Zhu Ling1973165438+1October 24th, Zhu Ling was born in an intellectual family in Beijing, with his father Wu Chengzhi and his mother Zhu Mingxin. Zhu Ling has a sister, Wu Jin, who is four or five years older than her (she was a biology student in Peking University and died unexpectedly on a spring outing in Yesanpo on April 1989). Zhu Ling studied piano since childhood, and began to learn guqin at the age of 15. 1992, Zhu Ling was admitted to Tsinghua University and enrolled in Class 2, Physical Chemistry and Instrumental Analysis, Department of Chemistry. Zhu Ling is versatile. Join the Tsinghua University Folk Band and become the main player. 1994 won the second prize of the national college art performance individual group. In addition, she is a second-class swimmer in Beijing. 1994165438+124 October, Zhu Ling began to have strange poisoning symptoms: at first, it was a stomachache, so I couldn't eat; Then (65438+February 5) the stomach was upset; Finally (65438+February 8), her hair began to fall off, and it fell out in a few days. On February 23rd, 65438, Zhu Ling was admitted to the Department of Gastroenterology, Beijing Tongren Hospital. Although the cause was not found, after one month in hospital, Zhu Ling's condition eased and his hair grew. /kloc-0 was discharged on October 23rd. 1995. On February 20th, 1995, the winter vacation ended and the new semester began. Zhu Ling went back to school. On March 6th, Zhu Ling's condition deteriorated. Her leg hurts badly and she feels dizzy. Zhu Ling's parents sent her to the Third Hospital of Beijing Medical University for treatment. On March 9th, 1995, Zhu Ling's parents took Zhu Ling to the neurology specialist clinic of Union Medical College Hospital. After receiving the consultation, Professor Li Shunwei told Zhu Ling's mother that it was "too much like a thallium salt poisoning case in Tsinghua University in 1960s". However, because Zhu Ling denied the history of contact with thallium salt, and the Union Medical College Hospital did not have the conditions to do this test, the Union Medical College Hospital did not carry out thallium poisoning test. On March 15, the symptoms became worse, and facial paralysis, ophthalmoplegia and loss of spontaneous breathing began to appear. Zhu Ling was admitted to the neurology ward of Union Medical College Hospital and treated according to acute disseminated encephalomyelitis. On March 23rd, central respiratory failure occurred in Zhu Ling, and the Union Medical College Hospital adopted tracheotomy. On March 24th, Union Medical College Hospital began to treat Zhu Ling with plasma exchange, with the dosage exceeding 1 000 ml each time. Some people think that this played an important role in maintaining Zhu Ling's life without diagnosis, but in the process, Zhu Ling was infected with hepatitis C [65,438+0]. On March 26th, Zhu Ling was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of Union Medical College Hospital, and kept breathing by ventilator. On March 28th, he fell into a coma until he woke up on August 3rd1,and Zhu Ling was in a coma for five months. [1] Union Medical College Hospital conducted a number of tests in Zhu Ling (including HIV, spinal puncture, nuclear magnetic resonance, immune system, chemical poisoning, antinuclear antibodies, nuclear antigen antibodies and Lyme disease, etc. ), but all the test results were negative except Lyme disease. Calling for help through the Internet 65438+1April 1995 10, Zhu Ling's high school classmates, Peking University's Mechanical Department's Grade 92 students, such as Bei Zhicheng and Cai Quanqing, translated this unknown disease into English at that time, [3] and sent help emails to news groups such as sci.med and Bitnet through the Internet. Later, I received 1635 letters from 18 countries and regions in the world (one said more than 2,000 letters, and Bei Zhicheng said more than 3,000 letters), and about one third of them thought it was a typical thallium poisoning phenomenon. The doctor of St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital [9] pointed out in his reply that "thallium poisoning is suspected, and it can almost be diagnosed according to symptoms such as hair loss, gastrointestinal problems and neurological problems". At that time, due to the undeveloped Internet in China, overseas Dr. Xin Li from UCLA, together with Dr. John W. Aldis, helped to establish the remote diagnosis network of thallium poisoning in UCLA Zhu Ling, which played a key role in the information release and coordination of remote diagnosis of thallium poisoning in Zhu Ling. On April 18, Bei Zhicheng took the translated e-mail to the door of the intensive care unit of Union Medical College Hospital for reference, but thought that there was no positive response, few people read it, and the thallium poisoning judgment and corresponding detection methods in the e-mail were not adopted, which made the results of online remote diagnosis not play a corresponding role in time. After diagnosis and follow-up treatment, it is suspected that the online reply caused thallium poisoning. When Zhu Ling's parents learned that Professor Zhenyang Chen from Beijing Occupational Disease Prevention and Control Institute could identify thallium poisoning, with the help of a conscientious Concord doctor, they obtained Zhu Ling's urine, cerebrospinal fluid, blood, nails and hair, and went to Beijing Occupational Disease Prevention and Control Institute for examination on April 28th 1995. On the same day, Zhenyang Chen released a test report saying that Zhu Ling was poisoned by thallium twice. After the second poisoning, Zhu Ling's thallium content far exceeded the lethal dose, and he suspected that someone had deliberately poisoned him. At the same time, he suggested taking Prussian blue to detoxify. According to the online feedback and the test results of Zhenyang Chen on April 28th, Zhu Ling began to take the symptomatic drug Prussian Blue. On the day of taking it, the thallium ion concentration in his blood began to decrease. This is the 50th day of Zhu Ling's treatment in Union Medical College Hospital. One month later (65,438+00 days), thallium in his body was discharged. However, because thallium ion stayed in the body for too long, Zhu Ling's nervous system was seriously damaged, his vision was almost completely lost, and his body function was also seriously damaged, and he is still in a coma. On August 3rd, Kloc-0, Zhu Ling woke up from a coma for five months. 