How many weeks can you survive in the desert alone?
According to the editor's "twenty-year-old age, eighty-year-old body", it is estimated that he died of dehydration in three days.
However, an eight-year-old boy with lung disease survived tenaciously in the desert for three weeks and finally waited for rescue.
This is the story that the classic American film "Desert Boy" tells us.

The boy was sick, coughed incessantly, and was recuperating away from the city on the advice of a doctor.
My father was very busy at work, so he asked his brother to fly a plane to take him to his farm to recuperate.
The younger brother had an unfortunate heart attack during the flight, pulled the plane flat at the moment of a thousand gunshots, and successfully landed in the desert.
When the little boy saw his uncle, he was dead, and all that was left was himself and his pet dog, Lori.
At this time, the alarm clock prepared for him by his father rang, and it was time for him to take his medicine.
Alone in the desert, left alone and with nothing but a pet dog and a suitcase, the boy stood by the wreckage of the plane waiting for rescue.
Although contact was made with the rescue center, due to the lack of aircraft, the boy could not be searched for by aircraft positioning that day, and the rescue center made a decision to ask the boy to save the battery and wait for the next day's rescue.
The waiting time was difficult, and the little boy faced not only the fear of the night, but also the real threat.
The hyena hovered around him, waiting for the opportunity to fill the boy's stomach.
The boy dragged gasoline out of the plane and lit it with matches to scare off the hyena.
Unfortunately, gasoline-lit fireworks spread to the plane, setting the plane on fire and burning my uncle's body in the fire.
Rescue forces were unable to locate the boy by plane, and the boy's father fell into despair.

Finally, by the end of the day, the boy had begun to develop symptoms of dehydration.
At this time, the puppy Lori began to slash a bunker, and actually dug out the water source.
The puppy-inspired boy ran to the bunker and "drilled a well" with his own hands in this dry riverbed to drink the river water.
Danger is everywhere.
The boy who was drinking water did not notice the whereabouts of the hyena, and buried his head in the bunker, which seized the opportunity and jumped over.
The puppy Lori's bark awakened the boy, who ran desperately at the moment when the hyena was about to bite and managed to climb to a tree.
However, the puppy Lori broke up with the boy in this fright. Life or death do not know.
The boy went on his own, the hyenas traveled along, and with a strong survival instinct, he began to catch termites, steal bird eggs, and then bake them with gasoline and matches in his hand to maintain his physical strength.
In a corner of the desert, the boy meets Lori again.
A man and a dog erupted with the strongest joy in their hearts.
Since then, no matter how difficult the situation, the boy has never abandoned Lori again.

The man-dog encounter did not bring good luck to the boy.
When the boy went down to the cave to find water, loli waited on the top, and Lori watched her master's anxiety and accidentally touched a stone.
The stone happened to hit the boy's arm, leaving a deep blood stain.
The boy simply wrapped the wound in clothes, beat the water well, and tried to climb up the cave.
Wave after wave, wave after wave, a rattlesnake wrapped around Lori.
The boy hurried to help drive away, and in the process of chasing the snake, the snake venom splashed into the boy's eyes, and the eyes were instantly blind.
The boy who had lost both eyes was wandering around in the desert, stepping on a poisonous scorpion, and the scorpion stabbed the stinger into the boy's ankle, and under the severe pain, the boy fell to the ground.
The dead breath emanating from the boy attracted vultures and hyenas.
The vultures gathered in the sky were seen by the local indigenous fathers and sons, who rushed to drive away the hyenas and carried the boys back to the shack.
The aborigines not only healed the boy's legs, arms and eyes with medicine, but also shared food with him.
But when the boy woke up, believing that the food they had handed over was his pet dog Lori, he ran away screaming and threw a stone at the savior , a taboo in indigenous culture that led to the boy's considered ominous.
The natives were furious and burned the shack and left with their son.
During the escape, the boy meets his puppy Lori, who has already given birth to several cubs in the desert.
Realizing his mistake, the boy rushes to find the aboriginal father and son, but the aboriginal is no longer willing to accept him and beats him with a stone.
But the boy who saw the hope of survival did not want to lose this hope of survival, and followed the indigenous father and son closely, leaving a series of shallow footprints in the desert.
Eventually, the boy fainted in the middle of the desert.

Rescue is finally here!
The boy's father and friends arrived by car and rescued the boy who was dying.
Lori lay down beside the boy, but the cub she gave birth to had died of dehydration for too long.
At the end of the film, the boy's father holds the boy and the dog in the desert and shouts for a car, and the car's whistle sounds not far away.
This may be the film's final hint:
Each of us walks alone in our own desert, and we have nothing but hope.
