In the 2016 movie "Breaking the Sky", Liu Qingyun played professor Che Jiawei, who was transplanted into the heart of the serial killer general.
After the operation, Che Jiawei's personality underwent a complete change, not only becoming cruel and indifferent, but even acting more and more like a criminal general.
A story like this, many people would think that it can only appear in movies.
But in fact, a similar situation has occurred in real life.
One day in 2001, a man rushed to the cardiology department of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University, took the doctor's hand, and said very excitedly: "Doctor, it seems that I am no longer me, it is like a changed person." ”
When the doctor saw that the man was so panicked, he asked him to sit down quickly and explain the specific situation to himself.
However, just as the man was about to speak, a nurse walked in from outside and said, "Hey, aren't you the one who did the heart-changing surgery before?" Why did you come to the hospital today, is it the heart and body rejection reaction? ”
Hearing the nurse's words, the man was silent for a moment and said, "Yes, but not." ”
Subsequently, the man told the two about the strange things that happened after he changed his mind. Not only did he become lively and cheerful, but he also began to write poems like crazy, one poem a day, a total of 99 poems.
More importantly, I often dream of being chased and killed in my dreams.
So, who is this man? Why did he change so much after a heart transplant? Whose heart is his body now?
There is a problem with the heart
This person's name is Yang Mengyong, and he was born in a small mountain village in Shandong. Because his father died early, his mother hated him as a burden, so she remarried early, leaving him alone.
At that time, it was the era of war, in order to escape, Yang Mengyong followed his uncle to the Northern Wilderness.
Because his uncle was busy making money and living, he rarely brought Yang Mengyong warmth and care. In addition, the Northern Wilderness is a sparsely populated and very desolate place.
This also makes Yang Mengyong develop a taciturn, non-verbal, indifferent and pessimistic character.
In his youth, Yang Mengyong had a cowardly and timid personality, and was often bullied by other children of the same age. In his opinion, he should not live in this world.
Because of this, Yang Mengyong will be a little more sensitive than others, and can always find things that others don't expect.
After becoming an adult, Yang Mengyong also changed several jobs because of this personality, resulting in a life without a fixed home and a rich income.
When he was 19 years old, Yang Mengyong met a female worker, Li Guangping, in a farm in the Northern Wilderness.
The two fell in love at first sight, and then, with the help of their parents, they quickly married and became a couple.
However, the sweet life after marriage did not last long, and the two often quarreled over small things because of their different personalities and interests.
For example, Li Guangping likes to listen to some cheerful music, but Yang Mengyong does not like it. Once Li Guangping was listening to music on the radio at home, and after being heard by Yang Mengyong, he directly rushed up to turn off the radio, and said that such a sound was too noisy and disturbed his thinking.
"If you feel noisy, go out and don't stay at home." Li Guangping said very angrily, and then turned on the radio again and continued to listen to music.
But such a cheerful voice made Yang Mengyong unbearable. He ran back into the room, locked the door, and covered his face with a pillow in an attempt to make the sound disappear from his ears.
The two often quarreled over such things, and when it was serious, Yang Mengyong also said to his wife: "If you are like this, we will divorce, and this day will not pass!" ”
"But not!" Li Guangping threw away the things in his hand and ran out directly.
Afterwards, both realized that they were wrong, but they could not pull down their faces to apologize to each other.
In this way, both husband and wife lived a very painful life. During this period, the two also had 3 children together.
There was a time when Yang Mengyong realized that the two could not continue to suffer like this, so he wanted to divorce his wife.
After learning of Yang Mengyong's idea, Li Guangping directly refused, she knew Yang Mengyong's life experience since childhood, so she wanted to change him with her love.
In the rest of her life, Li Guangping has been living this repressive life.
It is precisely because of this that Li Guangping suffers from severe hyperthyroidism, and her personality has become very grumpy, often losing her temper and dropping things for no reason.
After Li Guangping's illness, Yang Mengyong's heart was also very painful. For this reason, he also had suicidal thoughts, but whenever he wanted to commit suicide, his family would always come to mind.
Unable to commit suicide, Yang Mengyong began to pray to heaven, hoping that he would get a serious illness and let himself die.
Perhaps Shangtian really heard Yang Mengyong's begging, and in 1980, Heaven fulfilled his wish.
That day, Yang Mengyong was working on the farm as usual, when suddenly he felt a throbbing in his heart, and then he stood up straight down in front of his eyes.
The workers on the side saw the situation and hurriedly picked him up and took him to the hospital for examination.
After waiting for a while, Yang Mengyong woke up, and the doctor told him that he had a serious heart attack.
When he heard this news, Yang Mengyong only felt that his mind was blank, and his ears were full of buzzing sounds.
Although Yang Mengyong often begged heaven to let him get sick as soon as possible, he died. But when this day really came, he seemed a little overwhelmed. There are even some regrets about what they did in the first place.
After Li Guangping learned that her husband was ill, her temper became less violent than before, and she would accompany her husband to the hospital every day for treatment.
Li Guangping believes that as long as her husband receives good treatment, he will definitely recover in the future.
