Liu Zhongwen in Hunan has been ill for many yearsFingers are covered with branches, unable to take care of themselves, being ridiculed and ostracized by the villagers all day long.
In order to cure his illness, his parents sold all the valuable items in the sale, but they never thought that the reason for Liu Zhongwen's "tree man" was actually an incident that happened when his son was a teenagerSo how exactly did he become a "tree man"?What is life like now?
One day in 2016, a group of Jiangxi TV reporters drove to the deep mountains and forests of Yongzhou, Hunan Province, and after several hours of bumpy driving, the group came to the remote village of Paishantang, hoping to find a legendary "tree man".
Under the guidance of the villagers, the reporters found Liu Zhongwen's home, a dilapidated two-story red brick house, even the ground was adobe, and a middle-aged man with a haggard face lying at the door, his hands behind his back, looking lonely.
The reporters took a closer look and were even more surprisedI saw Liu Zhongwen's hands and feet densely wrapped around protrusions like tree branches, rough and twisted, as if it has become one with the limbs.
Liu Zhongwen explained that these "branches" do not hurt, but they are very heavy, and he usually has to put his arms on the top of his head, otherwise it is difficult to maintain balance, and what is even more terrifying is that these "branches" have seriously affected his daily life, and he has to rely on his parents for food and clothing.
The program team judged that this might be a peculiar ** disease, and suggested that Liu Zhongwen go to the best hospital in the county for a comprehensive examination, and strive to find **, Liu Zhongwen was already desperate for himself, but he still agreed to seek medical treatment at the instigation of the program team.
So, under the arrangement of the program team,Liu Zhongwen came to the county's third-class hospital, he was examined by the best experts in the hospital, hoping to find an antidote for this "tree man" and let him regain his vitality.
The results of the examination were shocking, it turned out that this was not a ** disease, but a relatively rare genetic mutation!The doctor explains that this mutation causes abnormal growth of subcutaneous tissueAppears as a dendritic protrusionHowever, symptoms can be controlled with surgery and medications to prevent further deterioration.
There was unusual news in the village that a young man named Liu Zhongwen had grown something like a tree branch on his arms, which caused panic among the villagers to avoid it for fear that it was some kind of curse.
Liu Zhongwen is an ordinary teenager, with a lively personality, often carving words on the tree and playing, no one thought that he would suffer this change, at first the villagers kept their distance, and then gradually lost their mindsWhen he saw Liu Zhongwen, he insulted and drove him away, and even threw stones to hurt people, Liu Zhongwen's family was helpless and could only endure silently.
Over time, the villagers made up all kinds of rumors, saying that Liu Zhongyi had offended the tree god, which was retribution, but Liu Zhongwen's parents did not think so, and they sought medical treatment everywhere, but none of them worked, and the cult members in the village took the opportunity to deceive and consume the family's savings.
Liu Zhongwen's condition is getting worse and worseBranches are constantly growing on the arms and other parts of the body, which seriously affected his life, he couldn't even eat by himself, and needed his parents to wipe and feed.
He also had to rely on others for daily tasks such as going to the toilet and bathing, and the heavy illness and bullying of the villagers made him depressed, and Liu Zhongwen hid at home all day long.
The two old men were overwhelmed, but they could only survive like this, taking care of their son who couldn't take care of himself, while enduring the abuse of the villagers, and the other children in the village were estranged from Liu Zhongwen, and the family was in a desperate situation for a whileMany even went directly to Liu Zhongyi's house, ordering the whole family to get out of the village at once and not pollute the place again.
Later, Liu Zhongwen's parents also began to waver, believing in those nonsense, they took their son everywhere to pray to God and Buddha, praying for forgiveness, but to nothing, the old couple was deeply shocked, completely gave up**, let the branches grow denser and denser on Liu Zhongwen's body, and completely lost the ability to take care of themselves.
In 2016, during the interview, a reporter from Jiangxi Satellite TV accidentally learned that villager Liu Zhongwen was suffering from a very rare strange disease, and Liu Zhongwen's hands were covered with growths like tree branches, which often emitted a foul smell.
This symptom first appeared one night 20 years agoLiu Zhongwen, who was still a child at the time, suddenly had a high fever that did not go awayIt does not return to normal until 5 days later, after which the hyperplastic tissue begins to grow.
When the reporter interviewed Liu Zhongwen's family, he learned that there was no obvious wound on Liu Zhongwen's body on the night of the onset, and the family did not know**, after the high fever subsided, white nodules gradually appeared on Liu Zhongwen's hands, and the family did not care at first, thinking that it would get better on its own.
