王局拍案｜揭秘中共特供医疗20221117

Summary

The video discusses China's healthcare system for government officials, which is extremely privileged compared to care available to average citizens. It traces the system's origins to the Communist revolutionaries in Yan'an, who set up special medical facilities for cadres even as most people had no access to healthcare. After taking power, the Communist Party expanded this exclusive, hierarchical system lavishly. Top leaders enjoy personalized care and lengthy lifespans - the goal is now 150 years. Lower-level officials also get far better treatment than ordinary people, for whom minor illnesses can lead to poverty. This inequality sparked public outrage in 2006 when data emerged showing 8.5 million civil servants used 80% of China's health spending while covering only 20% of the population. The system warps officials' mindsets, making them indifferent to the people. During the COVID outbreak in Wuhan, one official refused hospitalization unless given a private room, despite extreme shortages. The system's flaws mean top leaders' health still suffers from power struggles, as with Zhou Enlai dying early from treatable cancer because Mao delayed approving surgery. Though scientific advances may now help officials reach age 150, the people funding this exclusive healthcare cannot afford basic treatment. After 60+ years of perfecting privilege, the system serves the rulers rather than the ruled.

Outlines

00:00

Introduction to Chinese Healthcare System for Officials

The paragraph introduces a WeChat advertisement from the 301 Hospital promoting its healthcare system for government officials, which integrates Chinese and Western medicine. It claims this system can prolong leaders' lifespan to 150 years old. The ad was controversial as many civilians struggle to access healthcare while officials receive privileged treatment.

05:04

History and Development of Special Healthcare System

The paragraph provides background on the special healthcare system for officials, which began in the Yan'an era and expanded after the Communists took power. It focuses on the extremely privileged medical treatment Mao Zedong and his wife Jiang Qing received from their personal doctor Li Zhisui, as described in his banned memoir.

10:07

Severe Inequality in Healthcare System

The paragraph highlights statistics shared by a Ministry of Health official in 2006, showing extreme inequality in healthcare spending. 80% of the over 5% of GDP spending on healthcare went to the 8.5 million party cadres, while the vast majority of peasants had to fully pay out-of-pocket.

15:08

Extravagance and Waste in Cadre Healthcare

The paragraph gives examples of extravagance in cadre healthcare facilities. It also analyzes unfair competition between hospitals to attract officials. There is strong criticism over officials enjoying luxury treatment while average citizens struggle to access basic care.

20:10

Cultivated Sense of Privilege and Tragedy

The paragraph argues that the privileged system cultivates indifference among officials to ordinary people's suffering. An example is given of an official demanding special treatment even at the height of the Wuhan outbreak. While this system prolongs lifespan for officials, some like Zhou Enlai have also become victims under it.

25:12

Efforts to Further Extend Lifespan

The paragraph notes current efforts to use scientific methods to extend party leaders' lifespan to 150 years old. However, it also reflects on how despite these efforts, officials' health still depends on political power struggles in the system.

Highlights

The healthcare system for cadres in China is privileged and unequal compared to ordinary citizens.

Chinese leaders have much longer average lifespans than Western leaders due to the exclusive healthcare system.

The healthcare system for cadres started in the Yan'an era and became more developed after the CCP took power.

Cadres have access to the best medical resources, specialists, and facilities while many ordinary citizens cannot afford healthcare.

In 2006, 80% of China's healthcare spending went to the 8.5 million party cadres, but only 20% covered the general population.

High-level cadres have exclusive access to organic food, purified air, and customized health plans to prolong their lives.

Mao Zedong and other top leaders had private doctors and nurses catering to their every health need despite unhealthy lifestyles.

The exclusive healthcare system allows cadres to live much longer than average, but some like Zhou Enlai became victims of power struggles.

After economic reforms, the healthcare gap between cadres and ordinary citizens has shrunk but inequality still exists.

Even during the Wuhan outbreak, some officials demanded special treatment and refused to be treated like ordinary patients.

The 301 Hospital has a "Chief Health Project 981" aimed at helping Chinese leaders live to 150 years old.

Many ordinary Chinese cannot get basic medical care yet the state spends vast amounts prolonging officials' lives.

Revelations about the privileged healthcare system for cadres often cause public outrage in China.

Chinese healthcare has improved overall but the system still massively favors a small elite over the general population.

Some officials develop an engrained sense of entitlement from the hierarchical privilege soak of the healthcare system.

