Recently, Cai Lei's health has attracted much attention from the outside world. In the fifth year of the fight against frostbite, Cai Lei's physical condition declined seriously, but the tenacious fighter still expressed his hope to kill the disease before he fell. Behind him is his wife Duan Rui's silent support.
I'm not a careerist
Even often "crash"
With simple makeup, a dark dress and a pair of casual cloth shoes, Duan Rui appeared in front of the reporters wearing simple low-key clothes with a bright smile.
"I am a person who can't hide things in my heart. I often break down and never hide." She laughed in front of the camera to tease her "emotional". It is such a wife who often "collapses" and "has a Buddha heart". After her husband suffered from progressive frostbite, she resolutely gave up everything and became his teammate.
Duan Rui Interviews with China News Health Photographed by Zhang Ni "The founder of Cai Lei's ice breaking post station" is a concise description in Duan Rui's Weibo account authentication, and also the most direct way for her to help Cai Lei fight against frostbite.
It is better to earn money by yourself than to seek corporate financing. In 2022, after several financing setbacks, Cai Lei and his wife decided to try it by means of live broadcast with goods. Duan Rui, who has never set foot in the live broadcast industry, devoted himself to this job for her husband.
"There are different difficulties in each stage of live broadcasting. At the beginning, it is difficult to find the anchor. Later, it is also difficult to find out how to do it yourself. When you fail to do something, you don't know whether you think it is right or not, so people around you, including your colleagues and employees, will also waver."
Without any talent to show, and without skills, how can we talk for hours in the live broadcast room? This problem made Duan Rui very headache.
Compared with Cai Lei's emotional stability, Duan Rui said that she was "very easy to collapse". She would even directly say "I have an emo today" in the work group, but her "collapse" time is very short, and soon she will adjust herself, because there is still a lot of work waiting for her to do.
"At present, almost every day we have to work for about 15 hours." Duan Rui said that she has to broadcast live for five days a week, and when she does not broadcast, she is busy with the team members to select products, collect data and arrange products every day. This is a huge physical and mental challenge, "really tired".
For more than a year, a small team promoted the rapid growth of the studio. Now, with the increase of attention, Cai Lei's Ice Breaking Posthouse has more than 4 million fans, and more than 10000 people watch it live online at the same time. More importantly, the benefits brought by the live broadcast room are becoming an important source of funding for research and development of frostbite drugs and treatment methods, and also a platform to connect various important resources.
Duan Rui's efforts are obvious to all, and the media also like to call her the strong backing behind Cai Lei. But when facing the reporter, she said with a smile that she was actually "lying flat" in her heart, but she would still choose to solve problems after encountering them.
"I am not an ambitious person, but after I was with him (Cai Lei), I changed my way of thinking a lot. As long as you think you should do this, you should not think about success or failure. This makes many choices different from before."
As for whether he will personally take over his husband's career in the future, Duan Rui said, "It's a bit far away now. I may try, but I am very clear about my ability. The work he (Cai Lei) planned is not hard to achieve. You need to have a strong negotiating ability, because each side involves huge interests, and I do not have such ability."
Turning to the future development of the studio, she said, "If someone is still doing something to fight against progressive frostbite in the future, I will continue to do it as a source of (funds). If not, I may also want to rest."
"Never treat my children like children"
Racing against the "god of death", Duan Rui and Cai Lei's lives are filled with work, which makes it difficult for her to spend a lot of time with her young son, but she has her own understanding of the company of growth.
"My mother was also a career type person in my whole growth process, but I never felt that she lacked the time to accompany me. She would tell me that watching TV at home is not the only way of life, and working overtime is not a hard thing. It is because you have your dream. Now you just have brains and physical strength and have the opportunity to present it. You should be grateful for this opportunity. "
Duan Rui said that he saw the struggle of his parents' generation and their energy every day, showing a rare vitality among peers. As a daughter, she also learned this kind of education method, that is, the company of children is very important, but its form is not important. The key is to have more communication with children, and the depth of communication is very important.
In recent years, Cai Lei and his wife have been very economical during their entrepreneurship. So far, neither of them has independent office space. Duan Rui's office space is even the smallest among his colleagues.
Sometimes when you need to watch some data analysis quietly, Duan Rui will take it home and do it. At this time, his son will run around her and ask his mother what she is doing from time to time. Duan Rui will patiently explain to him in an adult way.
"I don't know whether he understands or not. Anyway, I will tell him, and then he will understand in his way. I never treat my child as a child. There is no difference between us, but he has his way of understanding problems. He is also a rich small world. I don't know what kind of mapping will be formed in his world, but I know he still feels very happy. "
From knowing Cai Lei
He is such a person
Enterprise executives, social elites, frostbite fighters, fighters... Cai Lei's experience has made him labeled by the outside world, but in Duan Rui's eyes, his husband has not changed because of a disease, he is always the same.
Data Map: Cai Lei For a long time, Duan Rui and Cai Lei are both people who live a small proportion of their lives and spend more time immersed in work. Both of them have lived a very simple life so far. Until now, Duan Rui has forced himself to throw away one of his clothes before buying a new one. Cai Lei has no requirements for material life. Although they regard making money as a very important thing, their living standards have remained the same for decades.
"He didn't know anything about his family, and now he doesn't know anything about it."
Even so, Duan Rui's husband still has countless shining points in his eyes. "He is a man of faith and a very stable person. All his satisfaction and pride are not limited to the excellent times and the triumphant days. Even if he encounters many blows, he will not change his mind at the beginning. He will not change his mind if things go smoothly. "
Duan Rui said that this is just a part of his character that is lacking. Few people can really do "not take pleasure in things, not take pity on themselves". Cai Lei cured his "internal friction".
As for the label given to Cai Lei by the outside world, she believes that Cai Lei may be a fighter in terms of his work, but from the way he completes his work, he has always enjoyed it.
"People are used to labeling many people. If they do something, they will think that they are a successful, wise, serious and hardworking person. But in fact, they may be very pure, that is, they think everything they do is interesting and worth exploring, just like a game."
Just like Cai Lei made a bold and direct request to "get married" when he met Duan Rui two weeks ago, Duan Rui thinks that Cai Lei has always been a very simple, pure and interesting person, and has never changed since the first day he met Duan Rui.
