In the past, people will see such a meme on the Internet, saying that someone took the kidney to change in order to buy an iPhone, and later even gave the iPhone 4 a nickname called kidney 4, many people think that this is just a joke, but it is a real case.
In 2011, there was an Anhui teenager who bought the iPhone 4 he wanted by selling his kidneys. But in the end, he destroyed his body and lost 1.47 million, so who is this teenager? How did he get more than 1 million in compensation?
One: Apple's phone is indeed attractive
What we call the Apple phone is a series of mobile phones equipped with the IOS operating system. The earliest generation of Apple mobile phones is called iPhone, and the back is constantly updated iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, iPhone4 and iPhone4S... In 2021, there are already the latest versions of the iPhone 13mini and iPhone 13.
The functional features of Apple mobile phones have certain advantages in terms of processor, mute key, interface and wireless charging. It includes the configuration of the iPhone's self-developed chip and GPU core and internal controller. In terms of mutes, users can quickly switch between ringtone and classic mode, so that consumers have a sense of high-tech experience.
It can be said that the Apple mobile phone was a very good best-selling product at that time. Apple's sales volume has always been very good, but I don't know if you remember:
Apple once said at the press conference that it is not their fault that their products are expensive, that is to say, Apple products have never been sold too cheaply. If you can't afford it, that's a problem that consumers can't afford.
Since consumers will consider the price of the product when buying Apple products, they must consider their own income situation. If the price of the product exceeds the price that it can afford, it is reasonable to say that consumers should do what they can, rather than blindly consume.
But unexpectedly, in 2011, an Anhui teenager made an incomprehensible choice in order to be able to buy a latest iPhone4 mobile phone. That is, he cut off his kidney, left an eleven-centimeter-long scar, and bought an Apple mobile phone after changing to funds.
Before the iPhone 4 product came out in 2010, consumers around the world were looking forward to it. But perhaps because of the hunger effect, many Chinese consumers have squeezed their heads and want to take advantage of the first batch of rush sales.
But at that time, the iPhone 4 16G product price was about 3200 yuan, and the 32G iPhone 4 was priced at about 4000 yuan. Although this price seems to be acceptable in 2021, many people in the consumer view at that time will feel that this price exceeds people's expectations, that is to say, it is a bit expensive.
Many Chinese consumers want to fight for this face even if they bite their teeth, and they begin to consume blindly, so everyone continues to scramble to grab the iPhone4. In the context of such a large consumption, Wang Yang, a high school student who was only 17 years old at the time, began to have a passion for the iPhone4 mobile phone under the introduction of his classmates.
But he did not catch up with the first wave of rush sales, because Wang Yang's family conditions were not good, and his parents could only give Wang Yang a few pieces of pocket money every week, at most a dozen yuan. In 2011, Wang Yang still did not give up buying the iPhone4, but he had a crazy idea: that is, to sell kidneys for money.
In April, Wang Yang found some big brothers who mixed society through his classmates, learned about the black market intermediaries, and after the operation of these people, Wang Yang willingly sold one of his healthy kidneys. Although Wang Yang successfully exchanged 22,000 yuan, after a later court investigation, the kidney was sold through a black market intermediary, and the actual transaction price was 250,000 yuan.
After getting the money, Wang Yang did not immediately go to the hospital to check his body, although his abdomen was slightly painful, but he thought that he would soon be able to get the Apple mobile phone he thought about day and night, so he couldn't care about the discomfort on his body, happily took the money to the store, and bought the iPhone4 as he wished.
Wang Yang later felt that the iPhone4 could not satisfy his vanity, plus there was still money left in his hand, so he returned to the mall with the remaining money and bought an iPad2.
After returning home, Wang Yang could not explain to his parents how the two electronic products were obtained, so Wang Yang could only avoid his parents and hide the electronic products for use.
But Wang Yang's physical condition was getting worse and worse at this time, and he didn't dare to explain the problems he encountered to his parents, let alone go to the hospital, so he wanted to continue to carry it like this. He thought that if he carried it for a while, his body would slowly recover, but he did not expect that he thought about it too simply.
Wang Yang's physical condition was difficult to hide from his parents, and it didn't take long to find that there was something wrong with his son, so under questioning, Wang Yang's parents understood the truth of the matter. When his parents sent Wang Yang to the local hospital for examination, they found that Wang Yang was already a third-degree disability.
The parents looked at Wang Yang lying on the hospital bed and felt like a knife, and blamed themselves for not taking good care of their son and letting his son do something stupid. Wang Yang's father also blamed himself for not being able to provide a good growth environment for his son, and did not understand Wang Yang's psychological changes in growth in time, which caused an irreversible situation.
