On November 11, 2021, an elderly man dialed the Hangzhou Daily.
On the phone, he said, "Can you write my son's story?" My son is a genius, he is in a mental hospital now, and his mother just left today. ”
Yes, that day, it was the day the genius mother cremated.
As a father, Jin Sexyong did not call his son, but dialed the phone to the newspaper.
Not for fame, not for money, but for love, so that after his death, there are still people in the world who remember that there is a genius named "Jin Xiaoyu"!
Born in 1972, Jin Xiaoyu is the youngest son of Jin Shengyong.
At that time, Jin Sexyong and his wife Cao Meizao worked in Tianjin and were married for 5 years.
In 1978, it was the first major turning point in Jin Xiaoyu's life.
On that day, 6-year-old Jin Xiaoyu was playing a game with a neighbor's child.
At that time, there was a kind of toy gun, which could be shot out of a small paper ball.
Unexpectedly, the neighbor's child put a needle in the pistol that day, and a shot hit Jin Xiaoyu in the eye.
The crystal of his left eye shattered, and one of Jin Xiaoyu's eyes was blind.
This permanent, irreversible injury did not cause Jin Xiaoyu at that time to have psychological problems.
He would also comfort his parents: "It's okay, get used to it." ”
Perhaps it was the change that made Jin Sexyong feel like a thorn in his heart, and he resolutely chose to return to his hometown of Hangzhou with his family.
After returning to Hangzhou, the eldest son was admitted to Fudan, and Jin Xiaoyu was in the top class of the first grade of high school, and everything seemed to be developing in a good direction.
When I thought that everything could be cleared up, another change made the family heavy.
"I'm not going to college, and I'm not going to go to high school." Jin Xiaoyu had a showdown with his parents after returning home from school.
I thought it was Jin Xiaoyu who rebelled and played in adolescence, but from that day on, he really didn't go to school.
Therefore, Jin Sexyong found a friend to help him and let him go to Xinhua Bookstore as a salesman.
Jin Sex Yong still felt that Jin Xiaoyu was a child's heart, and maybe after a while he wanted to go back to school.
Less than two months after working, the bookstore fired Jin Xiaoyu.
Because Jin Xiaoyu described an old customer who was reading in the store as a thief, the two sides had a verbal altercation.
After leaving the bookstore, Jin Xiaoyu went to work in the exhaust fan factory.
However, after not doing it for a few days, Jin Xiaoyu refused to go, saying that the workers there were not good for him.
During this time, when he did not go to work, Jin Xiaoyu would suddenly lose his temper at home and smash things.
Jin Xiaoyu smashed three television sets, the refrigerator and washing machine were also damaged, and the table and bookshelf were not intact.
He seemed to have changed as a person.
At this time, Jin Sex Yong and his wife did not know that Jin Xiaoyu was sick.
Jin Xiaoyu's mother asked Jin Shengyong even more desperately:
"Is the child crazy?"
The second major turning point in Jin Xiaoyu's life occurred a year after he entered the university.
When Jin Xiaoyu, who seemed abnormal to others, wanted to study and go to college again, his parents were overjoyed.
They immediately signed up for cram school, hoping that this child, who had never been to high school at all, would be able to keep up with the pace as much as possible in the last few months.
What Jin Sex Yong did not expect was that Jin Xiaoyu's college entrance examination results were only 3 points away from a line.
Originally, I thought that Jin Xiaoyu would receive a notice from the Department of Foreign Languages of Hangzhou University, the second choice.
Unexpectedly, the school dismissed him because there was a bad record in the file.
After several twists and turns, Jin Xiaoyu entered Shuren University.
However, a year later, he dropped out of school. This time, it was because he was sick again.
Jin SexYong felt that this time, his son Jin Xiaoyu might really be out of touch with the school.
Unexpectedly, after dropping out of school, Jin Xiaoyu began to study at home, even more than when he went to school.
Two years later, he obtained a diploma from the English Department of Zhejiang University.
I thought that I would be able to keep the clouds open and see the moon, but I didn't expect that something happened next, which still made Jin Sex Yong feel afraid in retrospect.
One day, Jin Xiaoyu's mother found that he had been sleeping in bed and could not wake up.
It turned out that Jin Xiaoyu had committed suicide by taking sleeping pills.
They rushed him to the hospital for gastric lavage. Fortunately, the amount of medicine was insufficient, and Jin Xiaoyu was rescued.
Unexpectedly, not long after, Jin Xiaoyu committed suicide at home again.
This time, he hung the belt between the chandeliers in the ceiling and the windows.
If it weren't for hearing the sound, Jin Xiaoyu might not have been able to save it.
At this moment, Jin Sexyong and his wife finally realized that the child was sick.
Jin Xiaoyu was diagnosed with manic depression.
After accepting this cruel reality, the life of the Jin family has completely changed direction.
Every year, Jin Xiaoyu will be admitted to the hospital because of the onset of his illness.
However, for the second elder, the son only needs to be good or good. This is the inner bottom line of parents, and it is also the most painful appeal.
This is a pair of textbook Chinese parents who have been busy with their children for a lifetime without complaint or regret.
Perhaps god can't bear to bury Jin Xiaoyu's talent, or was touched by his parents, Jin Xiaoyu ushered in the most important third turn in his life.
When Jin Xiaoyu's mother went to NTU to attend the 50th Anniversary Alumni Association, a professor who stayed at the university hoped that Jin Xiaoyu could help with the translation at home.
This is a rare opportunity for Jin Xiaoyu.
Because in the past few years of illness, in addition to English, he taught himself German, Japanese, and even read all the foreign language novels in the Zhejiang Library.
It turns out that opportunity is really for everyone who is prepared.
The first book Translated by Jin Xiaoyu was Andrea Barrett's The Heat of the Ship.
Since then, he has translated 22 books in a decade at the rate of two books per year.
There are some obscure foreign books, and Jin Xiaoyu has "nibbled" them down.
The editorial staff rushed to be Jin Xiaoyu's editor, because his translated books had no typos, the translation never went wrong, and the readers' response was also very good.
They all congratulated Jin Xiaoyu's parents: "You have raised a translator genius! ”
However, no one knows that behind the "genius" is a bipolar person, and no one knows how much effort he has to put into getting to this point.
This is the "genius" in the eyes of others, the truest story behind it.
It's poignant and moving.
The day the newspaper received Kim's call, Kim's mother left, and he was still being treated in a mental hospital.
"Let the children think their mother is still alive."
Jin Didn't tell the two children.
In fact, before Jin Xiaoyu was arrested, Jin Shengyong received a call from him, and he cried and shouted: "Daddy save me, I don't go to the hospital, don't go." ”
It turned out that when he was crossing the road, he punched off the front teeth of an oncoming courier.
However, Before Jin Xiaoyu was discharged from the hospital, his mother was gone.
In recent years, Jin Xiaoyu's mother has been bedridden for several years because she suffers from Alzheimer's disease and cannot take care of herself.
Unexpectedly, this time when the children were not around, she was gone, and Jin Xiaoyu had no mother.
There is a saying in "Dune": the mystery of human life is not to solve the problem, but to face your experience.
Jin Xiaoyu has experienced a lot.
The world kissed him with pain, and he sang in return. He contributed what he had learned and could do to every stranger reader.
True genius is real gold wrapped in a hot pile of firewood!
They are precious enough, shining enough. However, they have also experienced "piping hot" that we can't imagine.
Even though fate may have joked on them, they never gave in and never thought of giving up every opportunity to prove themselves to others!
Even above the ruins, they strive to bloom!
So why should we give up?
