Flower Whisper

A sunbeam slants through the window into the ward, and shines the flowers on the side table. A pale and wasted girl,staring at the vibrant dewy flowers, reflects woefully: Flowers in the vase wither soon after bloom. Diagnosed with malignant tumor, florescence of my life passes in advance. Can I feel the happiness of being loved? In the campus of Fudan University, wandering under the gentle touch of Spring sunlight,people with their sweet smiles and curious eyes are attracted by the tender red roses swaying in the breeze. “Flower Whisper” it says, “Select a postcard, write down your concern for tumor patient sand let them be loved.” The date is ‘May 20th’, homophonic to ‘I Love You’ in Chinese.

Students and visitors, the elders and the young, alone or in couple…
Varying fonts, colorful drawing, kind encouragements, sincere wishes… hundreds of postcards,full of kindness and love.

“Thanks for your kindness! This rose is for you.” To deliver the fragrance of roses, to spread love in such a lovely day. We are iGEMers from Fudan University. These are postcards written by this gentle world of love. We hope the gift can give you strength and comforts.

2017 iGEMFudan built a bridge between patients and the public. We collected 218 postcards and gave out 215 flowers. The postcards were arranged and handed to the patients in Shanghai Tumor hospital.

As is reported, mental statushas tremendous effects on the quality of life of patients, which may affect the outcome ofmedical treatment.While we designed a platform for oncotherapy trying to cure patients physiologically, their psychological health is also what we pursuit. The warm encouragements from strangers, the love of society can lift the spirits of patients.

In Chinese current social public opinions, tumor immunotherapy has been controversialsincean accidentcaused by outdated ineffective treatment provided by unqualified hospital. We explained our project and the concept of immunotherapy to whoeverwrote on the postcards.We are so proud to see the hope raising in their eyes after listening tothe successful treatment and inspiring progresses in immunotherapy. Someeven wrote down the immunotherapy treatment as an example to cheer up the patients.

Flowers in the vase wither soon after bloom. The postcards convey the same concern and love as flowers but they never wither. It whispersourlove and kindness in your ears: No matter the ending is perfect or not, you will never disappear from my world.