Transcripts

(Since the People’s Republic of China was established)

(the healthcare system for cadres has been remarkably developed through 60+ years of practice and exploration)

(Prevention, treatment, rehabilitation...)

What you are watching right now, is an advertisement on WeChat

posted by 301 Hospital (the People's Liberation Army General Hospital) on Sept 15, 2019

This ad mainly presents the healthcare system for government officials at the 301 Hospital

According to this ad, the average lifespan of Chinese national leaders is 88

far exceeds the average lifespan of Western leaders

Why is it so long?

It is because China has the best healthcare system for cadres in the world

which integrates Chinese and Western medicine

At the end of the ad

it says the goal is to prolong the lifespan of national leaders to 150 years old

(This system has been tested through practice and it is very effective...)

The release of this ad ignited the public's rage

Think about it, many civilians don't have the means for healthcare

Some can't receive treatment even when lying in front of the gate of the hospital

Others have to leave the hospital

because they can't pay for the costs

When these people saw this ad, what would they think?

Civilians have to face the burden of healthcare

On the contrary, the special medical needs of the national leaders

are extravagantly maintained by resources from all over the nation

Therefore, the ad was taken down

Although it was taken down, it was all factual

For instance, it is true that the national leaders of China

have longer life expectancy than Western leaders

During the 20th National Congress a few days ago

Song Ping was on the presidium

He's 105 now, and he can still participate in the convention

without help from a stretcher

I think Song might break the longevity record among the Chinese national leaders

Currently, this record belongs to Lei Jieqiong, who passed away at 106

Lyu Zhengcao is behind her, at 105

There are a bunch beyond 100

Such as Deng Liqun at 100, Li Rui at 101, Zhang Zhen at 101, and so on

In real life, it's pretty rare to see someone over 100 years old, right?

But it's so common for these national leaders to stay alive after 90

Deng Xiaoping passed away at 93, Zhu De at 91, so as Li Peng

Unless there are other preexisting health conditions, 90 is easy for them

Look at Jiang Zemin, also over 90, and he's possibly going to hit 100

Why can they live for so long, much longer than us civilians on average?

One of the reasons is what they eat

We talked about their exclusive food supply system in our previous episode

We civilians eat toxic Chinese chives contaminated by pesticides and chemical fertilizer

They eat organic food from the exclusive supply system

so they don’t have to deal with foodborne diseases much

Also, the exclusive system is not limited to food

For example, the air in Zhongnanhai

I initially said there’s no way to exclusively supply air

someone then told me, “Wang Sir, you are wrong”

“The air in Zhongnanhai is exclusively supplied. There’s an entire air purifier system”

“which controls the temperature, humidity, and oxygen content”

“Zhongnanhai is a totally different world from the one we live in as ordinary citizens”

Besides, they have their exclusive healthcare system

This system utilizes massive resources in society to fulfill the needs of the small group of officials

Under the best medical services, of course they can “long live”

This exclusive healthcare system was established in the Yan ’an era

Just like the food supply system

Xiao Jun (a famous left-wing author) wrote a book called “The Yan’an Journal” after he arrived in Yan’an

In this book, he mentioned that he saw Mao’s wife

was heading to the cadres sanatorium on a horse

He was quite salty, thinking why there is only a cadres sanatorium, but no author sanatorium?

I say Xiao Jun was crazy

He was just an author, how dare he demand the same as cadres

especially high-end cadres like Mao?

Of course, he was punished afterward

Later, the Communists succeeded and entered Beijing

The exclusive system became more outrageous

We know that Mao moved into Zhongnanhai after conquering Beijing

Then he was provided with a private doctor, called Li Zhisui

Li’s ancestor served as a doctor for the imperial family

Li went abroad to study Western medicine and earned an MD

The Ministry of Health was looking for someone like him when he returned to China in 1949

so they chose him, and he served Mao for all those years

from when Mao entered Zhongnanhai, until Mao’s death

He was the person closest to Mao

He knew everything about Mao’s health condition and treatment

When Mao was having health issues, other specialists needed to consult with him to decide on the treatment plans

After Mao passed away, Li Zhisui went to the United States and wrote a famous book

called “The Private Life of Chairman Mao: The Memoirs of Mao’s Personal Physician”

