Internet guru diagnosed with cancer

Kai-Fu Lee, a prominent figure in China's Internet industry and a popular blogger, received many messages of support on Friday, the day after revealing online that he was suffering from lymphoma.

"I am really moved by the many messages I have received. I always believe that how a person reacts when confronted with a disease determines the quality of his spiritual world in the future," Lee wrote on his Sina Weibo micro blog on Friday morning.

"Although lymphoma is a serious disease, which worries my family members and friends a lot, I know this is life, full of unexpected things. I will choose to face it, as diseases are part of life."
