　　Is he schizophrenic or not? Who has the right to send schizophrenics to hospital?

　　How did he get from the university dormitory to the mental hospital?

　　Reporter/Mao Yijun

　　This article first appeared in China Newsweek, No.874.

　　During his 134 days in Luoyang Mental Health Center, Liu Gang (pseudonym) claimed that he was beaten by a nursing worker, leaving behind sequelae such as heart disease and high blood pressure due to medication and electroconvulsive therapy.

　　On the day of admission on July 20, 2015, he was diagnosed with schizophrenia. However, he said that he was forcibly sent to the hospital by Chen Guan ‘an, deputy secretary of the Party branch of the School of Foreign Languages of Luoyang Normal University, and Xu Min, deputy director of the Psychiatric Department 5 of Luoyang Mental Health Center. The hospital did not carry out relevant inspections before asking his mother to sign the hospitalization procedures.

　　Four months later, Liu Gang was discharged from the hospital, sued Luoyang Normal University and Luoyang Mental Health Center, demanded compensation of 170,000 yuan, and publicly apologized to himself.

　　Luolong, Luoyang, November 23, 2017

　　In the first instance, the District People’s Court held that there was no evidence to prove that Liu Gang had self-injured or injured people, and he did not have the conditions for compulsory treatment. He sentenced Luoyang Mental Health Center to take compulsory measures against Liu Gang for infringement, and asked him to publicly apologize to Liu Gang and compensate him for medical expenses of 21,673.46 yuan and mental damages of 50,000 yuan.

　　In December of that year, Luoyang Mental Health Center appealed on the grounds that the original trial found that its infringement lacked basic facts, while Liu Gang also appealed because the amount of consolation money was too small and Luoyang Normal University was not sentenced.

　　Subsequently, Luoyang Intermediate People’s Court sent it back for retrial.

　　On October 10 this year, the Luolong District Court held a trial in the second instance, adjourned during the evidence-giving session, and tried again on another day.

　　to be hospitalized/be admitted to hospital

　　On the morning of July 20, 2015, Liu Gang changed from Taoyuan dormitory to the first floor of Liyuan dormitory. He heard Chen Guan ‘an, deputy secretary of the General Party Branch of Foreign Languages Institute, calling him outside the door, "Your mother is coming, take your mother to travel quickly."

　　He saw Chen Guan ‘an go into the dormitory, and another man he didn’t know came in and pointed at him and said, "Why don’t you go for treatment?". Later, his mother came into the house to help him sort out his belongings. Because of the short time, he had no time to ask his mother about the specific situation.

　　After walking out of the dormitory door with his mother, three men and Chen Guan ‘an grabbed his hand and tied it back, and took him up from the back of the van. Mother was so scared that she cried. He heard Chen Guan ‘an tell his mother that you should get him a certificate, or he will not be allowed to go to school again.

　　Liu Gang always said that he thought he had met a gangster, didn’t resist all the way, and didn’t have time to ask his mother what happened. "Finally, I went to the hospital directly without diagnosis, because my mother didn’t read much and signed it without understanding the content." Now, he told China Newsweek.

　　In her mother’s statement to the court, she said that the school repeatedly called to tell her that her son had psychological problems, and the last time she was told that her son was missing, she went to Luoyang. She wanted to take her son to a psychiatric hospital for examination, so she searched the Luoyang Mental Health Center on the Internet. It was she who took the doctor to her son’s school. After that, the doctor took Liu Gang to the hospital. "I said I was going to check, but I didn’t check it after I got there, so I went directly to the hospital." Liu Gang’s mother said this in the court statement.

　　Liu Gang’s mother signed the admission procedure, which she admitted. But she said, "I don’t know the content, it’s a hospitalization procedure anyway."

　　In Chen Guan ‘an’s testimony, on July 13th, Liu Gang contacted him to go through the lodging formalities. Chen Guanan, who works in the old campus, can’t leave and let the counselor An Mingming handle it. He told Liu Gang that the Taoyuan dormitory should be packed with beds, and students from the old campus will move in in the new semester.

　　On the 18th, Liu Gangzai off-campus Internet cafes didn’t return all night and were discovered by the boarding house, so they informed An Mingming.

　　According to Chen Guan ‘an, he learned through the administrator on July 20th that Liu Gang was asked to move to Room 1118, No.3 Liyuan, because the summer students stayed in Liyuan. When he passed by, the dormitory door was open, and Liu Gangzai sorted things. After more than 20 minutes of communication failed, the medical staff took compulsory measures.

　　For the process of admission, Liu Gang looked down when he recalled to the media, paused many times, suddenly and repeatedly swung the mobile phone and recorder on the table for no reason, and dragged the seat from time to time. In the law firm in Zhengzhou, he always asked to sit at the end of the long table near the window in the conference room, rather than sitting in the middle of the media.

　　When he mentioned whether he had a dispute with Chen Guan’ an because of other issues such as changing dormitories, Liu Gang was emotional. "Too many reporters have asked such retarded questions, and Chen Guan’ an attracted me to attack!"

