"The name of our club is "Tanhuo Club", and it is a joint club led by the Tokyo College of Literature and Art with the participation of many schools. The purpose of our club is to give hospice care to some people who are about to lose their lives, and it is a public welfare organization. ”

"Why is it called that? What is the point of the Charcoal Society? ”

"Yes." The student who was interviewed nodded and said,

"We think of death as a long winter, and the process of waiting for death is even more so. So I hope to give some warmth to the dying people in the last season of their lives. That's why we formed this community. ”…… A non-profit organization composed of all students, has come into people's field of vision at this moment.

A university association called "Charcoal Society" was featured in the news programs of NHK and TTV.

The origin of this club was a student at Tokyo University of Literature and Arts, who wanted to start a student about

The "death" theme club attracted many students to join the club as soon as the leaflet for new club recruitment was issued.

The students of this book are going to die one by one, see

Words like "death" are called intracranial orgasms. However, after joining the company, he found that he had nothing to do, so he could only dress up as the god of death or the king of Yama to study and discuss the death culture and funeral rituals of various countries.

But anything, once studied, loses its mystery and appeal. Seeing that the members began to withdraw from the club one by one, the president was anxious.

At this time, I heard people around me discussing a recently aired drama: "The White Tower".

Since Tokyo University of Literature and Art has now become a fan support group of Kei Fujiwara, almost the entire university is full of Kei Fujiwara's fans.

As the most popular senior alumnus in the history of the university, Kei Fujiwara's new work is promoted by students as much as possible.

The president of the Death Research Society was originally not very interested in Kei Fujiwara, but he couldn't stand the chatter in his ears from his friends, and he couldn't help but watch a few episodes, and he was immediately attracted to the latest episode.

saw the plot of the female medical representative in the play suffering from cancer and running out of time. Because she is just an ordinary person and an incurable terminal illness, almost everyone doesn't care about her life or death, except for Shuji Satomi, another male protagonist of the TV series.

A doomed man can neither enrich the doctors' achievements, nor bring large donations and positive reputations, and staying in the hospital is just a waste of resources.

So the representative of the women's hospital was persuaded by the doctors to leave the hospital, take the bus alone, and go home to wait for death.

In the play, Shuji Satomi was also greatly touched by this incident, and began to reflect on whether the hospital could do a better job in the hospice care of patients?

The Naniwa University Medical Faculty in the TV series doesn't seem to have made any obvious changes, but instead treats Satomi Shuji

"The Kindness of a Woman" scoffed. But outside of the TV, the president of the Death Research Society, who was watching TV, was inspired.

What a terrible thing it is to be alone and die...... The president couldn't help but think in his heart. Someone once rated a person's loneliness from shallow to deep, eating alone, watching a movie alone, and celebrating a birthday alone...... Finally, a person goes to the doctor for surgery.

But none of the above seems to be comparable to a person quietly waiting for death. This level of loneliness is simply something more terrible than death.

The president couldn't help but shudder, he couldn't help but think of when he was alone in Tokyo many years ago, because he stepped on a thumbtack, he almost stayed in the hospital alone for several months, and the feeling was so unbearable that it made people want to jump off the building...... For a while, I felt heartfelt sympathy for the representative of the female hospital in the TV series who was silently waiting for death.

But after all, the representative of the female hospital is just a character made up in a TV series, but there are many such archetypal characters in reality.

In his daily discussion activities at the Death Research Society, he learned about the existence of many such people. They had no relatives, no lovers, and were lying alone in a hospital bed, gradually losing their lives...... Perhaps, it would be nice if someone could give a little bit of energy and spend the last days of their lives with them.

Even if it's just a stranger. Thinking of this, the president of the Death Research Society turned on the computer and flipped through the posts on the topic of the TV series "The White Tower", he remembered that when he was browsing the posts before, he saw that someone said that he was waiting for death alone.

After finding it, he hesitated and tapped on the keyboard. …… On the second day, he talked to the members about the new plan of his club, and the goal of the club's activities has changed, from becoming a god of death and the king of Yama, to a more meaningful work, giving hospice care to some people who have no family and friends.

The first object of their care is the woman who shared her experience on the Internet. Originally, the members of the club only regarded this as an ordinary club task, but when these people actually participated, they saw a pale girl smiling in front of them, and even died in front of their eyes soon after, the hearts of the college students were shocked.

They suddenly realized that their activity was different from before, and it was no longer a petty fight and meaningless entertainment.

As a result, some people have launched, while others have decided to give up other meaningless club activities and concentrate on participating in the hospice work of this club.

The president also officially changed the name of his club to the club

"Charcoal Society". After some more time, NHK's reporters found the head of the charcoal fire club. Their newsgathering department got the news and came to interview them.

The reason is that the first female deceased in their hospice care wrote a letter and mailed it to a magazine before she died.

In the letter, she thanked this group of college students for their companionship in the last moments of her life,

"Although this group of children deceived me...... No one is as handsome as Shuji Satomi. But I am very grateful to these little liars, who kept me from feeling that my life is so bad at the last moment of my life. Thank you very much to them. In an interview with NHK TV, the president of the Charcoal Club also clearly mentioned that the reason why he founded this club was inspired by a TV series.

…… Due to the popularity of the TV series "White Tower", many viewers have begun to be interested in various feelings in the medical field.

For example, did all the doctors who became famous have a mistress per person? Do professors, who already have fame and status, monopolize the upward path of young doctors?

Also, do people with fame, status, and wealth face very different treatment in the hospital?

Although some questions have already been answered, the audience also wants to hear real voices from the industry.

There are also some medical students and students who aspire to study medicine who also have questions in their hearts after watching this drama.

Doctors are a very respected and well-paid job, and medicine is also a very difficult profession with a low pass rate.

Those who can be admitted to first-class medical schools, almost without exception, are the top students in a hundred. Originally, I worked hard to get involved in medical school, but this TV series tells you that if you don't have a father-in-law with strong financial resources as a backer, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get ahead.

There are even medical students who ask questions directly in a lecture by a well-known medical professor - is there a clear or detailed evaluation standard for the promotion of young doctors, or do they have to do a good job of personnel relations like politicians?

If they all go into politics, who is in charge of medical research? The medical professor on the podium choked up, and didn't know how to answer for a while.
