Chapter 58 Skeleton hanging, showing backbone (1)

The skeleton hangs up, showing that people with backbone will die. After death, the so-called stinky skin, how to deal with this corpse?The Egyptians were the most superstitious. He felt that only by protecting the corpse from decay could the soul be eternal, so they made mummies.I have lived in Taiwan for fifty-five years and have never left the island. However, I have seen Egyptian mummies.Once when I came to Taiwan for an exhibition, I took a picture.This is this mummy in Egypt. When I came to Taiwan for fifty years, I held a lecture.This is the venue at that time. Please look at it, the great hall with a crowd of more than 6,000 people.In this meeting place, the newspaper published that: After crossing the sea for half a century, Li Ao gave a lecture, and 6,000 people attended the meeting, formally signed the consent form for the donation of the body, proud of themselves, and fought tirelessly.I donate my body.To whom?Donated to National Taiwan University Hospital (National Taiwan University Affiliated Hospital).Dr. Han Yixiong, the director of orthopedics at that time, and my good friend, Dr. Chen Yaochang, accepted my body donation ceremony on behalf of National Taiwan University Hospital.

Why donate my body?Conditional.What conditions?They are called gross anatomy.I said it doesn't matter how you dissect it. After I die, the cornea can be used. Donate it to Zhang San. Where can I donate it to Li Si? : Finally, my skeleton, my skeleton, hang me in the orthopedic department of your National Taiwan University hospital.As for this request, Han Yixiong is the director of the Department of Orthopedics, and he agreed.He asked me: "If you don't die, your bones will become soft in the future. What if we can't hang them up?" I said, "It's easy. If you can't hang them up, just lie down. Is it a Buddhist temple? There is a reclining Buddha sleeping here, this reclining Buddha has a black face." I mean just lie down.He said: "Why did you do this?" I said: "Because you hate me to the bone, if someone comes to see me, Li Ao is here, and you can see that I will show my bones after all, so you can always see me. Bones, my skeleton is here."

My idea came from a poem written by Tan Sitong. In it, I talked about wishing my body to become bones and ashes, but I think that I don’t want my body to become bones and ashes, I would like to become a specimen, I am ready to stay here.Han Yixiong said: "Now we don't use human bones as specimens. We make them ourselves, using plastic." I said, "You have to do what you can. Do you want it?" If you want it, donate it to them up. Five years later, something happened, that is, last year I got prostate (prostate) cancer.After I had cancer, I needed to be operated on. Dr. Zhang Shuren operated on me, a very good doctor.After the operation, he told me: "Because the entire prostate gland has been cut off in this place, so after it is connected in this way, the back will be pulled a little bit, your Brother Li Ao, that thing will be one centimeter shorter, it will be shorter. A little bit." I said, "It's okay, my body is donated to National Taiwan University Hospital, and after I die, these brats will come to dissect me and find out: How did you, Li Ao, become smaller? This is too serious." Some People are very small.Take a look at this Napoleon, Napoleon is very small.I said, "How is it possible? How did I get smaller after I donated this thing in Taiwan? What's the matter? Don't donate it, don't donate it." These were just jokes. I asked Han Yixiong and Dr. Chen Yaochang to have dinner, and I said: "At least until I fully recover, I won't donate now." What am I kidding?Make a joke about a Chinese joke book "Xiao Lin Guang Ji".

"Xiao Lin Guang Ji" said that a person was promoted, and he told his wife: My official position is bigger than before, isn't it? His wife said: I know the official position, but will that thing be big? no)?The official said: "Naturally, that thing becomes bigger."Later, when they had sex, his wife blamed him for not being very old, but for being very young.The official said: "It's much better when you grow up, you don't feel it (you don't feel it).His wife said: Why can't I feel it?The official said: "Could it be that the master has been promoted, but the wife is still not successful?"——Why?My big you got bigger too, so you can't feel it.There is an old Chinese saying that "you will grow old together" (you grow old, I will grow old with you), then the joke is: I am old, you grow up with me.Where is my bad luck in Taiwan?That is, I became smaller with Taiwan.Taiwan is small, so many of our efforts have become smaller, and many of our bullpens have been wasted, because Taiwan has become smaller and disappeared.Now the situation is more serious.

Why did I have problems after I had surgery, so I issued this order, that is, I don’t want to donate for the time being, and I won’t die for the time being, let me study and see how to deal with it. Take a look at this skeleton diagram, there is an idiom in English: skeleton at the feast (skeleton in the middle of the banquet).What is this?There is a custom in ancient Egypt, that is, when everyone eats meat and drinks together, put this thing (dead man's skeleton) next to it to remind you: one day, you will become like this too.It's not to spoil your happiness, but to remind you that you don't want to be extremely happy to cause sadness, but to think about it and think about it.I mentioned to you in the program that there was a word in ancient times called "■", with a "graduation" character added to the side of the wooden character, what is it?That is, when the emperor's car is walking in front, the last car is a coffin, and the coffin car is called "■".It is the emperor, don’t be arrogant, don’t think you are long live, you may have an accident at any time, and you may die at any time, so you always don’t forget that you will die, you must have this kind of heart to govern the country.This system was later destroyed by Tang Xuanzong (Tang Minghuang), and then it disappeared.My idea is the idea of ​​Li Ao, the skeleton hanging there, and I have not given up on it until now, but after I had the operation, I wanted to tell everyone jokingly, and I also told the doctors at National Taiwan University Hospital that I would suspend it and stop donating for the time being. .
