Is the story about the reincarnation of a strange man in Hainan true?

Not true.

People's Daily Online has reported on this, saying it is full of doubts and not credible.

A media in Hainan Province reported that a "reincarnated strange man" lived in a village in Dongfang City in the province. The report was reprinted by many domestic media and caused quite a stir across the country.

This legendary "reincarnated man" is called Tang Jiangshan, 26 years old this year, and a native of Bumo Village, Gancheng Town, Dongfang City. It is said that when he was more than 3 years old, he said that he was not an Oriental, but a native of Huangyu Village, Xinying Town, Danzhou. He was beaten to death in a fight during the "Cultural Revolution" and was later reincarnated in Bumo Village.

Tang Jiangshan is a young man who is only 26 years old. When the reporter contacted him, he felt that his thoughts were relatively simple. He was directed by adults in a farce since he was a child, and he also recognized his identity as different from ordinary people from the myths passed down by others.

As a simple rural person, he did not use his "reincarnation" identity to commit illegal fraud. After he recognized his relatives in his "previous life", he really got along with them as kinship, even in " In the previous life, when my father passed away, I was also busy performing filial piety. However, his behavior objectively created a false myth.

Several major doubts about the reincarnation of strange people

Suspicious point 1: Birth is a "ball"

It is said that 9 children were born Tang Jiangshan's mother said that Tang Jiangshan was different from other normal children when he was born. He was a "ball" that didn't cry and could roll. The reporter interviewed a doctor from the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of the Provincial Hospital and learned that when the child is in the mother's belly, it is wrapped by a layer of fetal membrane. The fetal membrane is a layer like a transparent plastic bag, and the child relies on its protection to survive. .

When the child was born, the fetal membranes ruptured and the amniotic fluid came out before the child was born. However, some children have membranes that are not ruptured when they are born, but then rupture them after birth. Doctors from the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of the Provincial Hospital said that it is normal for newborns to have a "ball" shape similar to Tang Jiangshan.

Doubt 2: A mysterious old lady

In the interview, we learned that at the beginning of this "reincarnation" legend, there is always a mysterious and enthusiastic old lady.

According to existing reports: When Tang Jiangshan was 5 years old, an aunt from Xinying Town, Danzhou came to Bumo Village to do a small business. He heard that she spoke Danzhou dialect, so he used Danzhou dialect. He told her that he was from Xinying and lived in Huangyu Village, and asked her to take him to Huangyu Village. The aunt felt strange and refused to take him, so he chased her out of the entrance of Bumo Village.

A villager introduced that this enthusiastic aunt heard Tang Jiangshan say that he was originally from Danzhou, so she helped him search for his previous family in Xinying Town, but could not find it. Later, she learned about what happened in Huangyu Village. What happened to Chen Mingdao coincided with Tang Jiangshan's characteristics. Some villagers said that when Tang Jiangshan went to Huangyu Village to recognize his relatives, this old lady also accompanied him. This aunt was about 50 or 60 years old 20 years ago and is said to have passed away now.

It is now unknown what this old lady said and how she acted in the process of searching for the "past life" family of the young Tang Jiangshan, but she played an important role in "pulling the needle and threading the thread" that cannot be ignored. effect. Maybe "the speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional", maybe what a five or six-year-old child talks about is the message she conveys.

Doubt 3: Can’t speak Danzhou dialect

The dialects of Dongfang City and Danzhou City are completely different, and generally people in these two places cannot understand each other. words. Existing reports say that what is strange about Tang Jiangshan is that he lived in the East when he was a child, but he can speak Danzhou dialect fluently.

Regarding this issue, the reporter asked Tang Jiangshan’s parents in the East, and his father said: “I can talk about it.” In Huangyu Village, Danzhou City, village cadre Zhao Yuchang and many villagers present said, “Reincarnation. "Chen Daoming can't speak Danzhou dialect, but he may understand Danzhou dialect later. A villager said that he saw with his own eyes the scene when Tang Jiangshan was welcomed into the village, which confirmed that Tang Jiangshan did not speak Danzhou dialect at that time.

