At just 29, Shen Lan-ting received a devastating diagnosis: advanced colorectal cancer, with only three months to live. Instead of succumbing to despair, she embraced a radically positive mindset. “No matter how little time I have left, I will greet each day with joy and gratitude,” she said.

Three months later, her inoperable 10-centimeter tumor had shrunk to 2 centimeters. Fifteen years later, she lives a vibrant, healthy life—the cancer is gone.
