"Mom, auntie, she stood up!" One day in May 2008, after seeing her aunt Wu Guiying, who had been paralyzed in bed for many years, get up from bed, Wu Guiling's daughter was frightened and ran out of her aunt's room.
Hearing his daughter's words, Wu Guiling did not believe it at all, his sister Wu Guiying had been paralyzed in bed for twenty years, and he usually had to rely on others to take care of him when he ate, drank, and slept, how could he suddenly stand up?
But the daughter swore that she really saw this scene with her own eyes, and looking at her daughter who was scared and crying in front of her, Wu Guiling still decided to go to the house to have a look.
Through the dim light in the room, Wu Guiling clearly saw that her sister Wu Guiying was lying on the bed, and the quilt on her body seemed to maintain the appearance she had covered her sister.
Wu Guiling walked to Wu Guiying's side, looking left and right did not see any trace of her leaving the bed, she asked her sister if she had stood up, but her sister laughed at her stupidity, how could someone who had been paralyzed for twenty years get up and move?
Wu Guiling listened to his sister's affirmative words, but the doubt in his heart always lingered, because such a strange thing was not the first time that such a strange thing had happened in his own home.
As early as this day, Wu Guiling felt that there was something "unusual" in the home, she often saw a black shadow flashing at home, and fixed her eyes on it but there was nothing.
Wu Guiling had not cared about these things before, after all, the black shadows that flashed from time to time did not destroy her normal family life, there was no accident at home, and nothing was lost, so she should have done nothing.
However, today the daughter said that "the little aunt stood up", which made her unconsciously connect the two things together - was the previous black shadow really a sister?
Wu Gui, who witnessed the bizarre incident, made her daughter frightened a lot, and she often remembered the horrific picture of her aunt getting up from bed, so she simply left the house and moved to a relative's house.
A fog hung over the head of this ordinary rural family, and other people in the village even spread many rumors of gods and ghosts.
Wu Guiling had doubts in his heart but could not verify it, and could only leave this matter alone for the time being.
Who knows how long it wasn't long before Wu Guiling was also startled by his little sister Wu Guiying.
In August 2008, Wu Guiling went home to get the farm tools he had forgotten, and just collided with his sister who stood up — Wu Guiying not only got up from bed, but was still walking normally, a scene that for Wu Guiling was tantamount to "the scene of a horror movie."
Seeing the scene in front of her, Wu Guiling was frightened, and her sister, who usually lived day and night, became so strange at this moment, through her sister's body, she felt that she saw a completely strange soul.
Wu Guiying soon found that her every move was under her sister's eyes, she looked at her sister, and the whole person fell directly to the ground like a sudden loss of strength.
Wu Guiling also couldn't care about the truth of the matter, hurriedly ran out to ask for help, and moved his sister on the ground with a hug belt and placed her on the bed, Wu Guiling did not forget to cover her sister with a quilt.
Wu Guiying slept for a long time.
Looking at her sister's familiar sleeping face, Wu Guiling had ten thousand questions in her heart that she wanted to ask, but she had a vague premonition that she would not get the answer she wanted.
Sure enough, Wu Guiying woke up and showed no knowledge of his getting out of bed and walking, saying that he had not gotten out of bed, looking at his sister who did not look like she was lying, Wu Guiling was also confused.
It is true that my sister has been paralyzed in bed since she was fifteen years old and cannot walk, so what happened to the dark shadows in the house and the sister I and my daughter saw getting out of bed and walking? Could it be that the sister is possessed by a ghost?
Wu Guiling remembered a strange past, when her sister once said a few very strange Tianjin words when communicating with herself.
Wu Guiling's family lives in Yejiapu Village, Fucheng County, Hebei Province, and his father was an honest farmer who never went far.
Little sister Wu Guiying due to paralysis in her early years, has never been to Tianjin, it is reasonable to say that Wu Guiying did not have the conditions to contact the Tianjin dialect, these few sentences that had not attracted Wu Guiling's attention before were flashing a certain mysterious color at this moment.
The rural areas are small and densely populated, and such bizarre events soon spread locally.
Many people say that Wu Guiying may have been "borrowed by others to return the soul", and this "soul" happens to be a Tianjin person.
This speculation has been recognized by a considerable number of people, if an originally able-bodied Tianjin person "possessed" Wu Guiying's body through some kind of divine means, he could explain the mysteries that had happened before.
