In 1971, three Peruvian lumberjacks walked into an abandoned wooden house and found a 17-year-old blonde in a shawl lying on the ground. Thinking of the plane crash that occurred not long ago, the three suspect that she is a survivor. When the girl woke up, the first thing she said was, "I'm sorry, Mom."
Julianne, 17, was born into an elite family in Germany. Her father was a well-known biologist and her mother was a doctor of ornithology. On December 24, 1971, Julian, who was in the midst of a rebellious year, had a whim and wanted to go to Peru with her father for Christmas. Despite her busy schedule, her mother was tolerant and immediately bought two tickets for the Peruvian national airline.
But when they called their father, he said it was too early and he was worried about their safety. Peru's national airline proved to have a bad reputation, with two major air crashes in three years. The probability of an air crash in the world is only one in 4.7 million, so you can see how far Peruvian National Airlines has come.
But when her mother asked her again, Julian insisted on going to her father. Her mother couldn't resist taking her on a plane to Peru. After takeoff, the plane had been flying smoothly, but when it reached the Andes, the situation suddenly changed. The windows were gradually covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and the storm became more and more fierce.
Julian could feel the plane bumping, even though the flight attendants had been reassuring them with radio. In fact, the plane encountered strong air currents, and the pilots forced their way through the plane in order to get there before Christmas. But he didn't know that the plane's wings were small and stiff, and it couldn't cope with extreme weather at all.
Julian looked anxiously out the window, and suddenly, with a loud noise, a bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket of lightning swept through the air, shattering the engine on the right wing of the plane. The plane without an engine jolted violently, the package fell from the overhead luggage compartment, and passengers screamed.
Julian's mother seemed to be expecting something, and she looked out the window at the debris of the plane that had been carried away by the turbulence. She hugged Julian and said desperately, "It's over." It's all going to end. Mother re-fastened Julian's seat belt, but there was no fear in her eyes, only love.
Just when the mother was about to speak, the plane could not withstand the impact of turbulence and disintegrated in an instant at an altitude of 3,000 meters. Julian hurriedly grabbed her mother's hand, but didn't. The air swept her away in an instant, and Julianne and her three-seat chair flew to the side. Julian was so frightened that she eventually lost consciousness during the fall.
When Julian opened her eyes again, she was greeted by tall trees, rotting damp dirt beneath her feet, and the distant and eerie cries of strange animals. Julian couldn't believe she was still alive, and when she saw the broken branches above her head, she realized how lucky she was. After calming down, she quickly examined her body and found her shin fractured, multiple injuries to her arms, and red and swollen eyes. But compared to immortality, this is nothing.
Julian looked around and knew that this was a rainforest full of poisonous snakes, crocodiles and other dangerous creatures, and to get out of the forest you had to have enough experience. Luckily, her father learned the art of survival in the wild early on. When everything was clear, Julian endured the pain to find her mother, but regretted not finding her. Instead, she found a bag of sweets that she could refuel later.
Julian soon spotted another stream, and she knew that if she followed it, she would find a inhabited place where there would be a lot of fresh water. Julian heard The Peruvian rescue plane hovering over her several times, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get the plane to notice her. She had no choice but to walk out of the jungle alone.
Because it was the rainy season and there was no fruit to eat in the rainforest, Julian had to eat candy and walked for six days. On several occasions, she was so hungry that she even tried to catch the wild frog that came to the river and eat it. Fortunately, reason overcame her, and she later learned that these "wild frogs" were highly poisonous dart frogs.
By the sixth day, Julian discovered that the creek was a tributary of a large river. Julian had to swim past piranhas and crocodiles to advance. The strong desire to survive made her overcome her inner fear and swim resolutely. Fortunately, the piranha and the crocodile didn't seem to see anyone and didn't attack her at first.
Julian continued to walk along the river for four days, still not a single person alive. The candy was gone, and her body was exhausted. Just then, Julian staggered to a corner and found a dilapidated wooden house. She hurried inside and found a can of gasoline. She didn't believe her father saying gasoline could clean the wound. Now she picked it up and poured it into the wound. Under her cleansing, as many as 35 maggots were captured and turned into the best source of protein.
When it was all done, Julian couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep on the floor with her head tilted. Then there's the opening. Lumberjacks rushed her to a hospital for treatment, and Peruvian authorities quickly announced that Julian was the only survivor of the accident. But in private, Julianne was sad to learn that her mother had not died immediately after the crash, but had struggled for days. Julian felt very guilty. If she tried a little harder, maybe her mother would still be alive...
When the dust settled, Julianne suffered from the loss of her mother, but her father encouraged her to get ahead and become a wildlife expert. Recalling the experience, Julianne often said, "As the sole survivor, I often feel guilty and guilty. But her father always went out of his way to tell her, "I've always been proud of you."
