Sang Lan
1In July, 1998, the 4th Goodwill Games with the theme of "benefiting children" was held in new york on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. Although Turner, the tycoon of CNN, spared no expense to hold this event in 12, although there were many world sports superstars in the event, and although the major media made sensational rumors of mixed sadness and joy in sports from time to time, there was only one hot spot so far.
Sang Lan, 17 years old, a gymnast from Ningbo, China, represented China in goodwill games. If there is no tragedy caused by the accidental miss before the single event, maybe she will attend the press conference and be interviewed by the media briefly as the champion of vault in the competition.
The accident happened in the warm-up training before the individual gymnastics competition. The time is 6: 00 am on July 22nd, Beijing time (the evening of July 2nd1Sunday, new york time), and the vault competition will be staged in Long Island Gymnasium soon. In the routine warm-up, she is full of energy. She has done handspring twice, and the little girl wants to do it again, although for a player who is good at vault, this action can be said to be "by heart". Unexpectedly, this last jump caused her lifelong regret.
The assistant coach of the American national team who witnessed the tragedy said: Sang Lan's movements are not very difficult. She seemed to hesitate when stepping and jumping, and turned a little more in the air. As a result, she landed on her head and immediately fell to the ground. China Coach and the medical staff on the side immediately rushed to give first aid. The poor girl went into shock for about 65,438+00 seconds, so everyone quickly fixed her and sent her to Nassau Medical Center on a stretcher. This can only be an accident.
About 12 minutes later, Zhang, the attending physician of China, who is on duty in Long Island Radiology Department, began to check Sang Lan. Results —— Dislocation and contusion of the sixth and seventh cervical vertebrae in Sang Lan, accompanied by nerve tissue injury, may lead to paralysis. That night, the goodwill games Organizing Committee sent a message to the China delegation that, in view of Sang Lan's serious illness, it decided to invite Sang Lan's parents to new york as soon as possible to "help Sang Lan recover with the encouragement of his family."
The next day, the organizing committee held a press conference on the Sang Lan incident at the Gymnastics News Center in Long Island, which was also the press conference with the largest number of journalists participating in the championship. At the meeting, Dr. Leoni, the attending physician of Nassau Medical Center, introduced Sang Lan's injury to the media. After diagnosis and treatment, Sang Lan's cervical dislocation has been successfully restored. She was conscious, and her upper limb activity gradually improved, but she lost consciousness below the chest. The doctor also said, "I have never met such a tenacious girl as Sang Lan, although she was only 17 years old in a very painful process."
Thomas, the chief executive of Nassau, said after visiting Sang Lan: "I am deeply encouraged by her courage in facing the pain. She's great! ! "
Ms. Scanan, President of American Gymnastics Association, expressed regret over the accident, but pointed out that the accident was not the product of unsafe environment.
Tu Mingde, head of the China sports delegation and secretary-general of the Chinese Olympic Committee, told the "foreigners" in fluent English that the China delegation thanked American friends for their concern and care for Sang Lan, China would urge Sang Lan's parents to come to the United States as soon as possible, and said that China players would continue to take part in the competition seriously.
"When can I practice?" This is the first sentence that Sang Lan said when he woke up. When people heard the news from Zhao Yuxin, the captain of the China Gymnastics Team, they all stood in awe of Sang Lan. The girl may have been paralyzed just after the flower season.
Zhao Yuxin, who has been with Sang Lan at the bedside, told reporters with red eyes: "This child is very sensible. The day after the injury, I asked her if she wanted her mother and whether she wanted her mother to accompany her. She said,' No, don't let mom and dad come. They will be sad to see me like this. "Sang Lan's head and neck were pulled on both sides, motionless.
The Sang Lan incident shocked Long Island. Colonel Tu Mingde gave Sang Lan a naughty and lovely little white bear when he visited her. On behalf of all members of the China delegation, he wished Sang an early recovery. Shen Guofang, Deputy Permanent Representative of China to the United Nations, also visited Sang Lan in the hospital. All the gymnasts who participated in the goodwill games Gymnastics Competition sent a signed letter of condolence to Sang Lan. People from all walks of life, especially Chinese in America, sent flowers and gifts. It is said that the hospital has set up a special room for this purpose. On the website of Nassau Medical Center, there are countless emails expressing condolences to Sang Lan ... In order to make Sang Lan recover as soon as possible, the day after Sang Lan was injured, the US Federal Food and Drug Administration authorized Nassau Medical Center to apply for the use of an experimental drug named "SYGEN" on Sang Lan. It is said that this synthetic protein is used to treat nerve injury and repair tissue structure.
At 8: 00 am local time on July 25th (the evening of July 25th, Beijing time), experts from Nassau Medical Center performed cervical fusion surgery for Sang Lan for seven hours so that she could sit up in the future. Before entering the operating room, Sang Lan said, "I really hope to have an operation soon so that I can eat." She has been eating bit by bit since she was injured.
A few hours after the operation in Sang Lan was called "successful" by the hospital spokesman, that is, at 7: 45 Beijing time, Sang Lan's father Sang Shi Sheng and his mother Chen Xiufeng flew to new york via Frankfurt. In order to prevent the China couple from being frightened by the scene, the organizing committee took very strict protection measures to make them leave JFK airport smoothly, which made journalists from all over the world who followed them breathe a sigh of relief.
Major American media have been involved in the Sang Lan incident. In the past few days, satellite vans and photographers have been stationed at the entrance of Nassau Medical Center, and the spokesman of the center is even more difficult to parry. Even the American Chinese TV reporter and two Shanghai journalists, Wu Xiaoqing and Chen Jun, who filmed Sang Lan's shot when Sang Lan joined the team, were once "worth a lot", and ABC Broadcasting Company also bought videos from their boss at special prices. ...
Last night 10, Beijing time, Nasu Medical Center announced that Sang Lan's operation was very successful and he could sit up and eat!
"Can Sang Lan still stand up?"
Although people didn't get a direct answer, what is certain is that Sang Lan's tragic story is intertwined with countless good wishes.
