is a movie, we see that there are countless "ma Laosi" around us. The plot of the movie is actually very simple. It mainly tells the hard but hopeful life of a rural couple from the northwest.
Husband Ma Youtie is an honest and honest older single rural man, but his wife is an adult living a life of disgust at his brother's and sister-in-law's house due to illness.
Although he lived a very poor life, Ma Youtie did not dislike his wife's disability. On the contrary, he worked diligently in farming, raised a nest of chickens, and even wanted to save money to treat his wife's illness.
But the boss who received grain in the village needed a lot of blood transfusion due to a strange disease. The only matching Ma Youtie started to donate blood to the boss for free. The purpose is to hope that the boss will get better soon and be able to delay the payment of grain to the whole village. .
Regrettably, the good days did not last long. The village was faced with the paid demolition of empty houses. Ma Laotie and Guiying were about to become homeless, so they decided to build their own house. Unfortunately, his wife fell into the river in an accident and flooded. die.
The ending of the story seems to be very secret. Ma Youtie released the donkey who once depended on him, tore down the house they built by themselves, killed the chickens they hatched and raised together, and sold the food they grew together. .
finally inserted a sentence ----- "In the winter of 2011, with the help of the government and enthusiastic villagers, the old four horses have iron, moved to a new house and lived a new life".
But the question is, does the pesticide at the end of the film also explain another ending of Ma Laosi?
What is the pesticide on the table?
Careful people may find that after his wife's death, Ma Laotie's hopes for life have also been dashed, and the one egg that he is not willing to eat in his life is finally a medicine to suppress paraquat .
Someone said: Ma Laosi finally suppressed the pain of pesticides with eggs that he was reluctant to eat all his life.
is a kind of pesticide. In order to prevent people from taking it by mistake, paraquat added odorant and emetics, but it still can't stop people from taking this method to end their lives, and eventually died painfully in just a few days.
How did paraquat kill people?
Paraquat (Paraquat), also known as Balali , is a fast killing herbicide with contact killing effect and certain systemic effect.
However, this pesticide is extremely toxic to humans, and there is no specific antidote. The lethal dose of a 20% aqueous solution for adults is about 5-15 mL (1~3 g) or about 40 mg/kg , even if the skin is long-term. Exposure to paraquat solutions can also be fatal.
Therefore, as the herbicide with the highest mortality rate of acute poisoning in humans, as early as July 2016, my country has banned the sale and use of paraquat, but cases of death due to drinking paraquat are not uncommon.
The most frightening thing is actually the lung injury
Clinically, the vast majority of patients are eventually "suffocated" alive, because the most typical feature of this pesticide is that it will damage the patient's lungs, resulting in lung damage There are fibrosis in some tissues. In the initial stage of
, the patient may just feel breathing difficulties. As the disease progresses, the respiratory distress will become more and more obvious, and eventually the lungs completely lose the ability to breathe, resulting in the patient's death due to hypoxia.
According to the data survey, after oral paraquat poisoning, the mortality rate of patients is as high as 95%. Just need less than 10ml of paraquat , it will make a strong and healthy young man, in a short period of time. Lost his life in a few days. Even if the dosage of
is extremely low and the hospital is sent to the doctor in a timely manner, it may not be able to save the patient's life.
Judging from the successful rescue cases of paraquat taking in the long-term, the patient even saved his ownLife and lung function have already been damaged to varying degrees. The quality of life in the later stage is far from being on a par with that of healthy people, and the long-term survival of patients has also been significantly shortened.
was drunk with discontinued pesticides, what should I do?
The state prohibits the sale and use of paraquat in China, which has also created a problem - "You can't stop selling kitchen knives because kitchen knives can kill people" It should "leave a way out" for paraquat.
But at a higher level, the country judges from the perspective of caring for human life and the life safety of consumers and users, paraquat cannot be used in the current environment.
only has people's bans and taboos on it, at least to a certain extent, lowering the threshold of suicide, reducing impulsive people to take an irreversible step effortlessly.
cherish life, fear life, let more people like Ma Laosi be treated kindly!
