When this term is mentioned, many young people may think of the magical heroes in Marvel movies. But in real life, such a tree person is avoided by people nearby.

In Paishantang Village, Yongzhou, Hunan, There is a famous man living here, he is Liu Zhongwen, a tree man.

What is a tree man? When this term is mentioned, many young people may think of the magical heroes in Marvel movies. But in real life, such a tree person is avoided by people nearby.

Liu Zhongwen is over forty years old. For more than twenty years, he has suffered day and night. Whenever they appeared, the villagers immediately avoided it, and no one was willing to pay more attention to him. Over time, a kind of rumor became popular: Liu Zhongwen offended the sacred tree and he was cursed by the sacred tree.

So is this the truth? How is Liu Zhongwen's life now?

looking for tree people, and the condition is bizarre

In 2016, an interview car drove into the mountains of Yongzhou, Hunan. After 3 or 4 hours, they arrived at the remote Paishantang Village.

This group of people is a reporter from Jiangxi TV . After hearing about the "treating people", they came to find Liu Zhongwen. After some inquiry, the villagers shook their heads and said, "You should not go, it would be bad if you get into unknown things."

has such a statement, and the reporters were confused. Could it be that something strange is really? But a strong sense of curiosity also emerged in my heart. Looking for a small hill, the reporters found Liu Zhongwen's home.

What caught my eye was a two-story red brick house, even the floor was still adobe, and the scene seemed particularly dilapidated. At the door, a middle-aged man was lying on a broken wooden chair, with his hands behind his back, looking lonely.

When he really walked in, Liu Zhongwen's situation scared the reporter. But out of politeness, the reporter still started asking. "Are you Liu Zhongwen?" The other party looked up and said, perhaps he hadn't seen a stranger for a long time, so he dodged his eyes vigilantly.

Then, an old man walked out of the room. He had white hair and enthusiastically greeted the reporter. After learning about the purpose of the reporter, Mr. Liu seemed to have found a savior, and he quickly asked his son to show his illness.

Liu Zhongwen slowly raised his hands and arms hidden behind him. There were huge branches growing on , with dark and rough skin wrapped inside, and the two completely formed a whole. On the feet and arms, such bark-like growths also exist.

Liu Zhongwen said self-deprecatingly: "These things don't hurt." As he said that, he knocked heavily on the door panel with the "branch" in his hand. A knock sound appeared, and under the reaction of huge force, Liu Zhongwen looked calm.

According to "tree man" Liu Zhongwen, these branches covered his limbs, and the right hand was the most serious, four or five kilograms heavier than the left hand. When he is in normal operation, he must put his arms on his head, otherwise the huge weight will make it difficult for Liu Zhongwen to balance.

As for daily life, he couldn't take care of himself. 's hands full of branches were considered useless, and even his parents had to do their clothes and meals. Therefore, he lies in the chair all day and endures helplessly.

Why is it sick? Curse of the Divine Tree?

Why did Liu Zhongwen become a tree man? When did he suffer from a strange disease? What is this related to the curse of the tree god among the villagers?

It turns out that Liu Zhongwen was also a normal person when he was a child. He did not develop this symptom until more than twenty years ago. At first, only a white lump appeared on Liu Zhongwen's palm, which is also what we commonly call " wart ". In the eyes of rural people, this is a very ordinary thing, not surprising at all, and parents don’t take it to heart.

But soon after, the wart on Liu Zhongwen's hand grew bigger and bigger, and it also spread. After going to the town health center, a barefoot doctor prescribed him several boxes of ointments. But no matter how he wiped it with ointment, Liu Zhongwen's condition became more and more serious.

A few months later, the warts on Liu Zhongwen's hands grew and became thicker. Only then did the parents realize that the situation was wrong and hurriedly took him to the large hospital. , the solution given by the doctor is laser treatment, so that the "crawler" can be completely eliminated.

Perhaps fate is a mess, but Liu Zhongwen encountered successive accidents during the operation.

When Liu Zhongwen lay on the operating table, he asked if he wanted to get anesthesia, but the doctor said he didn't need it. However, during the laser treatment, Liu Zhongwen felt a sharp pain in his fingers, so he also turned, and the tendons and veins on his fingers were also injured, leaving a deep hole. Afterwards, the doctor said that it didn't matter and did not do more. Liu Zhongwen returned home. The bumps on his hand disappeared for the time being, but they soon grew again. This time, Liu Zhongwen's arm was quickly occupied by white lumps and grew into thick branches and trunks.

