In the mainland Gansu Province, there is such a young man who has touched countless people.
Premature birth left the child's body with endless hidden dangers, a fever caused the body to be buried for a long time, the child less than 1 year old was directly diagnosed with cerebral palsy.
In the face of the pressure of life and the ups and downs of fate, this disabled child is still uplifting, even if he dances in shackles, he still enters Lanzhou University with a high score of 262 on multiple choice questions.
He is Xie Yanting, who is disabled and fighting against fate.
Xie Yanting
01, bad news came
Xie Yanting was born in 1992 to an ordinary family in Lanzhou, Gansu Province.
He has been different since birth, he was born prematurely, more than 50 days earlier than the average baby's birth time, which caused Xie Yanting's weight to be far below the standard.
Xie Yanting's parents did not care too much, they felt that as long as the children were supplemented with nutrients, the children could thrive and grow.
However, contrary to expectations, when Xie Yanting was 11 months old, the family ushered in the darkest moment.
One day, Xie Yanting suddenly fell ill, and his parents thought it was just a common cold and fever, but when they sent Xie Yanting to the hospital for examination, the doctor told Xie Yanting's parents that Xie Yanting had a very serious cerebral palsy.
The doctor said to Xie Yanting: "This is a persistent central motor and postural development disorders, limited mobility diseases, in the future the child's language ability, behavior, etc. will be different from ordinary people, if serious, life can not take care of themselves, life needs to be taken care of by others for life." ”
This news was nothing short of a thunderbolt on a sunny day for Xie Yanting's parents. Only then did they react, and it turned out that Xie Yanting had not been able to walk because of insufficient nutrition, but because he suffered from this incurable disease!
Xie Yanting's parents were all gray, they carried Xie Yanting back home, the two of them sat on the sofa for a long time, watching their son's every move, and their hearts were full of pain.
Liu Xiaofeng cried and said, "This child, I'm afraid that the heavens sent me down to punish me, will suffer physical pain at a young age..."
Xie Yanting's father advised her, and he said slowly: "Don't say so, God has given us a gift, although the son is a little special, but we must carefully cultivate." ”
There is no parent under the heavens who does not want their children to be healthy and healthy, and now that their children have this disease, what can they do in the future? I don't know what my life will be like in the future, and I don't know how to go in the future.
When the relatives and friends around them learned about the child's affairs, they all persuaded each other to let Xie Yanting's parents have a healthy child and give up this bitter child.
After some deliberation, Xie Yanyan's parents politely declined their kind suggestion.
After all, his son Xie Yanyan was the flesh that fell from her mother's body, how could she not be distressed? No matter how the child is in health, it is her child. She secretly swore in her heart that she must be kind to her children.
After consultation, Xie Yanting's parents agreed that they should raise Xie Yanting well and would never give up their only treasure at any time.
Since then, Xie Yanting's parents have taken more time to spend with their children. Walk with children, chat with children, play games with children, tell stories to children, and let children enjoy the same beautiful childhood as other children.
Gradually, Xie Yanting's parents found that although the child's mobility was basically absent, Xie Yanting's intelligence level was normal, and even in some respects it was higher than that of many ordinary children.
This is indeed a blessing in misfortune, and it also makes Xie Yanting's parents see a glimmer of hope in despair.
Gradually, Xie Yanting grew up, and when she reached the age when it was time to go to school, the mother watched her son walk and tiptoe up and down, it was almost difficult to say a complete sentence, and her heart was broken.
How can a child go to school to receive an education like this! Where is there a school willing to accept a student with cerebral palsy?
This matter was like a rock pressing on her mother's heart, and time passed day by day, and this stone gradually overwhelmed her breathlessly.
02. Impart knowledge
Xie Yanting's mother became more and more anxious, and she approached the whole family to discuss how to let Xie Yanting go to school. There is certainly no way to go to school, and probably no teacher is willing to accept such students.
After discussion with the family, a decision was made: they took turns as teachers, imparting knowledge to Xie Yanting and letting him receive home education.
