Chapter 2285: The First Person

"Pursuing the truth of science, offering sacrifices with remains, benefiting people and the world, and realizing the prophets first, great! President Bai is the first person in our medical field!" Tang Erhe praised immediately.

The reporters also raised their hands and asked, "Principal Bai, is what you said true? Are you really planning to donate your body? Can these also be published in newspapers?"

"I even specially invited a lawyer this time." Shen Long called a well-known lawyer in the capital and asked him to take out the contract he had already drafted, and signed his name on the contract. To myself, and the other handed over to Tang Erhe, "This contract will be kept in the archives of the National Capital Medical College, after my death, the school will take this contract to retrieve my body. "

"Principal Bai, if you do this, where will you put your own child? Even the father's body cannot be preserved. This is a great disrespect!" Of course, no one objected, a doctor with braids asked loudly .

"This is my idea, but it has nothing to do with them! If a mere body can improve the medical skills of more students and treat more patients, this is a matter of infinite merit. It's much better to rot!" Don't worry about that, right? When I want to hang up, I will definitely be able to mix to the level where I have to be cremated, so I don't have to worry about this.

"Director Liu, is President Bai's behavior in compliance with the law? What does the Republic of China government think of President Bai's behavior?" The reporters turned to ask the government officials present.

"Uh, this... this!" Director Liu suddenly felt dizzy, why are you asking me such a difficult question? Is this something I can express casually? He had no choice but to deal with it with words.

The teachers present were still hesitant. After all, preserving corpses for burial has been a tradition in China for thousands of years. Although some people are tempted, it is difficult to make up their minds right away, but the students are different. They are in their teens and early twenties. At an impulsive age, I was immediately excited when I heard Shen Long say this.

Someone immediately stood up and expressed support, "Principal, I am also willing to donate my body to the school! Mr. Lawyer, can you help me draft a contract, and I will sign it immediately!"

"Count me in as well! Help me draft another contract!" There were not one or two people who responded, the lawyer looked at Shen Long with a embarrassed look, and he was already under a lot of pressure to help Shen Long draft this contract. Well, Shen Long is better. After all, he is an adult who can be his own master. If these students sign up, what will happen if their parents call at the door in the future?

Shen Long raised his hand to calm them down temporarily, and then said, "I already know the devotion of the students, but donating the body is a big matter, so don't make a hasty decision! Besides, you are still young, There are at least 30 to 50 years before the body needs to be donated, so why be in such a hurry?"

Why,

Under normal circumstances, their life path is indeed very long, but the current situation is turbulent, and countless disasters will befall the Chinese nation in the future. How many of these students present will die?

The students were temporarily appeased by Shen Long, and the guests who were present also left one after another. The reporters were busy going back to release news, the officials went back to discuss how to deal with today's affairs, and the doctors also had to go back to digest today's harvest. There is no intention of keeping them for dinner.

One is that it costs a lot of money to invite so many people to dinner, so it is better to leave the money in a more useful place; second, Shen Long reckons that they may not have much appetite for food after just seeing the autopsy. So I didn't mention it.

The next day, major newspapers such as "Ta Kung Pao" reported the public anatomy class, and described Shen Long's announcement of donating his body in a thick and heavy pen. They published the photos of the contract on the newspaper.

Therefore, Shen Long became the first person in China to donate his own body, 20 years earlier than the original history. In the original history, the first person in modern China to make a will and volunteer for pathological autopsy was Yu Ziwei.

Yu Ziwei was a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine in his early years. Later, "every time he felt that the old medical theory was fragmented and lacked scientific basis, he decided to learn new medicine", so he went to Dongying to study abroad, studied medicine at Tokyo Cihui Medical College, and met Sun Yat-sen, Xu Xilin, etc. Revolutionaries, determined to change China's poor and weak.

After returning to China, Yu Ziwei successively founded Jiangxi Military Medical School and Yongjia Children's Health College, unswervingly promoting medical education.

In May 1932, Yu Ziwei’s long-term stomach trouble had a major attack again, and he began to consider arrangements for the funeral. He discussed with his relatives and friends to make a will in advance, and told his child Yu Jimin, “After my death, a pathological autopsy must be performed to fulfill my will. , remember it!" Even when he was dying, he still obsessed with performing an autopsy and making a will.

This will can be said to be the first voluntary pathological anatomy consent in modern China, which is of great significance to the development of Chinese medicine; Yu Ziwei passed away in the early morning of February 24, 1933, and his body was in Danan, Wenzhou in the afternoon The hospital conducted an autopsy, made pathological specimens of liver and stomach disease, and donated them to Zhejiang Provincial Medical College for academic research.

This incident has aroused great repercussions in the medical field and society. Yu Yunxiu praised Yu Ziwei as "the number one person in my medical field". In the following year, the Third Congress of the All-China Physicians Federation passed the "Requesting the Plenary Session to Commend Mr. Yu Ziwei to Reward the Pathological Anatomy Case", and decided to use the day of Yu's body autopsy as the anniversary of the Pathological Anatomy Association, and made the "Medical Transactions" 1935 The fourth issue of the year was named "Mr. Yu Ziwei Commemorative Special Issue" to commemorate.

Yan Fuqing wrote the inscription "Lead by example" for the special issue, and Jin Mingyu, a famous doctor, wrote the inscription "Seeking the truth of science, using the body as a sacrifice, benefiting people and the world, and realizing the prophets. Great! Mr. spirit is immortal." They all respect Yu's dedication.

Inspired by Yu Ziwei's voluntary spirit, people in the medical field followed suit from time to time. When he was dying, Jin Shouqin, a military medical officer of the Nationalist Government, asked to dissect the body and use the bones as specimens... to send the body to Zhejiang Provincial Medical College for dissection; Ye Gu, a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine Three days before Hong's death, he had written a will in hand and asked two friends to prove that he donated it to the Central Hospital for dissection as a sacrifice for global academics. On the second day of his death, Dr. Kang Xirong, the chief laboratory examiner of the Central Hospital, performed the autopsy at the hospital...

Later, Wang Qisun, Gu Jingqian and others donated their bodies for anatomical research. However, due to traditional reasons, even in later generations, there are not many people who are willing to donate their bodies. If there are more people, then his hard work was not in vain this time.