The journalist realized that this may not be some kind of "curse".Rather, it is a disease that has not yet been identifiedTo this end, the reporter contacted a ** disease specialized hospital in Hunan Province, hoping to find out the real **.
In the hospital, Professor Wu, a senior first-class specialist, conducted a comprehensive examination and pathological analysis for Liu Zhongwen, and found that Liu Zhongwen had a pathogen called human papillovirus widely present in his body, which deeply invaded his **, bones and multiple organs, making the condition particularly serious.
Professor Wu said that this virus is not brought by the human body, but must come from the outside, so he asked Liu Zhongwen in detail about his growth experienceOnly then did I find that more than 20 years ago, when Liu Zhongwen and his friends were fishing in the river, they were scratched by the bones of a fish, followed by a sudden fever that does not go away, which is most likely the source of the viral infection.
Professor Wu further pointed out that this type of virus has a long incubation period, mild symptoms in the early stage of infection, and is not easy to detect, and it is still possible to control and clear the virus infection once the lesion is detected and medical attention is sought in time.
However, due to the limitation of cognitive level, Liu Zhongwen's condition was seriously misdiagnosed, and he has been in a laissez-faire state for a long time, which has reached the advanced stage, which makes it extremely difficult, and the examination results also show thatChronic lack of medical treatment and inability to perform physical labor, Liu Zhongwen's body is already very weak.
In the end, Professor Wu formulated a conservative** plan for Liu Zhongwen, first removing part of the hypertrophic tissue through surgery to relieve symptoms, and then applying antiviral drugs to the systemic system** to curb the continued spread of infection.
After being discharged from the hospital, Liu Zhongwen returned home to continue to recuperate, and the reporter of Jiangxi Satellite TV paid a return visit to him after 5 yearsThe condition is under control but still in the bodyI am still having regular follow-up appointments and hope to continue to receive help from my doctor.
From this incident, we can see that the misdiagnosis and mistreatment of the disease will bring unimaginable consequences, when the symptoms first appear, timely diagnosis and positive ** is very critical, which requires the joint efforts of both doctors and patients, at the same time, we should also abandon superstition, with a rational attitude towards unknown or difficult diseases.
More than 20 years ago, there was a "tree man" Liu Zhongwen in Yongzhou City, Hunan, he suffered from a rare disease, his body was covered with dense "branches", at that time there were rumors in the village that this was a demon harming people, Liu Zhongwen was convinced, and went around to pray to God to worship Buddha to cure the disease, and missed the best opportunity.
After many years, the reporter interviewed 50-year-old Liu Zhongwen again, and what he saw was still a dilapidated home, empty inside, without a single decent piece of furnitureLiu Zhongwen's parents, Liu Yongxiang and Duan Yulan, are in their 70s, his face was full of gloom and helplessness, Liu Yongxiang said that after his son got sick, they sold all the things in the family and could not be cured, and now the family is surrounded by walls, and even the most basic life is very difficult.
Many years ago, ** suggested that Liu Zhongwen go to the hospital**, but Liu Zhongwen's family was extremely distrustful of the hospital and worried that they would not be able to cure it even if they spent money. After repeated persuasion by doctors, he reluctantly sought medical treatmentDoctors diagnosed it as a wart-like proliferation caused by the HPV virus, could have been **, but because the diagnosis was delayed for too long, he could only try his best to inhibit the growth, and now Liu Zhongwen can only rely on drugs to barely maintain it, unable to **.
The 50-year-old Liu Zhongwen is completely unable to take care of himself, even needs crutches to walk, his unusually luxuriant "branches" have seriously affected his bones, which is an irreversible painful cost, and his nails, which have not been trimmed for many years, have been deformed and warped, and it is difficult to even eat normally. For this reason, her mother, Duan Yulan, needs to be fed with chopped food every day.
Watching his mother work for himself, Liu Zhongwen felt very self-blaming and painful in his heart, he knew that the disease had changed the life of the whole family, and his childhood dream had come to naughtHe can no longer work and live like a normal person, can only burden his parents, but fortunately, his parents have never disliked his unfortunate son.
What's even more poignant,Liu's parents were worried about what would happen to their son when they diedAfter all, Liu Zhongwen is fifty years old, but his body is like a waste, and the people in the village regard him as different, and this family will face unimaginable difficulties.
The wrong decision made many years ago cannot be remedied, and the life of Shuren Liu Zhongwen is still full of despair and misery, and the only consolation is that his mother Duan Yulan is still taking care of himNever gave up on this unfortunate son
But after all, his parents are old, and one day they will leave the world, and Liu Zhongwen, a tree man, lives alone, I am afraid that it will be difficult, but I hope he can live this life independently and strongly.
