Return From Death’s Door

Survival
幸存 is the most common way to express “survival” in Chinese. This can also refer to a survivor of a disaster.

適者生存 is the Chinese, Japanese Kanji, and old Korean Hanja for “survival of the fittest.”
The Weak are Meat, The Strong Eat
Meaning: Survival of the fittest
