The first female frozen person in China plans to "resurrect" to meet her family 50 years later. What is the current situation?
Death and eternal life seem to be two impossible topics, but do you believe that people can get eternal life after death? The development of cryonics technology makes the end of death become eternal life.
The idea of cryonics was first put forward in Neal Jones's science fiction Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio published in 193 1. After a person dies, the body should be quickly frozen at low temperature in an appropriate way and kept at some time in the future, waiting for the future person to be resurrected. Now the light of imagination shines into reality again.
Throughout the long history, the pursuit of immortality has never stopped. Even though no one has ever confirmed that the dream of eternal life can be realized, it is like a dragon in China, rooted in the heart, and seems to have clues to find but never seen. In ancient times, Qin Shihuang pursued immortality all his life and blessed him and his great achievements. Today, modern people cryopreserve in the distant future by cryonics. In the historical changes, the progress of science and technology has given mankind more choices in the face of life.
The winter nights are long and the days are short. At this time, nature is like a sleeping ice kingdom. Some animals hibernate in winter and then wait for the warm sunshine in spring to wake them up. When hibernating, although the sleeping animal looks like a corpse and is cold and stiff, it is actually only a short sleep and rest, like "suspended animation". This is the safest and safest way for them to survive in the cold winter when they can't find smooth food. Hibernation can reduce its own energy consumption, sleep until the spring when everything recovers, and find new food to replenish energy when the climate is warming.
Hibernation can minimize the energy consumption of animals, while cryopreservation can maximize the survival time. Cryopreservation technology is to preserve the human body at low temperature, let it "hibernate" to an era with more advanced technology, and then "wake up" by future technicians to realize the continuation of life.
The first frozen man in the world was James Bedford from America. He is a very rich businessman. He has stomach cancer and knows that his time is running out. He knows there is no way out, but he can't give up his wealth and reputation. He chose to freeze his body at 1967, hoping that when he wakes up tomorrow, gastric cancer is no longer a terminal disease and he can have a healthy body again. In 20 17, his family knew that his recovery was hopeless, but it was ridiculous. However, the freezing plan has to pay a large sum of money every year, so they refuse to continue to pay. The first person in the world was declared dead 50 years later. There are not only frozen people abroad, but also abroad. Then, the first female frozen person in China plans to "resurrect" and reunite with her family 50 years later. What is the current situation?
Freezing technology can prolong the hope of life and let the frozen people make up for the regret of life in the future. The first person frozen in China was Zhan Wenlian, who was born in an educated youth family in Xinjiang. She met her husband Gui Junmin in junior high school. Zhan Wenlian has the courage of modern women. She was generous in pursuing Gui Junmin, and often brought him food from home to express her love. They started a beautiful "puppy love". When Zhan Wenlian 18 years old, both parents were killed in a car accident. In the face of this sudden misfortune, as the eldest sister of the family and her younger brother and sister who are still at school, she must stand up strongly. When Gui Junmin, who was studying in a university in Shanghai at that time, heard about this incident, he rushed back despite the obstruction of his classmates and brought back his own documents to find his grieving girlfriend. In order to express his affection for his girlfriend, he chose to marry her. This beautiful love affair, which started from ignorance, officially entered the marriage hall.
The days after marriage are bitter, but both of them are optimistic people who are not afraid of difficulties and will take pains to encourage each other. With the support of her husband, Zhan Wenlian completed the bank entrance examination through self-study and was promoted all the way through her own efforts. Her husband grew up with her and became the vice principal of the sports school, and her life gradually improved with their efforts.
But in 20 15, when their son was about to get married, Zhan Wenlian was diagnosed with severe lung cancer and his life was running out. The bad news was like a heavy hammer, and the happiness of his family was destroyed and smashed to pieces by this heavy hammer. Gui Junmin didn't want to believe the reality that his wife was dying soon and couldn't accept the desperate news. He turned to seek medical advice, but he didn't hear the good news. He didn't believe that his beloved wife could leave him so early, and his heart ached day and night.
A doctor was moved by the love and kindness of the couple, and the ward director Lei told him, "If you can't part with your wife, there is actually another way to live". This method is cryonics technology, and I hope the future medical technology. My wife is now in a frozen state, and will not be awakened and cured until the medical conditions are mature enough in the future and lung cancer is no longer a terminal disease. The news brought him a little hope. When Gui Junmin knew this, he was like a drowning man grasping at a straw.
The traditional culture of China pays attention to the fate of birth, aging, illness and death. Man can't be an enemy of heaven, and being an enemy of heaven determines his fate. But now, he can't accept the pain of his wife's death, whether his fate is decided by heaven or not. The right to live or die should be in your own hands. Despite the opposition of all his relatives and friends, he signed the consent forms of various cryonics technologies, hoping to see his healthy wife again in his lifetime. His strong love for his wife made him unable to give up this method. He resolutely chose to leave her and their hope of happiness in this special way.
On May 8th, 20 17, Zhan Wenlian stopped breathing in the ward of Qilu Hospital of Shandong University, but her family sent her to the operating room instead of the funeral parlour, which lasted for 55 hours. She became the first person in China to be cryogenically frozen.
China's first female freezer is planned to "resurrect" to meet her family 50 years later. What is the current situation? Zhan Wenlian is a frozen volunteer, and most of her expenses are paid by the Foundation. Three years later, her husband Gui Junmin always visited his wife in a liquid nitrogen tank, and looked over his wife's previous photos again and again to relieve the pain of lovesickness. He said, "I'm not afraid that she will wake up and forget us. I'm afraid that she won't remember who she is." He knew that the desire to be with his wife for a long time was too slim to capture, but he clung to the last slim life.
All tangible things will eventually return to nature, and only the intangible spiritual world can be immortal. Freezing technology can freeze Zhan Wenlian's body, but it cannot freeze her eternal love with her husband. "Sometimes we meet and leave, and nothing lasts forever." This well-known "red bean" has revealed the eternal meaning. Words or sentences related to "eternity" are false propositions, but human beings, as an intelligent group, always dare to challenge everything, use their brains to come up with countless ways to pursue immortality, turn the impossible into possibility bit by bit, and human beings tirelessly explore and fantasize again and again. For example, in the novel "Three-body", the three-body man could not survive in a very harsh environment, so he dehydrated and folded into clothes, waiting for a chance to survive.
There are many controversies about cryonics technology. It is reasonable if it exists, and there is a market if there is demand. It is impossible for human beings to give up their desire for eternal life. This technology is a bridge between the future and reality, and all the unknowns are infinite possibilities.
Behind the first frozen man in China is a touching love story. Love from one end to the other shines into reality like a fairy tale. Gui Junmin's hard-to-give-up love for his wife seems to lighten the weight of this pain. Misfortune tests the sincerity of friends. If her husband abandons her, it will be worse for her. Then the unfortunate ending of her life must be melancholy and sad every day, but her husband's persistence and love make her unfortunate turning point a little brighter.
Seeing the eternity of suffering is God's mercy, and choosing to believe that love is the only salvation for mankind. This love is not a noble charity, but a humble appearance, accepting the imprint brought by suffering, thus gaining spiritual eternity.
