Husband of China’s First Cryopreserved Woman Faces Backlash Over New Relationship

He preserved his wife in 2017 under a 30-year cryonics agreement with a Shandong institute.

Overview

  • Gui Junmin, 57, arranged experimental cryopreservation for his wife, Zhan Wenlian, after a late-stage lung cancer diagnosis under Yinfeng’s program with Qilu Hospital.
  • Recent coverage highlights online criticism after he began dating Wang Chunxia, whom he met in 2020 following a debilitating gout attack.
  • Gui has called the partnership “utilitarian,” said Wang has not yet entered his heart, and stressed that Zhan remains irreplaceable.
  • Reports note Yinfeng’s trials offered free procedures to early volunteers as part of its hospital-linked research.
  • Articles differ on whether Zhan was preserved after legal death or following the diagnosis, with no new medical or legal updates reported.