They took turns teaching Xie Yanting for a while, and sure enough, he was the same as his mother expected, although Xie Yanting had problems in all aspects of his body, his movement coordination was not good, and his body was sometimes out of control, but he was no less than others in intelligence.
However, new problems arose, and although Xie Yanting's intelligence level was not worse than others, his physical condition was not optimistic.
Xie Yanting's limbs would always twitch uncontrollably, and when it was severe, he could not even hold the pen tightly, which had a great impact on his learning.
Liu Xiaofeng moved a table and beckoned Xie Yanting to sit next to her, she watched her son walk, and tears flowed involuntarily.
Xie Yanting, who was filial and sensible, limped to his mother in front of him, strongly supporting the shaking body, and he stammered: "Mother, I have made up my mind to learn, no matter how big the road ahead is, I have to find a way to overcome." ”
Liu Xiaofeng looked into his eyes and felt pain in his heart.
She muttered in her heart: "This child is so strong at a young age, as a parent, she is even more reluctant to give up her son." ”
One day, Liu Xiaofeng was ready to go out to buy vegetables, and before leaving, he instructed his son.
Liu Xiaofeng said: "I went out to buy vegetables and will be back soon." You finish the last five math problems in the sixth grade, and the remaining five problems are counted tomorrow. ”
Xie Yanting silently nodded in agreement.
When Liu Xiaofeng returned from buying vegetables, he saw that his son's limbs were twitching, and he was meticulously trying to calculate the problem next to a finger. When she arrived, Xie Yanting was unaware.
There was a tenacious and indomitable tenacity in his bones, which made Liu Xiaofeng burst into tears.
Xie Yanting's family paid unimaginable time and energy, up to 9 years, Xie Yanting under the education of his parents, at home to learn all the cultural courses of primary school, junior high school.
In the past 9 years, probably no one knows how this family survived, and no one knows how Xie Yanting persevered.
Sometimes when he was tired of studying, Xie Yanting was lying by the window, watching the children playing outside, and his face was full of longing and envy.
At this time, Liu Xiaofeng will walk over and tell his son that although his body is inconvenient, his heart cannot be disabled.
We must set up lofty ideals, as long as people have dreams, they are no different from others, as long as they make efforts, even you will be better than others.
Therefore, we must change the current situation through our own efforts, and continue to work hard to move towards the door to success.
Moreover, physical deficiencies can be made up by hard work, and must not be indulged in entertainment, in the age of the effort to choose comfortable, can not waste time, must overcome the temptations and difficulties around them, and constantly forge ahead.
Liu Xiaofeng always said to Xie Yanting: "You are no different from other children, other children are studying at school, but you can study at home, and learning at home and school is the same." At home, mom and dad will accompany you..."
Xie Yanting nodded slightly, "I... know...... That's it. ”
His mother's earnest teachings flowed like a warm current into his long-depleted heart.
Just as Xie Yanting was preparing to study high school courses at home, bad news came and his father died of a sudden heart attack. Faced with the change of family, he is sensible and tenacious, and he almost completes all the knowledge in the high by himself.
Whenever Liu Xiaofeng walked on the street with Xie Yanting, he would attract strange eyes from the people around him.
Once, Liu Xiaofeng helped Xie Yanting to the street, met two long-tongued women, and one of them looked at Xie Yanting and said dismissively: "You look at this child, it is like a clown." Another woman was also secretly laughing when she heard it.
At this time, Liu Xiaofengsheng was afraid that Xie Yanting would be hit when he heard it.
She hurriedly stepped forward and patted her son's shoulder and said, "You are the most special, your life is unique, you see, so many people are silently watching you and caring about you, this is something to be happy about..."
03, eager for the college entrance examination
In this way, time moved forward as smoothly as flowing water, the days passed slowly, the waves were not alarming, and Xie Yanting slowly grew up.
Although he did not really experience group life, his parents' meticulous care and cordial care for decades allowed Xie Yanting to grow up slowly in a difficult environment.
Xie Yanting has been studying at home for so many years, and he has also achieved good results in learning.
