In 2018, on a short video platform, a girl named Luo Yu "caught fire". She has no moving appearance, nor does she have eye-catching talent, but she has been confessed by many netizens.
She only shared her daily life in the live broadcast room, but was confessed by more than three hundred netizens, it is worth noting that this girl is still a one-legged girl.
In Alibaba's 2019 Positive Energy Person of the Year, the girl with the right leg amputation was also named "Positive Energy Person of the Year".
Why is she liked by so many people? What's really appealing to her?
A tortuous childhood
Born in 1988 in Zhoukou, Henan Province, Luo Yu was a well-limbed, carefree little girl until she was three years old.
However, on the Dragon Boat Festival when she was three years old, a car accident changed the little girl's life.
On this day, my little brother, who had just been born, fell ill and cried incessantly. Luo Yu's parents were so anxious to take care of their sick brother that they let Luo Yu play with leather balls in the yard alone.
What the parents did not notice was that on this day, the courtyard door was open.
When Xiao Luo Yu was playing, the ball suddenly rolled to the road at the door.
Luo Yu, who was so young, had any sense of safety, and she only cared to chase the little leather ball.
"Boom—"
A speeding large truck did not have time to brake, and directly hit The little Luo Yu who ran to the center of the road to pick up the ball.
After the collision, there was an eerie silence, and then, a panic...
Hearing a loud noise outside the door, Luo Yu's parents rushed out to check it out, only to see that Xiao Luo Yu had fallen into a pool of blood.
Luo Yu's parents saw their daughter lying there, her brain was blank, or the neighbors around her helped to hit 120.
After Xiao Luoyu was pulled to the hospital, he was directly sent to the operating room. Luo Yu's parents waited outside the emergency room, anxious and crying.
Just when Luo Yu's parents were about to dry up, the lights in the operating room were finally extinguished.
"Doctor, how is our child?" Luo Yu's parents asked in tears.
The doctor's face was a little solemn, and he said slowly: "The child's life has been saved for the time being." ”
But before Luo Yu's parents could breathe a sigh of relief, he shook his head lightly and said regretfully: "However, the child's crushed right leg is very seriously infected, and it is most likely that he will not be able to save it." ”
It is said that Luo Yu's parents almost fainted on the spot, the child is only three years old, her life has not yet unfolded, she has lost a leg, what kind of difficulties will she face in the future. They pleaded with the doctors to save their children no matter what.
In order to save Xiao Luoyu as much as possible, the doctor performed three operations for her, and each time, the doctor tried his best to win more hope for the child, but in the end, he had to cut off his right leg from the root of his thigh.
Luo Yu's parents looked at Luo Yu lying on the hospital bed, tears could not stop flowing down, they thought that they did not take good care of Luo Yu, resulting in their daughter being hit by a car, now there is no way to make up, only guilt is left in their hearts.
At this time, Luo Yu did not know what was happening after waking up, she looked at herself with only one leg left, and asked her mother where her right leg had gone. Luo Yu's mother didn't say anything, only tears kept flowing down.
After being discharged from the hospital, Luo Yu was carefully cared for by her parents and soon recovered, and she realized at this time that she would only have one leg to accompany her in the future.
When Luo Yu began to get out of bed and walk, Grandpa made a beautiful pair of crutches for Luo Yu, and he hoped that this pair of crutches could help the young Luo Yu walk freely. With the help of his parents, Luo Yu was gradually able to get out of bed and walk, but the crutches were not his legs, and Luo Yu could only move with trembling and small steps, like a baby who had just learned to walk.
By 1995, Luo Yu reached the age of elementary school, and at first her mother picked luo Yu up and down from school every day, afraid that she would not be able to walk well. But in school, Luo Yu, who was on crutches, was still met with strange eyes from her classmates, and the classmates laughed at her, saying that she was a 'one-legged beast', and Luo Yu, who was hit, began to cry when she returned home, thinking that her classmates looked down on her and did not want to study.
In the face of the sad Luo Yu, the parents were both distressed and sad, and they told Luo Yu: "The eyes of others are not terrible, you must believe that you can learn the same knowledge as healthy people." ”
Under the enlightenment of his parents, Luo Yu slowly adjusted his state and began a normal learning life.
Luo Yu quickly scored the top few in the class with his own efforts and clever brains in school, and the students also began to play with Luo Yu under the guidance of the teacher.
