Zhang Yu has publicly reported Lu Wei, a professor at a well-known tertiary care hospital in Shanghai, online several times since last year. However, after the incident attracted attention, Zhang Yu deleted the posts under unknown pressure. The small picture shows Lu Wei, one of the parties reported by Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu, an oncologist at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Peking University, wrote an article on a social media platform criticizing the system for corruption and profit-making by doctors, which led to a large number of patients being ripped off and ultimately left with no money. The situation has led to the loss of millions of patients each year. The article was quickly deleted the following day and Zhang Yu was under pressure. The article was quickly censored the next day and Zhang Yu Zheng was put under pressure. Insiders say that the real medical shady business is alarming, but the information is a state secret, and officials are even suspected of falsifying data to the United Nations.

After Zhang Yu publicly revealed the chaos of the tumor treatment system in Zhihu on Sunday (18), the article was deleted on Monday (19), and sources from the medical sector said Zhang Yu was under tremendous pressure. The National Health Commission said it would thoroughly investigate Zhang Yu’s complaint.
A senior doctor in Hubei province, who asked to remain anonymous, praised Zhang Yu for her courage in exposing the industry’s scars and touching on the intertwined web of interests between medical institutions and the medical management system.
She said: “It’s definitely true, and he will definitely be ostracized in the industry like me, because there are many people with vested interests in the industry, and a thorough investigation will affect the vested interests of many people. This is the problem of the system, there is no way. In fact, this is a reflection of his regulatory inaction, by definition, the Health and Welfare Commission’s medical administration is the department in charge of this, the results of the competent departments, they are long-term collusion, he wants you to how it is, it has reached this point.
The doctor also stressed that the incidence of cancer in China has risen sharply in recent years, but it is not clear whether this information is being released to the public truthfully.
She said: one of my own college dormitory classmates is a doctor in oncology, all have got tumors. She said that when she first started working, the “patients” were all older, but now there are many younger people. She herself had cancer, so she was quite stimulated. All cancer patients who die are reported on a cancer patient card, which is submitted to the national authorities, and I believe there is information to be reported.
In the article, Zhang Yu cites WHO information that 4.57 million new cancers and 3 million deaths will occur in China in 2020, but sources in the industry say that this information may be an artificially processed version of official information, and that the real situation is not known to the outside world.
Ren Ruihong, a former executive of the Chinese Red Cross Major Illness Relief Project, also said that the information provided by the Chinese Communist Party to the WHO should also be false. Ren Ruihong testified that when he was working on a cancer research project, he was denied permission to request information from the Ministry of Health because the information was considered a state secret.
Ren Ruihong said: In fact, the cancer crisis information is still higher than this, because when we did this work in the past, we had some figures about the geographical distribution, and the volunteers who are still there gave feedback that there are more and more cancer patients, especially lung cancer and breast cancer, and the incidence is getting higher and higher. But in China, this is a state secret, it will not tell you the incidence rate. At that time, when we asked the Ministry of Health for these information in order to do these projects, the Ministry of Health did not reply to us. Later, the Peking Union Medical College Hospital, they have a sentinel test, did a simple data evaluation, they also dare not give you certainty.
Ren Ruihong also pointed out that in fact, a large number of rural cancer patients are not treated in hospitals from the time they fall ill to the time they die, which has led to a serious underestimation of the actual incidence of cancer in China. However, officials are worried that the real information will trigger public discontent, so they have been tightly blocking the relevant information.
Beihang Hospital refused our reporter’s request to interview Zhang Yu, while saying that they would only inform new developments in the incident if their superiors replied.
The first thing you need to do is leave your contact information, and I’ll notify you if I get a reply. The actual fact is that you’ll be able to find out more about the actual situation. I can’t reply to you now, I’ll hang up, sorry.
The National Health Commission also did not respond to our request for an interview.
The article published by Zhang Yu has attracted widespread attention and resonance. He pointed out that there are a lot of unscrupulous medical practices and some unscrupulous doctors in tumor treatment. Please think about how many patients are often worried about their money after suffering from tumors, and they are afraid of talking about hospitals and even refuse to go to regular hospitals for treatment. Tumor treatment is not only expensive and ineffective, but the hospital doctors are there to make money.
Zhang Yu said that this is not entirely a figment of the imagination, but that such real-life cases are happening all the time, and that each one of them may mean a broken family or even a return to poverty. Zhang Yu admitted that many of the incidents were caused by the doctors in charge of treating the tumors. He also criticized Lu Wei, a professor at a well-known tertiary hospital in Shanghai, for exploiting the ignorance of patients and their desire to live to make a black income. According to Zhang Yu, the biggest problem of medical treatment is not the use of drugs to support doctors, but the lack of supervision, which leads to the recklessness of certain doctors. He cannot accept that innocent patients have increased mortality rates or even direct death because of doctors’ poor medical practices.
