"People have bad luck and bad luck, and the moon has clouds and sunshine." We cannot choose our fate at birth, but we can choke the throat of fate.
People are born different, some people are born rich, some people are born poor; some people are born perfect, some people are born crippled.
However, "dreams" do not pick people, even if there are people with disabilities, they also have the right to pursue their dreams, the key lies in persistence and perseverance.
Coincidentally, in Hubei, there is a disabled boy after 95, who has suffered from "dystonia" since he was a child, and it is very difficult to listen, express, walk, and write, but he did not bow to fate.
In a 5-year period, he successfully discovered 19 "new objects", including 5 "supernovae", 3 "extragalactic novae", 2 "dwarf novae" and 9 other types of variable stars, the farthest distance of about 250 million light-years from Earth.
He is the Star Watcher: Zhao Jingyuan, a strong teenager who "insists on not relaxing in the green mountains" and bravely chases dreams!
Zhao Jingyuan, born in 1997 in Zaoyang, Hubei Province, his father Zhao Hailing and mother Hao Fengmei are ordinary farmers, and their family is not rich, but they are also well fed.
Zhao Jingyuan's 100-day souvenir
When he was a child, Zhao Jingyuan was very obedient and had a very lively personality, and in the impression of his parents, he was a well-behaved baby who loved to learn.
Although his parents were honest and honest rural people, his father often accompanied him out to play, at that time, Zhao Jingyuan, like other children, had a happy and happy childhood in the company of his parents.
Mother Hao Fengmei and Zhao Jingyuan
In the years of elementary school, Zhao Jingyuan, who was "young and ignorant and loved to chase dreams", gradually became interested in the mystery of the starry sky and the universe, but such an imaginative teenager was tricked by fate.
At the age of 11, Zhao Jingyuan suddenly found that his arm was a little sore when writing, and his parents only thought that the child might be too tired because of the nervousness of learning, so he did not pay special attention.
11-year-old Zhao Jingyuan
But in the days that followed, Zhao Jingyuan's arm hurt more and more, but he was still shaking so hard that he couldn't even hold the pen.
At this time, his parents rushed to the local hospital with Zhao Jingyuan for examination, but the doctor told him that your disease was strange and suggested that you go to Wuhan University Hospital for further examination.
After several twists and turns, the major hospitals in Wuhan did not find a specific cause, but Zhao Jingyuan's condition was constantly intensifying.
His hearing was getting worse and worse, his voice was getting smaller and smaller, and the pain in his arm was getting worse, and he even hurt so much that he couldn't hold a pen to write.

Time was like this, a day or two passed, the father took Zhao Jingyuan to run all the hospitals that could be thought of without finding the cause, looking at the son who was tormented by the pain, the father felt very heartbroken.
During this period, his father took Zhao Jingyuan to Nanyang, Henan to see traditional Chinese medicine, but after a year of conditioning, he still did not see any improvement.
"The pain is in the child's body, the pain is in the mother's heart", the parents did not dare to delay Zhao Jingyuan's illness at all, so the old two cheekily cobbled together some money and embarked on the road to Beijing to seek medical treatment again.

Finally, in Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Zhao Jingyuan was diagnosed with dystonia, although the cause was identified, but as far as the current medical technology is concerned, this disease cannot be cured at all.
The doctor told Zhang Jingyuan's parents that the disease of dystonia can only be maintained and controlled due to the unknown pathogenesis, and there is no specific drug that can cure it.
Dystonia has brought many unexpected difficulties to Zhao Jingyuan's life, and his hearing, speech, and even walking have been seriously affected.
In order to treat Zhao Jingyuan, the whole family saved money and used money, and the cost of long-term medical treatment and medicine made this family, which was not rich, even worse.
Zhao Jingyuan's father, because of his poor physical condition, could no longer engage in manual labor, and he could hardly make any money.

As a rural woman, my mother only got up early every day to sell some vegetables grown in her own field in the vegetable market, and the sudden unfortunate encounter made this family, which was already in a tight economic situation, even more stretched.
Fortunately, the society is full of warmth everywhere, and after the local grassroots leaders learned about Zhao Jingyuan's family situation, they took the initiative to apply for a minimum guarantee for him, thus alleviating some economic pressure.
Despite this, Zhao Jingyuan's parents still did not choose to give up giving up on continuing to see their children for treatment.
Fate brought Zhao Jingyuan many tribulations, but he never gave up his efforts, and practicing vocalization and writing every day became his compulsory courses.
Zhao Jingyuan likes to read books, especially books related to astronomy, and he often reads while reading, not only to learn knowledge, but also to practice oral pronunciation.

Zhao Jingyuan has reached a state of obsession with the universe and space, although he has a disability and is unable to move, but this does not affect his thirst for knowledge in the slightest, and his persistence has successfully impressed his elderly parents.
Although the family's income is all dependent on the mother Hao Fengmei selling vegetables, Zhao Hailing and his wife are responsive to their son's hobbies.
Zhao Jingyuan watched astronomical phenomena accompanied by his parents
The couple saved money and used every cent saved to buy Zhao Jingyuan an astronomical telescope that he had in mind. As a father, Zhao Hailing often took him everywhere to watch astronomical phenomena in order to satisfy his son's hobbies, especially those solar and lunar eclipse wonders that are rare in a hundred years.
At the same time, during the time of medical treatment in Beijing, the parents also took Zhao Jingyuan to the Beijing Planetarium to visit, and the old couple wanted their son to feel the vastness and mystery of the universe more intuitively.

