Zhu Ling was born in 1973 and is a 1992 chemistry student at Tsinghua University. After a brain tumor was diagnosed in April this year, it was announced that "there may not be more than 10 months", and the family decided not to do harmful treatment. On November 18, Zhu Ling suffered a brain tumor attack, with high cranial pressure, dilated pupils, a high fever of 39 degrees, and fell into a severe coma. On November 24, Zhu Ling survived his 50th birthday. He passed away in Beijing on December 22, 2023.
Zhu Ling, a girl who was once full of energy and talent, changed her life because of a bizarre thallium poisoning incident. This incident has aroused widespread concern and discussion in the society, but the truth has never been revealed.
In December 1994, while studying at Tsinghua University, Zhu Ling suddenly experienced a series of strange symptoms, including abdominal pain, leg pain, hair loss, etc. After many medical treatments, the condition not only did not improve, but became more and more serious. Finally, on the alert of a doctor, she was diagnosed with thallium poisoning.
Thallium is a highly toxic heavy metal element with the chemical symbol Tl, which is located in the 6th period III.A group in the periodic table. Its elemental substance is a silvery-white soft metal, soluble in nitric acid and insoluble in water.
There are many compounds of thallium, the most common of which are oxides, halides, and sulfides. Thallium and its compounds have a wide range of applications in industrial, medical, electronic and other fields. The dose of thallium poison in Zhu Lingzhong was extremely high, far beyond the ordinary poisoning range, which made people suspect that this was a deliberate poisoning incident.
But it's not that simple. After Zhu Ling was diagnosed with thallium poisoning, the police immediately launched an investigation. After some twists and turns, they finally found a possible antidote - Prussian blue. After a period of treatment, the thallium content in Zhu Ling's body finally dropped to zero, and her fate was saved.
The nightmare doesn't end there. Due to the poisoning for too long, Zhu Ling's body has been irreversibly damaged.
This incident has aroused widespread concern and discussion in society, and the inquiry into the truth of this case has never stopped. Some speculate that Zhu Ling's classmates were poisoned out of jealousy, while others suspect that an accident in the laboratory caused her poisoning. However, due to the limited technical conditions at that time, the police were never able to find conclusive evidence, and the case eventually became an unsolved case.
In 2013, a poisoning case occurred at Fudan University, which rekindled attention to the Zhu Ling case. At that time, Knews reporters went to Beijing to interview Zhu Ling's family and asked the truth about the incident. However, despite years of investigation and efforts, the truth has not yet surfaced.
Now Zhu Ling has left this world, but what happened to her is thought-provoking. This incident not only reveals the ugliness of human nature, but also shows us the potential risks brought about by the development of technology. We should learn from this incident and strengthen the management of laboratory safety, but also pay attention to the people around us to prevent similar tragedies from happening again.
Zhu Ling's story is a heart-wrenching tragedy. We hope that in the days to come, such tragedies will never happen again, and everyone will be able to grow and develop in a safe and healthy environment. If you think this article is not bad, please like it and pay attention to it!
