South China Morning Post:
A tear-jerking dark comedy loosely based on the real-life stories of leukaemia patients walking on the wrong side of the law to access life-saving generic Indian drugs has become an instant hit.

Dying to Survive – dubbed as the Chinese version of the Dallas Buyers Club – instantly soared to number one at the Chinese box office last week.

Variety:

Chinese comedy drama, “Dying to Survive” opened with a massive $151 million to be the second largest film across the world this weekend. Its cumulative score by Sunday stands fractionally short of $200 million.

Based on real events, about a cancer survivor who took it on himself to import cheap drugs from India, the film is an unlikely winner in terms of subject matter. The film, directed by first time feature maker Wen Muye, changes the lead role to a non-patient, creating parallels with “Dallas Buyers Club.”