In the planetarium, Zhao Jingyuan saw the star map for the first time, he was both curious and excited, it turned out that the universe and space were so mysterious, and since then, Zhao Jingyuan has become more fascinated by space.
Space Starry Sky
It is also under the support and encouragement of his parents that Zhao Jingyuan's interest in the astronomical universe has become more and more intense, and he has strengthened his original intention.
Zhao Jingyuan was deeply attracted by the mystery of the universe, and he found the best way to sustenance for life, that is, to better explore the mystery of space.
On November 27, 2015, by chance, Zhao Jingyuan participated in the Poetic Starry Sky Astrophotography Competition, and it was through this activity that Zhang Jingyuan learned about a project called public supernova search, as long as he compares the star map released by the public supernova search project website, it is possible to discover new celestial bodies.
Public Supernova Search Program
It is only because of long-term medication to see a doctor, Zhao Jingyuan does not have the energy to accept systematic learning, and his level of cultural knowledge is not enough to support his exploration of new celestial bodies.
In the eyes of parents, because the child has been tormented by illness for many years, he no longer cares so much about Zhao Jingyuan's learning, and he still works so hard.
Zhao Jingyuan's university
In 2016, Zhao Jingyuan successfully entered Huanghuai College with his hard work, and finally had the opportunity to continue to study astronomy he loved at a higher institution.
During his college years, Zhao Jingyuan endured the pain of his body while immersing himself in the study of the cosmic starry sky.
Disabled
In order to find a supernova, Zhao Jingyuan has put in more effort than ordinary people, because no one can expect a supernova to burst at what time and place, and the odds can be said to be tens of thousands of times higher than buying a super lotto and a first prize in a two-color ball.
Don't give up on yourself
Of course, in addition to the factor of luck, it takes a long time to find supernovae, not to observe a supernova in one night, and to find a supernova just by looking at a few photos.
This requires long-term accumulation and perseverance in order to have the opportunity to get a result of luck, and it is conceivable that Zhao Jingyuan has paid much hardship and effort on the road of exploring the vast starry sky.
"As long as the kung fu is deep and the iron pestle is sharpened into a needle", after looking at more than 18,000 photos of the starry sky, Zhao Jingyuan finally found a gratifying bright spot in the star map, at this time he was very excited, but he was not sure whether it was a new supernova.
Look at old and new star charts
In order to verify his findings, Zhao Jingyuan submitted it to the certification experts for screening, at the same time, he still carefully compared the star map as always, and what people did not expect was that only two days later, Zhao Jingyuan had a new discovery.
This new discovery, even the experts of the observatory were shocked, in such a short period of time, Zhao Jingyuan discovered two new celestial bodies in a row, which is really incredible.
A supernova discovered by Zhao Jingyuan
Not long after, the National Astronomical Federation Supernova Working Group confirmed that Zhao Jingyuan's discovery was indeed two supernovae, and at this time, Zhao Jingyuan had completely forgotten the pain and found his own happiness in immersing himself in a dense star map.
Look at the star chart day and night
In the next 5 years, Zhao Jingyuan, with his extraordinary perseverance and persistence, looked at 320,000 star maps and successfully discovered 19 "new celestial bodies", including 5 "supernovae", 3 "extrahero novae", 2 "dwarf novae" and 9 other types of variable stars, the farthest of which was 250 million light-years away from Earth.
In view of Zhao Jingyuan's outstanding contribution to the public's supernova search project, the China Virtual Observatory specially issued him with a letter of appointment as "Deputy Head of the Secretariat Group" to affirm his achievements.
Zhao Jingyuan obtained a letter of appointment
Just as the so-called "make the best use of things, make the best use of people", Zhao Jingyuan is the one who sees the most star maps in the public supernova search project with more than 20,000 people, so he was appointed as the administrator of the project and won the contribution award, and also hopes that his talent and diligence can be better displayed.
Zhao Jingyuan's Contribution Award
For ordinary people, discovering new objects is indeed a very distant thing, because 99% of people can't stick to it, after all, the process is too boring.
But for the sick Zhao Jingyuan, the work with the "star" is not only romantic, with enough to resist the love of boredom and loneliness, the pace is constantly pursuing the ultimate, he found his own star from it...
Hegel once said: "A nation has a group of people who look up to the starry sky, and only then can this nation have hope", Zhao Jingyuan, who likes to look up at the starry sky, never complains or gives up!
He found the power of life in his favorite interests, he insisted on his dreams, and persevered in the beautiful life that belonged to him in the galaxy!
Whether it is Zhao Jingyuan, who is disabled, or an ordinary member of ordinary society, as long as he has a dream, no one is amazing!
On the occasion of the centenary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, I hope that each and every one of us can take national rejuvenation as our own responsibility, consciously integrate life ideals and family happiness into the great cause of national prosperity and national rejuvenation, and be dreamers in the new era!