Rumors of the incident intensified, and people in the village felt that Wu Guiling's home was "unclean" and would rather walk a few more steps than bypass her house when passing.
Wu Guiling was half-convinced of the so-called "borrowing corpses to return the soul", because her sister did not have any other abnormal performances except for saying Tianjin dialect once and suddenly going to the ground, and she served her sister for so many years, and it was clear that her sister did not "change people".
But Wu Guiling also knew in her heart that if she didn't make this matter clear, the rumors from the outside world would never stop, and she couldn't continue to live with peace of mind.
With the help of other enthusiastic people, Wu Guiling installed a surveillance in his home, and as long as Wu Guiying secretly got up from the bed again, the camera could capture it.
For several days after the monitoring installation, Wu Guiying showed no sign of getting up from the bed, and Wu Guiling did not relax, thinking that as long as the sister stood up, the monitoring would always shoot something.
Sure enough, a few days later, when Wu Guiling's family went out one after another, and there was only Wu Guiying left in the family, Wu Guiying changed his weak and weak appearance in front of his sister and actually stood up from the bed.
In the surveillance footage, Wu Guiying moved freely like a normal person, turned around the room for a short time, and then slowly walked to the kitchen, as if looking for something to eat.
Wu Guiying looked around the kitchen for a week, took some peanuts and rice and returned to her room from the kitchen, she did not forget to make up the quilt after lying on the bed, and confirmed that there was no abnormality before lying down again with confidence.
The camera truly and clearly recorded the whole process of Wu Guiying getting out of bed - Wu Guiling looked at the pictures in the surveillance, and his heart was greatly impacted, and the cognition established over the past twenty years completely collapsed at this moment.
She went to her sister's room, picked up the peanut rice next to her sister's bed, and asked her sister to give her a reasonable explanation.
In the face of the so-called "evidence" in her sister's hands, Wu Guiying used her best pretense of stupidity.
"I don't know what's going on, I've never been out of bed." Wu Guiying always insisted on his own statement, and wu Guiling also took her for granted, and his sister refused to say, and he could not ask any valuable information.
Thinking about it, Wu Guiling finally decided to take her sister to the hospital for examination, and her sister's paralysis was something she had heard from her mother, but she had never seen the actual examination report.
This time, Wu Guiling decided to let medicine give the answer.
After a detailed examination by the hospital, the doctor told Wu Guiling that all kinds of indications showed that Wu Guiying was not paralyzed because of the lesions of body organs, in other words, Wu Guiying's body was not a problem.
Wu Guiling was very surprised, if her sister was not paralyzed because of illness, then why did she pretend to be sick and lie in bed?
Moreover, ordinary people can't stay in bed for three days, so why can their sister Wu Guiying be able to wear it for twenty years?
The source of the matter actually dates back many years, and all this that happened to Wu Guiying is actually inextricably linked to her family environment.
Parents will always unconsciously favor the youngest child, Wu Guiying in the family is just the most favored little daughter, although there are many children in the family, but Wu Guiying wants something, her mother will always try her best to meet her.
Born in the same family, Wu Guiling and Wu Guiying treated them completely differently from childhood to adulthood, and in Wu Guiling's impression, the mother was different from other children, and the children who were not favored looked at the one with special treatment, always envious and jealous.
Her mother's doting without principles and bottom lines has developed Wu Guiying's arrogant character, she is always self-centered, does not care about the feelings of others, and will make a big fuss once it is not smooth.
For Wu Guiying, as long as she makes a fuss, there is nothing she can't get. Whether it's her brother's snack or her sister's toy, she can use this method to get her hands on it.
The trigger for Wu Guiying's paralysis came from an argument between her and her brother. The brother did not tolerate her arrogant temper that her mother had used to, and not only did not follow her, but gave her two slaps.
These two slaps are a momentary breath in the eyes of her brother, and they are also the lessons that my brother taught my sister as a brother, but Wu Guiying does not think so, and the two slaps given to her by her brother make her feel that she no longer wants to be windy and rainy as before.
In order to get the attention and love of her family for a long time, Wu Guiying decided to let herself have a serious illness and continue to be sick.
In 1988, Wu Guiying was only fifteen years old, and she lay there for twenty years.
When Wu Guiying's mother was still alive, her mother always took care of her diet and living, and as for whether her mother knew whether her sister was pretending to be ill, Wu Guiling was also difficult to make up her mind.
