Jiang Mengnan
On March 3, 2022, on the stage that moved China, light and shadow changed and were beautiful, and a woman slowly walked in beautiful and solemn music.
She wears a black jacket, her hair is slightly curly on both sides, her skin is fair, her features are beautiful, and she has a gentle smile on her face from time to time.
Her name is Jiang Mengnan, and this woman who is really as gentle and beautiful as Jiangnan is the winner of the Person of the Year who moved China.
In the face of the host, she fell generously, advanced and retreated, a smile revealed a clear intellect, looking at her, the audience showed a moving look.
Jiang Mengnan is moving China
At first glance, Jiang Mengnan seems to be just an ordinary cute girl, but she has a special charm in her.
What made this young post-90s girl touch the hearts of the national audience, make countless people cry, and embark on the stage of moving China?
In an ordinary family in Chenzhou, Hunan Province, in the 1990s, a couple revolved around their daughter as usual.
The child looked only a few years old, but the expression on his face was serious like that of a big child in school.
The parents were teaching their children, and the mother looked at her daughter tenderly, saying something softly with her mouth in place and an exaggerated expression.
Jiang Mengnan's family of three
But the daughter seemed a little indifferent, just staring at her mother's mouth.
The mother was not in a hurry, and she repeated the words she had just said with the same expression. Once, twice, three times... Gradually, the child's face showed a little trance expression.
The mother was overjoyed, and repeated the iron while it was hot, and took her daughter's hand and gently placed it on her throat, so that her daughter could feel the vibration of the vocal cords.
After a few more times like this, the little girl's face finally showed a sweet smile, and the woman also touched the child's head with excitement, and her heart was both relieved and bitter.
Since Jiang Mengnan grew up a little, such scenes have occurred at home every day.
Jiang Mengnan was born in 1992 in the expectation and love of his parents in this teacher's family.
Her name is her parents' best wishes for her - to be as quiet as the Gangnam in her dreams.
Under the careful care of his parents, Jiang Mengnan grew up to half a year old healthily, but the accident also quietly lurked in the shadows, giving the family an unexpected blow.
Jiang Mengnan, who was a few months old, had a high fever of 40 degrees due to pneumonia infection, and it could not subside for a long time.
At this time, her parents needed to take care of Jiang Mengnan's sick grandfather and lived in the countryside 100 kilometers away.
The father who hurried home was impatient and immediately rushed to the city hospital with Xiao Mengnan for treatment.
Under the treatment of the hospital, Xiao Mengnan finally had a fever after a week, holding her daughter who had recovered her health, and Father Jiang was relieved. We don't know that the real doom is still to come.
Although Xiao Mengnan who returned home looked almost sick, he was a bit dull.
Usually, when adults tease this child, Xiao Mengnan will react accordingly, but now no matter how to talk to the child, Xiao Mengnan does not have a trace of expression on his face.
Parents can't figure out how their originally agile daughter has a fever and becomes like this.
When they took the child to the big hospital in Changsha for examination, the result left the couple with two lines of tears.
The doctor told Jiang's father and mother that Xiao Mengnan could no longer hear the sound below 150 decibels, which was extremely severe neurotic deafness.
The couple, who could not believe anything, went to one big hospital after another for examination, but the results were so clearly in front of them.
Holding their daughter, who could no longer return to normal, the couple felt for the first time what despair was. As the children grow up day by day, Xiao Mengnan needs enlightenment and needs to communicate with others.
The choice in front of them is for Xiao Mengnan to learn sign language and enter a special school in the future.
As parents, they are reluctant to choose this path for Xiao Mengnan.
In their eyes, their children are always the best, and once they acquiesce to the child's disability, then she will never be able to get rid of this hat.
So they chose another thorny path, that is, to let the children live like normal people, learn lip language, and go to ordinary schools.
What was the opportunity that made them make this choice?
At the beginning, Jiang Mengnan's parents spent 300 yuan to buy a pair of hearing aids for their children to wear, although they had long been told that Jiang Mengnan's hearing loss would not be useful.
But Jiang Mengnan's parents did not give up, insisting on speaking in Xiao Mengnan's ear every day, hoping that a miracle would occur, and the result was that the child was still stupid.
Just as the couple fell into despair, Jiang Mengnan's inadvertent move ignited their hopes again.
Once, a one-and-a-half-year-old Mengnan was playing with her own leather ball, while her parents were watching her figure from the side, but her heart was anxious.
Suddenly the ball rolled away at once, and the anxious Little Mengnan suddenly shouted a pronunciation similar to "Mom".
The couple sensitively captured the voice, and they looked at each other with a look of joy in their eyes.
