A young boy who underwent a heart transplant surgery sat by his bed giggling and appeared mentally dazed after the operation. His family invited a Taoist priest to perform a ritual, who claimed that the boy's older brother, who had passed away over a year ago, was playing with him. In another case, although the heart transplant surgery was successful, the prognosis was poor with poor heart function. The family sought divine guidance and were told that the heart donor, who died in a car accident, was unwilling and wanted to reclaim his own heart.

Wei Zheng, the head of the cardiology department at Zhenxing Hospital, who has performed over 250 heart transplants in his more than 30 years of medical practice, has compiled his private stories into a new book titled "Alive to Heaven." One of the chapters, "Souls Lingering in the ICU," includes supernatural phenomena beyond medical expertise that even renowned doctors cannot explain.

Wei Zheng mentioned that both the young boy and his brother suffered from a rare heart disease. The older brother passed away before he could receive a heart transplant, while the younger brother finally found a suitable heart and successfully underwent the transplant. The surgery was very successful, and the younger brother recovered quickly, soon able to get out of bed and walk around. However, he often sat by his bed giggling, completely ignoring others' questions, a condition that lasted for several days.

All physiological data indicated that his bodily functions had recovered, and psychiatric consultations could not find the cause. Wei Zheng said he once suspected whether the donor's soul had transferred to the younger brother.

Seeing the situation was not right, the boy's mother requested the hospital to allow a Taoist priest to perform a ritual in the ward to investigate. As the medical team was at a loss, they finally agreed. Unexpectedly, after the priest performed the ritual, the boy regained consciousness that very day. According to the priest, as soon as he entered, he saw a young boy by the bed amusing the patient. The priest rang a bell and performed a ritual to take away the older brother's spirit, and the younger brother immediately improved.

Wei Zheng said that when he personally witnessed this mystery that could not be explained by medicine, he felt a chill down his spine. The heart transplant was successful, but the final touch was a bell-ringing Taoist priest.

Besides this young boy, Wei Zheng revealed that he had also encountered a peculiar case where an organ donor who died in a car accident was unwilling to let his heart be used by someone else, causing the recipient's heart function to fail to recover. Later, the family also invited a Taoist priest to perform a ritual, with the master mediating a "coordination." The recipient, still hospitalized, personally went to the deceased's memorial hall to kowtow in gratitude, after which the heart function returned to normal.