However, once his mother met a classmate at the gate of sending Luo Yu to school, and when he saw Luo Yu, he said to his mother, "Look, this is the one-legged beast of our school." When Luo Yu's mother heard these words, her heart was broken, and her tears dripped down on the way home.
At this time, Luo Yu was already very strong, she saw her mother's sad expression, and decided to go to school alone from now on, not to let her mother pick her up again. Although her mother was not at ease, at Luo Yu's insistence, her mother still agreed to Luo Yu's own schooling.
After that, Luo Yu began his own journey to school. No matter whether the weather was cold or hot, Luo Yu always walked on the road to study with that pair of crutches.
In school, she became more and more hardworking, she did not care about the eyes of others, not only excelled in her studies, but also tried to do her best in the physical education class that she was extremely bad at, and the teachers and principals of the school praised her. This praise was bought by Luo Yu who had worked several times harder than others.
The bumpy experience of entering society for the first time
In the third year of Luo Yu's junior year, the family's younger sister was born, and her mother could not work, leaving her father to work as a welder to maintain the family's expenses.
The pressure to support a family of five fell on dad, and at this time, with dad's salary alone, he could no longer afford the family's expenses. So after graduating from junior high school, Luo Yu decided to drop out of school and go out to work to share the burden for the family.
But mom and dad were worried that Luo Yu's body could not bear it and did not agree to Luo Yu dropping out of school.
But Luo Yu made up his mind and refused to let go. But Luo Yu could not do it, so her mother entrusted luo Yu to find a relatively easy job near her home.
However, Luo Yu has her own ideas, and she wants to see if she can gain a foothold in society with her own ability.
Ideals are always good, but reality is cruel. A person with a physical disability is faced with a more difficult working situation.
After Luo Yu dropped out of school, she went to Guangzhou with her fellow villagers, and she tried various careers, but as soon as people saw her legs, they refused without the slightest hesitation. Instead of getting discouraged after being rejected many times, she continued to ask for all possible opportunities.
After more than half a month of job hunting, her persistence finally paid off, and the lady of a supermarket saw that it was not easy for her to see her, so she left her as a cashier.
The cashier's job required eight hours a day, and the hostess asked her if she could hold on, and she replied without hesitation: "Yes!" ”
After working for a few days, because she stood on crutches for a long time to cash register, the underside of her arm had been ground into a red patch. But Luo Yu did not complain, she understood that she needed to work harder than others to survive in society.
Soon Luo Yu's excellent work performance and enthusiastic work attitude were appreciated by the boss lady, who also specially prepared a stool for her to sit down at work, but she refused the kindness of the boss lady, thinking that she had to be like others and could not be special.
After a period of time, more and more customers liked this smiling girl, and the hostess was getting better and better at her.
A month later, Luo Yu received his first salary of his life, 300 yuan.
Luo Yu used the 300 yuan to buy gifts for his parents and younger siblings, and it was also the first salary that strengthened Luo Yu's determination to continue to go.
After working as a cashier in a supermarket for more than a year, Because she could not stand the long-term exclusion of colleagues, Luo Yu chose to resign, and then she worked as a waiter, packer, insurance salesman and several other jobs. After a few years of drifting outside, Luo Yu also reached the age when he should get married.
In 2012, 24-year-old Luo Yu was called home by her mother to start a blind date, and Luo Yu always felt that her daughter had been wandering outside and was not a way to do it, and wanted to find a good man for her daughter to marry.
In this way, Luo Yu has contacted tour guides, teachers, etc. before and after, but has not encountered the right one. Later, Luo Yu asked Luo Yu what type she liked, and she said: "If you can get along, you can just be filial to your parents." ”
There is no place to step on the iron shoes, and it takes no effort at all. Just after Luo Yu did not succeed for a long time, he fell in love with a boy at first sight on the street. After the two fell in love, the boy did not dislike Luo Yu because she was a disabled person, on the contrary, the boy took great care of Luo Yu. Luo Yu even put on a prosthesis for love.
Just after the two of them had been painted like glue for a year, they had also reached the point of talking about marriage, who knew that the boy's parents were unwilling to let them get married after knowing that Luo Yu was a disabled person.
"Luo Yu is a good girl, and her body does not have an impact on her life."
"No way! I wouldn't let a man with one leg in our house. ”
"You will fulfill us!"
"No way, if you marry her, you're going to force us both to death!"
In this way, the boy could only be separated from Luo Yu after fruitless discussion with his parents. After the breakup, Luo Yu was heartbroken, she thought she had met the love of her life, she devoted herself wholeheartedly, but in exchange for the end of being broken up.
