In 1958, the Chinese People's Volunteers withdrew from North Korea, and Wu Tianyi and his wife came to Qinghai.

At that time, a large number of people rushed to Qinghai to participate in development and construction, and many people suffered from "weird diseases.

"A demobilized soldier from the Qilianshan Copper Mine was vomiting bubbles, but it was not working.

"The national economy and national defense construction, without the protection of plateau medicine, will become a big problem.

In 1964, Wu Tianyi was assigned to the Qinghai Guoluo Cavalry Detachment to exercise and shoot on horseback.

He drove the yak and carried the medicine tuozi.

In 1980, Wu Tianyi, who had established Qinghai Plateau Heart Research Institute (now Qinghai Plateau Medical Science Research Institute), published a popular science article "The Powerful of Plateau Adaptation", which was read by his family in Rochester, New York, USA Then, "Wu Tianyi, it may be our son!"

The next year, when he was returning from scientific research in Tanggula Mountain, Qinghai, unloading his luggage, he received this information about seeking relatives over the ocean, which was more than 30 years late.

Elderly parents urgently demanded a reunion in the United States, and the University of Colorado in the United States also threw an olive branch, "Loyalty and filial piety are hard to achieve, and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is the root of my career.

In 1990, Wu Tianyi led a team to participate in the Sino-Japanese joint medical investigation of Animaqing Mountain, and accumulated a large amount of data to prove that the Tibetans have the "best plateau adaptability.

The quantitative diagnosis standard for chronic mountain sickness he proposed was formulated as an international standard and named "Qinghai Standard".

Eleven years ago, when the Yushu earthquake occurred in Qinghai, he was still in command.

Some people say that once you are successful, it is time to rest.
Wu Tianyi replied, "Once you lie down in front of achievements, your scientific career will end.