　　Luoyang Mental Health Center has a medical record dated August 17, 2015, which records the hospitalization for 20 days from July 20 to August 17, 2015. Among them, it shows that Liu Gang’s admission situation is as follows: his thinking is rambling, his logic is wrong, his concept is confused, his victim delusion of reference is obvious, his auditory hallucinations can be elicited, his behavior is weird, he has been covering his nose and mouth with his hands, his attention is not concentrated, and his self-knowledge is lacking.

　　The diagnosis made by the hospital is: schizophrenia.

　　In Article 28 of the Mental Health Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC), which was revised this year, "In addition to individuals going to medical institutions for mental disorder diagnosis, close relatives of patients with suspected mental disorders can send them to medical institutions for mental disorder diagnosis & HELIP; … If a patient with a suspected mental disorder has an act of harming himself or endangering the safety of others, or is in danger of harming himself or endangering the safety of others, his close relatives, his unit and the local public security organ shall immediately take measures to stop it and send it to a medical institution for mental disorder diagnosis. "

　　Gao Beiling, chairman of the Professional Committee of Forensic Psychiatry of Guangdong Judicial Appraisal Association, explained to China Newsweek that at present, the definition of harming oneself and endangering the safety of others is very broad. "Health problems can also affect your own safety, and these are judged by professional doctors."

　　27-year-old college student

　　"I was withdrawn from childhood, my life was lazy, and I didn’t know how to take care of my personal hygiene. I was a loner during school. I quarreled with my teacher because of trivial matters, and I didn’t take the initiative to communicate with my classmates, so I got along badly. " This is what Liu Gang’s mother told the doctor Xu Mincong. This passage was said the day before Liu Gang was admitted to the hospital.

　　Liu Gang told China Newsweek that his mother had mental problems. In court, the judge asked Liu Gang’s mother whether there was any problem in intelligence. His mother replied irrelevantly, "I have a headache." This topic failed to continue.

　　His mother also mentioned that in 2009, Liu Gang was resting at home after graduating from high school and had a dispute with his neighbor because he parked his car in front of his door. After that, Liu Gang became suspicious, convinced that his neighbor had spilled dung on his doorstep, feeling unsafe at home, and even heard someone knocking at the door and calling his name out of thin air.

　　Regarding these contents, Liu Gangjun believes that it was fabricated by the hospital and the mother was deceived.

　　He said that after graduating from high school, he went to Zhejiang, did a lot of jobs, and wanted to make money by himself because he wanted to continue studying. What did he do? In which places in Zhejiang, he repeatedly interrupted the relevant questions in the interview. "This is too trivial, let’s put it at the end."

　　After working for five years, at the age of 27, he wanted to enter an undergraduate college in Sichuan and felt that he could not be buried. Finally, in the volunteers of several normal schools, as a supplementary record of Luoyang Normal University, it was recruited into the English Education Department of Foreign Languages College. These are the same as going to work in Zhejiang. He said that his mother didn’t know.

　　After three months in school, Liu Gang decided to drop out of school because he felt that the teaching level of the school was poor. However, the school’s statement is that some circumstances occurred during Liu Gang’s change of dormitory, which led the college to persuade him to drop out of school.

　　In the dormitory of the new campus, he reflected the smell of formaldehyde, which caused him to cough up blood and had to change the dormitory. Chang Hui, then deputy secretary of the Party branch of Foreign Languages Institute, coordinated Liu Gang to go to the dormitory of the old campus.

　　When I came home during the Spring Festival this year, my mother found that Liu Gang didn’t eat her own cooking, and kept washing her hands. She always said that the house was dirty. When she saw the garbage collector coming from a distance, she covered her nose and mouth, feeling that the air was bad and she felt chest tightness.

　　After the winter vacation, because the class is in the new campus, it is inconvenient for the shuttle bus to go back and forth every day. Liu Gang once again proposed to change back to the dormitory in the new campus. This time, he was arranged to live alone at No.3 Taoyuan.

　　In the description of the school, Chen Guanan said that Liu Gang was afraid to look directly at each other when talking to people, and he was sensitive, suspicious and alert. There are no friends around to communicate with, and in the process of transferring dormitory, there is a language conflict with the accommodation manager, and the other party is required to apologize. The boarding house has also helped him adjust his dormitory many times. All this was considered by Liu Gang as a malicious false accusation by Chen Guan ‘an.

　　During this period, Liu Gang did not go to the Academic Affairs Office for suspension or withdrawal. The school said that he contacted his father through the information of his student card, and no one answered. After getting through to my mother, I told her about the situation at school and asked her to come to school, but she was refused.

　　After the final exam, the school asked all the first-year students who didn’t have the task of teaching to go home, and Liu Gang has been in the dormitory.

　　On July 7, 2015, Song Guangxu, the head of the dormitory, called Chen Guanan to reflect the problem. Chen Guanan and counselor An Mingming went to the dormitory to find Liu Gang, and suggested going home to communicate with their families and help their mother.

　　Two days later, the boarding house called Chen Guanan again and told him that Liu Gang didn’t open the door or eat.

