On July 14, 2008, at the final of the Miss World Chongqing Division, "Disabled Dancer" Liao Zhi stunned the audience.
She sat on her knees on a huge drum, her exposed face was delicate and beautiful, her slender figure was wrapped in a bright red dance dress, and the drumsticks and drums she held made a low and powerful sound, bringing a double shock of strength and beauty.
However, after the dance, people were surprised to find that this beautiful girl had no feet.
When a bundle of sympathetic or inquiring eyes was projected onto Liao Zhi's body, her expression did not change, but the smile at the corner of her mouth was unusually bright, and the audience in the audience looked at her and involuntarily clapped.
In the thunderous applause, the tears in Liao Zhi's eyes finally could no longer be contained and fell.
For 61 days, she went from losing her legs to getting back on her feet to back on stage, tasting almost everything. At this moment, Liao Zhi understands,
The past could not be traced, and the only thing she could do was to look forward and continue to move forward.
Why did "disabled dancer" Liao Zhi make such an exclamation, and how did she lose her legs?
He painted a beautiful dance with his feet, but his dream was shattered by a disaster
Liao Zhi was born in 1985 in Mianzhu City, Sichuan Province. It is only more than 60 kilometers away from Wenchuan, which countless people remember painfully, and when the Wenchuan earthquake occurred, Mianzhu also shook the mountain and suffered heavy damage in the strong earthquake.
However, all this is still far away for the young Liao Zhi.
Her life is marked by the age of 23. Before the age of 23, the years were quiet, because she was good-looking, very loved by the elders, and there was never a shortage of admirers around her, but unlike her beautiful appearance, she was a person who could endure hardships.
Many girls have delicate habits that they don't have in her. On the contrary, she is also a bit of a "rough guy".
For example, when practicing dance, where there is a bump and fall, I will pat myself on the butt and stand up, and not a single tear will fall. Only when the teacher scolded her for not jumping well, she would cry a handful of tears and snot in grievance.
It was this kind of hard work that made Liao Zhi eventually become a professional dancer, and the organization invited her to be a dance teacher.
Liao Zhi readily agreed. After work, in addition to taking on some commercial performances, most of her time is spent teaching dance classes, because of the good teaching, there are many parents who compete to send their children to her, and everyone praises teacher Liao "Bashi".
In terms of emotional life, Liao Zhi also found what he thought was "Prince Charming".
Although her husband is 11 years older than her, Liao Zhi's married life is still very harmonious, and the two gave birth to their daughter Worm almost as soon as they got married. Sometimes, in order to facilitate the care of the granddaughter, the mother-in-law will also take the initiative to come to help.
Considerate husband, enlightened mother-in-law, lovely daughter... Liao Zhi thought that life would continue like this until 2008, when a major earthquake that shocked China and foreign countries was already brewing.
On May 12, the weather began to turn hot, and Liao Zhi watched the children at home.
She remembered her friend's invitation two days ago: to go to Sanya to relax, but turned her head to look at her sleeping daughter and gave up again. You can go again after the distraction, but the worms have suffered from a cold these two days and have a little cough.
The mother-in-law saw that she was absent-minded, and chatted with her one by one:
"If you really leave the worm, I think you can't rest assured even if you go out of the far door."
Liao Zhi did not deny it, but he did not expect his mother-in-law to become a slur.
At 14:28 p.m., the whole heaven and earth seemed to be shaking. The first person to feel the earthquake was Liao Zhi, and before her brain could react, her body had already taken the lead in swooping towards the child, trying to circle a piece of heaven and earth with her arms.
However, everything was too fast. Almost a second or two, chandeliers, roofs, beams... Everything fell towards them, and when the dust settled, Liao Zhi's first thought was his daughter.
"Bugs?"
She tentatively called out her daughter's name, but did not respond. How can a child who is not yet one year old not cry or make a fuss, and not make any noise at all?
She couldn't think straight, and she didn't dare to think deeply. As long as there is a slight possibility, she will save her daughter out.
But time in the ruins is desperate. The mother-in-law's voice gradually weakened, and then there was silence, darkness... Liao Zhi felt a faint pain in his leg, probably because the steel pipe that had been inserted into it had caused inflammation.
"Ding-dong, ding-ding, ding-ding-ding- The song did not help her retrieve her daughter, but it gave her hope of life.
After the Wenchuan earthquake, there are no legs, and there can be a stage
Just when Liao Zhi thought that she would become a cold corpse like her mother-in-law and daughter, she vaguely heard her father's voice, shouting her name, "Liao Zhi, Liao Zhi!" ”
She did not want to respond, the death of her daughter deeply stung her, how to make her face the future life without a daughter?
However, my father's voice never stopped, coming from near and far, even if it had finally become hoarse. I don't know when, Liao Zhi's tears had already filled her face, and she couldn't hold on any longer.
"Dad, Dad! I'm here, I'm here wow..."