All along, no matter how many methods the couple used, Xiao Mengnan never said a word.
Excitedly, they let the child shout "Mom" again, and Xiao Mengnan's round eyes watched them make that natural sound again.
This ignited all the enthusiasm of the couple, and they finally decided to teach the children in the most stupid and tiring way, so that Xiao Mengnan could learn the language according to the shape of his mouth.
In order to better teach her daughter, Jiang Mu took her child to the Hunan Deaf and Dumb Speech Rehabilitation Center, and under her unremitting efforts, Jiang Mu also obtained the qualification certificate of special education teacher.
In the silent world, the learning of language is long and arduous, no sound can be heard, Xiao Mengnan only uses his own eyes to observe, use his own brain to think.
Xiao Mengnan gradually groped out of the doorway from a state of ignorance about everything, and slowly she could roughly distinguish the language information through the mouth shape of others.
The sound can be ever-changing, and the corresponding subtle change in mouth shape will lead to different results, and young children, looking at their mother's mouth in the mirror, make the same action themselves.
She will also have times of doubt, there will be times of panic, and there will be times of wanting to give up.
It was the patience of the parents, and the indescribable joy of acquiring new knowledge, that made this ignorant child get up after falling down again and again.
To others, it seems that the communication is effortless, in fact, she has worked hard for ten years.
In order to exercise the ability of tongue movement, Jiang Mengnan began to learn to use bubble gum to blow bubbles from an early age, and he could blow out various tricks when he was more than one year old.
The walls of the home are also plastered with wallpapers for different children's common word learning, and as long as Xiao Mengnan looks up, she will see the patterns of flowers and greenery, as well as the corresponding text.
At the age of two, Jiang Mengnan's language ability, who could not hear, had caught up with the level of his peers.
Jiang Mengnan grew up a little and went to an ordinary kindergarten, and everything seemed to be going in a good direction.
But by the age of 6, Jiang Mengnan was supposed to go to the first grade with her classmates, but because of her hearing impairment, she was left in kindergarten for another year.
Jiang Mengnan was interviewed
At her school, the preschool was only one step away from the first-grade classroom.
When she ushered in the new semester, her former familiar classmates warmly waved to her, and then turned to the steps above.
He was left in preschool. The back of that turn made her realize for the first time that she was different from others, and loss and incomprehension hung over her young heart.
Such an impact has also become the driving force for Xiao Mengnan's continuous efforts, she does not want to be left behind, nor does she want to be different from others.
After the first grade, greater difficulties await Jiang Mengnan.
Because it was dozens of people in the class, Xiao Mengnan, who listened to the class according to the teacher's lip type, sometimes could not see the teacher's expression. This makes the content she gets always intermittent.
In order to keep up with the progress of others, she had to pay more hard work. So every day, Jiang Mengnan had to prepare what he would learn in advance with his parents, who were junior high school teachers.
At the school, Jiang Mengnan took the initiative to ask the teacher to sit in the first row of the classroom to facilitate the observation of the teacher's mouth shape.
During the holidays, when other students were playing, Jiang Mengnan was already at home learning the teaching content of the next semester with his parents.
With this kind of strength, Jiang Mengnan, who was listed as an auditor by the school, has always been among the best in his grades and has never fallen out of the top three of the class.
In the summer vacation at the end of the fourth grade, Jiang Mengnan proposed to his parents with confidence that he wanted to skip the class. The back of the preschool classmates who turned forward, Jiang Mengnan had not forgotten.
With excellent grades, she now has the courage to catch up with them.
Her parents were very supportive of her decision, so during that holiday season, the family of three was busier than usual.
In the small living room, three figures were piled together, and from time to time there was the sound of soft reading.
In the end, Jiang Mengnan won the praise of the principal with her own efforts and strength, and she also successfully promoted to the sixth grade, making up for her regrets 5 years ago.
In the five years of primary school, the cold and summer come and go, time flies, and what has not changed is the girl's stubborn wish and indomitable will.
With the help of his parents and the care of his teachers and classmates, Jiang Mengnan successfully graduated from primary school.
In the collective life, Jiang Mengnan realized her own shortcomings very early, although she could communicate through the mouths of others, but when she turned her back, she could not hear others calling her.
Learning difficulties, she can work hard to overcome. However, these pervasive gaps in life often made Jiang Mengnan feel unfair.
She began to think about why. Why can't you hear yourself, why you are weaker than others.
These unsolvable problems made the strong Jiang Mengnan feel lost, and sometimes when she thought of her own specialness, she would silently shed tears.
In her short life experience, she had always known that perhaps she would ask her parents for a solution to the problem.