　　Chen Guan ‘an said that he called Liu Gang’s mother on the morning of July 10 and asked her to take Liu Gang home. He suggested consulting a psychologist for treatment. If the situation does not improve, she will drop out of school or drop out of school.

　　Liu Gang’s mother’s feedback is that Liu Gang doesn’t listen to her and she can’t help it.

　　Liu Gang told China Newsweek that before, he and his mother only talked on the phone once every half or one month, and his mother urged him to get married, so he didn’t want to communicate more.

　　In a court document, Liu Gang was married, divorced one month after marriage, and left home for two years.

　　"It is the first time to contact Chen Guan’ an when handling the overnight stay." Liu Gang repeatedly confirmed this point, stressing that he had never had any friction with the boarding house or classmates before.

　　The school provided the testimony of nine teachers and students, saying that they didn’t attend classes, refused to share the dormitory with others, got emotional at the slightest noise, had disputes with teachers and students and the boarding house many times, and threatened, "Don’t let any of them go … … Don’t let me see you, fight each other. "

　　China News Weekly contacted Wang Ran, a friend of Liu Gang’s in the same grade. He said that he had heard Liu Gang say that he didn’t like his dormitory very much, and another teacher often gave him little shoes. "There is no emotional excitement in contact, but it does not rule out that things mentioned by the school will happen."

　　"mental patient"

　　Three long-term doctor’s orders obtained by China Newsweek show that on the evening of July 20th, 2015, Xu Min prescribed relevant testing items, including psychiatric A and B scales, social function activity survey scale, positive symptoms and negative symptoms scale, etc.

　　In the record of "Impulsive Behavior Intervention Therapy", at 19: 35 on the same day, Liu Gang was emotionally unstable and restrained by both limbs. At 20: 35, his mood was relatively stable and he was released from restraint. In the PCU patient observation record, for four consecutive days, Liu Gang had records of uncooperative treatment, denial of illness, hallucinations, delusions, talkativeness and poor eating.

　　During his stay in hospital, Liu Gang thought he was frightened and his heart beat as high as 200 times per minute. This happened six times. And he can’t remember the exact time.

　　The last time was at noon, I fell asleep after taking the medicine and lay in bed, "falling into a feeling of dying."

　　"It seems that the sense of despair of drowning can only be heard in a vague voice," he described, waking up unable to move his limbs and thinking that he might die here. This reaction is attributed to the result of medication, and it is also thought that it may be due to electroconvulsive therapy.

　　He recalled to China Newsweek that he was struggling desperately, getting out of bed sideways and holding the wall to the nurse station. "The nurse was frightened. No one went to work at two o’clock. When I called a doctor, I first asked the male nurse to carry me to the bed for infusion. Later, they moved to the instrument and let them take medicine. "

　　"And every time you take the medicine, your head hurts, and it immediately knocks you out like a sap from the back of your head." Liu Gang said that in the ward, he took medicine three times a day. At noon, take the medicine after eating at 12: 30, and force the medicine if you don’t eat it. Then I will fall asleep until 2: 30, and I will be woken up by a loud noise speaker. "The nurse will kick the bed and wake up. If she can’t get up, she will drag it up and put it on the ground."

　　On a temporary medical list obtained by China News Weekly, the medical items prescribed by doctor Xu Mincong from July 23rd to August 11th, 2015 were recorded, during which four times of "multi-parameter monitoring five-convulsive electroconvulsive therapy" were performed, with an interval of four days each time.

　　Before electroconvulsive therapy, 100ml sodium chloride injection, 0.1g succinylcholine chloride injection, 100mg propofol injection and 0.5mg atropine sulfate injection were used.

　　"These are the functions of calming and reducing secretions." Gao Beiling, chairman of the Professional Committee of Forensic Psychiatry of Guangdong Judicial Appraisal Association, told China Newsweek that "electroconvulsive therapy must be agreed and signed by family members, because there are dangers that doctors can’t predict and they may be intolerant. A course of treatment is at least ten times, and there are many accidents. "

　　In Article 40 of the Mental Health Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC), "patients with mental disorders have or will have behaviors that harm themselves, endanger the safety of others and disrupt the medical order in medical institutions, and medical institutions and their medical staff can implement protective medical measures such as restraint and isolation without other alternative measures."

　　On October 14, 2015, Liu Gang was beaten by a care worker. He told China Newsweek that because a 19-year-old patient told him that he wanted to change wards, he reminded the patient that the other ward was too messy and there were often beatings, and the conversation was heard by the nurses, so he was punched.

　　According to the hospital, the cause of this contradiction is that Liu Gang bullied a patient.

　　Luoyang Mental Health Center stated in the defense of the first trial that "although the two had physical contact, the plaintiff (Liu Gang) was not injured. The agreement is a personal act and has nothing to do with the hospital. " Regarding the factual judgment of medical disputes, Luoyang Mental Health Center applied for judicial expertise. He refused further interview with China Newsweek on the grounds of ongoing legal proceedings.

