王明辰 / Wang Mingchen

王明辰 / Wang Mingchen is the Chinese assisted-death case discussed in 119.安乐死现场：正因生命如此珍贵. The episode says that in 1986, when his mother was dying painfully from late-stage liver cirrhosis, Wang asked the treating doctor 蒲莲生 / Pu Liansheng to help her die.

The source later adds a reversal: Wang himself developed stomach cancer and wanted euthanasia, but without legislation and with hospitals refusing, he endured several more years of illness before death. This makes him an especially important case for the wiki’s End-of-Life Autonomy And Dignity and Assisted Dying Laws branch because he appears both as a family requester and as a later patient.