I am afraid that with the mother's unconditional doting on her sister, even if the mother accidentally glimpses the truth, she will only cooperate with her sister's acting, just like when she helped her sister take away Wu Guiling's toys when she was a child, to help her sister cover up the truth of the matter.
After the death of his mother, the task of taking care of Wu Guiying fell on Wu Guiling's shoulders.
In order to fulfill her mother's entrustment, Wu Guiling has been taking care of her little sister without complaint over the years. Unexpectedly, my sister was pretending to be ill.
After learning that Wu Guiying's so-called paralysis was completely feigning illness, Wu Guiling decided to find a way to get her sister back on her feet, and since her sister's physical function did not show any signs of lesions, the only thing that hindered her from standing up was her own heart.
Wu Guiying's disease is actually called "hysteria", that is, a dissociative disorder in the medical profession, and patients with hysteria usually manifest as a performative personality and self-centeredness, and patients sometimes achieve inner desires by performing a certain disease.
In 2009, Wu Guiling took Wu Guiying to find a psychologist called Che Jielong, hoping that through the spiritual assistance of the outside world, Wu Guiying would face up to the fact that she could walk, so that she could return to normal.
After passing the diagnosis, experts determined that Wu Guiying was a very typical hysterical patient, but in front of outsiders, Wu Guiying was convinced of his paralysis, so it was not easy to wake up a person who had performed for twenty years.
Psychologists and traditional doctors treat diseases in the same way, both must be the right medicine to get positive feedback from patients, in order to understand Wu Guiying's psychological pain points, experts and her for a long time to communicate.
Under normal circumstances, the way hysterical patients wake up is usually positive, in other words, it is to induce them with a good life after the patient's recovery, so that the patient voluntarily comes out of the closed inner world.
But Wu Guiying subconsciously accepted the idea that as long as he was sick and lying in bed, he would get everything he wanted, so when Che Jielong used this method, he obviously felt that Wu Guiying did not eat this set.
One road is not feasible, and the car industry dragon can only change one road and go again. The so-called lie is repeated a thousand times to become a fact, and the best way to make Wu Guiying realize that she is not paralyzed is to expose her lies.
"You lied to your sister, you fooled the people around you, but you can't fool me, you don't pretend anymore, today I give you one last chance, if you are not willing to stand up, then you can only lie down for the rest of your life." 」 Che Jielong directly reprimanded Wu Guiying severely.
In other words, Che Jielong knew at a glance that the patient's illness in front of him was pretended, in his words, "Her acting skills are too poor." ”
Hearing che jielong's words, Wu Guiying's original self-assured look finally appeared a crack, she originally thought that she had performed seamlessly in the past twenty years, but she did not expect that the lie was finally recognized.
Under the gaze of Che Jielong, Wu Guiying, who had never taken the initiative to stand up in front of others in twenty years, slowly stood up with the help of the environment, and even moved forward a few steps.
Wu Guiling was also very happy to see her sister who had been bedridden for many years finally overcome her psychological obstacles, her sister was paralyzed at the age of fifteen, and now she is only thirty-five years old, and she still has a happy life.
In the face of Wu Guiying and Wu Guiling's two sisters, Che Jielong also expressed his worries - after all, Wu Guiying has been paralyzed for so many years, and the kan'er in her heart will never be completely eliminated because of this one stand up, and more attention needs to be paid to in the future, otherwise Wu Guiying is likely to "recur the old disease".
Wu Guiling knew that her sister's hysteria could never be completely eradicated overnight, but it didn't matter, as long as her sister was willing to realize that she was not paralyzed and was willing to stand up and start a normal life again, she believed that her sister would one day be completely cured.
It is gratifying that Wu Guiying's attitude after that is very positive, before due to long-term bed rest, her leg muscles have atrophied, under the encouragement of her sister's family, she insists on daily rehabilitation training, and now she has been able to move freely, and her weight is gradually increasing.
On new Year's Day in 2022, when a reporter went to Visit Wu Guiying in Yejiapu Village, Fucheng County, she stopped dodging at the camera, and it seemed that after this incident, she had become mature and no longer hated her brother.
Talking about her hopes for the future, she said that she had spent a lot of years lying in bed before, and she would definitely not be like this in the future, she wanted to learn a craft, and then marry a reliable husband and start her own small family.
I sincerely wish Wu Guiying can have a more happy and happy life!