Compared with Li Guangping's optimism, Yang Mengyong is a bit sad and compassionate.
He lay on the hospital bed, looking lifeless, numbly eating the food in his hand, looking out the window.
Seeing her husband so sad and lonely, Li Guangping would always gently comfort him: "Don't be so sad, believe the doctor, your disease will definitely be cured." ”
"Even if it is cured, what is the use?" Now I take medicine and am hospitalized every day, and I have to spend a lot of money every day. Instead of that, let me die and leave the money to the kids. Yang Mengyong said with a frustrated face.
Hearing such words, Li Guangping almost couldn't help but cry, but she knew she couldn't cry.
She lowered her head to dry the tears from the corners of her eyes, raised her head and smiled at her husband, "Don't think so, the children are still waiting for you to be discharged from the hospital and go home to eat together." Don't think about it so much, take the medicine well, I'll go out and get you some hot water. ”
With that, he picked up the kettle on the table and walked out quickly. When she walked out of the ward, Li Guangping couldn't help but cry.
After stabilizing her mood, she became the optimistic and cheerful Li Guangping again.
For his wife's sadness, Yang Mengyong knows that he understands that his wife is not easy, and he also understands that he is dragging down the family.
So later, Yang Mengyong took advantage of the doctor's lack of attention, sneaked out of the hospital and returned to his hometown in Shandong.
The next day, when Li Guangping came to the hospital to bring him food, she did not find her husband.2 So she hurriedly found the nurse in the hospital, but the nurse said that after Yang Mengyong finished taking the medicine yesterday, she went back to the ward to sleep.
Hearing the nurse's words, Li Guangping realized that her husband did not want to receive treatment and left. In desperation, Li Guangping had to say to her daughter: "Write a letter to your father, ask him where he is, and let him come back quickly." ”
Yang Mengyong usually hurts this eldest daughter the most, so Yang Mengyong will most likely listen to the eldest daughter's words.
After that, the eldest daughter hurriedly wrote several letters to Yang Mengyong and sent them to the place where he usually might go back.
After some twists and turns, Yang Mengyong, who was far away from his hometown in Shandong, received a letter from his eldest daughter to himself.
It said that the eldest daughter missed him, and Li Guangping's worries about him. At the end of the letter, the eldest daughter hoped that Yang Mengyong would come back for treatment as soon as possible and stop worrying them.
Looking at the letter sent by his daughter, Yang Mengyong burst into tears.
At this time, he realized how much pain and tears he had brought to his family.
Therefore, Yang Mengyong returned to his home in the Northern Wilderness on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve.
The moment she saw her husband return, Li Guangping directly cried out and kept questioning her husband where he had gone.
Undergo a heart transplant
Within a few days of Yang Mengyong, Li Guangping immediately dragged him to the hospital for examination.
After the doctor's examination, Yang Mengyong's heart condition has become very serious.
Looking at her husband who was tormented by his illness, Li Guangping lost her voice and cried bitterly. He was then taken to the hospital in Harbin for examination.
However, the results of the examination shocked everyone.
It turned out that Yang Mengyong's heart had expanded to twice the size of a normal person, and according to this situation, Yang Mengyong only had one year left.
If Yang Mengyong was sick during this period, he would only have half a year left.
"Is there any good treatment?" Li Guangping took the doctor's hand and asked very anxiously.
The doctor sighed and said, "The only way now is for him to have a heart transplant." ”
Hearing this result, Li Guangping washed her face with tears all day. She kept complaining to herself, why couldn't she restrain her temper, why couldn't she be nicer to her husband?
Finally, after some thought, Li Guangping decided to let her husband undergo a heart transplant.
But at this time, Yang Mengyong already felt very desperate for life, he refused heart transplant surgery, and also refused everyone's persuasion, ready to die like this.
But Li Guangping did not give him this opportunity, she quietly signed the operating form, and came to her husband's bedside and said: "I have signed, you will receive treatment." ”
I thought that Yang Mengyong would be furious, but what he didn't expect was that his attitude was very indifferent, saying: "Sign it, sign it, and the rest will be left to fate." ”
Yang Mengyong held an attitude of indifference and watched the doctors nervously prepare for the operation.
But at this time, another difficult problem lies in front of the doctor.
That is to find a suitable donor, and the various risks that may arise during the procedure.
Yang Mengyong was lucky, and soon after, the doctor finally found a heart that suited Yang Mengyong's body.
But although a suitable donor has been found, the doctors have become even more difficult.
To know that the age of the patient to receive a heart transplant is not more than 55 years old. At that time, Yang Mengyong was already 57 years old, and you can imagine how risky this operation is.
In order to ensure that the operation can be carried out smoothly, on January 16, 2000, Harbin Medical Hospital mobilized more than 100 medical staff and experienced more than 6 hours to finally complete the operation.
After the operation, the hospital arranged 10 nurses to take turns to stand by Yang Mengyong's side and observe his specific situation.
After a full 12 hours in a coma, Yang Mengyong finally woke up.
After some examination, it was found that Yang Mengyong's physical condition was all healthy, and many medical staff were relieved.
