"Despite his hopes of one day thawing her remains - after being submerged in 2,000 liters of liquid nitrogen - to allow her to live once more, there's still no scientific evidence that cryogenically preserved bodies could ever be resurrected. According to estimates, there are around 600 people who have been cryopreserved, but whether any of them will have the chance to tell the tale is anything but certain."
"Junmin lived by himself for two years after his wife's body was frozen, but started dating once again in 2020. He concluded that living by yourself is simply too dangerous after experiencing a severe gout attack, he says. "If something really happens to a person when they are alone, there is nothing they can do," he told Southern Weekly, A Guangzhou-based newspaper, as quoted by the SCMP."
Gui Junmin cryogenically froze his wife, Zhan Wenlian, after she died from lung cancer in 2017 and signed a 30-year agreement with the Shandong Yinfeng Life Science Research Institute to keep her on ice. Wenlian became China's first cryogenically preserved person after the institute had partnered with Shandong University in 2015 and offered free procedures to early volunteers. Her remains are submerged in 2,000 liters of liquid nitrogen pending hopes of future revival, though there is no scientific evidence that cryopreserved bodies can be resurrected. Around 600 people have been cryopreserved, experts warn freezing live tissues typically ruptures cell membranes. Junmin lived alone for two years, suffered a severe gout attack, and began dating again in 2020 because living alone felt unsafe.