I mentioned this book before, it is at the top of the banned books list in China

Why? Because it touches two forbidden grounds

One, it heavily demonstrated Mao’s chaotic private life

Picking up girls every day and not restraining his carnal desire

The book also mentioned that he actually did not only pick up young girls

but also wives of other cadres

It would be a huge mess if civilians know about these

The “glorious” image of Mao would be demolished

Two, the details about Mao’s lifestyle describe in the book

such as dietary and medical-related details

do not fit his glorious image either

Mao lived for 83 years

which is not super long among the Communists leaders

of his generation

Zhu De passed away at 91, and Zhou Enlai at 78, a bit younger than him

However, Mao’s lifestyle was extremely unhealthy

Firstly, his dietary pattern

We all know that he loves braised pork belly and other similar dishes

He was essentially a peasant when it comes to dietary habits

He couldn’t get used to the French cuisine that chefs cooked for him

He only loved hot pepper dishes and pork belly

which are not very beneficial to one’s health

But no one dares to say anything

He ate whatever he wanted to eat

Plus, his hygiene was terrible

He never brushed his teeth, nor took a shower

because he didn’t brush his teeth, he had gingivitis

Then, Li Zhisui invited a dentist to take a look at it

The inside of his mouth turned green

There was purulence around some of his teeth

Finally, the dentist took out the bad teeth, and the white blood cell count returned to normal

Mao usually resisted seeing doctors and physical exams

but he still lived for 83 years

that’s quite amazing, to be honest

You can’t compare his lifespan with people nowadays

you should compare with the lifespan of ancient emperors

Obviously, his is a little shorter than the Qianlong emperor’s (87)

but longer than most emperors in Chinese history

and that was achieved while having such an indulgent lifestyle

Be aware that the average lifespan of Chinese during that era was only around 50 to 60 years

That shows you the exclusive healthcare system provided to him

was absolutely paramount at the time

It didn't only cover him, but also his wife

Both Mao and Jiang Qing suffered from constipation

Mao relied on his bodyguards to give him enemas

Jiang had a specialized nurse

who would “dig it out” for her every time she goes to the restroom

This role is very very difficult

Jiang often threw tantrums at her, drum her out, and sometimes even organized denunciation rallies on her

When Jiang went to sleep, the nurse had to give her massages

If Jiang woke up during the night, the nurse had to continue the massage

All the exclusive services she received

is beyond imagination in other nations

even if you are the president

it was only for the Chinese emperor in ancient time

However, the public didn’t know about these

After Jiang Qing was taken down

her secretary wrote a book on her extravagant life

Li Zhisui, on the other hand, immigrated to the US after Mao’s death

Li is on Mao’s side before Mao passed away

Mao was holding Li’s hand, and asked “Dr. Li, can I live any longer?”

Then he died

After Mao’s death, Li served as the director of a hospital in Beijing

then immigrated to the US with his wife, wrote the memoir

and soon passed away

Since the Chinese economic reform, the exclusive food and medical services for cadres

had further improved compared to Mao’s era

Although there was a strict hierarchy during Mao’s era

the overall level of supplies was too low

After the economic reform, healthcare in China has been constantly improving

so the healthcare services for cadres are drastically improved as well

Besides, the cadres start to pay more attention to science

so they are able to prolong their lifespan

There are so many flaws in this exclusive healthcare system

the biggest being inequality

In 2006, Yin Dakui, a deputy minister of The Ministry of Health

attended a health forum

and gave a speech

He said that the inequality in the Chinese healthcare system was extremely severe

5.6% of the GDP went into the healthcare system

Frankly, this percentage is not low

Taiwan is at around 6%

However, this investment only covered 20% of the population

so 80% were not covered at all

(healthcare coverage by the government)

Most of these people were peasants

plus some urban residents who were not covered by health insurance

There were also enterprises, particularly some civilian-run enterprises

didn’t pay health insurance for their employees

He said in 2006

87.4% of Chinese peasants had to pay out of pocket entirely for medical expenses

30% of them who needed to seek medical advice didn’t seek medical advice

60% of them who needed to be hospitalized weren’t hospitalized

What were the consequences?

