In 2007, an elegant woman with a tall figure and a good face took to the runway.
This moment, she looked forward to 10 years.
In the end, it lived up to expectations, and after the catwalk, it became a rising star in the modeling world.
Seeing this, it should be out of reach for most people.
10 years ago, in 1997, when her career was at its peak, she lost her hand to the stage due to eye diseases, and then, sadness followed, and the bad news of her father's early death overwhelmed her breathlessly, and eventually, she suffered from depression.
Ten years later, in 2007, she returned to the stage and became a rising star based on her hearing and encouragement.
The marks left on her face by ten years of hardship, almost all obscured by the grace between her raised hands, infected all the guests and spectators present.
It is no exaggeration to say that she is a phoenix nirvana reborn and a warrior who returns triumphantly.
On the stage, she is the queen of personal envy.
As everyone knows, she is a blind person with inconvenient life under the stage.
Wang Leilei has truly achieved "I can't see the world, let the world see me."
She was born in 1980 in Shenyang, Liaoning Province, to an ordinary military family, and it is precisely because of this that Lei Lei has developed an independent personality from an early age.
Not only that, Lei Lei has been a tall and lively beautiful girl since she was a child, and under the love of her parents and the praise of her neighbors and friends, Lei Lei has grown up happily.
Under the confident and independent personality, Lei Lei has always been unable to overcome the darkness.
However, Heaven always likes to make things difficult for beautiful girls, and Wang Leilei was unfortunate to be recruited.
When Wang Leilei was a child, when she was playing hide-and-seek with children at night, she couldn't see it, she thought it was ordinary "night blindness", and she always thought that people were the same as her, so she didn't tell her parents.
Later, she found that as she got older, her vision continued to decline. At first, it was only in the evening when the sky was dark and could not be seen clearly, and slowly, the bright place could not be seen, and the parents thought that the child had poor vision, so they took her to the hospital for examination.
As soon as the results came out, the sky collapsed.
Wang Leilei is very unfortunate, suffering from "retinitis pigmentosa", is a currently incurable "undead cancer", can only rely on treatment to slow down the development of the disease, with age, eventually complete blindness.
Eyes are the windows of the soul, what a good girl, why is it so unfortunate?
After my parents learned about it, it was as if the sky had fallen, and the daughter who had always been proud of it could not grow up healthily? He was annoyed many times and expressed the injustice of heaven. Sadly, knowing that one day her daughter will completely lose her eyes, she still actively cooperates with the doctor to treat her daughter.
Wang Leilei lived a life of fear every day after that.
During school, because of her good genes, she was a little taller than her peers, and she was generally placed in the last row.
Therefore, eager for knowledge, in order to be able to study well, she took the initiative to apply to the first row.
Despite this, she still can't see clearly, and her mood is very distressed, but he did not give up, but turned all his unhappiness into a driving force for learning, because since he was a child, his parents told himself that only by studying hard can he become a better self.
Once, he played with a few classmates, only to hear a few little girls talking about "stars and models", and the classmates chatted boiling and excited, which attracted Wang Leilei's attention.
Because her usual energy is almost all on studying, she rarely pays attention to these "gossip", and she asks her classmates curiously: What is a model?
Students have explained that the model is wearing a beautiful dress every day, walking on the stage, not only can see the scenery around the world, but also make a lot of money.
After Wang Leilei listened, she was more interested.
Subsequently, a sentence from a classmate woke up Wang Leilei, "You are tall and thin, why don't you work as a model?" ”
In this way, Wang Leilei's heart to dream of becoming a model was even more determined, and from then on, she seemed to see a light of her own.
After arriving home, Wang Leilei excitedly announced to her parents: I will become a model in the future and go all over the world!
Parents see their daughter who has not been so happy for a long time, and they are also deeply relieved and express their full support for their daughter's dream!
In the end, Lei Lei decided to come to Shenyang Fashion School to start professional training.
The ideal is beautiful, the reality is cruel!
