This "unique" girl in Guangxi has supported a different kind of life

  At the beginning of January, Gui Yuna returned to her hometown in Datang Town, Nanning City to help farmers sell oranges.

  She was a former paralympic athlete who represented her country at the Paralympic Games in Athens. She served as the torchbearer of the Beijing Olympic Games and was awarded the title of "National Model Worker". Because she participated in the qipao competition with one-legged crutches, she was loved by many netizens. Today, with 231,000 fans on the Kuaishou short video platform, she has specially returned from Zhejiang to her hometown of Datang Town, Nanning, only to help farmers sell oranges.

  Live selling fruit to do your part for your hometown

  On January 13, Gui Yuna conducted two live broadcasts of Wo Citrus Helping Farmers in her Kuaishou live broadcast room, one in the orchard deep in the mountains and one in her home.

  "There are more than 500 acres of oranges here, this is just a small orchard, there is a large orchard over there, and the fruit on the trees has reached the picking season."

  In the live broadcast of the day, Gui Yuna turned off the beauty. She patiently introduced to netizens in the orchard the oranges planted by the fruit farmers in Datang Town, Nanning City. For the new netizens who entered the live broadcast room, Gui Yuna warmly welcomed; for the questions of netizens, she answered them carefully.

  Since entering the kuaishou and other short video platforms, Gui Yuna has conducted dozens of live broadcasts. When the lychee, longan and oranges in her hometown reached the picking season, she rushed back from Zhejiang to her hometown to sell fruits live. On January 13, she sold hundreds of single mandarin oranges, but she felt that her power was too limited.

  "My mom used to be in the fruit business. Because of her perennial contact with fruit growers, my mother knows the hard work of fruit growers very well. My ability to sell goods is limited, but every year when it comes to the fruit picking season, I want to do what I can for the growers in my hometown, and I can help as much as I can. ”

  Gui Yuna said that after learning about the slow sales of Wo Mandarin in her hometown at the beginning of this year, she actively contacted some anchors, hoping that they could also join the live broadcast of Wo Mandarin. "Recently, I will stay in my hometown, and selling oranges is the most anxious thing I want to do at the moment."

  Passing the Flame She does not bow to fate

  Gui Yuna never hesitated to express her love for her mother. Mom's non-abandonment of her tempered her tenacious character and warmed her every step of the way.

  When Gui Yuna was still the fetus in her mother's womb, her father died of illness. Mom resolutely gave birth to her. Since then, mother and daughter have relied on each other for their lives.

  At the age of 7, Gui Yuna was in a car accident on her way home from school. Because her right leg was badly injured, she was amputated at a high position and permanently lost her right leg.

  Gui Yuna, who went to school on crutches, suffered a lot of cold eyes, and also gained friendship and help from her peers. Her mother's company is her greatest spiritual pillar: "She never gave up on me." ”

  Ten years later, the staff of the Nanning Disabled Persons' Federation went to the school where Gui Yuna studied to select athletes, and they met Gui Yuna. Gui Yuna wanted to challenge herself, but she was reluctant to be separated from her mother. "There you go!" No matter how much she didn't give up, her mother still encouraged Gui Yuna to start a new life.

  On the day of departure, after Gui Yuna left in the car, her mother quietly took the next car to follow her.

  Gui Yuna, 17, threw away her crutches and began practicing high jumps and long jumps. After a month of hard training, at the National Women's Championship held that year, Gui Yuna won the fifth place in the high jump. In the winter of the same year, she was selected for the national team.

  Gui Yuna recalled that two months before participating in the 2004 Paralympic Games in Athens, she injured her leg. The doctor issued a "verdict" to Gui Yuna: she was physically ill to participate in the Athens Paralympic Games.

  "At that time, there was a voice in my head saying: Gui Yuna, you can't give up. Being an athlete, it's my choice. Now that I have chosen this path, I have to challenge myself. I couldn't practice my lower limbs with a leg injury, so I insisted on practicing the strength of my upper limbs every day, just like before I was injured. ”

  When the list of athletes for the Athens Paralympic Games was announced, Gui Yuna was pleasantly surprised to see her name. At that moment, she was extremely excited. She suspected that it might have been her results in the first two rounds of selection that had helped her, or that her persistent training after the injury had been seen by the coach.

  In 2007, after breaking the women's high jump F42 world record with a score of 1.5 meters at the 7th Paralympic Games, Gui Yuna was awarded the title of "Model Worker of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region". In 2008, she participated in the relay of the Olympic flame as the "Beijing Olympic Torch bearer".

  Teach people to fish, and she wants to shine more people

  In 2017, Gui Yuna retired.

  After joining a company specializing in soft decoration materials in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province, Gui Yuna gave up a comfortable customer service job and challenged the sales position. After that, a saleswoman on crutches and dragging samples of decorative paintings and wallpaper began to appear on the streets of Yancheng.

  In order to expand sales, Gui Yuna obtained a C5 driver's license in 2014. Having a driver's license not only facilitates her job, but also allows her to drive far away. She drove more than 2,000 kilometers to Inner Mongolia to see the grassland scenery.

  The picture of Gui Yuna running away to sell prints has attracted the attention of many netizens on the short video website and has set off a lot of waves in the industry. When talking about business, many customers recognized her at a glance. Gui Yuna's efforts have impressed more and more customers, and her performance has soared to the top of the list. Eventually, she went from being a salesman to a partner in the company and founded her own decorative painting brand.

  It is better to teach people to fish than to teach people to fish.

  Gui Yuna hopes that the sun can shine more disabled people. Therefore, in September 2020, she and the Yancheng Disabled Persons' Federation established the "Five Love Home" for the disabled. In this warm little home, the disabled can not only learn the production of prints, but also learn to live stream goods.

  Last fall, Gui Yuna took her disabled live broadcast team to Hengdian, Zhejiang Province, and rented a homestay. People with disabilities who wish to broadcast live can go to her company for live training.

  Up to now, Gui Yuna and the team have trained more than 50 disabled anchors, and some anchors have more fans than Gui Yuna. In this regard, Gui Yuna is very pleased: "Helping more disabled people to support themselves and make their lives better is the goal of our efforts." ”

  Live out your true self and show your confidence

  In Gui Yuna's short video account, the video of her wearing a dark green cheongsam and standing on the stage of the cheongsam group on the night of the 2020 Olympiad received many likes. In the video, although she is physically mutilated, she is radiant. She interprets the charm of the cheongsam to the fullest.

  "Salute to the strong people of all life" "The girl is so strong, there is no reason why we should not work hard"... Netizens said: "Gui Yuna, the way you try to live is really cute." ”

  At the end of last year, Gui Yuna filmed many videos documenting rural life. While paying attention to the video, some netizens questioned it. Some netizens believe that Gui Yuna lives in the countryside and should not wear cheongsam and high heels, which are incompatible with the environment. Some netizens suggested that she wear a prosthesis, saying that there was no need to show her mutilated right leg.

  Gui Yuna said that she was very smelly and beautiful, loved makeup, and loved to wear high heels: "I don't want to please others, I just want to please myself." I can handle high heels with ease, and I feel more comfortable on crutches than I do with prosthetics, which is how I really feel. Thank you netizens for their concern for me, I am very happy. ”

  "I'm not perfect, just irreplaceable. When life gives you 100 reasons to be sad, you give it back 1,000 reasons to smile. Gui Yuna, 37, believes that everything is the best arrangement, turning over the obstacles of life, and more beautiful scenery comes to the face.
