In today's society, everyone sings about love, as if all sincere feelings are illusory, but there are always people who prove to us that true love is eternal and unchanging, can transcend the dimensions of time and space, and break the barriers between life and death.
In 2013, when Schumacher fell into a coma due to an accident while skiing in the Alps, doctors asserted that he would become a vegetative person and that recovery was minimal, and the lawyer suggested that it was better to perform euthanasia and let him leave with dignity.
But Che Wang's wife, Corinne, flatly rejected this proposal, in order to cure her husband, she sold private jets and luxury villas to create a professional medical team, spending hundreds of millions of assets to take her husband around for medical treatment, and now 8 years later, although Schumacher has improved, the follow-up treatment costs are still comparable to sky-high prices.
Speed and love
Born in 1969 in Helmheim, Germany, Schumacher's father was a bricklayer and part-time caretaker of a karting yard, so although his family was modest, he had many opportunities to get involved in racing from an early age, and at the age of 6 he won the local karting competition.
And his father is very enlightened, after finding out that his son likes racing, he tried his best to help him realize his ideals, and when his family had no money, he pulled sponsorship everywhere, so he trained him step by step into a professional racing driver, and finally rushed out of Germany to Europe.
In 1983, the 14-year-old Schumacher achieved good results in his first karting competition, followed by two consecutive German karting championships, and in 1987 he won the European karting championship, became famous in one battle, attracted the attention of some F3 teams, and gradually began to step into Formula events.
In these races, he gained friends who fought side by side, and also met the love of his life, Corinne, when Corinne and teammate Frenzen were in a hot love period, and Schumacher, although his heart was throbbing, did not dare to declare it, and could only vent all his emotions on the track.
In 1990, Schumacher won five races in F3 and won the German F3 championship that season. The following year, he finished second at the Japanese circuit for his first time in the F3000 and successfully started the journey of the Formula One World Series.
Beginning in 1992, at the age of 23, Schumacher began racing for berthon, one of the world's top teams, and thus entered the golden age of his racing career.
At this time, Frenzen insisted on going to Japan to participate in the race despite his girlfriend's objections, and the distance of tens of thousands of kilometers made the contradictions between them continue to be amplified, and soon reached the point of breaking up.
Schumacher rushed to Corinne's side after learning that the lover of his dream had recovered from being single, but his attitude towards love had a german introversion, and he did not conquer his lover with a fierce pursuit, but through companionship, he touched Corinne's heart with pulse warmth.
In 1994, after a victory in a race, Schumacher plucked up the courage to confess to Corinne, who accompanied him: "You are my strength, and I hope you will accompany me through every track of life." His affectionate words made Corinne cry with joy, and the two embraced each other excitedly.
Also in this year, Schumacher won 9 consecutive championships and won his first F1 championship in his life.
In 1995, the 26-year-old Schumacher broke through and once again helped Benalton win the world championship, and in the same year he married the goddess Corinne, whom he had loved for 8 years, and the career love double harvest.
In 1996, Schumacher transferred to the famous Ferrari team, but his career suffered a series of changes such as car collisions, race tires, and broken feet in the middle, which made him miss three championship trophies in his best years, fortunately, Corinne has always been by his side, and the difficulties have sharpened the feelings of the two people more tenaciously.
It wasn't until 2000 that Schumacher once again ushered in the spring of his career, winning the first Driver's Championship and Constructors' Championship for Ferrari in 21 years, and then he won the F1 Championship for five consecutive years, almost breaking all the records of Formula 1 events, and countless fans around the world went crazy for him, and people even called him one of the world's greatest car kings.
Behind the glory of the car king has always supported his wife Corinne, every time Schumacher stands on the podium, there will always be a wife below, the two have experienced glory to the trough, and from loss to climb the peak, their feelings are always the same.
Many people have teased that they stick together all day, in addition to racing, they ride horses, ski, travel, and devote themselves to public welfare together, and when the Indian Ocean tsunami occurred in 2004, the Schumachers donated $10 million for the first time, more than bill Gates, the world's richest man.
In the sports world where football stars are full of scandals and basketball superstar girlfriends are constantly on, the Schumachers are like a clear stream, they are loyal to each other, there has never been any peach news, and many paparazzi can't help but shake their heads and sigh, because the news they made up is not believed at all.
However, the world was not kind, just one year after Schumacher officially retired, a sudden accident made their love the biggest challenge ever, countless people advised Corinne to give up her husband, but her choice touched everyone.
The King of Che was devastated
Formula One is the highest level of racing in the world of racing, whether it is the endurance, reaction or physical fitness of the driver is extremely demanding, the average driver's golden age is between 20 and 35 years old, beyond this age it is difficult to reach the top.
In 2006, at the age of 37, Schumacher realized the changes in his body and decided to turn around and leave at his best, announcing his retirement in public after the Brazil race, and then stayed with the Ferrari team as a consultant.
However, the obsession with speed remains in his heart and cannot be erased, and he can only wield his blood in some motorcycle races.
In 2010, after more than 50 years of silence, the Medes-Benz team returned to the F1 arena again, they urgently needed a top driver to stand firm, and Schumacher was bent on the life-and-death contest on the field, so the two sides hit it off, and Schumacher re-emerged and began to play for the Mercedes-Benz team.
However, after all, it is the old Ji Futuo, Schumacher wants to stand on the podium of the championship is basically impossible, from 2010 to 2012, Schumacher has lost to the young rothberg and Hamilton, the point ranking has also plummeted, he was forced to recognize the reality and retire again.
The lost Schumacher was soon rejuvenated by his wife and a pair of children, and at this time he was 43 years old and began to gradually shift his focus to spending time with his family.
