Drama helps reaffirm life for cancer patients

A drama written, directed and performed by people with cancer will take the stage of the China Millennium Monument Theatre in Beijing on Friday to serve as encouragement and inspiration for cancer patients to live a better life.

Friday is the 17th International Lung Cancer Day.

The drama, Oh, Don't Be Afraid, a coproduction of Shanghai Cancer Recovery Club and Jiefang Daily, tells the story of a late-stage cancer patient who helps a young lung cancer patient regain the courage to live - through acting.