　　Three-year rights protection

　　After leaving the hospital, Liu Gang felt that there were sequelae, such as hypertension, heart disease and myocardial infarction, but there was no inspection report to support the conclusion.

　　He went to the Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Science and Technology for identification. He only produced a diagnostic report of EEG topographic map, which showed that the subject was psychiatric depression, and the conclusion was signed by the doctor as "not mental illness".

　　Gao Beiling, chairman of the Professional Committee of Forensic Psychiatry of Guangdong Judicial Appraisal Association, said, "EEG topographic map can not be used as the basis for the diagnosis of mental illness, but can only diagnose epilepsy."

　　On January 8, 2016, Liu Gang said that he went to the Henan Provincial Department of Education to report. The reporter of China News Weekly saw a reply from the Disciplinary Committee of Henan Higher Education Institutions to the Disciplinary Committee of Luoyang Normal University that day, and wrote that Liu Gang reflected that he was forced to be treated by the school on the grounds of illness in the summer vacation of 2015 and suspended from school. "Please handle it properly and do the student’s work well."

　　Before reporting, Liu Gang called Chen Guan ‘an. "After he heard about it, he was willing to pay 8,000 yuan, let me send the bank card number and make money in the afternoon. Speaking of coming to school, he apologized to his face. I didn’t promise. After that, Chen Guanan said that it would take two or three days to get together so much money temporarily. Later, Yuan Caihong (secretary of the Party Committee of the Foreign Languages Institute) called and claimed that he would pay 2,000 yuan for himself, plus 4,000 yuan for scholarships and grants for difficulties. I always refused, and Yuan Caihong kept calling to persuade me not to go to the Education Department. "

　　After getting the reply from the Education Department, Liu Gang found the school discipline inspection commission. Without waiting for the leader, he gave feedback to the headmaster. "The principal informed Yuan Caihong that it was an internal contradiction in the Foreign Languages Institute, and Yuan Caihong and Chen Guanan rushed to the administration building."

　　Liu Gang said that he was taken to an office. He offered to pay 30,000 yuan for medical expenses, but the other party said that the college would give an answer the next day. He went back and never heard from him again.

　　Then, he received a phone call from his mother and cried to him. Chen Guanan called and said that if Liu Gang reported it again, he would look for the police station.

　　These contents left no objective evidence, and Luoyang Normal University refused to be interviewed on the grounds of ongoing legal procedures.

　　After that, Liu Gangzai Weibo publicized the matter in a big way, and was blocked for many times because of speech problems.

　　In November 2016, Wang Wanpeng, Yuan Caihong, deputy secretary of the Party Committee of Luoyang Normal University, and the director of the Student Affairs Office asked Liu Gang to say that the school did not know about this matter and it was Chen Guan’ an’s personal behavior. "They mainly expressed their condolences and apologies."

　　In December of that year, Chen Guanan was transferred from the School of Foreign Languages to the Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of the Law School.

　　A year later, Liu Gang went to his office to look for him, and wanted to videotape it to collect evidence for the lawsuit. Chen Guan ‘an called four security guards and robbed his mobile phone. This is the last time Liu Gang saw Chen Guanan face to face.

　　After that, in Liu Gang’s narrative, he went to court while working. He claimed that he had a job in Zhengzhou, but did not disclose what he did.

　　In a few days in Zhengzhou, he changed hotels continuously, and the hotel was found by lawyers and the media. Liu Gang repeatedly stressed to the media that anything that is unfavorable to him is fabricated.

　　(At the request of the interviewee, Liu Gang and Wang Ran are pseudonyms)

　　Sabah fruit, like a ball of wool, has rows of compact "match sticks" on the peel, which feels the same as touching a freshly shaved head; The banana industry’s "family bucket" of horn bananas, one top ten, guarantees that you can’t eat the second after eating one; The bullet-seed melon that will pop out its seeds when it matures, the sea bottom coconut that is vividly called "woman’s ass fruit", and the shampoo fruit that is said to have a faint violet fragrance even after eating it … … These fruits that you have never heard of once appeared on Yang Xiaoyang’s target list, and now they have become his "trophies". Their photos lie quietly in his computer, and only the owner of the photos, Yang Xiaoyang, knows how much bitterness was behind the "intimate encounter".

　　Yang Xiaoyang is 30 years old, and the title of "Fruit Hunter" has been with him for a long time. He has eaten more than 600 kinds of fruits, including more than 100 kinds of durian alone. Since he decided to be a "fruit hunter" in 2013, he has almost traveled to hundreds of rainforests in Singapore, Malaysia and other places, photographed hundreds of thousands of plants and witnessed more than 30,000 kinds of plants with his own eyes, accounting for almost 1/10 of the world. Although he seems to be a "fruit encyclopedia" now, in fact, his major in college is far from fruit — — Precision manufacturing.

　　Being a happy person who "dares to do what he likes" in the netizen’s mouth, Yang Xiaoyang said that the experience of looking for fruit is far from as easy as everyone imagined, and he is not a "rich second generation" who "eats 500,000 fruits at his own expense every year". On top of curiosity, his ultimate goal is to do his best to make some contributions to the protection of plant diversity.