He built a horse farm for his wife, who loved horseback riding, where the couple occasionally relaxed, sometimes traveling together in private jets around the world.
It wasn't until December 29, 2013, that Schumacher took his 14-year-old son and friends to Grenoble in the French Alps to ski, and before leaving, he said to his wife: "This ski resort is not too good, next time I will take you to ski somewhere else." ”
Corinne smiled and nodded, watching her husband leave by plane, who knew that this trip was actually 5 years of "life and death".
At 11 a.m. Schumacher slid down from a snow platform at an altitude of 2,738 meters, and according to witnesses, his speed did not exceed 20 km/h, that is, almost like an electric car, which was supposed to be no problem, but perhaps too confident in his skiing skills, Schumacher left the smooth slopes and chose a wild track to continue sliding.
The Alps are rocky and covered with countless obstacles under the snow, and Schumacher slid down more than a hundred meters on the left skateboard when he hit a rock.
After losing his balance, Schumacher fell forward and hit the rock on the right side of his head, and his helmet shattered on the spot.
Schumacher was conscious when he first fell and was able to communicate normally with others, but there was constant blood gushing from his head, and people at the scene urgently called for help, and a helicopter came to take him to the nearest hospital.
Corinne, who heard the news, was so frightened that she rushed to France, where Schumacher had been sent to the rescue room by the time she arrived at the hospital.
Over the next two days, doctors performed two craniotomys on him, but he had a lot of water in his brain, and the damage to the functional area of the brain was accompanied by skull fractures, and the current medical level could not ensure that he could recover as before.
On February 2, 2014, Schumacher's physical surface damage had almost completely recovered, and people gradually woke up, sometimes blinking and swallowing, but when the doctors examined him, they found that his brain nerve activity was almost zero.
On March 8, a large number of brain experts gathered at the hospital for a consultation on Schumacher's condition, and everyone thought that his hopes of recovery were extremely slim, and it was likely that he would remain in a vegetative state after that, and that continuing treatment would be futile.
At first, Corinne did not react to the news, but when Schumacher's lawyer proposed euthanasia, she suddenly shouted excitedly, "No, he will wake up!" As before, he will definitely recover! ”
As the first heir to Schumacher's estate, if her husband dies, she can get billions of assets and properly transform into a rich list of women, but in Corinne's heart, love is not a firework in the moment, but no matter whether it is rich or poor, health and illness.
In the end, Corinne made the difficult decision to cure her husband no matter what.
From this day on, she is no longer the woman behind the car king, but to be a female warrior who supports Schumacher and the whole family.
Car King recovers
In mid-March 2014, Corinne commissioned a manager to sell a 20,000-square-meter property in Switzerland for 5,870 euros, or about 450 million yuan.
Soon after, he sold the family's private jet, raised more than 25 million euros (equivalent to 200 million yuan), built a medically equipped suite for her husband, and hired a professional medical team to do rehabilitation training for her husband.
In June 2014, Corinne took her husband back to her home in Grand, Switzerland, to take care of her, and under high-end medical conditions, Schumacher spent up to 1 million yuan per week on treatment, spending more than 1.8 billion yuan from the beginning of 2014 to the end of 2018.
In order to treat Schumacher's illness, Corinne subsequently sold several other villas in the family, and also sold a number of luxury cars such as her husband's collection of Maserati Spyder, Mercedes-Benz, limited edition Ferrari Enzo, etc., of which Ferrari sold for 7.5 million yuan at auction.
Fortunately, her efforts have paid off, on December 18, 2018, the Daily Mail sent a message saying that Schumacher has awakened from 5 years of vegetative state, although there are still great difficulties in language communication, but the consciousness is clear, the physical condition has also been greatly improved, and even no longer need to rely on intubation to maintain life.
Seeing this report, countless people around the world cheered and rejoiced, both happy for the former car king and moved by their love.
Many fans have persuaded Corinne to give up on continuing to treat her husband, but she has never wavered, and she has always believed that as long as there is love, miracles will happen.
But even with the care of a professional medical team, Schumacher's body that had been sick for many years had atrophied, especially his height.
Originally Schumacher was 1.74 meters tall, which is already short among tall Europeans, but now it has dropped to 1.6 meters, and his once strong body has now become weak, weighing only 90 pounds, which shows how weak his body is.
On September 12, 2019, escorted by dozens of bodyguards, Corinne took Schumacher to the Pompidou Hospital in the south of Paris, home to the world's most advanced stem cell transplant technology.
Dr. Menasche, a pioneer in stem cell transplant therapy, helped Schumacher reduce inflammation in his body by injecting a special isolation mixture into Schumacher, thereby promoting the recovery of the severely damaged brain nervous system and making him more conscious.
However, Corinne's protection of her husband has always been very strict, not only refusing any media interviews, but even the hired medical staff and visiting friends are very strict, and people can only deduce the current situation of chewang from the details.
In October last year, the owner of the Ferrari company revealed at the award ceremony that Schumacher can now watch TV programs, but still cannot communicate normally.
It is said that "husband and wife are originally the same forest bird, the great disaster is about to fly separately", if it is the average person who has long given up treatment, but Corinne is not greedy and rich, even if the family is ruined, she has to treat her husband, she practices the true meaning of love with practical actions, and it is really precious in this era when everyone sings about love.
Today, Schumacher's son Mick has entered the Ferrari team, inherited his father's mantle and officially embarked on the track of F1, and his daughter has become a professional equestrian rider, fulfilled her mother's wish, and won the European youth championship, a pair of sons and daughters are successful in their own field, Schumacher's condition is also improving, I believe that in the future, their family's life will gradually enter a better state.
