, drivebys, ya know, I won't even go into a post office any more.

    Steve Maguire: [sitting in a chair] Shut up, Mitch.

    Dr. Turner: [standing in front of them] No, you shut up. I hate the little bastard but he's right. You know how easy it is to get a gun in the country? In five minutes, boom, gun show.