However, when children of the same age changed their fate through the stage of the college entrance examination, Xie Yanting also came to a crossroads in life.
Participating in the college entrance examination, like other children, through the college entrance examination also changes their own destiny, this is the hope of the whole family, but also Xie Yanting's dream.
He had enough confidence in himself, but the muscle weakness and limb twitching caused by cerebral palsy made him unable to write all the answers to the high exam paper within the specified time, which made Xie Yanting feel very headache.
In order to meet the long-cherished wish of her son for many years, but also for the sake of her child's future development, Xie Yanting's mother almost ran all over the nearby education department to consult the relevant situation.
She wore a few pairs of shoes, said something out of her mind, and finally decided to let him take the 2011 college entrance examination as a social person.
This is hard for everyone to believe, because a person with cerebral palsy cannot answer the exam paper in a limited time under any circumstances.
Xie Yanting is dissatisfied with the status quo, and he still longs to enter the examination room like other students and take the college entrance examination to realize his college dream.
Because of the weakness of the four muscles caused by cerebral palsy, Xie Yanting's hands could not hold the pen at all, and he could only barely hold a finger to jam the neutral pen, practice at home for four or five days, and tick out a box of multiple choice questions.
Xie Yanting and his family once again used their own efforts to prove to everyone that as long as they can work hard, nothing is impossible.
The college entrance examination finally came, and Xie Yanting, under the leadership of his parents, entered the examination room he had longed for for a long time.
Xie Yanting is not afraid of danger in the examination room, has a strong psychological quality, plays a stable role, has a full score of 280 points in science multiple choice questions, Xie Yanting scored 262 points, and the mathematical part of the multiple choice questions is all correct.
Such outstanding results undoubtedly made Xie Yanting himself proud, and his mother felt extremely pleased.
04. The only auditor at Lanzhou University
Xie Yanting's multiple choice score is close to perfect, but the registration system of the Education Bureau is not smart enough to filter the scores of each answer area, and the total score of 262 cannot even touch the admission threshold of the college.
Mother Liu Xiaofeng looked at her son, who had been studying hard at home alone, and felt very sad, with Xie Yanting's current level, she and her family were no longer able to teach him knowledge.
If you want to continue to climb the peak of learning, you have to find another way. Liu Xiaofeng understands that only by going to college can children be exposed to a higher level of knowledge, so that he can truly enter society and integrate into it.
At the same time, Liu Xiaofeng took his son's report card and quickly contacted the leaders of Lanzhou University and told the school leaders about his son's flaws and "superhuman" talent in mathematics.
The heavens pay off. Fortunately, Teacher Zhang Heping, who is the dean of the School of Mathematics at Lanzhou University, was deeply touched by Xie Yanting's thirst for knowledge.
After a meeting to study, the School of Mathematics and Statistics of Lanzhou University decided to make an exception to recruit Xie Yanting as an auditor for the class of 2011.
05, Maxima meets Bole
Although Xie Yanting had a little regret in his heart, that is, there was no degree certificate and graduation certificate, but Lanzhou University was the only local double-first-class university affiliated with the "211" and "985" projects.
Xie Yanting can enter such a double first-class university, that is a glorious thing, is his dream all along.
Xie Yanting thus smoothly entered the door of Lanzhou University, although he was only an auditor, but this was something he did not dare to think of since he was a child!
Being able to enter the university, and being a first-class university, has made Xie Yanting and his family very happy. After Xie Yanting entered the university, he met the "Bole" in his life.
This "Bo Le" was Professor Xu Shoujun, who was contacted by Xie Yanting's mother at that time.
When Professor Xu Shoujun knew that Xie Yanting had completed his studies under extremely bad physical conditions, he first felt a pang of pain, and then looked at Xie Yanyan with admiration, and he also gave this special student more care.
Professor Xu Shoujun (left)
Every time Xu Shoujun went to class, Xie Yanting was very serious, although he could not take notes like other students, but he sat very upright and listened very attentively.
Seeing this student with limited mobility working so hard, Xu Shoujun was moved by it, and when Xie Yanting walked, he couldn't help but come forward to help him.
