The only Harvard MD in history to be eaten。。。。。。。。。。。。

 Dong Jianyi may be the only Harvard MD who was eaten by someone in history.


In 1957, China's Gansu Province established a labor camp in a place called Jiabiangou in the Gobi Desert in Jiuquan. More than 3,000 intellectuals classified as rightists were sent to this labor camp. Due to the harsh living environment, they In 1960, only more than 300 people survived. These intellectuals, who were once famous all over the world, went so far as to eat each other in order to survive.


After graduating from Harvard, Dong Jianyi was encouraged to return to China in 1952. He returned with his wife and worked at Shanghai Huimin Hospital. In 1955, he responded to the national call to support the construction of the Northwest and took the initiative to work in Lanzhou. As a result, in 1957, he was classified as a rightist because he gave some opinions to the hospital leaders and was sent to Jiabiangou Labor Camp.


In 1960, Jiabiangou experienced a peak death rate. A large number of reform-through-labor prisoners starved to death every day, and cannibalism abounded. As a doctor, Dong Jianyi knew that he was about to die. In order to prevent his body from being eaten by hungry inmates, Dong Jianyi told the inmate Liu Wenhan, a rightist from the Gansu Public Security Department, before he died that he would wrap himself in a blanket after his death. His body was hidden outside, waiting for his wife to see him for the last time.


In accordance with his last wish, Liu Wenhan wrapped his body and hid it in a cave. A week later, Dong Jianyi's wife Gu Xiaoying came all the way from Shanghai. Liu Wenhan took her to see the body, but she could not find it. Finally, the body of Dong Jianyi was found abandoned in the Gobi Desert. The blankets and clothes on his body had been stolen, and all his flesh and skin had been cut off. Only his head was left hanging on the skeleton.


Dong Jianyi was only 35 years old when he died. His wife finally took his head back to Shanghai. This true story comes from "Experience: My 1957" by Ms. He Fengming.
