Wang Shifen

Wang Shifen used to be a female worker in Beijing fireworks factory. On November 1, 1968, a fire broke out during the operation of the hydraulic press, resulting in 98% of the total body burn area, including 88% of the third degree burn area.

After the first hospital of Peking University, Wang Shifen gradually recovered. This case created a miracle in the history of burn treatment in the world. After Wang Shifen's story was published in people's daily, it has been widely concerned by people all over the country.

Burns

On November 1, 1968, Wang Shifen, a 17-year-old female worker in Beijing fireworks factory, and another young female worker were operating the hydraulic press. Sparks burst out from the friction of the parts. With a bang, the workshop was in flames. Wang Shifen's clothes, braids and shoes were all on fire. But then she thought that if the fire burned to the wires, it might cause more accidents and endanger the whole factory staff. She struggled to stand up and tried to turn on the switch. The high temperature of 700 degrees centigrade swept over, and she tumbled to the ground again The fire was finally put out. Workers saw a black figure, a rescue young man anxiously asked: "are you Xiao Wang?" "I am..." The voice is very weak. The young man tried to hold her up, but failed. It's not the slippage of clothes and body, but the separation of skin and flesh. People wrapped Wang Shifen in a cotton coat and rushed to the road at the gate of the factory to stop the car. Just as a brick truck came by, the truck sped more than 30 miles to the first hospital of Peking University.

Treatment situation

In the emergency room, Chen rufa, the doctor on duty, opened his cotton padded clothes and saw that the injured person's whole body had been burned into black and hard eschar, and it was difficult to find any good skin for temperature and blood pressure measurement. At this time, Wang Shifen had been in shock, and the total burn area was 98%, of which 88% was more than third degree burn area. seven days and seven nights later, the rescue entered the most tense and dangerous stage of eschar treatment. Once infection occurs under the eschar, the patient may die of sepsis at any time. In order to seize the time with bacteria, excision of eschar and skin grafting should be carried out continuously. Such a large operation was carried out seven times in a row. when the eschar was removed, all the muscles and fat were removed. After skin grafting, the new skin is translucent, similar to sausage casing, but covered with dense mung bean black spots. Her right arm has been amputated from her shoulder and her left arm from her elbow. Her eyes were sewn up on her face, leaving only a small hole the size of mung bean for her to see. My nose and ears are burned at that time, Wang Shifen's trachea had been cut. One day, the doctor found that the corner of her mouth touched her, and she was singing Li Yuhe's "I can't lock my ambition into the sky..." in the Peking Opera red light after skin grafting, the nurse had to spend an hour or two to change Wang Shifen's dressing every day. When changing the dressing, the gauze sticks to the newly planted skin. Every time you tear a piece down, there will be blood oozing. The anesthetic has been used too much, and then it will damage her liver and kidney. Wang Shifen said with a smile: "uncle, aunt, continue to change it." under the careful treatment of medical staff, Wang Shifen finally got rid of death. Even so, in the face of her gradual recovery, the medical staff still have two things on their mind. One is afraid that she will know that she has lost her arms. At that time, her arms were burned and amputated. The medical staff told her the story of how the hero studied hard and said in the tone of discussion: "you are good in other parts, but your arm is not ideal. If you go bad, it may affect your whole body..." That day, Wang Shifen changed his usual humor and called out: "uncle and aunt, cut it off! I can stand it. As long as we have brains, we can serve the people in the future as well! " Another worry is that she is afraid to look in the mirror. Before the accident, Wang Shifen had a beautiful face. If she saw what she looked like, she would be hit hard. As nurses all know, a burn patient in Tianjin showed his damaged face from a brown medicine bottle and jumped off a building to commit suicide the same day. But thousands of defenses didn't escape. One day, Wang Shifen came back from physical therapy and said to the doctor with a smile, "I've seen my face. It doesn't matter. It's just ugly. If it burns more and more beautiful, everyone wants to go to the fire for plastic surgery. " It turned out that she saw her face on the stainless steel tube of the physical therapy equipment.

social influence

The Xinhua News Agency broadcast a report on Wang Shifen on June 11, 1969, and the people's daily was published in the next journal. Premier Zhou immediately sent Bian Zhiqiang, a health care doctor, to the first hospital of Peking University to learn more about the news. On the afternoon of June 16, Premier Zhou convened Wu Jieping, Wu Weiran and Bian Zhiqiang to give important instructions: "I am very happy to read the news. It's a miracle! The reason why Wang Shifen survived was that she carried forward the spirit of "one is not afraid of hardship, two are not afraid of death", overcame the extreme pain and fought against the pain tenaciously! The last leg of a journey marks the halfway point. Don't think that the danger is over. We should solve the problems that have not been solved in medicine. " Premier Zhou is also very concerned about the problems that may arise in the treatment. Such as Wang Shifen after skin grafting, the whole body is scar, how does summer perspire do? How to protect her gums and gums? Can artificial ears be installed in the future?

Recovery status

Although she has lost her hands and beautiful appearance, for 40 years, Wang Shifen has been living with self-respect and self love in a self-improvement and optimistic attitude towards life, and has been touching everyone around her with this spirit. In June 2005, with the help of Street staff, Wang Shifen opened a "heart talk hotline" at home, listening to many people's complaints every day. "Everyone who opens up to me is my friend," she said. I want to use my experience to help those who are physically and mentally exhausted. " On May 18, 2008, she donated 2500 yuan to the Wenchuan earthquake stricken area through gulouyuan community of Jiaodaokou street. She said that as a disabled person who has been helped by all sectors of the society, this is a kind of return to the society. Baidu Encyclopedia content is shared by netizens.