By the time the search and rescue team found Liao Zhi, she had been buried for nearly 30 hours. The search and rescue team at the scene simply bandaged her injured leg, but even so, when she was taken to the hospital, the doctor shook her head.
"Doctor, can't I get my legs?"
Even though Liao Zhi was prepared at the beginning, she still felt dizzy before the truth came. As a dancer, but without dancing legs, can she continue to dance in the future?
No one could answer her question. Liao Zhi caressed the legs that were already unconscious, and made a decision at that moment.
"Doctor, please amputate me." "No regrets?" "No regrets."
When she was pushed into the operating room, Liao Zhi's eyes stayed on her parents for a long time.
She did not have her own daughter, but she could not let her parents have no daughter, even if she "survived", she had to live bravely.
The operation was successful, but Liao Zhi's lower limbs were also amputated from the knee near the thigh.
In the hospital room, she and her husband had their first long conversation after being rescued. As if telepathically, Liao Zhi asked his inner question, "Are there anyone outside?" Why don't you call my name when you save people? ”
Whether the husband has cheated or not, no one knows except Liao Zhi. But their marriage also eventually broke down.
After losing her daughter and lover, Liao Zhi was depressed for a while, and if it were not for the company of her parents, she might never be able to return to the original smiling and noisy girl.
By chance, Liao Zhi learns that Miss World will hold a final in Chongqing, and choreographer Ren Honglin is looking for a unique dancer, "Inspiration", who can inspire people with dance after the disaster.
No one was optimistic about Liao Zhi, even though she had once been a good dancer, but now she didn't even have her feet.
But Liao Zhi herself did not think so, without her feet, she still had her legs, and her hands... As long as the stage needs her, the audience needs him, as long as she can still dance, she will insist on jumping.
It was the love of her life and the belief that she was willing to give everything for it.
Therefore, in the whole two months of preparation, Liao Zhi began to adapt to the lack of feet, re-practiced the basic skills, and then made the movements coherently, almost every step was a hundred times more difficult than before, but she never gave up.
The wounded cloth was soaked with blood, so she changed it and started again, until she went on the stage, she did not relax, and in the end, her performance surprised the audience and became a "red" that could not be ignored on the stage that day.
Strong dancers meet their own prosthetic technicians
After coming down from the stage of Miss World, Liao Zhi did not indulge in the various commercial performances and activities that flocked to him.
Partly because of her injuries, on the other hand she wanted to find a pair of prosthetics suitable for dancing. All the shops sell ordinary prosthetics, which are only suitable for walking, and some can't even run with large spans.
Liao Zhi was not reconciled. She didn't want to be in a wheelchair or be seen sympathetically, and she wanted to keep dancing.
So, she embarked on a long journey to find a dancing prosthesis.
In 2013, the CCTV program "Dance Out of My Life" invited her to participate, and the prosthesis also had news.
At a branch office in Shanghai, charles, a prosthetic technician, received her. Although he is a technician, he is actually a technician in charge of prosthetics, for example, this Charles is an excellent graduate of the Ivy League University in the United States.
In the relationship with Charles, the smile on Liao Zhi's face grew more and more.
Unlike the others, he not only did not preconceive her as a disabled person, showing an uncomfortable sympathy and humility, but instead he regarded her as an ordinary, able-bodied girl.
During her orthodontic training on weekdays, Charles would often climb up and down with Liao Zhi to train her ability to adapt to prosthetics.
Over time, Liao Zhi would involuntarily think of Charles during training, and Charles always showed a unique treatment of Liao Zhi, and both of them noticed the change in the other. Finally, after four months of acquaintance, Charles confessed.
Liao Zhi did not immediately agree, the end of the previous marriage, and the physical mutilation made her suffer from loss and loss.
But Charles didn't give up. Under the boy's relentless pursuit, Liao Zhi finally agreed to Charles's marriage proposal.
A year later, the two married in Vancouver, USA. When Charles squatted down to put on a prosthesis for himself, Liao Zhi knew that this time, he was in love with someone.
Today, Liao Zhi and Charles have moved to Shanghai. On weekdays, Liao Zhi also goes dancing, but she also pays attention to the industry where her husband works, prosthetic services, and often provides some useful advice from her own perspective.
The couple's life is also very happy. In 2016, Liao Zhi gave birth to his first child with Charles, and in honor of the worm, they would call her a song.
Two years later, she gave birth to a second boy, both children and daughters, together into a "good" word.
Liao Zhi and Charles also never shy away from talking about their mother's legs in front of their children, in Song Song's view, mother is a superhero as powerful as Iron Man, and may also emit a "laser laser"!
And Liao Zhi laughs every time she hears it, she has a different view of suffering:
"If I hadn't experienced a disaster, I wouldn't have felt so much empathy for the affected group, and if I hadn't had an amputation, I wouldn't have had such a strong sense of mission for the disabled group."
She paused, and then she said,
"Thanks for the suffering... There is nothing left in my life that I can squander, so I must cherish every day, and I must grasp every day. ”
