內容簡介

★A love that crossed cultures and even the boundaries between life and death; a couple who faced cancer hand in hand and chased their dreams with unwavering courage!

Jiyu is the pen name of Shou-Fang Hu-Moore. During graduate studies at the University of Alberta her life took a dramatic turn owing to a leukemia diagnosis. Upon hearing the news, the young man with whom she had only recently entered into a serious relationship and who would soon be attending medical school, immediately proposed to her. Thus started their lifelong journey together dealing with this terminal disease, while continuing their studies and careers. Despite the many physical and mental hardships they faced, he persevered and eventually became a medical doctor, while she unleashed her potential with his constant encouragement and lived her life to the fullest, establishing multiple career paths in interior design, architecture, writing, translation and Mandarin Chinese education.

This book is her memoir recounting her ordeals of undergoing cancer treatments, especially a bone marrow transplant, with many immediate and long-term side effects that continue to impact her health and quality of life to this day. At the same time, the book is also a testament to their love and grit living in the shadow of death. After going through trials and tribulations for nearly half a century, she now realized that death has been the driving force behind her to survive and make something of herself. It is truly an ironic twist of life!

Author Introduction
Jiyu
Jiyu is the pen name of Shou-Fang Hu-Moore. She came to Canada from Taiwan in 1976 to study in the University of Alberta's graduate program of comparative literature, however in less than a year, her life took a dramatic turn when she received a leukemia diagnosis. Living in the face of death, she nevertheless decided to take on new educational goals and complete them in the time her doctors said she had left. She also married the man she would lean on for the rest of her life despite a two-year life expectancy—experimental bone marrow transplantation granted her another forty plus years of a full and rewarding life. In spite of all the physical hardship and mental anguish brought on by her illness, she lived her life to the fullest, and with the encouragement of her life partner and guardian angel she unleashed her untapped potential, establishing multiple career paths in interior design, architecture, writing, translation and Mandarin Chinese education.