　　The precision manufacturing engineer plunged into the botanical garden

　　The interview with Yang Xiaoyang was held in a coffee shop. A few days ago, the position of his circle of friends showed that he had once again "gone down to the rainforest" and "the place was Sumatra, Indonesia". This is obviously not the first close contact with the rainforest of Sumatra. This time, he photographed the Titan konjac (also known as "corpse konjac" because of its stench) that is about to bloom. A few years ago, he took a photo with the flowering Amorphophallus konjac. Facts have proved once again that it is a myth to say that it can "eat people" when it blooms, and it stinks only to attract insects to pollinate it.

　　Black-rimmed glasses, healthy wheat skin, and backpack. From the outside, Yang Xiaoyang is a typical "engineering male", slightly introverted and unsociable, but his eyes are shining when he talks about plants.

　　Yang Xiaoyang was born in rural Henan, and was brought up by his grandmother. His childhood without his parents made him somewhat withdrawn, but the flowers and plants in the fields gave him endless happiness. "When I was a child, I was barefoot in the fields, and I especially liked to see weeds. At that time, I felt that the grass was actually very beautiful." Yang Xiaoyang said that when he was very young, he observed that geranium seeds would roll, and later he read in books that it did.

　　After graduating from high school, Yang Xiaoyang chose to study in Singapore, majoring in precision manufacturing. Witnessed Singapore from "city garden" in the early years to "city in the garden" today, Yang Xiaoyang, who loved plants since childhood, was deeply touched by the progress of urban concept. After school, his favorite thing to do is to visit botanical gardens and nature reserves, which fully satisfies his desire for exploration and builds a basic understanding of plants in Southeast Asia. Stepping into the door of botany, Yang Xiaoyang wandered among them and enjoyed it, "like digging a treasure".

　　From machinery makers to plants, it seems that there is no boundary. However, in Yang Xiaoyang’s eyes, plants themselves are a very precise series of expressions. Every plant is a product, but its manufacturing is more advanced. It is alive and does not need human drive.

　　In 2013, Yang Xiaoyang, a college graduate, entered a local precision manufacturing enterprise in Singapore. In that year, Indonesia’s "Ba-burning Movement" got out of control, which led to the worst haze in Singapore’s history. Yang Xiaoyang said that this incident made him sad, because there may be many plant species that have not been discovered by the scientific community on those burned mountains.

　　After the haze disaster, Yang Xiaoyang quit his job as an engineer and went directly to the rainforest in kalimantan island, Indonesia, where he wanted to find his own direction. After more than ten days of rainforest exploration, he said that he couldn’t walk at all, and there were too many unknown plants waiting for him to discover. After that, he strengthened his belief in doing something for plant protection. Later, south china botanical garden of Chinese Academy of Sciences extended an olive branch to him, and he was determined to devote himself to plant introduction and conservation.

　　At the end of 2013, when I just returned to China, my friend gave Yang Xiaoyang a book "The Fruit Hunter" by Canadian Adam Reese goellner. Yang Xiaoyang thinks that the theme of this book is very well conceived, but from a professional point of view, there are many artistic processing elements, which are not the truth of science. In addition, there is no "fruit hunter" culture in China, so he decided to focus on the field of fruits from Southeast Asia.

　　Recover a life from the mouth of a python by "the golden eye of fire"

　　Since he decided to be a "fruit hunter" in 2013, he has almost traveled all over the important rainforests in Singapore and Malaysia. November of each year to February of the following year is the peak period of fruit hunting. He has to arrange his own itinerary according to the fruit period. He often runs out for a few days and is half dead. He comes back to sort out the information and rest for two days, and then starts again. Tragedy of making a trip in vain happens from time to time. Yang Xiaoyang told reporters that some time ago, he went to the Limeng area of Malaysia to look for a turtle durian. This durian is different from ordinary durian trees. Its fruit grows at the base of the trunk and looks like a group of turtles from a distance. Yang Xiaoyang was particularly excited. He told the local guide not to touch it in advance. He wanted to take a complete photo. However, the ripening season of the tortoise durian happened to be the Spring Festival in China. When he hurried there, all the fruits fell off. "It’s a week late, what a pity!"

　　Yang Xiaoyang’s "golden eyes" have been trained by drilling in the rainforest all the year round. He can search for his target like a scanner in a large lush rainforest, and even find new plant species in the roadside Woods in a speeding car. Therefore, he is often ridiculed by friends in the same plant circle: "These eyes are worth over 100 million yuan."

　　With these eyes, he once "picked up" a life. It was when he was looking for paramita in the tropical rain forest of Malaysia. From the sound of stepping on the leaves, he judged that it was a Malayan paramita. When he looked down at the fruit with his camera, an unusual object flashed by his feet. He subconsciously took a step back and looked intently. It was a baby python about three meters long. "I stayed there and didn’t dare to take pictures with the camera. The python was spitting letters and smelling my breath. If I stepped on it, I would be in trouble." Yang Xiaoyang said with a smile.

