Jin Xiaoyu and his father Jin Shengyong
Recently, the "Listening to Life" column of Hangzhou Daily received a special phone call, and on the other end of the phone was a father, who said, "Can you write the story of my son?" My son is a genius, he's in a mental hospital now, and his mom just left today. ”
No one can imagine that such an "ordinary" father has told a story that makes people cry, and the story is full of irrevocable fatherly love, which makes people sigh, and even some people lament God's injustice.
01
The fate is uncertain, but never gives up
When he was six years old, Xiaoyu played with the neighbor's child, but he did not expect that the neighbor's child put a needle in the toy gun that day, and a shot hit Xiaoyu's eye, and the left eye crystal shattered. One of Xiaoyu's eyes has since become blind, and he can only squint at things. ”
"In high school, he suddenly got bored with school, his mood changed dramatically, and he smashed the electrical appliances at home."
"His mother found out that he had committed suicide by taking sleeping pills and rushed to the hospital with his neighbors to wash his stomach. Fortunately, the medicine was insufficient, and the child was saved. ”
"I went to several hospitals and was diagnosed with manic depression, also known as bipolar disorder."
"If he doesn't go to college, he doesn't work, he can't start a family, we can all accept it – as long as he lives."
Xiao Yu finished reading all the foreign language novels in the library. In 2010, in the ten years that Xiaoyu accepted the task of publishing house, Xiaoyu translated a total of 22 books at the rate of two books per year. ”
"A child has no friends in his life. As a father, I am most fortunate to be my child's best friend and assistant in this decade. ”
"Mom is demented, Xiaoyu is very sad, he said that I can translate the book is my mother's credit. Every time the publisher sent a sample book to Xiaoyu, he rushed to the bedside for the first time and delivered it to his mother and told it to his mother. ”
Every day, Xiaoyu hugged his mother and shouted, "Mom, Mom." ”
"One day Xiao Yu crossed the street and was confronted by a courier who punched out someone's front teeth... Soon, the Seventh Yuan came and took Xiao Yu away. The son cried out to the heavens: Daddy save me, I don't go to the hospital, don't go. ”
"My wife died, but I didn't tell them to let the children think their mother was still alive."
"Last week I went to the hospital to see Xiaoyu and bring him something to eat. Every time I went there to see him, I heard him crying, "Please take me home, Daddy let's go home..."
In this father's narration, we see the deepest love from parents for their children, and we also see the other side of bipolar people. Probably many people's cognition of bipolar disorder patients is that emotions are uncertain, violent tendencies, and depression.
However, in fact, many people with bipolar disorder are also considered geniuses.

A manic heart makes the path to genius
"Manic Depression multi-talent" lists 25 historical celebrities: Beethoven, Van Gogh, Newton, Hemingway... They have typical manifestations of bipolar disorder throughout their lives, and have endured pain beyond ordinary people. They are all talented artists with great imaginations.
The father's son, Jin Xiaoyu, also has an extraordinary talent in translation, and in ten years, Xiaoyu accepted the task of publishing houses and began his life as a translator. Xiaoyu translated a total of 22 books at the rate of two books per year.
Bipolar disorder, also known as bipolar disorder, is also known as bipolar disorder. Patients will experience alternating episodes of depression and mania. Xiaoyu does not go to school, is depressed, does not sleep at night, and even commits suicide, all of which are in the depression period; groundless suspicion of accusing others, manic and restless, destructive behavior, is turned into a manic period.
Kay Redfield Jamison, the author of Bipolar Heart, who lived with bipolar disorder for 30 years, says in the book that each of us is made up in different ways. We can all only wander, live, and realize a small part of its possibilities within the confines of our own character. The experience of living with bipolar disorder for 30 years has made me constantly aware of the limitations and possibilities it brings.
