SYNOPSIS

A symbolic study of the harrowing feeling that death is approaching. In ancient Chinese philosophy, “negative” means back to the sun, and “positive”, face to the sun. To some extent, in today's medicine, the meanings of the two words have been reversed. “Positive” often denotes the presence of an illness. So when people read this word in a diagnosis, they don’t feel they are facing the sun.