　　In addition to pythons, he also met crocodiles, clouded leopards, Sumatran tigers, bears, etc. In Yang Xiaoyang’s view, the most dangerous thing in the rainforest is to meet people — — Real hunters. "Poachers carry guns. They don’t care what I do. They killed me in the rainforest. No one knows." He said that in some countries, before going to inspect, they will report to the local public security bureau, and the police will send people with guns to protect these inspection teams, so that poachers dare not hurt them.

　　How can we find those target fruits in the vast virgin rainforest? Yang Xiaoyang told reporters that in addition to relying on his years of expertise in plant classification, searching according to the location recorded in plant specimens is also inseparable from the help of local guides. The guides grew up in the forest and knew a lot about all kinds of fruits, but later, it became more and more difficult to find the fruits he was looking for, and even the ancestors of the guides had never seen them. There will also be a situation where the guide stood him up. At that time, there was no time to find a second guide. What should I do? He had to bite the bullet and learn some Malay words in a week, so there was no problem in daily communication.

　　Another good way to find fruit is to "soak" in the local fruit market, which is another treasure land, where he first saw the loquat awn with lavender-eyed nuts. Another time, in order to find a kind of fruit, we need to have a good relationship with the local indigenous people, and we have to help the indigenous fruit vendors in the traditional market sell fruit. "Business is not bad, and the indigenous vendors next to us are jealous." Yang Xiaoyang enjoys it.

　　The fruit industry "Shennong" was accidentally poisoned.

　　Because of "occupational disease", every time Yang Xiaoyang finds a new fruit, he must first take photos carefully. If local laws allow it, seal it with a fresh-keeping bag and take it home, then carefully "dissect" it under the light, observe its seeds and pulp, and then taste it carefully. In most cases, the principle he follows is to try a small amount on the spot after taking photos. "Every time I find a new fruit, that kind of joy will resolve all the hard work on the road." Yang Xiaoyang’s taste buds have been hit again and again — — After eating it, lemons are all sweet mysterious fruits, rice cake fruits with milk flavor that feel "electric shock" when put in your mouth, Elaeagnus mollis Thunb, which is 3,000 times sweeter than sucrose, and snakeskin fruit & HELIP; … Of all, Yang Xiaoyang thinks that the most shocking thing is Jinguangguo. Although it looks like a meteor hammer, the aroma of fruit juice is ten times more delicious than that of strawberries.

　　Many people yearn for Yang Xiaoyang’s career, calling him "Shennong in the fruit industry", but in fact, he is very cautious about the fruit he has never eaten. In his words, "Otherwise, I may not be able to sit here and have tea and chat with you." In 2015, the world annona group led by him was inspected in a protected area in Guangdong, and experts found the ripe fruit of Guafu wood in the wild, which looked delicious. Experts began to taste it, and Yang Xiaoyang was moved when he saw it. First, he tried it with the tip of his tongue, no problem, and then he ate one. However, after a few minutes, he felt something was wrong, unable to speak, and his throat felt as uncomfortable as if he had been stabbed. Then he poured water and gargled wildly, but fortunately he didn’t eat much. After half an hour, he slowly recovered. Later, he learned that only some people are sensitive to guafu wood.

　　Shampoo fruit must be on every tropical fruit hunter’s hunting list, and many British nobles are eager to find this kind of fruit. This is a magical fruit. It is said that after eating it, it smells fragrant all over. Even sweating, urinating and farting have a faint violet fragrance. It is only distributed in Java, Indonesia, and is exclusively for the royal family in Indonesia. The fruit hunter who hasn’t eaten shampoo fruit is not a real fruit hunter. Yang Xiaoyang finally found it with great efforts, but because of the previous poisoning experience, he didn’t dare to eat more, just licked a few mouthfuls, went back to the hotel and drank more water. When he felt it, he closed the bathroom door, and he quietly waited for the fragrance to emanate, but he didn’t. "Maybe I ate too little, but I believe the legend about it is true."

　　Many fruits that Yang Xiaoyang found are rare or even endangered varieties, and many people will ask him where they found them. "I won’t expose these points casually, because I’m not sure what he wants to do, and he may destroy them. Only friends who are like-minded and know the roots will say it. "

　　Sea coconut is called "woman’s ass fruit" because of its unique shape. It is only produced in Seychelles, and the fruit ripens only once every few years, and now it is endangered. Therefore, even if it is hard to find the trace of sea coconut, Yang Xiaoyang will give up tasting it. Another time, in the rainforest of Sumatra, he found some round fruit Du Ying. The stone inside looked very familiar. It was "King Kong Bodhi", and a six-petal one in China would cost several hundred yuan. After struggling for a little while, he still picked up only a few of the hundreds of fruits that fell from the ground for dissection and souvenir.

　　There is no mine at home. I thought about opening a Taobao shop to sell durian to earn money.