Minor diseases developed into major diseases, then became terminal diseases

Therefore, peasants in China

and civilians in cities who were not covered by health insurance

their quality of life was extremely low

That’s why we say “poverty caused by illness”

Their life quality might be okay normally

but they would lose all savings after being ill, and no guarantee of survival even after spending so much

Meanwhile, these high-end cadres of CCP

receive the best healthcare services in the world

I say “in the world,” and it’s not an exaggeration

In a democratic nation

even if leaders have privileges

it would be limited to very few people

for example, the president and vice president of the US might have privileges

but others in the White House probably do not have any privileges

just like civilians

But in China, the group of people that has this privilege is massive

it’s based on the administrative level

Once you reach a certain level, you start to receive the equivalent services

Like national level, sub-national level, and national leaders

they all have healthcare consulting groups

There is a Healthcare Bureau under the State Council

It is the same agency as the one under the National Health Commission, but has two different names

and its duty is to provide healthcare services to national leaders

Each leader who is sub-national level and above has their own healthcare consulting group

These specialists are so anxious to do physical exams, ideally every day

and design healthy recipes for the leaders

Someone was interviewed a while ago

and said the reason for the longevity of the cadres

is that their diet has been taken care of

They need to eat 25 different ingredients every day

all of them must be small in amount, but well-designed, and must include all wheat options

along with tomato, carrots, and other healthy ingredients

This guarantees a healthy diet for the cadres

There was a trending doctor a few years ago called Hong Zhaoguang

He wrote a book titled "On Board! The Healthy Express”

The reason he was trending is that he had an important title

“the healthcare physician of national leaders”

Indeed, he was invited as a specialist at the Healthcare Bureau, in the field of cardiovascular diseases

He gave lectures to the cadres in Zhongnanhai

and the core content was “human beings should live until 150”

“at least until 120.” “Why can’t you live for that long?”

“It’s because your lifestyle is not healthy”

Then he talks about how to live in a healthier fashion

and that’s why he was so popular later

So you see, civilians don’t have the fortune to go to the hospital

but the cadres are throwing money around

wasting so many medical resources on themselves

If civilians need an organ transplant, there might not be one, but the cadres can probably request one anytime

There were a lot of rumors about “certain leaders having multiple transplants”

I’m not really going to expand on that

For others, they request the best surgeons to perform surgeries for them

For instance, Li Peng did his heart bypass at Fuwai Hospital

he requested the best surgeon at Fuwai

Jiang Zemin once had a piece of fishbone stuck in his throat

Chinese loves eating river fishes, which sometimes has a lot of small fishbones

I have gotten stuck too, very difficult to take them out

I went to the hospital that time, but they couldn’t take it out after trying for so long

and then the bone went down on its own after a few days

Jiang Zemin was also stuck with a fishbone that time

First, he asked the director of the ENT department of 301 Hospital to come and help him take it out

The chief doctor of the ENT department was a little nervous and trembling when he saw Jiang Zemin

Couldn't take it out after trying for a long time

Finally, the director of the ENT department of Beijing Hospital took it out for him

As a result, it is said that the director of the ENT department of 301 Hospital was demoted

Then the head of the ENT department at Beijing Hospital was promoted

Very unfair, that's the first point

Extravagance is the second point

At that time, Yin Dakui also mentioned a figure in the middle of his speech

He said that of the 5.6% of our healthcare investment

The 8.5 million party cadres (a.k.a. civil servants) account for 80 percent of them

That means the other 20% covers the general population

Because the financial input at that time was limited to civil servants and institutions

Because this part of the business has a different system

Basically, it was shared by companies and individuals

But the state input is basically mainly for civil servants and institutions

The institutions unit has 40 million people

40 million people

Their percentage of medical resources owned was only 20%

However, 8.5 million civil servants account for 80% of the total

Once this number came out, everyone could not hold it, and many people went to interview Yin Dakui

Yin Dakui was also afraid, so he said, "I did not say so."

"Before this presentation of mine, there was this quote on the PPT, which was collected for me by my assistant"

"At the time, I didn't think the number was very reliable, so I didn't talk about it."

"But some media obtained this PPT before the presentation."

"So it was quoted out."

He said the data was obtained by journalists searching the Internet

Some say it comes from a survey report conducted by the Chinese Academy of Sciences

Later, after the rumor came out, the Chinese Academy of Sciences was also scared

Quickly come out to dispel the rumor that they did not conduct this survey

How dare they investigate how much money the party and state leaders spend on medical care

Even if they know they do not dare to say, so the Chinese Academy of Sciences on the disinformation

Later they said the data was from the Internet, and the Internet is actually not reliable

We searched for relevant content in order to do this video

and the earliest data was not available before this presentation by Yin Dakui

This so-called disinformation is also particularly interesting

There are many people in the China who disprove the rumor that "this data is false and impossible"

But just don't tell you what the real numbers are

For example, 5.6% of the government's GDP is invested in healthcare

Just how much money is spent in the civil service? You don't know.

How much does the institutions unit cost? You don't know.

