“…In China, oncology physicians tend to withhold information about diagnosis and prognosis from patients and let the family handle decision making because of the fear that the patients might not cope with bad news or conflict between respecting the patient’s right to know and respecting the family’s wish for protecting the patient (Hahne et al., 2020).

“…Denne oppfatningen kommer også til syne i studentenes bruk av metaforer: «Døden er et komma, ikke et punktum. Livet er en pause på hele reisen, og jeg tror at livet og døden er tett forbundet med hverandre.» Å dø blir også sett på som å betale tilbake et lån, livet, og som en evig søvn i vakre pastellfarger (Jo & An, 2012).…”
