When you see this cute smiley face for the first time, you will definitely imagine what a perfect and beautiful girl she is.
But when you move your gaze to her legs, you will find that she is different from ordinary people.
Her legs were gone, replaced by a pair of iron legs.
Her name is Liao Zhi, originally a beautiful dance teacher, with a cute daughter who is less than a year old.
However, in the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, she lost her mother-in-law, lost her daughter, lost her legs, and was abandoned by her husband, and her life suddenly fell to the bottom.
For her future, there are many people who are not optimistic about her and think that she will never be able to stand up again.
What happened to her?
Liao Zhi, who lost his legs, told everyone with actions that no matter what happened, it was impossible to always be the best version of himself.
Because she stood up again, became a legless dancer, and met her own love, blooming with the brilliance of life after rebirth.
First, fall into the bottom of life
Liao Zhi was born in December 1985 in Hanwang Town, Mianzhu, because she likes to dance, and she grew up to become a dance teacher.
At the age of 21, the young and beautiful Liao Zhi met the other half of her life. At that time, despite the strong opposition of her family, she still desperately threw herself into the relationship, and soon blossomed and had a daughter.
It was just fate that made a joke to her, and in the 5.12 Wenchuan earthquake, she lost everything.
After lunch on May 12, 2008, Liao Zhi and his mother-in-law played with their children at home. Suddenly, the ground shook, the family's house collapsed, and a few seconds later she fell with her mother-in-law and daughter with the collapsed house.
In this disaster, she lost her mother-in-law and her lovely daughter, who was only a few months old.
Liao Zhi said that at that time, her eyes were dark, and she tried her best to touch her daughter's cold body, "I grabbed her hard, I wanted to say something to my daughter, but my brain was blank." ”
The mother-in-law was just crying and coaxing her granddaughter, and soon there was no sound.
Liao Zhi was desperate and sad, and wanted to move his body close to them, but because his legs were pressed down, he could not move.
After surviving the ruins for 26 hours, Liao Zhi was rescued, but faced with amputation.
However, Liao Zhi, who survived the earthquake, has no relatives anymore. She had a conflict with her husband before the earthquake, and after the earthquake, his husband ignored her and did not go to the hospital to take care of her.
No one even signed the surgery sheet, and Liao Zhi was desperate. She gritted her teeth and insisted, saying to the doctor, "I'll sign it myself." ”
Second, try to live
Liao Zhi survived, but how should she face life?
It is difficult for a person to live without legs, and it is not easy to find a job, not to mention that Liao Zhi is a woman, with no home, and no one to rely on.
The reality can no longer be changed, and people must try to survive no matter what.
Although she lost her legs, Liao Zhi did not want to give up her dream of dancing, and she hoped that she could become a legless dancer.
During her treatment at the hospital, she began to adhere to basic dance training, hoping to be able to take the stage again a day earlier.
Fortunately, when Ren Honglin, choreographer of the 58th Miss World Organizing Committee, came to the hospital to visit Liao Zhi, she had a sudden idea, hoping that she could use the drum as a prop to choreograph a dance to inspire the people affected by the disaster.
Liao Zhi gladly accepted the sudden task, although she knew how difficult the situation she was about to face would be.
At that time, she had only completed the operation for less than a month, the activity was not very convenient, and she was still waiting for a second operation.
But she knew that if she didn't accept the challenge, it might be difficult to get born again.
Since then, she has had to endure severe pain for 3 hours of training every day. After each rehearsal, the gauze on her legs became a blood bag.
For this opportunity to take the stage, she postponed the second operation again and again.
If you work hard, there will be hope.
On the day of the party, Liao Zhi, who had lost his legs, dressed in red, knelt on a large drum and performed a dance called "Encouragement".
It was also in this performance that she found the meaning of living, she said: "I hope to use my unique life to influence more people, I believe this is the purpose of Heaven to let me live!" ”
Third, what happened to her later
No one can imagine how wonderful Liao Zhi, who lost his legs, will have a wonderful life later!
She fitted herself with a pair of prosthetics, began to learn to walk, and continued to practice dance.
Seeing her smiling face, no one could have imagined the suffering she had experienced. Especially seeing her wearing a prosthetic leg and stepping on a light step, no one can resist not being shocked by her dance!
Liao Zhi stood up, she was not knocked down by the difficulties.
The reason why she works so hard is to use her own example and tell those who are as handicapped as she is: no matter what happens, it is impossible to always be the loveliest version of herself.
Seeing her hard work and optimistic attitude, many TV stations and media have successively thrown invitations to her to participate in various activities, and even the CCTV "Dance Out of My Life" variety show also invited her to perform on stage.
When Liao Zhi became a true legless dancer, she also ushered in her own happiness!
While installing the fake, she meets Charles, a good-hearted, caring big boy.
In 2014, the two married and two years later had a common daughter.
In 2020, the couple founded the "Morning Star Home" together, which specializes in providing professional prosthetic services for people with disabilities, bringing them hope and happiness with enthusiasm.
IV. Conclusion
Although Liao Zhi's limbs are mutilated, she shows us a perfect life with her unique life.
Her smile, her dance, makes people feel a kind of optimistic and upward power.
At this time, if you are in a state of confusion, Mi Sauce suggests that you can check out Liao Zhi's dance video, which I believe will inspire you.
What Liao Zhi's future holds, no one knows. But for her now, I sincerely admire her, and hope that in the future, she will still not forget her original intention and always be the most lovely self.