So I think this data is basically correct

Of course, this is the data of 2006

Let's be objective, from 2006 to now 16 years have passed

There has been a big change

For example, now farmers also have new specialized farmers' cooperatives

Urban residents also have urban residents' pension and medical insurance

So the fairness in the middle of the whole health care system has changed compared to back then

But in 2006, this data should be said not too exaggerated

That is to say, it is extremely unfair

At the time of the national "two sessions" in 2002

There was a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference

in Hubei Province then said a set of data

Because the "two sessions" were still relatively open at that time

Many delegates of the "two sessions" actually raised objections directly during the meeting

He talked about how much money civil servants in Hubei province spend on medical care in a year

It was 600RMB in 2002

How much does a Bureau-Director level person put in? 8000RMB

In other words, the medical input of a Bureau-Director level person

More than ten times that of an average civil servant

How many times more than a peasant is that? Infinitely, because the peasants have nothing

The government does not invest a single penny

So you need to know that under the different levels of power within the system

That medical care they enjoy is really extravagant

There was also a particularly interesting news in 2006

The First Hospital of Jilin University in Jilin Province

It has redecorated this cadre ward by itself

Then it published an article of its own

It says the cadre building is built and can provide 247 hospital beds

Greatly improved the medical environment for the cadres

The picture posted in the article is really opulent

The lobby looks just like a five-star hotel

The people feel very unfair when they look at it

Why do we have to get up early and stay up late to get a number when we go to the doctor?

You still have to buy the number from the scalpers, and you can't get an appointment with a specialist

But you live in that five-star general cadre building for medical treatment

Why?

Don't you always say you are a servant of the people and serve the people?

Why do you enjoy much better health care conditions than we do?

Later the First Hospital of Jilin University also came out to explain

Say that the photo shooting angle is a problem, the real situation is not so exaggerated

Afterwards that reporter went to investigate and found that the background is a bit complicated, why?

The original cadre health hospital in Jilin Province was the First Hospital of Jilin University

Later Jilin Provincial People's Hospital felt that there was a great profit

A cadre ward was also set up

Since it was built later, it has better hardware conditions

So many senior cadres in Jilin Province

They all like to go to the cadre ward of the provincial people's hospital for medical treatment

The First Hospital of Jilin University then feel the pressure, why?

Because there are many benefits for leading cadres to see a doctor there

One benefit is that they are fully reimbursed for all medical expenses, with no limits

A normal chronic illness can cost an average of 1,000RMB a day for a ten-day stay here

If it is a serious disease then the cost is very arbitrary

the cadres to see more hospital revenue is more

This is the first point

The second point is that these senior leadership cadres go to their place for medical treatment

Relationships can get along just fine

For example, the governor, the secretary of the provincial party committee to see a doctor there

you make a good relationship after

Usually when the hospital wants to do something, it's easier to get approval

So, the First Hospital of Jilin University feel the pressure

Can't lose to Jilin Provincial People's Hospital

So they gritted their own teeth and knocked down the original cadre ward

Rebuilt a nicer building with better hardware

In this way they hope to attract those cadres to it for medical treatment

You see, there is also competition within

According to the regulations of Jilin Province at that time

Ministerial-level officials can stay in suites for medical treatment in the province

The house has an area of one or two hundred square meters

The treatment of deputy ministerial cadres is a single room

while the treatment of bureau-level cadres is a double room

Privilege is also hierarchical

The reporter at the time also interviewed a deputy ministerial cadre

He thinks nothing of it

He said: "Our usual home conditions are quite good

If you go to this place to see a doctor and stay poorly it is not good for recovery"

So he does feel that the cadre ward is necessary

So you have to understand that on the one hand

it is very difficult for ordinary people to get a bed in the hospital

On the other hand, those cadres were actually living extravagantly and extravagantly

At the same time, they not only need to see a doctor, but also need to do rehabilitation therapy

This rehab costs even more money

According to our national regulations

Officials at the full ministerial level have two retreats a year, one can be for ten days to half a month

The vice ministry is once a year, the retreat can also bring their relatives to go together

The services provided in these sanatoriums are also fully paid for by the state

Think about it, so Yin Dakui said in that report

It says, "There are 400,000 people living in cadre wards and sanatoriums nationwide.

