About this program
Ten books for understanding life
Co-produced by Pfizer China and Vistopia, this special season approaches the body, illness, medicine, and death through ten acclaimed works of popular science. More than thirty contributors from Pfizer China connect the books with current research and the history of drugs, vaccines, and genetics.
The course explains why we become ill, how immunity works, why epidemics return, what cancer and depression mean for patients and families, and how medicine might help us face the end of life. These books offer more than medical knowledge: they invite us to reconsider how we see the world and ourselves.
Four themes
Why life is both fragile and resilient
What modern epidemics reveal
How humanity resists disease
How to say goodbye at medicine’s limits
The season contains ten main episodes and occasional extras. Audio is in Chinese.
