Overnight, the story of Hangzhou's "genius" translator swept across the internet.
On January 17, the Hangzhou Daily's "Listening to Life" column published an article entitled "Our Genius Son", reporting on the real life of an unknown "genius" translator, Jin Xiaoyu, and his father, Jin Sexyong. Jin Xiaoyu unfortunately had an eye disability at an early age, and was later diagnosed with bipolar disorder, and translation is his only weapon in the fight against fate. This cruel and gentle story has touched netizens across the country.
On January 18, the reporter came to the home of Mr. Jin Shengyong and Jin Xiaoyu.
To learn a foreign language, you have to read at least 20 original novels
Jin Xiaoyu learns English secrets:
Listen to the "Voice of China" English radio
"I learn a foreign language and read at least 20 original novels." In the afternoon, sitting in his small room, Jin Xiaoyu talked about how he taught himself a foreign language, and his eyes lit up. A brand-new laptop with a protective film on the keyboard, which was given by Xiaoyu's cousin, and Xiaoyu liked the gift very much.
Compared with the last time we met at the newspaper, Xiaoyu gave us the impression of being more relaxed this time. In the face of interviews from reporters across the country, he was not afraid of the stage, his thinking was clear and meticulous, talking about the famous books he had read as a child, such as "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" and "Les Misérables", and also talked about his secret to learning English: listening to the "Voice of China" English radio after eating every day.
Jin Xiaoyu used a new laptop
"I am now teaching myself Spanish in preparation for the translation of my next novel." This "language genius" startled everyone again.
"Dad is like my assistant, my secretary, including contacting the publishing house, taking care of my life, it is my father who helps me."
Elder Jin also recalled the Russian novels he loved when he was young, loved Turgenev the most, and recalled the four famous works such as "Dream of the Red Chamber" and "Journey to the West" for his newly literate son in the 1980s... Maybe this is the genetic gene that put Jin Xiaoyu on the road of literary translation, and it is now the tenth year.
The father's hand has always been in the care of his son's translated works
Xiaoyu's coat was a cloud of white. He explained carefully: this is toothpaste foam when brushing teeth. "If you brush your teeth clean, you can't care less about your clothes."
It's all right, Xiaoyu, we've all had toothpaste foam on our clothes.
Last night was the last full moon of the Year of the Ugly.
Father: "Xiaoyu is 50 years old, more introverted, no friends"
"My biggest hope now is that my child's illness will be good"
Yesterday (January 18) afternoon, the leaders of the Propaganda Department of the Hangzhou Municipal Party Committee, the Municipal Civilization Office, the Municipal Disabled Persons' Federation, and the Hangzhou Daily Group came to the door to comfort the father and son of the Jin family. In addition to listening to the current needs of the father and son, everyone also hopes to create a relaxed and quiet working atmosphere for Jin Xiaoyu.
A tight handshake, a bouquet of flowers in winter, and a bag of heavy New Year goods suddenly made this two-person family lively, full of festive New Year atmosphere.
"Xiaoyu, you are so remarkable, you have translated so many works." The leader of the Municipal Disabled Persons' Federation who sat next to Jin Xiaoyu gave a thumbs up, and Jin Xiaoyu smiled shyly and spent most of his time watching his father talk. The cramped bedroom was almost filled with books and words translated by him.
The heart-warming words even spoke to the heart of his father Jin Zhiyong: "The spirit of your family: the love of your parents for their sons, And Xiaoyu's feelings for their mothers, are all too touching!" "You're old, make sure you rest at night."
On that side was the old man Jin Sexyong's sincere thanks: "Thank you, thank you." ”
"My biggest hope now is that my child's illness will be well seen, and I am older, and I hope to send my child to a care institution in the future." Now the two of us don't want to be apart yet, otherwise he's lonely and I'm lonely. ”
The 86-year-old Jin Sexyong touched the swollen instep of his foot during this time, and his tone was full of worry, "Xiaoyu is 50 years old, relatively introverted, and has no friends." ”
"In a situation like Xiaoyu's,
At present, he has enjoyed all the support policies that he deserves."
In recent years, Jin Xiaoyu, who has a second-degree mental disability and is accompanied by bipolar disorder, has been enjoying subsidies for the living and nursing care of the disabled with difficulties.
"We have made an understanding in the early stage, like Xiaoyu's situation, all the current support policies he deserves." The person in charge of the Municipal Disabled Persons' Federation said that as the "mother's family" of the disabled, they are also considering that in the future, when Jin Zhiyong is older and inconvenient to take care of his children, he must make proper arrangements for the lives of the two people.
"The Gongshu District Government is building a care center in Beijingyuan, of which ten beds are reserved for the disabled group, and we can help coordinate Xiaoyu to win the opportunity to enter the nursery and create a more spacious working environment for him."
Before leaving, the leaders of the Municipal Disabled Persons' Federation sent condolences and did not forget to encourage Xiaoyu to go out of the family and integrate into the society to participate in activities in the future. "Going out, the mood is cheerful, and it is good for the control and recovery of the disease."