After the loss of love, Luo Yu broke up for a long time and did not come out, and soon after hearing that the boy and another girl were married, Luo Yu's heart was like ashes. The girl who used to be cheerful and smiling is now silent and cannot be persuaded by anyone.
What Luo Yu didn't know at this time was that the things that made her even more devastated were still behind.
Sudden family changes
Shortly after Luo Yu broke up, the sudden family change hit Luo Yu even more unexpectedly.
Luo Yu's grandfather died suddenly, the family was heartbroken, just at this time, grandma and father fell ill because of the grandfather's departure, and soon after, the mother found a tumor.
In an instant, all the burdens of the family were pressed on Luo Yu alone, and she did not have time to deal with the sadness left by the loss of love, and devoted herself to taking care of the family.
This was the darkest period of Luo Yu's life, she rushed to the hospital and family every day, taking care of her father and grandmother in the hospital, and taking care of her younger siblings and mother at home, and her body suffered a huge test during this time.
She dragged a pair of crutches and tired legs every day, cooked and delivered food to her father and grandmother during the day, took medicine and fed medicine, and cared for her brother and weak mother who were going to school at night, and had no time to stop and rest.
Finally, a month later, Dad and Grandma were discharged from the hospital, and the tired Luo Yu had time to rest well. After this month, Luo Yu seemed to have changed into a person, perhaps the hardships of life had smoothed out the edges and corners of this girl's body, making her a silent pebble.
After arranging things at home, Luo Yu decided to go out for a walk. Starting in August 2015, Luo Yu began his long-distance journey. She went to Chengdu, Tibet, and lhasa on foot.
People say that Tibet is a place to purify the soul, and that walking in Lhasa can heal anything, and perhaps Luo Yu used this method to wash the wounds of his own soul.
After going to Lhasa, Luo Yu embarked on the Long March, and after she walked the last steps, she took a photo, sent a circle of friends, and said: I have finally conquered the Great Wall.
Later, someone asked her: "How did you finish walking the Great Wall?" ”
She said: "It's very simple, step by step, you can walk through the Great Wall." ”
Maybe it's like her life, step by step, always able to walk through all the suffering.
But the hemp rope is specially picked and broken, and the bad luck is dedicated to finding the bitter person. Two years later, the father of the family suddenly suffered from cerebral congestion, and the mother could no longer maintain the family's expenses. At this time, Luo Yu knew that she had reached the time when she had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the family, so she returned home and supported the family.
After she returned, in order to take care of her parents at home, she wanted to find a job away from home, but there was no high-paying and close job in their small county that suited her, so she simply let her father teach her to weld and become his father's successor.
After becoming familiar with the work of welding, the personal self-media industry has slowly caught fire, Luo Yu looked at the short video on the people of various industries to share their daily life on it, so she also registered a Kuaishou account, she gave herself a screen name, called 'Yu Dabao'.
In her spare time, she shares her work life on a short video account. Due to the peculiarities of her body and profession, she quickly caught fire on the Internet. In just a few months, her Kuaishou short video account has accumulated 350,000 fans, and more people know her story.
Later, she participated in the variety show "When Happiness Comes Knocking", and the host asked her: "Have you ever thought that you would be known and liked by so many people?" ”
"I didn't think about exposing myself to the public, I felt like a normal ordinary person, but whenever I saw people on the Internet sending me warm letters and small gifts, I was also very moved."
"When I was broadcasting live, I once received confessions from more than 300 people one day," Luo Yu said, "They all added my WeChat, and I passed, but I didn't agree to their confessions." ”
Perhaps Luo Yu once experienced an unforgettable love, and he also had a deeper understanding of love.
"Do you still want everyone to know me and be friends?" Luo Yu finally said.
After Luo Yu's story was known to more people, he also received more opportunities from all over the country.
After a live broadcast, she received a phone call from a well-known investor in Beijing, saying that she wanted to invite her to be the ambassador of the "Disabled Platform" and help the disabled to carry out skills training and help more disabled people get jobs.
In the 2019 Alibaba Positive Energy Figure Selection, she won the title of "Positive Energy Person of the Year" with her excellent qualities.
There are many people like Luo Yu in this world, who use suffering as a stepping stone and go towards a better life through their own efforts.
Everyone's life is colorful, there is pain and sweetness, and it is this sour, sweet and bitter life that has created this colorful world.