1995165438+10, Zhu Ling was discharged from union medical college hospital and transferred to other hospitals and rehabilitation centers for treatment and investigation. Doctors who conducted thallium detection and remote diagnosis for Zhu Ling believed that Zhu Ling was poisoned intentionally. The doctor of St Jude's Children's Research Hospital [9] also pointed out in his reply that "if thallium is not used in Zhu Ling's work (such as for the production of optical lenses), it is likely to be deliberately poisoned". Zhenyang Chen, from Beijing Institute of Occupational Disease Prevention and Control, thinks that Zhu Ling was poisoned by thallium salt twice, and the second poisoning was a lethal dose, so it was determined that someone had poisoned him. 1On the evening of April 28th, 995, after being diagnosed with thallium poisoning, his parents immediately requested to report the case to Professor Xue, who was then the deputy director of the Department of Chemistry of Tsinghua University and was in charge of student work. Xue immediately reported the case to the director of Tsinghua University Security Department and the deputy director of Tsinghua University Police Station. On May 7th, 1995, the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau began to formally initiate an investigation. But before the case was put on file, during the May Day holiday after thallium poisoning was diagnosed, a bizarre theft happened in Zhu Ling dormitory, and Zhu Ling's toiletries were lost. Thallium is a highly toxic chemical. Thallium and cyanide belong to the same class A in the Classification and Commodity Names of Highly Toxic Substances in People's Republic of China (PRC) (1993, 10, 1). According to the Public Security Bureau, only more than 20 units in Beijing need thallium and thallium salts, and only more than 200 people have access to thallium. The police also ruled out the possibility that Zhu Ling himself used or had contact with thallium salt, and that his family and relatives had contact with thallium salt. Jason, one of the two attorneys entrusted by Zhu Ling's family, pointed out that "according to the information provided by the police at present, someone deliberately poisoned Zhu Ling, which means there is a murderer behind it". Wang Bu, an old policeman who knows the inside story and has decades of experience in solving crimes, concluded that "the scope of suspicion is very small" and further concluded that "there is a murderer around Zhu Ling" according to the strict management of the girls' dormitory in Tsinghua University. 1in April, 1997, two years after the official filing of the case, the Beijing police conducted the first surprise trial of Zhu Lingan criminal suspect Sun Wei. The previously reported case progress and investigation include: the police went to Zhu Ling's father's unit in the summer and autumn of 1995 to investigate the relationship between Zhu Ling's father and Sun Wei's father; On 1995, the police informed Zhu Ling's family that "only one layer of paper is enough"; 10 years ago (reported in June, 5438+October, 2006 10), Li Mucheng, director of the Tsinghua University police station, told Zhu Ling's parents that he was "seeing someone" and "after the approval from above, he began to fight hand in hand"; In February, 1996, the relevant leaders of Beijing Public Security Bureau 14 told Zhu Ling's family that the case was very difficult and was still under efforts. 1February, 1997, Professor Xue from the Department of Chemistry told his family that the school would cooperate with the police to carry out effective detection, but there was no follow-up. Zhu Ling's mother, Zhu Mingxin 1997 1 1, mentioned in a letter published on UCLA Zhu Ling thallium poisoning remote diagnosis website that the police always suspected that a girl who was Zhu Ling's roommate and classmate was the real murderer. At the same time, the police explained that there was evidence that the suspect reported thallium poisoning detection too late, which destroyed the articles in Zhu Ling's dormitory, leaving less than 1% of the hardware evidence missing. However, the police said that they would not give up and were confident to convict the suspect in an open court. However, since1May 7, 995 1 1 (2006), the case has not entered the court hearing stage, and the Beijing police never announced the detection of the case, nor did they disclose any relevant details and reasons. However, in 2006, Li Shusen, the director of Public Security BureauNo. 14, who was in charge of the case, told the reporter who interviewed him that "this matter has reached a certain conclusion in the investigation" and "this matter is very sensitive". Sun Wei, a classmate of suspect Zhu Ling's dormitory, is considered as the only person who can legally obtain thallium salt, and has close ties with Zhu Ling. After a detailed investigation, the police listed him as a suspect of poisoning. Grandfather Sun and uncle Sun Fuling hold important positions in democratic parties, and their prominent family background is considered to be the reason why the investigation of this case cannot be carried out smoothly. 