At a hospital in Harbin, a 57-year-old patient underwent a heart transplant that was extremely demanding.
Unexpectedly, after the operation, the patient's personality changed from taciturn to very irritable, and his body seemed to have become younger overnight, and he had endless strength to do things every day, not like an elderly man who was almost 60 years old at all.
Moreover, after the operation, the patient often dreamed of a young man being chased and killed, which makes people wonder if the changes in this patient are related to the young man who provided the heart?
Yang Mengyong undergoes a background in heart surgery
In January 2000, 57-year-old Yang Mengyong underwent a heart transplant operation at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University.
At that time, it was generally believed that the age of the person who transplanted the heart was better under the age of 55, so the difficulty of this operation can be imagined, but the hospital finally agreed to the operation at the insistence of 57-year-old Yang Mengyong.
As for why Yang Mengyong had a heart transplant, this matter has to start from Yang Mengyong when he was young.
In 1943, Yang Mengyong was born in an ordinary family in Shandong. He spent his childhood in the midst of war, and was forced to live with his uncle when his father died and his mother remarried.
This experience profoundly affected the formation of his personality, which made him gradually show introverted and forbearant personality traits in the environment in which he grew up.
When he became an adult, he married Li Guangping. It's just that because the two parties have known each other for too little time and don't know each other very clearly, the daily life of Yang Mengyong and Li Guangping after marriage is full of challenges.

Yang Mengyong is introverted and forbearing, while Li Guangping is straightforward and sometimes emotional, and due to the huge difference in their personalities, their lives are full of quarrels and dissatisfaction.
Although the run-in brought about by marriage gradually reduced the conflict between the two, Yang Mengyong's personality made it difficult for him to communicate and solve problems effectively, resulting in a long-term tension between the husband and wife.
After frequent quarrels for a long time, Yang Guangping had problems with his thyroid gland, and Yang Mengyong's physical condition became worse and worse.
It turned out that Yang Mengyong was found to have a heart attack when he was 37 years old, and it was best to avoid being emotional in this situation.
However, because Yang Guangping became more irritable after being diagnosed with thyroid disease, there were more quarrels and contradictions between their husband and wife, and Yang Mengyong sulked more and more.

Until one day, Yang Mengyong's body suddenly became weak, almost fainted, and was finally diagnosed with severe myocardial expansion and severe heart failure, and needed to be replaced immediately.
This couldn't help but make Yang Mengyong difficult, "People only have one heart, who is willing to exchange the heart for me?" ”
Yang Mengyong's temperament suddenly changed dramatically after surgery
Yang Mengyong's condition has reached the point of extreme seriousness, and his heart is three times the size of a normal heart, and now he can only rely on cardiotonics every day to barely maintain his life.
Before deciding to undergo a heart transplant, Yang Mengyong's heart was full of contradictions and fears. On the one hand, he longs to be reborn through surgery and change his previous life of suffering from illness.
On the other hand, although there were doctors in China who had done several heart transplants at that time, after all, their experience was limited, so he was afraid of the risks and uncertainties of the operation.
Despite this, Yang mustered up the courage to sign the consent form for the surgery, giving him a glimmer of hope for his future.
Therefore, there is an urgent need for a matching heart to complete the surgery. Until one day, the hospital happened to find the heart of a 26-year-old brain-dead young man and operated on him.
The operation lasted more than 6 hours, and the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University, which operated on him at that time, not only dispatched all the cardiac surgeons in the hospital at that time, but also specially transferred more than 100 medical staff to help for this operation.
Finally, the heart transplant was successfully completed. After the operation, Yang Mengyong recovered quickly and was soon discharged from the hospital, but Li Guangping found that Yang Mengyong had become completely different from before.

