"Twenty-two dollars in total, this is the money that was found for you." In the corner of the wall where the cold wind was reckless, Yin Xiaofei was kneeling to sort out the waste that had just been collected. After years of suffering from illness, he could no longer bend down and squat, and he could only do what he needed to bend over and squat to do. Kneeling on the hard, cold ground, he seemed unable to feel it. He tried to stand up against the wall, tried 5 times before he struggled to get up straight, limped and put the waste on the tricycle, "I can't do anything else with this leg and foot, and I can still have some income from collecting some waste, otherwise my son's illness will really be hopeless." ”
On April 10, 2007, it was the happiest day of Yin Xiaofei's life, because on this day his son Yin Bo was born. "The family is poor, the family has no culture, and the whole family has seen hope as soon as the child is born." The arrival of their son has brought infinite joy to the family, and the couple firmly believes that they can live a happy life with their own efforts. Just as the two were dreaming of a better future, one of their sons' examinations completely shattered their yearning for the future. (Pictured is Yin Bo)
In April 2008, Yin Bo turned one year old. "The child just after the first birthday began to have a high fever, always like to sleep, wake up when especially rare, the family on this one seedling, holding in the hand afraid of falling in the mouth afraid of melting, the child is panicked when he is sick, I quickly take the child to the hospital." The results of the examination made Yin Xiaofei's eyes go black, and Yin Bo was diagnosed with brain development retardation and intellectual disability.
Yin Xiaofei, who has lived in the countryside since he was a child, has never even heard of this disease, he took the doctor's hand and kept asking: "Doctor, can this disease be cured, and does the child still have hope?" The doctor's answer made him fall into the ice cave, and the doctor told him: "This disease affects the child's speech function, may not speak for a lifetime, and the intelligence will be lower than that of children of the same age 4 to 5 years old."

"That, that... How to treat it, this disease will be better, it will be good. Yin Xiaofei asked the doctor incoherently. This disease is time-consuming and laborious to treat, and the child may not have much progress after a period of treatment, and it is necessary to adhere to rehabilitation training for a long time so that the child can recover. ”
He learned from the doctor that a rehabilitation training cost tens of thousands of yuan. He was diagnosed with osteonecrosis of the femoral head as early as 2004, and over the years he had spent all his family's savings and owed 90,000 foreign debts for his illness. Now he is still taking medicine, the cost of the child's rehabilitation is an astronomical amount for him, he does not know where to go to raise money for the child, he can only take the child home full of guilt.

Because of the illness, Yin Xiaofei could not do any heavy work. The financial pressure of the family is all on the wife alone, and she bears the medical expenses of two patients at once, and the wife is on the verge of collapse every day. In 2011, Yin Xiaofei and his wife divorced. "I know she's too tired, and getting divorced is a relief for her, the family conditions are so poor, and I have to take care of two sick people, neither of them can bear it." (Pictured is Yin Bo)
His wife's departure did not make him complain. Since then, Yin Xiaofei has lived alone with his son. In 2013, Yin Xiaofei used the 30,000 yuan saved in these years to start taking his son for rehabilitation. At 5 o'clock in the morning, Yin Xiaofei began to dress and wash his son, he was a father and a mother alone; at 8 o'clock, he took his son on time to do acupuncture, massage, speech training...
After 5 months of rehabilitation, Yin Xiaofei heard the first "daddy" since the birth of the child. "I was shocked for half a day and didn't come back, bending down to pick up my son didn't feel any pain, excitedly couldn't say anything, and I kept holding my son in tears." (The picture shows Yin Xiaofei picking up waste)
But after the joy, he also had to worry about the cost of his son's rehabilitation, and the savings he brought from home were running out, but his son's progress gave him hope. So he borrowed 50,000 yuan from relatives and neighbors, and his son's recovery continued. "In less than seven months, the money in my hand was not enough for the child's next rehabilitation, so I had to take the child home." I couldn't give him a healthy body, and now I can't continue to treat him, I owe my child too much. (The picture shows Yin Xiaofei's home)
Since divorcing his wife, he has stopped his treatment and spent all the money he saved on his children. After stopping the drug, his health was getting worse and worse, he could not bend down and squat, and what needed to be bent over or squatted, Yin Xiaofei had to hold things and kneel on the ground to do it. (The picture shows Yin Xiaofei sorting out the recovered waste)
For the sake of his child's illness, Yin Xiaofei went out every day to collect waste products to make money. No matter how uncomfortable his body is, he will come out early and return late day after day. Reluctant to buy cotton clothes in winter, he put thin clothes on his body one by one; his body was really uncomfortable, and he was reluctant to go to the hospital, so he let the village doctor give him an infusion at home. He wanted to save money for his son to treat his illness, "The child has suffered too much from me, he has been sick since he was a child, and he has no money to treat the child, I am sorry for my son." ”
"I don't even have my own house, after the child fell ill, I sold the house to the child for treatment, and now the house I live in is still borrowed from someone else's house, but I don't regret it at all." Now that I owe more than 200,000 yuan in foreign debt, I am now selling scrap enough to barely maintain the lives of our father and son, and I don't know if the children will be able to live on their own after I am gone. Looking at his son with sluggish eyes, Yin Xiaofei said the biggest worry in his heart. (Pictured is Yin Xiaofei)