1March, 997, Zhu Ling's family wrote to the Beijing Public Security Bureau [24] on the grounds that all the classes involved in the accident were about to graduate, and it was difficult to get a witness card. 1April 2, 997 Sun Wei was taken away as a suspect in Zhu Lingan by the Beijing Public Security Bureau 14, and the name of the suspect was signed on it. After being interrogated for eight hours, Sun Wei was taken home by his family. Zhu Ling's family also wrote to the state leaders, asking for speeding up the handling of the case [24], but did not specify the time of writing. 1998 1, Sun Wei's family wrote letters to senior leaders after learning that Zhu Ling's family wrote letters to state leaders. 1On August 26th, 998, the public security organ announced that she was dismissed from suspicion. Lawyer Chea Chang explained, "The dismissal of a criminal suspect means that the public security organ has lifted the compulsory measures against the criminal suspect according to law because there is no conclusive evidence beyond the statutory time limit, but this does not mean that the criminal suspect is excluded.". Zhu Ling's family v. Zhu Ling's family in Sheikh Hospital, arguing that thallium poisoning caused by misdiagnosis and delayed treatment in Sheikh Hospital brought serious sequelae to Zhu Ling. 199665438+In February, a lawyer of a law firm (whose name and location were not disclosed so far) provided legal aid, accepted the entrustment of Zhu Ling's family, and sued the Union Medical College Hospital to the Dongcheng District People's Court, "demanding that the hospital compensate for economic and mental losses of nearly 800,000 yuan". 1997 10, Beijing Medical Accident Appraisal Center made an appraisal that the Union Medical College Hospital was not at fault and did not belong to a medical accident. On April 2nd, 1999, the first-instance Union Medical College Hospital won the case. 199965438+February, Yu Rong, a lawyer of Haotian Law Firm, who represented the case for free, applied to Beijing No.2 Intermediate People's Court for re-appraisal. The court entrusted Beijing Institute of Forensic Science and Technology for re-appraisal, and the unit issued an appraisal opinion: "The inaction of (Union Medical College Hospital) caused Zhu Ling's illness to be delayed, so there were some irregularities in this medical behavior of Peking Union Medical College Hospital." On June 26th, 2000, 165438+ Peking No.2 Intermediate People's Court finally ruled that Union Medical College Hospital compensated Zhu Ling for medical losses of 65438+ 10,000 yuan. Ten years later, the storm broke out again. Before 2006, China media only reported the Zhu Ling incident occasionally, mainly focusing on the tragic experience of Zhu Ling and the role of telemedicine. In September, 1995, Chen Tong, a reporter from Girlfriend magazine, interviewed the girls in the same dormitory in Zhu Ling, but she was given a cold shoulder. In 2002, someone wrote on the Internet that the suspect who poisoned Zhu Ling was Sun Wei. At the same time, Bei Zhicheng published "Some Cases of Zhu Ling" with his real name on the website of "New Threads", introducing some inside information. On June 30th, 2005, 165438+ In Tianya Community, a netizen with the ID "skyoneline" published "The Beauty of Jealousy: A Girl Poisoned Ten Years ago in Tsinghua", which once again brought up the case, which aroused the concern of the community. On February 30th, 65438+ a netizen with the ID of "Sun Wei Statement" (the account was confirmed by Sun Wei's father as Sun Wei himself, and was also confirmed by some materialized class 2 students' comments in Tianya) published "Sun Wei Statement-Refuting the Rumors Caused by Thallium Poisoning in Zhu Ling", publicly defending himself in the name of Sun Wei, which triggered public discussion and aroused great concern of netizens about the case. On the Internet, many netizens denounced Sun Wei as a poisoner. Some netizens found Sun Wei's family, address, work unit and other information, as well as the list of students in Zhu Ling and Sun Wei's class. Since mid-October of 2006, China Daily, Morning Post, Legal Morning Post, Southern People Weekly, Xinmin Weekly, Youth Weekend, China Times, Dalian Evening News and many other media have reported the Zhu Ling incident and the discussion on the Internet. On June 22 and 23, 2007, CCTV- 1 broadcasted a documentary about Twelve Years of Zhu Ling, which pushed the attention of this case to a newer and wider level. Zhu Ling was poisoned from 1994. After more than ten years of rehabilitation treatment, due to the irreversibility of thallium poisoning, Zhu Ling's intelligence, vision, limbs and language functions have not recovered, leaving a permanent and serious sequela. Zhu Ling can't take care of herself at all, so she must be taken care of by her elderly parents. At present, many people who care about Zhu Ling initiated the establishment of "Help Zhu Ling Foundation" in March 2004 to establish and maintain websites about Zhu Ling. As of March 2006, the overseas fund-raising of the Foundation has exceeded 33,000 US dollars. Some donations have been sent to Zhu Ling's family for her rehabilitation. On March 10, 2006, Beijing Law Firm accepted the entrustment of the Zhu family to provide legal aid, and sent one or two lawyers to provide legal services for the family to safeguard their legitimate rights and interests.