Yang Mengyong, who was originally weak and did not like to move, felt full of energy all day after returning home from the hospital, and began to love running and playing basketball, which he did not like to play before, and his neighbors were also shocked by his change.
In addition, his dietary tastes have changed, and he has begun to prefer snacks. Even Li Guangping was surprised by this, "I often see him go downstairs to the store to buy spicy noodles, which he used to eat, and children were not allowed to eat them before." ”
Even, Yang Mengyong himself said, "My introverted personality has become an extrovert, and I have become an offensive person, and now I just want to find fault and fight, which is very impulsive!" When my wife mixed me with water, it was a little too much water, and I kicked the basin over. ”
In addition to the drastic change in temperament, Yang Mengyong also began to pay attention to dressing up, he felt that he would spend a lot of time looking in the mirror every day, combing his hair, and dressing fashionably and younger.
In contrast, Li Guangping's hair is getting grayer and grayer, while Yang Mengyong's hair is getting darker and darker, and the age difference between the two looks like is 10 years old, so Yang Mengyong actually began to dislike her and wanted a divorce.

Although these changes were unexpected, they were still reasonable, but there was one thing after the operation that puzzled him the most.
This incident is that Yang Mengyong always dreamed that a young man was nervously hiding behind a gasoline barrel, and suddenly someone was holding a row of long knives to slash and kill Russia, and this incident has always troubled him.
Thinking of the remarkable changes in his body and personality after the operation, Yang Mengyong thought to himself, "Is it because I accepted the heart of that 26-year-old young man, so I carried his memory with me?" ”
Experts analyzed the reasons for the great change in Yang Mengyong's temperament
In fact, there are many examples of obvious changes in personality after heart transplantation like Yang Mengyong at home and abroad. For example:
In 2015, Jem Clark, a truck driver who was less than 40 years old, received a heart transplant because of a heart condition. Unexpectedly, after the operation, he suddenly became sentimental from a rough personality, and even wrote poetry.
In March 2017, 17-year-old Xiao Xiang shared his changes after receiving "heart exchange surgery" at the first patient meeting held by the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine.
He said that he never dared to run and jump before the operation, but after the operation, he felt that his body had become much lighter, and his personality had changed from irritable to well-behaved, and he even became a top student in school.

Since there are many examples of personality changes after changing hearts, can it be explained that Yang Mengyong's change is related to the young guy's heart? In this regard, the expert explained.
Experts believe that Yang Mengyong's frequent dreams of young men may be related to the fact that he knows that it is a young man who provides him with his heart.
He knew that the heart came from a young man and may have unconsciously influenced the content of his dreams, causing him to experience situations related to young donors in his dreams.
This phenomenon can be explained as the effect of psychological suggestion, that is, Yang Mengyong has some kind of psychological association because he knows the young identity of the donor.
Neurologists and psychologists believe that Yang's increased physical vitality is mainly due to a significant increase in heart function.
The new heart is functioning well, improving the blood supply to his whole body and brain, making his nerves excited, which causes his personality to become as irritable as that of a young man, and at the same time directly enhances his physical vitality and athletic ability.

In addition, the improved blood circulation may also promote the oxygen supply to the brain and the nutritional status, which makes him feel more energetic.
In addition, psychologists have experimentally verified Yang Mengyong's susceptibility to psychological suggestion. In the experiment, even in a static and inactive state, Yang Mengyong felt his body shaking just by verbal cues.
This suggests that he is unusually sensitive to psychological suggestion, and this high degree of suggestiveness may explain why he unconsciously imitates, feels, or dreams about the life traits of the young man who provides him with the heart.
epilogue
57-year-old Yang Mengyong, because he suffered from severe heart dilation, changed the heart of a 26-year-old young man. I didn't expect my personality to change dramatically after surgery.
In fact, the reasons for these great changes are related to Yang Mengyong's acceptance of the blood supply from the young heart, and its susceptibility to external cues.
Yang Mengyong, who is now in his 80s, has successfully lived for more than 20 years after surgery, breaking the previous record of only 5 to 10 years for heart transplants in China, proving the superb medical skills of heart transplants in mainland China.
I hope that in the days to come, Yang Mengyong's life and body can continue to be harmonious and healthy, and continue to enjoy a beautiful old age with this young heart.
