Chapter 173 fall

In the spring of 1923, Li Huixian died of illness, and Liang Qichao was extremely sad. After that, blood began to appear in his urine.Because he didn't want to involve his family, Liang kept it secret.It was not until January 1926 that Liang Qichao suspected that he was suffering from cancer, so he agreed to go to the hospital for examination.After the hospital diagnosis, it was determined to be hematuria, but the cause of the disease could not be found.At the insistence of Ding Wenjiang and others, Liang Qichao was admitted to Union Hospital. After a careful examination, the doctors at Xiehe Hospital determined that the right kidney had a tumor, so they decided to perform an operation on March 16 to remove all the right kidney.But after the operation, Liang's hematuria symptoms did not improve.It turned out that the doctor in charge cut off Liang Qichao's healthy kidney.

According to Liang Qixun's "Hospital Notes" and Chen Xiying's "Believe in Medicine is worse than No Doctor" records: After Liang's abdomen was cut open, the doctors did not find a tumor or any problem on the right kidney, but they still Liang's right kidney was cut off.After the operation, Liang's hematuria did not improve, and the doctors thought that the problem was in the teeth, so they pulled out seven of Liang's teeth, but Liang's symptoms did not improve.The doctors also said that the problem was diet, which made Liang Qichao hungry for several days.But Liang's hematuria still hasn't healed!So the doctors said, they couldn't find the cause!

When he learned that Xiehe Hospital performed an operation to remove Liang Qichao’s healthy kidney, instead of condemning the hospital, Liang Qichao defended Xiehe Hospital. He said: “Although I have undergone a very major operation, because the doctor’s skills are excellent, my physique is originally strong. , 10 days after the circumcision, the spirit has been as usual, and now it is getting stronger." At the beginning of April 1927, Liang Qichao went to Xiehe hospital for examination again. After the examination, the doctor told him that his kidney function had fully recovered, but he needed to save labor.But Liang Qichao did not pay attention to rest, and was admitted to Union Hospital in 1928.In June of this year, he went to Tianjin to live temporarily, and every day he just read and entertained.Because of the rest, the symptoms of hematuria have also improved, but "occasionally a little red every ten days".

In September, Liang Qichao began to compile the Chronicle of Xin Jiaxuan. On September 24, when Liang compiled and Xin Jiaxuan was 52 years old, hemorrhoids relapsed, but he still kept writing and continued to write sideways.Afterwards, his condition worsened and he could no longer sit still. On the 27th, he was hospitalized in Xiehe Hospital.The doctor was afraid of excessive bleeding and thought that surgical incision was not suitable, so he could only give Liang daily laxative oil. During the hospitalization, Liang Qichao inadvertently found two anecdotes about Xin Jiaxuan, so he was discharged early and returned to Tianjin in disregard of the doctor's advice.Unexpectedly, he caught a cold on the way home but didn't know it, and continued to write, which made his condition worse and he was bedridden ever since.

On November 28, Liang Qichao was admitted to Union Hospital again. At 2:50 pm on January 19, 1929, Liang Qichao died suddenly at the age of 56 due to ineffective medical treatment. This unfinished "Chronology of Xin Jiaxuan" became Liang Qichao's last pen. What he recorded at the last moment were Xin Jiaxuan's words mourning Zhu Xi: "The one who is immortal will be famous forever. Whoever dies for the public is as stern as life."