Doctor: I hope you pay attention to it
Don't let him live in the spotlight
Chen Yanbo, director of the medical department of the Seventh Municipal Hospital, was one of Jin Xiaoyu's doctors in charge.
"I am more familiar with Xiaoyu, he is very smart, every two weeks to three months back to the hospital to review, for a few years very well controlled, can work normally."
Bipolar disorder is also called bipolar disorder. "This disease is difficult to cure, but it can be well controlled, it is like a chronic disease such as high blood pressure and diabetes, which requires long-term medication to maintain stability."
Xiaoyu's bookcase contains English and French dictionaries, as well as books by Hu Shi and Maugham
Since 2005, the state has advocated the provision of full-course rehabilitation services for mentally ill persons. When the patient's condition fluctuates, the family doctor in the community will contact the specialists of the Seven City Hospitals. Chen Yanbo said that the hospital has formulated a triple plan of drugs, physical therapy and psychological treatment for Xiaoyu, helping to survive the acute attack period by taking emotional stabilizer drugs, deep transcranial magnetic stimulation, and biofeedback treatment.
"The situation of Jin Xiaoyu is not an isolated case, it is a social phenomenon, and we call on the society to face up to and tolerate such groups of people with disabilities."
What to do next, is it the most beneficial to Xiaoyu? "Maintain the status quo and don't upset the old balance. Hopefully he'll go out and make more friends. I also hope that everyone will pay due attention and not let him live in the spotlight. ”
Community: "As long as they are good, we are willing." ”
The Father and Son of the Jin family live in an old community, but last year they just did a façade renovation, and when they go out, they will see the green trees and flower beds, as well as walking paths and pavilions for rest, and the environment is clean and comfortable.
The old community where Jin Xiaoyu lives is comfortable and clean
Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. The social workers in the Shuangdang community have always cared about this special family. Secretary Huang of the community has been paying attention to Xiaoyu's growth and changes, and is very happy to see Xiaoyu's achievements today.
Community cadres do trivial things. For example, before the winter, the community paid for all the aging lines of the Jin family. At that time, Master Jin's lover Aunt Cao was still there. Their air conditioning can not be stopped, and Aunt Cao should keep warm in winter. Therefore, two air conditioners plus an oil tank, may be short circuited at any time, too dangerous! ”
Paying for wires is still a small matter, and all the wires in the house are paved, and the amount of work is not small. It turned out that there was also a team of maintenance volunteers in the Shuangdang Lane community, and it was their help.
The wires in Jin Xiaoyu's house were replaced with new ones before winter
Secretary Huang also said that Aunt Cao was not in good health, was bedridden for many years, and had to turn over every two hours. Last fall, Xiaoyu went to the hospital for treatment, Aunt Cao could not leave people around, Master Jin could not leave, and it was also the community staff who went to the hospital to accompany her.
"As long as they are good, we are willing." From the secretary to the social worker, they all have such a simple wish.
Police officer Lao Zhang, Xiaoyu's most trusted person
He is 4 years younger than Xiaoyu, but he is like a big brother guarding his younger brother
Lao Zhang, a police officer at the Hushu police station, may be Xiaoyu's most trusted person. Xiaoyu generally does not speak, but he is willing to communicate with Officer Zhang.
Xiaoyu does not like to take medicine, and often puts the medicine under his tongue, just don't swallow it. At this time, Elder Jin would ask the police officer Lao Zhang to help, stare at Xiaoyu to take the medicine, let him open his mouth, and confirm that he ate it. Several times to the hospital, but also Lao Zhang assisted.
In November last year, Xiaoyu ran away from home, and Lao Zhang paid attention to Xiaoyu's dynamics every day, and as soon as he found that there was a trace, he quickly informed Jin Lao.
Lao Zhang transferred to the Hushu police station as a police officer in 2012, and xiao yu has been dealing with him for 10 years, and he has become good friends with the father and son of the Jin family. Lao Zhang is a native of Zhangjiakou and speaks a northern dialect, which may be the reason why Xiaoyu, who was born in Tianjin, feels very kind.
"Xiaoyu is a genius, I already knew. When I talked to Master Jin, I had heard it with my own ears. Lao Zhang said.
Lao Zhang would come to see Xiaoyu every day. Yesterday, when he saw many visiting guests, he waited outside the house and waited for people to disperse before coming in. Seeing the reporter, he said, "Thank you for publishing such a report to Xiaoyu and Master Jin, which may help them in their future lives." Here I also thank you for your efforts. ”
Xiaoyu sent Lao Zhang a novel that he had translated. Ask Lao Zhang which book it is. He replied forgetting. Okumi suddenly remembered, "Flying Soul (novel by Japanese female writer Tawada Leaf)!" ”
Old Zhang is 4 years younger than Xiaoyu, but like a big brother, guarding this genius brother.
