The Human Body: Life Story 生命物语-14

And I like this 'coz everybody see that a human being can manage an illness like my illness. And everybody can see in this film there is a way to make known the best from your end of your life.

So this is the story of the human body, a tale of fantastic changes and amazing achievements written over millions of years of evolution and told afresh by each of us during our lifetime. It surely is the greatest story ever told. And every one of us has a part in it. From newborn baby upwards¹, this line follows the journey we will all make through life. Each person is one year older than the last. All of us have a place somewhere along this line, looking forward, looking back, or perhaps a bit of both. Seen like this, stripped of the trappings of wealth and status, we have one thing in common--the one place we all inhabit³, the one vehicle we all travel in, it's the human body. Seeing your body in ways you've never seen before, perhaps you'll share my sense of wonder at how it shapes us all into who we are.