After slowly talking and communicating many times, the teachers and students became familiar with each other and became friends who talked about everything.
Xie Yanting's college career began, Teacher Xu looked at him seriously and noticed that this unusual student was working very hard, and Xie Yanting's super memory and understanding shocked Xu Shoujun.
Willing to be a ladder, the growth of students is related. Since then, whenever Xie Yanting encounters problems that he does not understand academically, he always asks Teacher Xu for advice on WeChat or by phone, and Teacher Xu always patiently answers various difficult questions of this diligent and inquisitive young man.
Teacher Xu has not forgotten his vocation as a teacher, and "diligent education" is the best summary of the other side of his life value.
Teacher Xu also felt that Xie Yanting's talent in mathematics was particularly outstanding, so he gave Xie Yanting a lot of care and care, so that Xie Yanting felt the warmth of the silk.
From time to time, Xu Shoujun will also help Xie Yanting to study, test by example, and also discuss some more advanced mathematical problems with Xie Yanting.
He had a talent in mathematics, coupled with the guidance and cultivation of Teacher Xu Shoujun, gradually, Xie Yanting began to make greater progress in mathematical learning.
He is down-to-earth, rigorous and serious in his studies, optimistic and enterprising, and he does his favorite mathematical research step by step, and even sometimes Xie Yanting's insights surprise Xu Shoujun.
Among his students, Xie Yanting's ideas and innovations are different and outstanding.
In the long years, after Xie Yanting's hard study and the help of Professor Xu Shoujun, as well as the unremitting efforts of Xie Yanting's personal mother, Xie Yanting successfully completed all the contents of the university course.
Such an achievement is very high even if it is placed on the body of ordinary people, not to mention Xie Yanyan, a cerebral palsy patient and a twitching limb!
Shushan has a road and a diligent path, learning the sea is endlessly hard work, this sentence is vividly reflected in Xie Yanting's body, and his deeds have touched many people and inspired many peers.
06. Continue further education
Entering the university for further study was not the end of Xie Yanting's life, and he was not satisfied with these achievements, and he often tossed between the classroom and the library.
He not only perfectly completed the requirements in the teaching plan, a total of 150 credits of professional courses, but even successfully completed the graduation thesis of Lanzhou University, and the thesis was written very brilliantly.
Xie Yanting, who graduated from university, did not rush to find a job, but instead developed a strong interest and strong desire for the research topic of his mentor Xu Shounian.
He talked with his mentor and wanted to continue his studies with Mr. Xu, who agreed to this request and he became a master's student.
In 2014, his mentor Xu Shoujun proposed a research topic, which Xie Yanting was very interested in.
He spent more than a year typing nearly 500 pages with a finger, and then Xie Yanting's paper, which he and his teachers, has been published in the academic journal of Australian Combinatorial Studies, which is an international academic journal.
Three years later, xie Yanting, who once again stood on the podium in 2017 to defend, with the assistance of equipment, passed his master's thesis defense and successfully completed various scientific undertakings.
Lanzhou University cherishes talents, and on September 17, 2019, Lanzhou University awarded Xie Yanting the title of honorary graduate student at the 110th anniversary celebration.
He does not stick to the development of the field of textbooks, and applies his theories and research theories to other fields.
In 2022, Xie Yanting audited the third year of the doctoral program, and he still followed his mentor and continued to soar in the ocean of knowledge. Shine in the field of mathematical studies and study your own doctoral program diligently.
As the saying goes: "There is no trace of the flow of light, and there are dreams in life that do not feel cold." ”
This sentence is not false at all on Xie Yanting, who is deeply influenced and infected by his mentor and continues to move forward in the future path of life.
Xie Yanting's ups and downs and tribulations in the process of growing up, sour, sweet, bitter and spicy five-flavor life, are the wealth given to him by God, only those who never shrink back after experiencing various tribulations and tests can achieve something.
He warned in his heart that he hoped that he would be like Hawking and become a useful person to society. In the future, we will study more scientific research results and make our own modest contributions to society. ”
