A happy life as a child
Liu Zhongwen was born in an ordinary peasant family in Yongzhou, Hunan Province, where both parents worked in the fields. When he was a child, Liu Zhongwen was as cheerful and lively as other children, often going to the open space in the village to play with his friends, playing hide and seek and kicking shuttlecock were their specialties.
Liu Zhongwen is very nimble with his hands and feet, and often climbs the old trees in the village to take out bird eggs to share with friends. After school, he would also go to the river to fish and catch shrimp, and he could often catch several fish.
Xiao Liu Zhongwen's day is spent in games and laughter, worry-free food and clothing, and every day is full and happy. His childhood was as free and happy as a river in the village. No one thought that this kind of carefree life would come to an abrupt halt when Liu Zhongwen was a teenager due to a strange symptom.
The appearance of strange white bumps on the hands
That year, Liu Zhongwen was already a teenager. One day, he suddenly noticed that several small white bumps appeared on his hands, which were very strangely shaped. Liu Zhongwen was taken aback, and hurriedly ran home to show his parents.
After the parents checked it, they thought it was just an ordinary fish mole, and asked Liu Zhongwen not to worry, it would disappear in a few days.
Although Liu Zhongwen is still worried, he also trusts his parents' judgment. Not only did it not subside after a week, but the white bumps were still increasing rapidly, spreading from the hands to the arms. Liu Zhongwen saw them slowly hardening and blackening, and he was very scared and asked his parents for help again.
Only then did his parents realize the seriousness of the problem and took Liu Zhongwen to see a local village doctor. The village doctor gave him some ointment, but Liu Zhongwen applied it for many days to no avail. Finally, at the doctor's suggestion, Liu Zhongwen performed a laser to remove the pimples on his hands, and the process was painful.
However, after the operation, those terrible white bumps soon resurfaced and grew and spread more unscrupulously.
Liu Zhongwen and his parents were extremely desperate, they tried various home remedies, but Liu Zhongwen's symptoms were uncontrollable. At this time, this "strange disease" began to spread in the village, and everyone avoided it. Liu Zhongwen's life has since plummeted.
The years of fear known as the "Tree Man".
Those black bumps continued to expand outward, and Liu Zhongwen's hands and feet were completely deformed and extremely rough. When the old people in the village saw this scene, they all said that Liu Zhongwen often climbed an ancient tree when he was a child, and this was the aura of that tree punishing him.
Liu Zhongwen was afraid and superstitious, so he could only ask for forgiveness from the so-called "10,000-year-old tree". He came to the tree crying and kneeling, praying to the "tree god" to undo the curse, but to no avail. Day after day, Liu Zhongwen watched his limbs become more and more deformed, growing bigger and bigger, lying in bed all day long, and even relying on his parents to take care of him for food and clothing, like a baby.
When the villagers saw that he was covered with pimples and looked strange and terrifying, they all avoided him and called him "Tree Man". Liu Zhongwen was forced to stay in the dilapidated room all day, looking at his hands and feet crawling with cracks and lumps, and tears could not stop flowing.
He knew that his illness was out of control, that he was destined to die, and that his heart was desperate and terrified.
If it weren't for the care of his parents, Liu Zhongwen would have collapsed long ago. They patiently fed him, washed his body, and relieved his pain. The son suffered, and the parents were tormented.
The family supported each other through one helpless and desperate day after another.
Diagnosis and treatment of the disease
This inhuman treatment lasted for several years, and Liu Zhongwen had no love for life. It was then that a reporter who came to interview him stumbled upon what had happened to him. The reporter took the initiative to contact the big hospital in the city center, which finally brought hope to Liu Zhongwen.
In a major hospital, a senior dermatologist confirmed that Liu Zhongwen's "branch" was not the so-called "tree god punishment", but a wart caused by a birth defect of the immune system. Symptoms can be controlled if treated early.
However, Liu Zhongwen has been mistaken for many years, which has led to his uncontrollable illness.
After several surgeries to remove the overgrown warts, Liu Zhongwen was finally able to take care of himself a little bit. But as long as the immune system is not strengthened, new warts will soon grow again. With the help of foreign experts, the growth rate of warts can be controlled, but it is impossible to cure them radically.
Liu Zhongwen's heart was like ashes, but he could only accept this fact.
Every infusion, every operation, is a struggle for life. In the severe pain, Liu Zhongwen gritted his teeth, and he was determined to fight the disease to the end. As soon as he thought of his family, he insisted on living.
The doctor has become Liu Zhongwen's only spiritual sustenance, and every time he treats Liu Zhongwen, he is full of hope.
Current Situation and Reflections
Today, Liu Zhongwen is in his early 30s and still relies on regular treatment to stay alive. Those intertwined "branches" often recurred, and Liu Zhongwen's condition was good and bad, but overall under control.
He can now take care of his own life, but his movements are still restricted. The faces of the parents at home were already covered with wrinkles, and Liu Zhongwen saw it in his eyes, and his guilt and self-blame were full of heart. If I hadn't believed in superstition and mistakenly believed in the "tree god" statement, maybe the disease would have been under control a long time ago.
Whenever he thinks of the past when he was young and frivolous, he climbed a tree and angered the "tree god", Liu Zhongwen regretted it. If I had gone to the hospital for examination and treatment earlier, I might not have deteriorated to what I am now. Life is so precious, he should not waste it because of superstition and ignorance.
This incident warns Liu Zhongwen and reminds everyone that in the face of disease, we must attach importance to science and not be superstitious. To be actively treated, not ostrich mentality.
Now Liu Zhongwen understands the value of cherishing life. Every infusion, every operation, is telling him that life deserves to be treated well. As long as you don't give up and there is hope in your heart, you will definitely be able to overcome the disease.
Liu Zhongwen is determined to let more people understand these truths through his own experience. Fighting the disease is hard, but giving up is the real failure. Although there will be intermittent recurrences, Liu Zhongwen firmly believes that he will get better.
He looked forward to that day, and he wanted to see the world.
Liu Zhongwen's life experience is moving. A lively and cheerful teenager suffered misfortune in the spring of life, was tightly entangled by an illness, and fell into the abyss of despair. He was lost, but he finally found himself in the light.
This story of joys and sorrows reminds us that we should not be superstitious in the face of illness, and we must insist on scientific treatment. At the same time, it also shows us that the power of life is enormous. If you choose to fight instead of give up, there is still hope.
His appearance is different from ordinary people, and Liu Zhongwen is destined to experience more hardships. But instead of giving up on himself, he actively treated, and this spirit is awe-inspiring. His courage and perseverance are worth learning from everyone.
I sincerely wish Liu Zhongwen a speedy recovery and return to a healthy life. I wish him peace and tranquility after the ups and downs of life. I believe that he will be grateful for every healthy and beautiful moment in his life and live the true meaning of life.
This is also the most precious spiritual wealth left to us by this story.
