Features: This book employs questionnaires and interviews, using rich first-hand data to describe and analyze the living, working, psychological, and social relationship conditions and experiences of hepatitis B patients and carriers. It proposes that human understanding and interpretation of diseases are not only physiological and medical but also social and cultural. Therefore, people's experiences with diseases are also physical, social, cultural, and psychological. For patients, medical treatment is not enough; social care is equally important. They not only need material support but also spiritual support. Only when the body, mind, and society are in harmony can humans achieve the best state of existence.