Liu Zhongwen's condition is getting worse and worse, and the villagers are also starting to talk about it. Many people came to visit, but were shocked by the scene in front of them. "Did your Zhongwen offend the Tree God?" Suddenly, an old man spoke like this.

For a moment, "Liu Zhongwen was cursed" . Such words spread quickly, and Liu Zhongwen's parents had to believe it. Liu Zhongwen's answer scared the two even more.

It turns out that Liu Zhongwen and his friends once went to the big tree in the back mountain to play, and even carved naughty words on the tree. Before she could think about it, the Liu family's parents quickly bought paper money and tributes, and took their son to the back mountain. In the following months, Liu Zhongwen and his family worshiped each other every day, and went to the temple to worship Buddha and pray for scriptures.

Even so, Liu Zhongwen's condition did not improve. On the contrary, a sudden high fever attacked him.

reporter interviewed, the truth was revealed

In one night, Liu Zhongwen felt a nauseous feeling in his chest, and then fell into a coma. When he woke up, he saw his parents waiting anxiously. It turned out that Liu Zhongwen had slept for four or five days. During this period, he rolled soup on his forehead and felt no sense of consciousness. Only by doing some trouble can Liu Zhongwen maintain a little vitality.

took a trip from the gates of hell, but he became much more calm. Perhaps his fate should be like this, and Liu Zhongwen is not making extravagant demands about the future.

Soon afterwards, the "branch" and "bark" on his hand were even more blooming, and the white juice suddenly swelled, emitting a foul smell. In this way, Liu Zhongwen completely became a weird person in all corners of the country, and no one was willing to get close to him.

On weekdays, he stays alone all day long, occasionally walking around at his doorstep.

Apart from his parents, Liu Zhongwen has never communicated with anyone else. This took more than 20 years until Jiangxi TV reporters came to visit.

For such a disease, the knowledgeable reporter also feels strange. But one thing is certain, there is absolutely no "curse of the tree god".

After some persuasion, Liu Zhongwen was taken to a Grade 3 hospital in Hunan by reporters. Under the diagnosis and treatment of dermatologists, his condition has been initially determined. After professional sectioning, experts issued a biological inspection report.

It turns out that this is a virus that causes wart-like proliferation growth. In fact, the virus that causes Liu Zhongwen's condition is the famous human papillary virus. All over the world, this virus has more than 300 subtypes and is widely present in nature.

However, Liu Zhongwen is far more infected than ordinary people. Generally speaking, what grows on the palms is one or two "crawlers", and Liu Zhongwen's virus has already invaded the inside and even reached the depths of the bones.

For more than 20 years, he has not dealt with this situation in a timely manner, and the erosion of the virus is difficult to recover. On the other hand, Liu Zhongwen's own immunity also has defects, which causes the virus in the body to continuously increase its value and form necrotic organisms on the surface of the body.

The "branches" on Liu Zhongwen's hand can still bloom, is just the natural withering of growth organisms. These nematodes grow repeatedly, absorbing the nutrients from Liu Zhongwen over and over again, forming a vicious cycle that recurs. What's so strange is how Liu Zhongwen was infected by human papillar virus.

At this time, Liu's mother remembered the old story twenty years ago. At that time, Liu Zhongwen and his friends went to the river to catch fish.But by accident, his palm was scratched by a huge fish bone. After returning home, Liu Zhongwen had a high fever and it only improved after three days.

Now think about it carefully, it should be the invasion of the virus caused by the scratch of fish bones. But where do rural people live so expensively? Who hasn’t grown up with rough raising?

Doctors are quite regretful about this. If they come to a large hospital for examination at the beginning of the disease, then it is possible to be cured. The past is irreversible, and the only thing that can be done is to find a good treatment for Liu Zhongwen.

retreatment, causing a sensation

After consultation at the Central Hospital of Yongzhou, Hunan, the experts still adopted a conservative treatment plan. Liu Zhongwen has been lacking in nutrition for many years and has been quite weak in his body. In his forties, he has already passed the best treatment period. Hunan Yongzhou Central Hospital does not have such experience, and everything needs to be taken slowly.

Liu Zhongwen stayed in the hospital for a while, and the doctors used some antiviral drugs on him. By injection into the body, these drugs can play a certain role in clearing and inhibit the malignant increase in the virus.

