Abstract: In 2018, the movie Dying to Survive, adapted from real-life events, was released. Focusing on the two core elements of "medicine" and "disease", the film achieved great success both in box office and word-of-mouth. This paper aims to deeply analyze the unique charm of Dying to Survive from the perspective of disease narrative strategy. By carefully interpreting the plot and visual presentation in the film, this paper will explore the subtlety of the film's narrative strategy, and further reveal the strategies and techniques of disease narrative in modern realistic-themed movies, providing useful references and inspirations for the research of disease narrative.