After that, Yang Mengyong began to carry out rehabilitation training according to the doctor's instructions.
However, what everyone did not expect was that Yang Mengyong could actually get out of bed and walk on the third day after the operation.
And Yang Mengyong also said: "From the end of the operation to the time I left the intensive care unit, I did not feel a single pain. And I feel like I have an inexhaustible amount of strength right now. ”
Prior to this, Yang Mengyong's heart was expanding, resulting in the inability of blood to flow throughout his body, and various organs of his body were malfunctioning. Not even a complete sentence can be uttered.
But after changing a healthy heart, Yang Mengyong's body recovered quickly, from a weak patient to a healthy person.
Seeing her husband's recovery, Li Guangping was also happy from the bottom of her heart.
Soon after, however, the joy in her heart was replaced by a feeling of doubt.
After the heart transplant, the temperament changed dramatically
In the night a week after the operation, Yang Mengyong was sleeping, suddenly sat up directly from the bed, and then cried for no reason.
Li Guangping, who heard the voice, hurried to her husband's bed and asked what had happened.
But Yang Mengyong said: "I feel that I am very wronged in my heart and want to cry." ”
Hearing this, Li Guangping breathed a sigh of relief, patted her husband's back and said, "If you want to cry, cry." ”
Li Guangping thought that her husband had just returned from the "ghost gate", and her mood had not yet calmed down.
But afterwards, Yang Mengyong said: "At 3 o'clock in the middle of the night that night, I suddenly woke up, and then sat on the bed and cried, like a wronged child, I felt very uncomfortable in my heart." I cried for five or six minutes. ”
I had a hard time picking up a life, and it should be happy to say that I was happy, so why did I cry inexplicably?
Yang Mengyong was puzzled, because this kind of crying was like a kind of emotional catharsis, neither sad and sad, nor happy to recover his health.
Originally, Li Guangping did not pay attention to these things.
But after this incident, Yang Mengyong's personality has undergone earth-shaking changes, not only began to write poetry day and night, but also can write 10 hours of long novels to express his feelings in his heart.
Once, when Li Guangping came back from work, she saw that her husband was still sitting there writing, so she went up to inquire.
But her husband said to her, "I don't know what's going on, but the inspiration in my head is like a spring of water, gushing out." ”
Li Guangping knew that her husband had worked as a copywriter before, and she could understand that she wanted to record her mood with words after the operation.
But in addition to these, the husband's personality, living habits and hobbies are completely different from before.
In the past, Yang Mengyong was silent and taciturn, and always did not like to talk. But now he has not only become very talkative, but also has a very short temper and always quarrels with Li Guangping.
After the quarrel, Yang Mengyong would suddenly wake up and immediately confess his mistake to Li Guangping.
But Li Guangping always comforted him and said, "It's okay, if you want to lose your temper, I can stand it." ”
In fact, Yang Mengyong has seen his wife's tolerance and love in these years, but he was always not good at expressing his feelings before.
In the days that followed, Li Guangping sprained her foot and needed to recuperate in bed at home.
Yang Mengyong took care of his wife at home for 17 days. During this period, whenever she was in an irritable mood, Yang Mengyong would always pick up the flute for her and play a song "The Moon Represents My Heart".
Before that, Yang Mengyong did not like to listen to cheerful music at all, and the two often quarreled over this matter.
After hearing the music played by her husband, Li Guangping said excitedly: "Old Yang, do you know how long I have been waiting for this day?" I knew I wasn't looking at the wrong person. ”
In addition to these, Yang Mengyong's dressing style, appearance, diet and hobbies have also become different from before.
Not only is he getting younger, but he also particularly enjoys sports such as basketball, running, and boxing.
There are some changes in personality, which is a good thing for Yang Mengyong and Li Guangping.
But there is one point that makes the two feel very confused, that is, Yang Mengyong often has nightmares in the middle of the night, and in the dream, he will always see someone chasing after him.
In order to find out the situation, the couple went to the hospital where they had previously operated, wanting to know who provided him with the heart.
However, the hospital has a strict confidentiality system, and doctors are not allowed to disclose the personal information of donors at will.
In the end, the couple can only know that the person who provided Yang Mengyong with his heart is a 26-year-old boy who has a violent tendency before he died.
The rest of the things, they don't know anything.
For the changes in Yang Mengyong's body, relevant doctors and experts also gave their own explanations.
The first is Yang Mengyong's own psychological role, after he recovered his health, the disease gave him a new understanding of life.
The second is cellular memory, the human body's organs will have "cellular memory", these memories will be transferred to another person with the transplantation of the organ.
The third is the impact of drugs on Yang Mengyong, because he took medicine for a long time during his illness, the drugs had a certain impact on the hormones in his body, which led to changes in his mood.
But in any case, Yang Mengyong has now recovered his health and lives happily with his family.
When completing heart surgery, Yang Mengyong took this day as his birthday.
And he added: "This operation changed my marriage and changed my life. Because I finally understood what love is. ”
Now 22 years later, Yang Mengyong's physical condition is still the same health, and he and his wife are also happy.
Finally, I wish Yang Mengyong good health and a happy reunion with his family.