The reporter met Tang Jiangshan in Haikou on the 25th. When asked about this issue, he said that when he was a child, he spoke Danzhou dialect fluently. When he grew up, he could not speak it well, but he could understand it.

Doubt 4: I don’t know that my name is Chen Mingdao

Existing reports have written that when Tang Jiangshan was three or four years old, he told his father many times that he was not an Oriental. His home is in Danzhou, and his name is Chen Mingdao.

When the reporter interviewed Huangyu Village in Danzhou, some villagers recalled that Tang Jiangshan did not know his name in his previous life when he was a child, but only "remembered" that he was originally from Danzhou.

That's why the enthusiastic aunt helped to inquire and search in Xinying Town and Huangyu Village.

Doubt 5: The premonition is incorrect

Existing reports say that "Tang Jiangshan had a premonition when he was five or six years old. (Chen Mingdao) His mother was no longer alive, but his father was still there. , has become a lonely old man. In my previous life, I had two elder sisters and two younger sisters, and I was the only one born. At this time, my elder sisters and younger sisters were all married. I felt that my father was in a very difficult situation, so I decided to look for him. ”

Accurate interviews revealed that this premonition was wrong, because Chen Mingdao’s mother had passed away when he was one year old. Chen Mingdao turned out to be the only son in the family, with no brothers or sisters. Just a few cousins ??and cousins.

Doubt 6: Only a few people were identified on the spot

It is said that when Tang Jiangshan came to Huangyucun to recognize his relatives at the age of 6, he identified many good friends from his previous life on the spot and called them by name. , these friends were already middle-aged people in their thirties and forties. He then walked around the village and pointed out where he had played in the village. This process is said to be very miraculous, and it is also one of the important reasons why people believe in the "reincarnation of strange people".

During the interview in Huangyu Village, the reporter asked if there were any villagers in the village who were identified by Tang Jiangshan at that time. None of the dozens of villagers present could recall who had been identified. They recalled that they only identified certain people and said they were his friends in previous lives, but they did not call them by name.

The reporter asked if these people can be found now? So some villagers said that it seemed that only one person was identified as his friend at that time, and now this person is no longer alive.

Doubt 7: The place where they were beaten to death is wrong

According to rumors, eight villagers including Chen Mingdao were beaten to death on their way back when they went out to buy diesel. Later, Tang Jiangshan When I went to Danzhou to recognize my relatives and passed the place where I was beaten to death, I couldn't help but feel scared. Through interviews with Chen Mingdao's cousin Chen Junzhu and Zhao Guangbao, a survivor of the attack that year with Chen Mingdao, the reporter learned that Chen Mingdao was not beaten to death on the way "back", but was killed at a port on the way there. He was beaten to death as soon as he got off the boat.

In an interview with reporters, Tang Jiangshan also said that when he was playing around in Danzhou when he grew up, he passed the place where Chen Mingdao was beaten to death. When I was 6 years old, I didn’t pass that place on my way to recognize my relatives and many subsequent visits to Huangyu Village. So how could I feel any fear?

Doubtful point 8: No identification of the grave

According to legend, Tang Jiangshan came to Danzhou to recognize his relatives. There is no need to lay out the cards anymore. Then he went to the tomb where Chen Mingdao was buried and told his relatives that there would be no need to sweep the place for sacrifices in the future. Was it Tang Jiangshan himself who identified Chen Mingdao's grave? Chen Mingdao's cousin recalled that it was their relatives who took Tang Jiangshan to Chen Mingdao's burial place and told him.

Tang Jiangshan did not deny this process when interviewed by reporters. He said that later he did not dare to go to the cemetery where Chen Mingdao was buried, and he always felt a little scared.