The requirements of the model are very high, how glamorous on the stage, how hard it is offstage!
But thankfully, Wang Leilei has never felt that training is difficult, because this is her dream, and she naturally enjoys it.
With her unique conditions and hard training, Wang Leilei's heart was full of expectations and surprises.
The reason why she trained hard is that she is looking forward to being on the stage as soon as possible and becoming an excellent model.
And her desperation will make her heavenly care, the eye disease disappears, and the dream come true?
Heaven will not fail those who have perseverance, and this day has come...
At the age of 16, she plucked up enough courage to take the stage and completed her first catwalk in her life.
Although she was often bullied when she first competed in the competition because of her poor eyesight, even so, she won the "Best Performance Award" for her own strength.
In the spotlight, her whole body revolves around an aura of strength and confidence.
The joy after winning the award made Lei Lei more sure that she would be able to go to a bigger stage.
In addition to rejoicing, she knew very well that one day, she would completely "lose her eyes".
Although it has been controlled with drugs, it is still time to come...
In the third year of junior high school, Wang Leilei found that her eyesight was no longer night and day, and even reading books felt more and more laborious.
She was soon blind!
She had thought about giving up, and countless times she had asked herself, did she really have to admit her fate?
However, with her character, it is impossible to give up easily.
Next, While actively looking for doctors to cooperate with treatment, Wang Leilei also found professional teachers for training.
At this point, the opportunity came again.
So with just a little light, she signed up for a national model competition again.
The race was important to him, meaning whether she could take her modeling career to the next level and how far she could go.
During the training process, because of his excellence, the teacher also constantly encouraged her, often standing in front of her to stimulate her potential.
However, as time passed, Wang Leilei's eye disease became more and more serious, resulting in the fact that in the subsequent training, she could not see the road clearly.
At this time, he felt that his situation might not be able to compete in this game, and after a few days of entanglement, he gritted his teeth and found a teacher, with something going on at home, please resign!
In the face of the teacher's questioning, Wang Leilei did not make a sound, even if the teacher expressed regret, but still respected her decision.
Why lie?
Because Wang Leilei felt that this was a shameful thing, she was afraid of self-esteem and could not withstand the strange eyes of others.
Walking on the road, Wang Leilei finally couldn't hold back, and he sat on the side of the road and cried.
Not only did she hate herself for failing to live up to her teacher's expectations, but she also knew in her heart that this decision she made meant that she would never have anything to do with the stage again.
Leaving the stage, Wang Leilei's life has since been black and white, as if she has lost everything.
But that was the reality, and she had to accept it.
"When God closes one door for you, he opens another window for you"
The appearance of a man not only added new colors to her life, but also completely changed Wang Leilei's fate.
At a party, Wang Leilei bumped into a person named Ai Shuyi because she couldn't see clearly.
After learning about her eye disease, he wanted to show her the world.
When she gave up her dream because of an eye disease, she wanted to help her get back on stage.
When he learned of the strong opposition from his family, he insisted on marrying her.
Under the tug of love, Wang Leilei climbed out of the mire.
And no longer afraid of the dark stage, relying only on a little light, re-practicing, and participating in some small competitions.
Every time they played, both took it seriously.
Before going on stage, her husband made up for her, chose clothes, and took photos, causing Wang Leilei to slowly forget that she was a model and suffered from eye diseases, so Wang Leilei happily participated in every game accompanied by Ai Shuyi.
In 2004, the two entered the palace of marriage under the opposition of their parents and became dependent on each other.
It is said that love without the blessing of parents is not happy, but the two have broken this conclusion, the two are very happy, ai Shuyi has to take more care of and love Wang Leilei.
After a long time, the two also had plans to have children, because of their special health, the two said to go to the doctor for examination first.
The doctor's notice made Wang Leilei unacceptable: she was determined not to have a child, otherwise her vision would decline at an accelerated rate.
Wang Leilei did not want her husband to have no children of her own in this life, and she decided to have children.