　　How many people are eager for durian, how many people avoid it. Yang Xiaoyang is an out-and-out "durian control". He has tasted more than 100 kinds of durians, and even a circle of various durians is placed around the WeChat avatar. Before he went to Singapore to study in 2008, he had never tried this kind of fruit with special taste. The first time I ate durian was in the corner near a small vegetable market. The durian was sold by an uncle who was about 50 years old and had a cigarette in his chest. After wandering in front of the booth for a long time, he carefully asked, "Aren’t durians all smelly?"? Why is this taste fresh and has no smell at all? " Uncle’s words have made him unforgettable so far. "The real durian is not smelly, and only those who don’t understand durian think it stinks."

　　"A durian is as deep as the sea". Eating durian for the first time made him "happy and want to cry". Since then, he has made more friends who like durian and organized groups to look for delicious durian everywhere. The durian in Singapore couldn’t satisfy these senior durians, so they got a visa and set off for Penang, the legendary durian sanctuary. There, Yang Xiaoyang ate the old tree red shrimp durian, which can last for three months after a bite, as well as the famous Shanba durian, black thorn durian, centipede durian and Zhuge Liang durian & HELIP; …

　　Yang Xiaoyang said that in fact, everyone’s understanding of durian in China is very shallow. For example, durian with an opening is mature, which is obviously a misunderstanding. Durian’s opening statement shows that it is not fresh. There is a single variety of durian in China, and the most famous one may be the golden pillow durian. If let Yang Xiaoyang score, out of 100 points, Golden Pillow Durian can only get 15-20 points. There are at least 600 varieties of durian in Southeast Asia. Why are so many varieties with better taste rarely seen in China? In Yang Xiaoyang’s view, it is precisely because we have few choices that we have misunderstandings about durian, thinking that golden pillows are the best. When durian growers see this situation, they will expand their planting, and gradually other varieties of durian will become less and less.

　　Yang Xiaoyang wants to write a monograph on durian, which has not been done in China. His original intention is to let more people realize the diversity and beauty of durian through popular science. He doesn’t want to see more and more durian varieties die out because of the market. For the public, what we can do is to understand the diversity of durian, so as to choose independently and guide the market. After that, everyone will know more about the diversity of fruits, vegetables, food and so on, which will invisibly urge the public to protect the diversity of the whole plant kingdom. This is the mission behind the "fruit hunter" and the ultimate goal he has been pursuing.

　　After Yang Xiaoyang’s experience went through a hot search, many people questioned it. As the media said, "Looking for fruit costs hundreds of thousands a year at their own expense". Is this afraid that there is no mine at home? He told reporters that he is separated from the "rich second generation" by ten Java islands, and the cost of being a "fruit hunter" is quite high. If all of them are taken by themselves, there are indeed hundreds of thousands. But many times, the search for fruit is linked with scientific investigation, and the local scientific investigation needs a plant taxonomist like him, which can bear a large part of the expenses. He even thought about opening a Taobao shop and selling durians to make money when it could not be maintained. In his first popular science book "Fruit Hunter in Southeast Asia", Yang Xiaoyang wrote: "I fantasize that I turned into a durian tree at night, standing proudly in the vast tropical rain forest, quietly watching the vicissitudes of life."

　　Why didn’t such a good movie attract attention?

　　The documentary "Dragon and Tiger Martial Master" and "They are Young in 1950" continued with high reputation and low box office.

　　Recently, two high-quality documentary films, The Master of Dragon and Tiger and They Are Young in 1950, have been released one after another. Although both of them have achieved high online ratings, they can be described as horrible at the box office. For the ordinary audience, it is still difficult to attract them into the cinema by recording movies.

　　"Dragon and Tiger Martial Master" directed by Wei Junzi was released on August 28th, and so far it has only made 970,000 yuan at the box office. Some netizens described the film as "an elegy of Hong Kong action movies, and a deep look back on the golden age of Hong Kong action movies." On the day of the film’s release, only 2.1% of the cinemas arranged films, and the attendance rate was as low as 1.2%. Directed by Song Kunru, "They were Young in 1950" was released on September 3rd. The film tells the memories and recent situation of 26 veteran volunteers. The online score was as high as 8.7, and it only made 2.03 million yuan at the box office in five days. On September 5, the film announced that it would donate 227,000 yuan from the two-day box office to a non-profit organization with national legal qualifications to help volunteers veterans. The official Weibo wrote: "They fought for us in the past, and we donated for them today!" Touching.

　　■ "Rescue" shooting is priceless.