It is worth mentioning that "treating people" like Liu Zhongwen are available all over the world. In Indonesia , a man named Died Kswar also suffers from the same disease.

Like Liu Zhongwen, Died Kswar's body is covered with bark-like growths, and his limbs and trunks show sarcoma like branches and roots. Under the invasion of the virus, his skin surface became more serious and he could not even be easily wiped, otherwise he would have a chance to break and ulcer.

However, with the collective help of relatives, Dide Kswar entered the hospital early, was diagnosed with the condition by American experts, and received a series of treatments. Therefore, Jiangxi TV reporters also expressed their blessings to Liu Zhongwen and encouraged him to regain his confidence. After the

program was broadcast, the "Teaching Man" Liu Zhongwen aroused a huge response from the audience. On the website and forums, people emphasize the need to "premature prevention and early treatment" of viruses and bacteria.

5 or 6 years have passed, what is the situation with Liu Zhongwen’s treatment? Has he lived a new life? In 2022, with this question in mind, the reporter of that year conducted a follow-up visit. But the real reality makes people feel cold from the beginning to the soles of their feet.

again visited again, what is the current situation

In front of the reporter, Liu Zhongwen's family still looked dilapidated. After finishing the show, Liu Zhongwen did not continue to treat it. This family has long been penniless, the house is still empty, without a decent piece of furniture.

Liu's father and mother Liu's mother looked dim. They never wanted to treat their children, but they had no money and everything was empty talk. And the old couple couldn't make sure whether they should take out the last "coffin money".

The doctors at Yongzhou Central Hospital in Hunan did not make any guarantee that they could be cured as long as they were treated. For such rare disease , most of the potions used are imported, and medical insurance cannot be reimbursed. ,000 yuan spent on savings and his son's illness did not improve, that is the most unacceptable ending.

Yes, the reporter ignored that this is a poor family. It was able to support Liu Zhongwen, and the Liu family's parents had tried their best.

On the other hand, treatment is always a long process. For Liu's parents, this is something they can't afford to wait. They are in their 70s and their son is nearly fifty years old. At such an age, even if the disease is cured, it will be useless. does not treat it, this is what my son means.

When the reporter interviewed Liu Zhongwen again, he did not respond. On the right hand covered with branches, Liu Zhongwen skillfully held a cigarette. He slowly handed it to his mouth, took a hard sip, and then a soothing expression appeared on his face.

In this long life, Liu Wenzhong has not had much happy time when smoking. Because of his poor family, he can only smoke one or two shots a day.

As he said, this disease has become one with the body, and I no longer dislike it. Over the years, except for the two visits from reporters, the Liu family has never been to outsiders. They actually no longer interact with the villagers.

Now, Liu Zhongwen, who is almost 50 years old, is still single and lives up to his parents.

The only regret of Liu's parents is that they believe others' rumors. If you can firmly believe in science and keep taking your son to a large hospital for inspection, you will not be in a dilemma today.

Over the past twenty years, their mentality has also changed dramatically with their son. The hemp rope is special for breaking the details, and the bad luck is special for suffering people. From the initial anxiety to the final relief, the powerlessness of life came to their faces, and they could only accept it calmly.

"Who says that the heart of a grass can repay the spring sunshine." At the end of the follow-up visit, Liu's mother left a deep impression on the reporter. She has never despised her son, and she still wiped Liu Zhongwen's body every day and dressed cleanly. When eating , Liu's mother fed her son's mouth with a spoon, and added sugar to the corn porridge to increase the flavor.

Knowing that her son is mentally unhappy, Liu's mother would take Liu Zhongwen out for a walk every day. They walked along the rugged mountain road, avoiding the villagers and walking hand in hand. Even though the "branch" on his son's arm was so ugly, the mother took the initiative to hold it and smiled from the bottom of her heart.

However, when the reporter interviewed Liu's mother alone, she also wet her eyes. Liu's mother said that she was most worried about not now. As long as her old couple still had the strength, they could raise their son. The only thing I am afraid of is how their son should live in this world after they leave. After all, the villagers have long regarded Liu Zhongwen as an alien.

Even though there are government subsistence allowances and assistance, how can my son take care of his own food, clothing, daily life? After hearing this question, the reporter had no answer, and I'm afraid no one could give it.
