“Dying to Survive” is a 2018 Chinese comedy-drama film based on a real-life story of Yong Lu, a Leukemia patient who imported generic cancer drugs from India to China to supply fellow patients suffering from Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) who could not afford the cost of the domestically available medication. When Yong was arrested in 2013, the charge against Yong was eventually dropped following a public outcry by over 1,000 patients whose lives had been extended by his efforts.