　　Coincidentally, both excellent documentary films were started under the drive of the director’s personal feelings. Wei Junzi, the director of Master of Dragon and Tiger, is a specialist in Hong Kong films. When he was a film critic, he met filmmakers such as Tsui Hark and Yuan Heping, and then gradually transformed into a filmmaker, making films such as daoist magic. Shooting Master of Dragon and Tiger originated from an agreement he made with Hong Kong actor Qian Jiale in 2017, and it was also a release of his personal feelings after studying Hong Kong action movies for many years. It took him more than two years to come back and run 50 or 60 times in Hong Kong, and finally he finished filming. The film was made with Wei Junzi’s own money, and some pictures involved copyright issues. Although they were precious, the price was high, so we had to give them up reluctantly. Wei Junzi was psychologically prepared for the film’s low box office. "Documentaries have a certain threshold for watching movies, or are they too small for the public. People who come to the cinema are all post-70s and post-80s. They have feelings for Hong Kong movies, but they are not the main consumers now. "

　　So is Song Kunru, the director of "They Are Young in 1950", who has been shooting commercial advertisements before. At first, he came into contact with a public welfare project and met three or four disabled veterans. At that time, he wanted to simply record the words of the veterans, but in the process of doing this, friends around him constantly recommended veterans to him, and the number continued to increase. After the film project was established, he was supported by the Department of Veterans Affairs, which strengthened his determination to make this film. Song Kunru wanted to find a professional documentary team to shoot, but failed for various reasons, and finally went on his own. At the premiere, he admitted that the crew was too poor to even pay for publicity. What supported him and the team was his personal feelings and his passion for the subject.

　　Both films belong to "rescue" shooting. With Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and other Hong Kong action filmmakers getting old, the industry of "Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts" has gradually declined. In addition to interviewing Sammo Hung, Yuan Heping, Cheng Xiaodong, Yuan Wah, Donnie Yen, Qian Jiale and other stars, "Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts" focuses on dozens of unknown dragon and tiger martial arts masters who have worked hard to create brilliance for Hong Kong action movies, allowing them to leave their personal images on the big screen orally, which is of great historical value.

　　The audience was lucky enough to enjoy the elegance of these martial artists in Dragon Tiger Warrior. The most thrilling thing was that when Sammo Hung directed Heart of the Dragon in 1985, Jackie Chan and other eight actors jumped from the seventh floor at the same time when it exploded. At that time, Weiya was not hung, and the camera was shot to the end without editing. For this reason, actor Qian Jiale almost fell to his death. There are a lot of such precious pictures in the film, which are rare to see.

　　"They were Young in 1950" is also a rescue shooting technique. Song Kunru, the director, said that the youngest volunteer soldier who entered the DPRK was 86 years old, and some old people died soon after the filming was finished, so it was very valuable to leave their images on the big screen. The film uses the personal perspective of these veterans and tells their war stories orally. In the seemingly calm eyes of the old people, there is a thread of the past. A netizen sighed with emotion: when watching the movie, I seemed to sit next to my grandparents and listen to their stories of that year. Another netizen said, "I feel very relieved to see this documentary, because I see that some people are still doing very sincere things."

　　■ "Going to the Internet" to find a bosom friend

　　Although the evaluation of the two films is extremely high, the box office of the films has given the answer. For ordinary audiences, there is still a lack of motivation to let them enter the cinema.

　　In recent years, many similar documentary films have been released, but only "Twenty-two" directed by Guo Ke really made many viewers buy tickets, which was released in 2017 and finally made a box office of 170 million yuan. The film also uses the oral history of 22 comfort women and elderly people. It must be said that the promotion of this film, the first "comfort women documentary" in China, has played a great role in boosting the box office.

　　It’s not easy to record a movie and get a high box office in the cinema. According to statistics, in 2019, the total box office of 23 documentary films released in the mainland was less than 150 million yuan, which was less than the box office of the film Twenty-two. Among the films released this year, documentary films such as Freehand Rock Climbing, Four Springs, Sakamoto Ryuichi: The Final Song and After Zero have a high reputation. However, the highest-grossing "Freehand Rock Climbing" only earned 36 million yuan.

　　From the analysis of audience types, Dragon and Tiger Martial Master and They Are Young in 1950 attract a specific audience type. Most of the audience of Master Dragon and Tiger are interested in Hong Kong action movies. In 1950, many of the audience’s grandfathers were soldiers, or participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. When watching the movie, they easily put their feelings into their loved ones. The film reviews they wrote also mentioned the past of their grandfathers.

　　Documentary films can easily resonate with specific audiences because of their authenticity and relevance to real life. To some extent, its evaluation criteria should be distinguished from feature films. Feature films focus on stories and visual effects, while documentaries are best at being true and profound.

　　From the shooting method, both films are oral interviews, and then the conversations of these people are edited together. In the way of telling the story, this is a very simple way to shoot, and its difficulty lies in being able to interview people smoothly, and the interviewee is willing to speak his mind. List-based dictation can easily lead to monotonous pictures, and the story lacks overall suspense and conflict. Unlike drama films, the story is ups and downs, and there are visual wonders on the picture that impact the eye. If you are not interested in these subjects, there will be certain obstacles to watching movies.

　　In fact, documentary films such as "Dragon and Tiger Martial Master" and "They were young in 1950" have a very suitable channel besides long-term screening in specially designated art theaters, that is, online screening. Because of the particularity and niche of the audience, it is difficult to gather the audience in the big screen screening, especially in big cities, and there is no such problem in the network screening. At present, "Dragon Tiger Martial Master" has been announced to be launched in iQiyi on September 11th. I believe that "They Are Young in 1950" will be online soon.
