When Christmas Eve comes, you may enjoy a candlelight dinner with your loved ones, or share your time with your family. Everyone is happy for this precious moment of Christmas. But there are cancer patients, who have to leave their family and country to for advanced treatment. There are also some people of professional ethics and service spirit, who also leave their family to sing and dance for those overseas patients.

　　At 18: 30, Dec. 24, 2012, on 9th floor of Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou, the meeting room was filled with warmth and happiness. Balloons and ribbons were everywhere when neon lights on mini-Christmas tree were shining colorfully. The happy and blessing songs made the room like Christmas. The patients and families from Vietnam, Indonesia, the Philippines and other countries gathered in this party. Among them, some patients were in wheelchair, some had just finished their treatment and were suffering from hair-falling and were weak, but they still enjoyed this festival happily and positively.

　　The party started from a hot music Gangnam Style. The beautiful nurses passionately danced the horse trot on stage, which warmed up the atmosphere of party. Some patients jointed the dance when nurses invited them enthusiastically.

　　Patients, family members and medical people together danced and sang in the party. The most fantastic show was given by an 18-year-old Indonesian teenager, Lin Wenbing. He sang a song and played the guitar himself. He had to take amputation after he was diagnosed osteosarcoma. Though he sat in wheelchair, he did not present any depravation or dejection. Warm smiles can always be seen on his face because of his optimistic nature. He did not blame this on fate but faced the life positively and bravely fight with disease. He said he wanted to pass on his courage and optimism to every patient and the people who are in pain and trouble.