Her parents, who had been silently supporting her, looked into her eyes and told Jiang Mengnan with a standard mouth: Since the facts cannot be changed, then they can only change themselves and let themselves overcome difficulties.
Young Jiang Mengnan always remembered the words of her parents, and she thought that since she wanted to change herself, she should start with independence.
So in the summer of the year when she was about to enter junior high school, she offered her parents to go to a school 100 kilometers away.
Growth is cumulative, and growing up seems to be only a moment.
Carrying a heavy bag, she walked into the school without looking back, leaving her parents for the first time, which was also her first step towards the sea of stars.
In the junior high school life in a different place, Jiang Mengnan continued to maintain good study habits.
This time, parents could not always be around, and whenever the students poured out after school, Jiang Mengnan still sat in his seat and studied the teacher's board book.
Jiang Mengnan is the most special student of this school, but also the most special student, her hard work and strength are seen by teachers and classmates.
The student who had been predicted to receive only special education stood with the able-bodied children and stood taller than they did.
As a child, Jiang Mengnan was rejected by ordinary schools, but at the age of 15, she was already accepted by the key high school in Chenzhou City.
During the stay, Jiang Mengnan could not hear the bell, but there was never a case of being late.
Her trick is to hold the phone in her hand every night before going to bed, and the phone has already set up a vibrating alarm clock.
The next day, as long as he felt the vibration in his hands, Jiang Mengnan would wake up immediately.
But won't the hand let go when you're asleep?
In the face of doubts, Jiang Mengnan only smiled slightly, and Yun said lightly: No, if there is something important, it will not let go.
It seems that this is just a small matter without teeth, but it is precisely this impeccable willpower and sense of faith that makes Jiang Mengnan grit his teeth and insist no matter what.
When Jiang Mengnan walked into the college entrance examination hall for the first time, the final score exceeded a score line of two points, which was a pretty good result for a child without hearing.
But Jiang Mengnan was very dissatisfied, this time the play did not meet her expectations, in her heart, there are more ambitious goals.
She has always been very assertive, and once again made a decisive decision in her studies, just as she had put forward her own ideas to her parents many times in the past, and Jiang Mengnan told her parents: I want to re-read.
Parents are distressed by the pressure that the child will have to go through, but they also appreciate the child's ambition.
Jiang Mengnan once again grasped the steering wheel of life and rewarded this year's intense review with excellent results.
With the dream of going to a distant place, Jiang Mengnan applied for Jilin University, she bid farewell to her parents, and took the train to the north alone.
The scenery outside the window is constantly receding, while Jiang Mengnan is constantly advancing.
Jiang Mengnan is studying pharmacy, because of her own disabilities, but also because of the people who pulled herself along the way, she now also wants to hold an umbrella for others.
Studying medicine and saving the world is her simple and persistent dream.
During his studies at Jilin University, Jiang Mengnan won various scholarships again and again, published papers that were included in SCI, and successfully admitted to graduate school of Jilin University.
Jiang Mengnan's every step is steady and powerful, and this strong girl did not stop at graduate students, in 2018, she became a doctoral candidate in the School of Life Sciences of Tsinghua University.
Before coming to the dormitory, Jiang Mengnan's roommate Li Le knew that she had a hearing-impaired classmate, and she felt a little nervous, and she was also worried that she would have the powerlessness to face the weak.
But when she saw Jiang Mengnan, she saw not a weak and poor disabled person, but a sunflower that always sunburned, and she fell deeply in love with this girl at that moment.
Not out of pity for the strong for the weak, but out of the yearning for the vigorous vitality of the vigorous and upward, she understood that Jiang Mengnan was the ruler of her own life.
Jiang Mengnan has never put a weak identity on herself, and she has always tacitly acknowledged that she is the same as others, or even better than others, which is also the goal she constantly pursues.
In the academy where the masters are like clouds, she is still the radiant bully.
In the eyes of her classmates, no matter what academic difficulties she encounters, as long as she gives it to Jiang Mengnan, she can give the most perfect answer.
It was also in 18 years that Jiang Mengnan installed a cochlear implant for the first time, and when some noisy sounds came from the ears of others, Jiang Mengnan was so grateful for the gifts of heaven for the first time.
In 2022, Jiang Mengnan's deeds once again spread throughout the north and south of the great river, and she was named "Moving China 2021 Person of the Year".
At the award ceremony, the evaluation given to her by the organizing committee was: the bird that flies first must want to fly farther; you who are late blooming are also blooming like flowers.
This is an accurate depiction of Jiang Mengnan for more than twenty years. It is also a compliment to her efforts.
Jiang Mengnan walked to the podium with her favorite song "Invisible Wings", surrounded by flowers.
At this moment, those silent tears formed the most beautiful fireworks.