Before Wang Yang cut off his right kidney, his weight was always maintained at about 140 pounds, but after cutting his kidney, his weight began to decline continuously, and his weight had fallen to less than 100 pounds in less than a week after being sent to the hospital.
Second: blind consumption is not advisable
Wang Yang's parents spent all the family's savings in order to save their son, and most of the money was spent on kidney dialysis for Wang Yang. In the end, their family could only apply to the local government for a minimum guarantee and rely on the government's support to survive.
But it is also strange to say that Wang Yang's parents did not choose to call the police at that time, and finally the matter was filed under the advice of the public prosecution organ. Later, under the pursuit of the public security organs, all the black market personnel involved in the case were arrested and brought to justice.
The first defendant, named He Wei, said that because he was saddled with huge debts, he wanted to make huge profits by illegally buying and selling human organs on the black market. Eventually embarked on this path of violating morality and the law.
When he appeared in court in August, He Wei also slyly argued in court that he had been contacted by someone else, begging him to give a person kidney surgery. He said that he did not know that Wang Yang was a minor, but only knew that others had asked for him, and he was pulled down.
During the case, the second defendant's name was Yin Shen. He actually said that selling kidneys was a very normal thing, and he didn't know why Wang Yang would think of himself as the 2nd defendant by selling kidneys. He didn't think there was anything wrong with this matter, and he didn't think it was a criminal thing.
Yin Shen also slyly argued that he had also sold his kidneys, and had not had any impact on his life, but occasionally he would have back pain when the weather was bad, which did not affect his normal life. In addition, Yin Shen also said that he has always had a very good relationship with his girlfriend, and in some ways there is no adverse impact.
He also said that he only played a role in the whole case, and he only received a total of 3,000 yuan in intermediary fees before and after, so he did not understand why he was sued as the second defendant by the public prosecution.
The person who contacted Wang Yang with the chief surgeon was named Tang Shimin, who said that Wang Yang had his kidney removed and did not know why the operation occurred. Tang Shiming argued that it was He Wei who wanted to help provide the venue to find some medical staff, and he only helped He Wei, the core personnel, do some small things, he said that he and Wang Yang did not have any direct contact. So in this case, Tang Shimin said that he had nothing to do with the case.
The chief surgeon who operated on Wang Yang was named Song Zhongyu, who said that Wang Yang's experience of this tragedy had nothing to do with him, he was just He Wei provided relevant technology, and nothing else was his consideration. That is to say, as long as He Wei gives Song Zhong some money, he can provide He Wei with transplantation technology. He wouldn't take care of anything else, even if what He Wei was doing was something illegal and criminal, he wouldn't care?
The person who provided the venue for the operation also included Su Kaizong, who said that he did not know the truth of the matter. It was only He Wei who told him that he was going to have a blood vessel transplant in a certain place, and later he learned that it was a kidney operation. Before the crime, he was also the outpatient director of the male urology department of the local hospital, so Su Kaizong's future was ruined after the incident, and he was finally sentenced to three years in prison.
No matter how these people blame each other, when they need to accept the guilt, none of them can run.
Wang Yang finally went through the court trial and received a total of 1.47 million yuan in compensation from multiple defendants. The other defendants were sent to prison, and two of them were exonerated. He Wei was sentenced to 5 years in prison as a central figure.
Yin Shen was sentenced to four years in prison as a donor contact and Tang Shimin was sentenced to three years in prison as a surgical contact. Song Zhong was then sentenced to three years' imprisonment, and the rest were given a lenient punishment depending on the extent of the circumstances.
Since then, Wang Yang's life has been even more tragic than people think, although he received 1.47 million yuan in compensation, but because the original operation was unprofessional, Wang Yang's body left many sequelae. Even after a professional examination, Wang Yang's body still needed to bear a huge load. And his other organs have also been affected by health, which means that Wang Yang will inevitably bear great pressure from the body in the next life.
Wang Yang is a boy, and although he was only 17 years old when he experienced the case, he will inevitably consider getting married and having children as time goes on. The case itself has already dealt a heavy blow to Wang Yang's original family.
When Wang Yang re-establishes a small family, this will also have a certain impact on his wife and even children. And perhaps these effects may not be filled by more than 1.4 million. But fortunately, Wang Yang's life was saved. I hope that after experiencing this incident, he will be able to repent and correct his three views.
This case should arouse our vigilance, we must help modern teenagers establish the correct three views, sometimes love vanity, blind consumption can really destroy a person. At the same time, parents, schools and society should pay more attention to the psychological changes of adolescents, the signs are not right, and the three parties should timely guide the children's psychology.