These 400,000 people spend 50 billion RMB a year"

Think about it, in 2006 China was still very poor

These people's extravagant lives take up a lot of medical resources

The third point is the massive, cultivated sense of privilege

One level plus one level of privilege

The color of the medical book is different when you get to the certain level

In the end, it poisoned the minds of these cadres

As we all know, there was a news when the Wuhan epidemic first came up in 2020

When the epidemic first broke out in Wuhan, everyone flocked to the hospital and beds were hard to come by

As a result, the family of Mr Chen, deputy director of the Hubei Provincial Department of Justice, was also infected

He and his wife and his son

After the infection, given that he is a deputy cadre

Still, he was given a bed to go to the hospital for treatment

Think about it, at that time, the ordinary people do not have this option

Knock the gong on the balcony to call for help are not necessarily managed

In the case of someone d* at home, even in the hospital emergency room floor are not saved

Still, a hospital bed was arranged for this Chen

As a result, Chen did not want to go, why

Because he felt that he could go to the hospital, he had to go to the cadre ward

According to him, he is a deputy cadre, he has to stay in a double room

But at that time it was very difficult to find a double room in Wuhan

Others have no place to live in the hospital corridor

He insisted that he had to stay in the cadre ward or he would not go

So they went home

Not only did he go home, he also came from their home in Zhangjiawan  

Moved to the dormitory building of the provincial office

And then also walk around every day

The other people in the neighborhood was scared, and finally someone reported him

Reported all the way to the provincial party secretary of Hubei Province

Hubei Province in the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee meeting

on the name of the district secretary of Wuchang District to supervise the matter

Later, on February 12, cadres from the Provincial Department of Justice and community staffs

came to his home at the same time

They did not expect that Mr.Chen would not listen to them at all

After 5 and a half hours of dilly-dallying, he just wouldn't go to the hospital

He just insisted that he had to go to the cadre ward

Later, the community staff had no choice

Say that if you don't go, you should stay at home in isolation

Just put a seal on their house

As a result, the next day they tore off the seal

So this news broke out at the time and caused a national outrage

Later in the afternoon of February 13, the same staff went to their home to persuade

Finally he agreed to go to the hospital

But still made a condition, said first not to take the ambulance, to take the government car to

Second, his son had to be placed in the same hospital as him

Later on, this Mr.Chen was riding in the government car

Admitted him to the hospital.

Think about this privilege, when the whole country knew

How can he make the people feel that the government is serving the people

Really not

This government, and service to the people have nothing to do with

They are some of the monsters nourished by the power soaked in privilege

Perhaps before entering the system

He may be an ordinary person

But after such a privilege, the hierarchical privilege is constantly soaked

To be honest, in his consciousness

So that he will be indifferent to ordinary people

He will only care about the privilege he enjoys

This is the third point

Fourth, I would say that

although the privilege system allows these people to live long enough

Now although the 301 Hospital is debunking the rumors, but then someone also checked

The one they're conducting is called "Chief Health Project 981."

The goal is for our Chinese leaders to live to be 150 years old

You can search online now and there is still relevant content

And there's also a 981 technology company

This 981 technology company, and the Academy of Military Medical Sciences

Working with 301 Hospital, there is a demonstration site in Beidaihe

You can look it up on the Internet, the chairman is Zhao Wei

The goal of this is to make the party and state leaders to live longer

Then the methods used are prevention, health care, treatment and cancer prevention

And organ regeneration and other aspects of these

It is more scientific compared to Mao's time

For example, in terms of eating, we should pay attention to eating nuts, not too much every day

For example, Chen Yun, only eat 13 peanuts a day, no more than that

Insist on playing tennis, the body is better, and had longer lifespan

It is true that in this way these people can live longer

But in such a privileged system in fact many people are just tools

It is also the product of a tragedy under the system

For example, Zhou Enlai, who had CUB during the Cultural Revolution at the time

As we all know, CUB is one of the more treatable types of cancer

CUB is also one of the cancers with the highest survival rate as of today

But after the diagnosis is confirmed, the doctor actually has no right to operate on him

The doctor needed Mao's approval, Mao just wouldn't approve his surgery

So the doctors in the medical team at the time did not understand

The doctor said it needs to be done quickly, but as a result, Mao Zedong just did not approve

In the end, the surgery was actually delayed until after the cancer had spread.

You should read the book "Zhou Enlai's Later Years" which has a detailed account

Mao Zedong's mind is just very clear

Just can't let Zhou Enlai live past himself

He wanted Zhou Enlai to die before he did.

It is clear that such a privileged system does not actually

end up with particularly good health care for certain people

Instead, they have become the victims of power struggle
