On November 15, “Belt and Road” Holistic Integrative Oncology Training Base (Guangdong) of China Anti-Cancer Association-St. Stamford Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou held a grand event with the theme of “Long Road of Fighting Cancer, Warm Feeling of Modern Love”. The activity was organized by nearly 10 anti-cancer star volunteers from Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Philippines, Laos and other countries who returned to the hospital to relive the road of fighting against cancer, share the journey of fighting against cancer and spread the positive energy of fighting against cancer. More than 100 anti-cancer science volunteers, medical expert groups and media reporter groups from Thailand and Laos; hospital director Wang Huaizhong, director of hospital office Yang Jinna, director of international affairs He Langbing, chief expert of the hospital Song Shijun, director of the ward Ma Xiaoying and other hospital leaders attended the event.

President’s Speech: Love without borders, medicine without borders

Wang Huaizhong, President of Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou, expressed his heartfelt happiness for the “homecoming” of the anti-cancer star volunteers, and said in his speech: Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou, established for more than ten years, has been adhering to the medical concept of “love without borders, medicine without borders”. It has admitted and treated about 50,000 patients from Southeast Asian countries and united the society and forces at home and abroad to carry out public welfare activities of cancer prevention and fight against cancer for a long time, making positive efforts for the cause of fighting against cancer and for the health of cancer patients.

The main purpose of this gracious invitation to anti-cancer star volunteers to return to the hospital for exchange and sharing is to unite all anti-cancer forces, so that cancer patients can be united, encourage each other and be optimistic in fighting cancer. Let more cancer patients establish confidence in fighting cancer, so as to achieve the goal of improving the quality of patients’ survival and prolonging the survival period. In addition, we also expressed our gratitude to the anti-cancer star volunteers for their contribution in the nearly 100 anti-cancer popularization activities held by the “base” this year, and congratulated them for being awarded as “excellent anti-cancer volunteers”. Finally, we wish every patient a strong fight against cancer and a bright future. We also hope that people from all walks of life will actively join in the public welfare activities to prevent and fight against cancer, and bring more help and support to cancer patients.

At the end of the activity, the anti-cancer star volunteers and hospital leaders cut the cake symbolizing rebirth. It is hoped that every patient can gain strength from the anti-cancer star volunteers, and like the anti-cancer stars, regain a new life and run towards a better life!

In addition, during this back-to-base activity, the anti-cancer star volunteers also had a wonderful trip to Guangzhou. They cruised the Pearl River at night to experience the prosperity of the modern city and traveled together to the Bao Mo Yuan to see the profoundness of Chinese culture. There were no traces of cancer on them at all, instead, they showed their optimistic spirit of positively treating life and encouraged other cancer patients that life can be just as wonderful even if they have cancer.

In the future, Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou will shoulder the responsibility of "Belt and Road" training base, and the responsibility of publicizing cancer prevention and anti-cancer science and education to the society and overseas countries, and spreading the new tumor technology and new concepts. The hospital will carry out more similar public welfare activities, set up more anti-cancer models and role models, help more patients to build up confidence in fighting cancer, and the hospital will, as always, provide the most cutting-edge medical technology and the best medical services to treat everyone, and continue to strive to escort the health of all cancer patients!
