In the movie Alien, one of the hottest blockbuster movies in 2017, the characters can preserve their bodies in cryogenic capsules, a technology that has now been adopted by Chinese scientists to preserve corpses for future resurrection.

Zhan Wenlian, a 49-year-old female who died from lung cancer on May 8, donated her body for China’s first scientific cryogenic project. The project, which was initiated by the Yifeng Academy of Life Science, a medical company in Jinan, Shandong province, aims to bring the dead back to life after preserving their corpses, “waking” them up when medical technologies are fully developed, according to Chengdu Economic Daily.

A special anti-freezing solution was injected into Zhan’s corpse, while special medical equipment such as respirators is being used to ensure the physiological functions of the body. The corpse itself rests on the world’s only cryogenic bed, which cools the body’s temperature to -190 degrees Celsius. Scientists from both China and U.S. have taken part in the project, collecting data and information for future research.

Gui Junmin, Zhan’s husband, told Science and Technology Daily that he has faith in cryogenic preservation technologies, adding that he hopes to donate his body for the same project in the future.

According to media reports, the company is covering most of the expenses. Right now, the cost of preparation and preservation exceeds 1 million yuan ($150 thousand).

“Currently, we have no intention to commercialize the project. Zhan has devoted herself to science, receiving the hope of coming back to life in the future,” Jiang Chunsheng, director of Yifeng Academy of Life Science, told Chengdu Economic Daily.
