My Health

 

I am relatively healthy before coming to Huzhou, but things have been changed a little here.

Since I went to university at the age of 15 in 1978, I have never been stopping taking sports, whether in schools or at work. Sports take various forms, depending the availability of the environment. And since coming to Huzhou, I also continued with my sport, as it’s a vital part of my life. But somehow my health was a bit weakened in this period due to various reasons, possibly out of worries about my life and partly because lack of sport and nutrition.

For example on Oct 1, 2011, I realized that I have been feeling dizzy the last couple of days. The problem was short of sleeping. I wake up at 4:00 in early morning and get up slightly later, work 12 hours a day on the computer, do less sport than before – only slightly more than a hour of jogging while before it was 3 to 4 hours a day – and malnurishment. All together lead to weakness and faintness. And I vowed that from now on my life shall return to normal – sleep until 7 am in the morning, go to bed before 11 pm in the evening and work no more than 6 hours a day on computer, and do exercise 3 hours a day.

Yet my body was not as strong as before, and less than one month and two weeks later, on Nov 12, 2011, I was caught by a fever. I guessed perhaps because I have too little on my bed, or I wore too little while going out, or perhaps I was to fatigued some days, or perhaps my immune system was weakened these days out of malnutrition, lack of outdoor activities etc, I was attacked by a sudden fever – this time quite heavy indeed. I slept a whole night and a day to recover from it. Of course as always, I never went to hospital, nor taking any medicine. I firmly believe my body immune system – if it works normally – shall help to recover my health pretty soon and in full.

However, while I was barely recovered from the flu, in less than two weeks I was caught by another flu on Nov 26, 2011. I might be caught by a flu because my throat has been thoring over the last couple of days, or because a fish bone stuck in my throat. Normally I can recover a cold through a night’s sleep or by drinking several cups of hot water. But this time the aching lasted longer, perhaps I was wearing to little while exposed to strong wind when climbing mountains or I’ve too little cover on my bed.

While the flu and fever were recovered sooner or later, on May 3, 2012, I have to say the my voice cord has never been completely recovered ever since early 1996 when it was damaged. I can talk only difficultly and cannot breath long. The problem gets better when I am strong and worse if I am tired. There is no cure as doctors said many years ago.

And again, fevers and flus occurred to me in August 2012, more often than I was in Hangzhou and elsewhere.

In early December, I found a bump on my left pubis, I guessed it was caused by tiredness, anger, fright, hunger after a journey to Wuxi, and when I treaded on a stool in a bus station out of despair not able to find a taxis to take me back home, while my sister also refused to take me home. 20 days after this incident the bump was still there. If I touched it, I could feel a bit pain and it has the tendency to extend and enlarge to nearby areas. I have no money nor willingness to go to hospital and therefore the only I can do was to observe its development, rest and better nutrition.  

On Dec 21, 2012, I said my health was much worse than before and flu and fever occurred to me as often as can. Almost every two months there will be a fever. Before – however I was exposed to cold weather, could I not be caught by fever. Last Friday, returning to a gathering organized by Tan Miaofang, I was caught by a fever again, the next day. I didn’t know why. Plus the occurrence and aggravation of the pubis bump, I felt very sad and miserable. Nowadays my life quality was far worse than before, with severe malnutrition, and adding the diminution of sports and the bad mode, all these lead to the sloping of my health status. I have to take some measures immediately to sop this trend, otherwise I might be faced with severe health crisis, or I was already so.

Although the pubis bump was almost disappeared at the end of December, 2012, there came a much severer and more terrible health problem: this time the stomach bleeding in the early morning of January 15, 2013. I lost lots of blood and I was nearly killed this morning. I dared not to tell my mother and other family members, and I only told my friend in Huzhou, who came to me four days later and advised me to seek advice by doctors. But I did not go to hospital, because I am sure that if GOD let me live, I will live and if GOD want to die, I will die, no doctors can change this fact.

 

Over the past years I’ve been able to maintain myself basically in a healthy status, and I am exercising regularly – every day during the school and university days and almost regularly since graduation from the university. And ever since 2002 or 2003, I have been keeping climbing mountains almost every day to refresh myself. In this world, I like mountains the most, not money, not high positions, and even not sciences.

 

I will keep my vegetarian diet, stay away from fat and high calories.

I will endeavor to make myself as strong as possible, even at the cost of anything else such as job and money.

 

My Throat Severely Damaged -1996--2010

However, I do occasionally get some illness. For exam[le in February 1996 my throat was severely damaged and I was unable to talk to people so that my entire life and career were completely ruined. I could recover from it only recently after more than 13 years, thank GOD! Nevertheless, some companies still admitted me and offered me nice jobs, GOD bless them! Among them Alstom and Deutsche Babcock.

 

And now I spend more than 3 hours a day on sport or exercises, incl. 45 min. morning walking or biking, 1.5 mountain climbing in the afternoon and another 45 min. evening exercise of fitness devices outdoors. Occasionally I also participate in Alpinist group’s activities.

I used to play basketball every day at time of university and long running was my everyday must – 5000 meter a day. Later at Daya Bay, I played tennis everyday for 2 years.

I have also learned table tennis, volley ball and other sports like others, but seldom practiced since graduation.

I will keep exercising to the extremity – as much as possible. At the moment the main sport is mountain climbing. Plus morning, and evening fitness.

I will keep my vegetarian diet, stay away from fat and high calories.

I will endeavor to make myself as strong as possible, even at the cost of anything else such as job and money.

I have been troubled with some other minor ailments such as teeth aching from time to time etc, but they don't impact on my life too much.

 

VOICE PROBLEM

  • In early 1996 my voice was damaged,
  • otherwise I was ready to switch to GE Shanghai as a regional manager and
  • my career was going up like a rocket at that time.
  • There was no explanation as to how the voice cord was damaged,
  • but for sure this has prevented my career from further development,
  • though I still have managed to get jobs at Alstom and Babcock,
  • but the situation in general was pessimistic,
  • as I was having extreme difficulty communicating with others,
  • and even my private life was affected greatly.
  • This illness has been fatal until a few years ago.