Suspicious Point 9: The scars are suspicious

It is said that the scars on Tang Jiangshan’s body are the same as the stab wounds on Chen Mingdao’s body when he was beaten to death. Chen Mingdao was hit with a knife in the back of the head and in the left abdomen One knife and one bullet passed through the left back near the stab wound on the left abdomen. When the reporter met Tang Jiangshan, he carefully observed the imprint left by his "previous life" experiences.

Under his ribs on the left side, if you look carefully, you can vaguely see a linear mark about 8 centimeters long. Next to the mark, there is a round white mark as big as the cross section of a cigarette butt. It is this line mark and the small white mark that has become one of the evidences that everyone firmly believes in.

So are there any other marks left on Tang Jiangshan from his previous life? According to him, there was a mark on the big toe of his right foot when he was a child, but it disappeared later;

In addition, he originally had two dark marks on his face under the cheekbones. I don’t know who passed by and examined Chen Mingdao during his lifetime. Further understanding helped him find the answer: because Chen Mingdao occasionally wore a pair of glasses back then, these two dark marks probably represent the traces of wearing glasses in his previous life. Even Tang Jiangshan himself was unwilling to agree with this statement, so he had already tried to get rid of these two secret seals.

Regarding these marks, the reporter interviewed a doctor from the Provincial Hospital. According to reports, anyone may have marks on their body when they are born. Such marks should be a kind of skin pigmentation or congenital inheritance. Some marks are also It may be caused by the day after tomorrow. Some marks will slowly fade over time, while some can stay for a long time.

Doubt 10: The memory of the 6-year-old is not trustworthy

The theory of Tang Jiangshan’s reincarnation is traced back to his words when he was 3 years old. More importantly, he had a conversation when he was 6 years old. A "convincing" recognition process. Twenty years later, he can still tell in detail what happened on the day he recognized his family. How credible is the experience he recounted?

Xiang Wei, director of the Second Department of Pediatrics at Hainan Provincial Hospital, said that it is possible for people to have memories when they were 6 years old, but as an ordinary person, if he does not go through a special process of learning and strengthening and memory consolidation, he will not be able to remember when he grows up. The memory of oneself when he was 6 years old can only be vague fragments. It is generally impossible to have a complete memory, and it is impossible to remember in detail what he said or what specific things he did on a certain day when he was 6 years old.

A rumor from 20 years ago was recently "confirmed" by the media, increasing people's belief in this absurd farce. This "reincarnation" legend that has been slowly forgotten by people has been stirred up again, not only in the local area, but also in some places outside the province. Many people copied the report and sold it on the streets, and people's hearts were swayed. Now we see that the "reincarnated strange man" himself is also radiating confidence, inspiring his fantasy, hoping that in this capacity he can solve the current dilemma of life.

The birth of myth requires a certain social and cultural foundation. The two villages of Dongfang City and Danzhou City have been relatively closed and backward for a long time. These two neighboring cities have unique local dialects. It is not easy to find a few people who can speak Mandarin and Hainanese in one village. The reporter took the bus from Xinying Town to Huangyu Village. The flight attendants didn’t even understand Hainanese or Mandarin, so they needed someone to translate.

During the reporter's interview, all the villagers present expressed their "deep belief" in the theory of "reincarnation", but no one heard what Tang Jiangshan said or saw with his own eyes what Tang Jiangshan said when he was 6 years old. Acknowledging relatives. It's a pity that more people don't investigate the authenticity of this matter. For 20 years people seem to have started this myth with "I heard".

The old villagers said "I heard it"; the young villagers said "I heard it from the old people in the village"; Tang Jiangshan said "I heard it from the adults when I was young"; the people outside the village said "I heard that from other people."

“A lie will become the truth if repeated a thousand times.” The effect of following what others say is significant. What's more, it is a legend that has been circulating for 20 years, and the original flaws are often made up for in the legend.
