Zhu Peng, a 22-year-old boy from Yangxin County, Huangshi, recently came to Wuhan East Lake University to register for school. He got 514 points in the college entrance examination, but he felt that the result was not very good. His ideal was to study finance in the last book.
Zhu Peng's ideal is not high. But anyone who knows that he is a young man who lost his arms at the age of 3 will feel what he has experienced and sincerely admire his achievements.
Zhu Peng's arms were amputated when he accidentally touched a high-voltage wire when he was 3 years old. The second month after leaving the hospital, he was forced by his father to write with his feet every day, and gradually learned to take care of everything in life with his feet. At the age of 7, I went to primary school and was recommended to learn swimming. He entered the provincial disabled sports team at the age of 12 and won the national championship at the age of 16. In 2015, he was 19 years old and chose to retire after attending the National Games. After that, three teachers took turns to coach him for three months, and then he entered senior one with the recommendation of the Disabled Persons' Federation until he was admitted to the university after graduation, and he planned to take the postgraduate entrance exam after graduation.
Readers will fill in the details of Zhu Peng's life through reasonable imagination. If a person with a major disability wants to live a "normal" life, he must be unusual in other ways. At the end of the interview, he smiled and wrote down the words "independence, self-improvement, self-confidence and gratitude" with his feet, which can be regarded as a spiritual portrayal of his journey.
Similar inspirational stories were not uncommon before. To mention Zhu Peng again, first, he is close to us; Another scene occurred in the hospital not long ago: in the orthopedic ward, there was a college student who was doing lower limb traction treatment. He accidentally broke his leg because of traveling on holiday. Accompanied by his mother all day long, he kept sighing, saying that "even death is in his heart", which made his mother extremely anxious and puzzled.
Not to mention that this college student is rarely compared with Zhu Peng, but in my opinion, there are quite a few vulnerable young people like him. They can't stand accidents and are often at a loss in emergencies, not to mention being hit by Zhu Peng. When I think of the recent talk about "Niang Pao" in the society, in fact, how to dress up is their freedom. I am more worried about the psychological "Niang Pao".
Lu Xun said: "Real warriors dare to face the bleak life and face the dripping blood". In nine out of ten cases, life is not as good as what we want. Perfection is relative, and deformity is absolute. Therefore, everyone needs to be motivated, and real motivation can not rely on chicken soup alone. We naturally do not expect all the disabled people to live as Helen Keller, Perlman (world-class violin master with disabled legs) and Zhang Haidi, but only hope that they can develop healthy minds and strong wills, so as to dare to face the imperfect life.
Recently, the 7th National Congress of the China Disabled Persons' Federation was held, and the party and state leaders hoped that the disabled people would also "live a wonderful life" like the healthy people. The government will naturally create better and better conditions for this, and the society is also creating an increasingly ideal environment. However, all these cannot replace the efforts of the disabled themselves. Like Zhu Peng, the key to gratitude is independence, self-improvement and self-confidence. That's the bottom line.