Ai Shuyi did not want Wang Leilei to give up his eyes for the sake of the child, and he did not agree to have a child.
In this way, there was a dispute between the two, and it was also the first quarrel after marriage.
The two men were deadlocked, and they could not reach an agreement.
At this time, the resourceful Wang Leilei talked with her husband and expressed her demands.
She said: She does not want to lose her right to be a mother, nor does she want Ai Shuyi to lose her right to be a father.
In fact, Wang Leilei just didn't want Ai Shuyi to be around her all her life and wanted to have a child with him.
Listening to his wife's words, Ai Shuyi reluctantly agreed to his wife.
Soon the two gave birth to a big treasure, and the life of the three-person family became happier, at this time Wang Leilei caressed the child with her hand, knowing that he was growing up, but at this time she had entered the doctor's words: she was completely blind.
For the sake of the child, Wang Leilei completely lost the little hope that her husband had picked up for her.
She fell into despair again.
But the family did not want her to completely give up her career from now on, her husband began to enlighten him, her mother-in-law took care of her, everyone knew how to take care of her emotions, Wang Leilei gradually opened her heart knot and prepared to go out again.
The model is an actor, the performance is naturally the same, can not return to the model stage Wang Leilei began to study hard, in order to continue the dream, she began her own performance journey.
Wang Leilei began to study various books in the department of acting, accumulating her own performance foundation.
In 2017, she was admitted to the Acting Department of Beijing Film Academy with excellent results, officially becoming the first blind student in the school.
In order to be on the same line as her and take care of him conveniently, her husband was also admitted to the choreography and directing department of the school. In this way, the two worked hand in hand to a better life.
Admitted to film school, she wanted to pick up her old profession again through her own efforts: modeling.
Now that her eyes are completely invisible, how can she return to the stage?
Wang Leilei practiced weekdays, familiar with the direction of the stage, walking, and identifying the stage position through her ears.
During the competition, she can stand steady on the stage with her ears alone, which makes people impressed.
The result of the competition was even more promising, and won the championship of this competition.
As a champion, she is more confident.
Then he participated in the "Mrs. Universe" competition, this time with her husband, the two supported each other, confidently walked on the stage, and finally won the championship, Wang Leilei won the title of "Mrs. Universe".
Eye diseases no longer hinder her from living happily and chasing her dreams.
Wang Leilei later gathered children with congenital disorders like herself.
As marginalized people, they are lonely.
In this big world, they have almost no joys and sorrows, and they are silent in their own world every day.
Wang Leilei, who has now returned to normal, when she first saw these children, she seemed to see herself who was blind at the beginning, and she knew that if it were not for the help of her family and husband, she would not have had her current self.
There was a strong voice in her heart that demanded that she must help them as her family did when she helped her, so that they could also feel another kind of beauty in life.
During this period, he not only tutors the children, but also takes them to do various social practice activities, and asks them to take model steps outside the first time.
With the help of Wang Leilei, the children went from darkness to light, bathed in fresh sunlight.
In 2019, she won the title of "Liaoning Model of Self-Improvement for the Disabled"
In 2020, she took her children to the stage of the Shenyang fashion catwalk.
The children on the stage are optimistic and cheerful, lively and cute.
It was these children she had made.
Today, Wang Leilei is becoming more and more excellent, not only becoming the director of the International Blind Day gala, but also participating in various large-scale programs.
And she, who let herself go blind quickly for the sake of her children, now has two children, and a family of four lives happily and happily.
In this life, some people regard suffering as a burden, but Wang Leilei regards suffering as a stepping stone, relying on it to move forward faster.
In the face of ordinary people, she did not put her eyes on the city stains and defects, but used her strength to struggle forward in suffering.
She participated in the show, and some people may say, isn't this selling her own suffering? I would like to answer: Is it not okay to actively seek light through your own efforts? Do you still have to hold on to your own suffering and complain about yourself for a lifetime?
Some people may think that she is lucky to have a good husband!
But where does the luck come from without trying? Effort and luck often go hand in hand!
