Xin'an Evening News Anhui Network Dawan News At more than 9 p.m. on August 23, when the reporters of Xin'an Evening News, Anhui Net, and Dawan News contacted Wang Qian, she had not yet left work. In the past two months, there have been many work tasks, and Wang Qian often has to be busy until about 10 o'clock in the evening before returning home from work. After returning home from work, Wang Qian was busy bathing and washing clothes for her mother and brother, and then holding her brother to coax him to sleep, waiting until they were all busy, and she could rest at about one o'clock in the morning.
Wang Qian, born in 1996, is a native of Lu'an, Anhui Province. Since her brother grew up with cerebral palsy, her mother fell ill, and her father was unable to work because of lumbar spine surgery in 2015, and since then, she has become the pillar of the family. Wang Qian said that she is now so busy that she can only sleep three or four hours a day, but her family is content to be safe and secure around, "I want to make myself better and make my life better through my own efforts." ”
Wang Qian is taking care of her brother.
Her mother and brother are sick, and the post-95 girls take care of their families from an early age
Wang Qian's childhood is different from that of her peers. Because her mother is sick and needs to be taken care of by others, and her brother also suffers from cerebral palsy, taking care of her mother and brother, changing her brother's diapers, washing vegetables and cooking have become the memories of Wang Qian's childhood.
Wang Qian recalled to reporters that when she was a child, her father took her brother to the hospital for examination, and the doctor said that her brother had cerebral palsy. "At that time, I didn't know what cerebral palsy was, only that my brother was sick and different from others." Wang Qian said that when she was a child, her father was not at home, so she learned to hold her brother like a father, wash vegetables and cook, and did not have time to play with other children. "The most touching thing is the New Year's Day, when I was young and watched other people's children go out to visit the New Year, but I could only look at my brother and mother at home, and I couldn't go anywhere, and I was particularly envious of others."
When Wang Qian was young, her father was the only source of income for the family. In order to earn money, her father cut bamboo from the mountain and then carried it down the mountain to exchange for money. "I remember once when my father was carrying a bamboo, his arm was injured and swollen." Wang Qian said that every time her father went up the mountain since then, she was particularly worried, and when she was guarding her mother and brother at home, she stood at the door and looked out, thinking that her father would come back quickly.

"She didn't have any new clothes, and she never asked me for them because she knew I wasn't making any money." Wang Qian's father, Wang Yonghai, told reporters that Wang Qian has been sensible since she was a child, and when he went up the mountain to cut moso bamboo, Wang Qian took her brother at home and cooked the rice well. In junior high school and high school, every weekend Wang Qian would go home to help her father carry moso bamboo. "If I don't have any other work, I will only chop up the bamboo, so I told Wang Qian that I must read, and if I don't read, I can't walk out of our big mountain." Wang Yonghai said that even if he tried everything he could, he would let Wang Qian read the book.
In college, I worked hard and worried about my family calling home every day
In 2012, Wang Qian walked out of the mountains to attend Hefei University. Although she is in Hefei, her heart is always worried about her family, worried about what to do if there is no rice and no vegetables at home. Wang Qian worked as a promoter in the supermarket, and when she saw what kind of rice was discounted, she would buy it and then put it in her suitcase, and when she had time to go home, the most she brought was rice.
A trip home from Hefei is not easy. Wang Qian's family lives in the mountains of Longmen Chong Village, Xihekou Township, Yu'an District, Lu'an City, and every time she returns home, she has to transfer several means of transportation. Buses, trains, buses, vans, Wang Qian said to take the van to the foot of the mountain, there is still a distance from the mountain. Back at home, Wang Qian helped her father with various household chores. Every time before going to school from home, she would go to find firewood early in the morning, saw it into sections, split it, put it away, and then leave home to school when everything was busy. "If I don't settle things in the house, I won't be at ease when I go to school."
The daughter understands things, and the father sees it in his eyes and remembers it in his heart. Wang Qian said that every time she went home to school, her father shoved the 300 yuan that she used to save money and money into her hands, "I earn money outside easier than him, although he said that he could go to the town on credit, in case people didn't give credit, so when I left, I secretly stuffed the money into the drawer and told him when I got to the school." ”
Wang Qian's work-study job is to wash dishes in the canteen. The hourly wage of five yuan an hour and free meals made Wang Qian feel very satisfied. In college, Wang Qian rarely bought new clothes, and sometimes she would occasionally buy clothes that were discounted in the supermarket. Wang Qian said that in college, she can save four or five hundred yuan for her family every month.
At school, Wang Qian, who was not at home, had to call home every day and ask what they were doing and how the situation was. Wang Qian said that because the family uses a landline telephone, sometimes the father is not at home, no one answers, she will call every few minutes until someone answers.
His father fell ill and underwent surgery, and social benevolent people were eager to help
In 2015, Wang Qian experienced the most difficult moments. That year, her long-working father needed to be hospitalized for surgery because of lumbar spine problems, and the doctor told her that the operation cost at least 20,000 yuan.
Hearing this number, Wang Qian's whole heart had no score, and there was no way but to borrow everywhere, and finally raised twenty thousand yuan. Although the money was raised, Wang Qian encountered a problem again. If you take care of your dad in the hospital, your mom and brother have no one to take care of you at home, and if you go home and take care of your mom and brother, what does dad do? Looking at Wang Qian's dilemma, her father told her, "Forget it, it's not cured." When she said this, Wang Qian saw her father shed tears, and she felt particularly guilty, "I don't know how to work hard to support this family, in front of me, except for the mountains or mountains, I can't see a little hope." ”
Fortunately, when she didn't know what to do, Wang Qian told the teacher who cared about her during college. The teacher said to her, "Don't be afraid, little girl, I really can't help you take care of your father." Hearing the teacher's words, Wang Qian felt that she suddenly saw hope. Later, with the help of her teacher, Wang Qian's father underwent surgery in a hospital in Hefei. During the hospitalization, Wang Qian's uncle and aunt also came to help take care of it for a few days. After eight days in the hospital, Wang Qian's father returned to the hospital in his hometown to recuperate.
Wang Qian said that during that time, at the most difficult moment when she felt, she received a text message on her mobile phone, which made her very moved. "I remember very clearly, it was still raining heavily that day, and an uncle sent a message saying, 'Don't be afraid little girl, you still have us.'" Wang Qian said that this text message made her feel a strong spiritual force behind her for the first time from childhood to adulthood, just like life had to rely on. That year, the situation of Wang Qian's family also attracted attention, and many social benevolent people donated more than 100,000 yuan to her family, which not only allowed her to repay the money borrowed by her father for surgery, but also took her brother to the big hospital to see a doctor. Wang Qian told reporters that many caring people rushed to the house, "There was an aunt who held my hand, and I felt as warm as my mother's hand at that time." Wang Qian said that she would like to wait for the opportunity to say thank you to all the people who have helped her.
Her brother's condition worsened, and the girl took the whole family to her side to take care of her
After graduating from university in 2017, Wang Qian interned at a company in Lu'an. One day in December of that year, her father suddenly called and said, "Come back and see, your brother is different from before, he has been lying in bed for days without eating or drinking, lying in bed and not moving." So Wang Qian took a leave of absence and rushed home.
Early the next morning, Wang Qian took the earliest bus on her brother's back to the hospital in Lu'an City. "The doctors shook their heads and said the situation was too complicated for them to treat and let them go to other hospitals." Wang Qian said that she later found a car everywhere to take her brother to Hefei and went to the hospital where she saw her brother in 2015, but the doctor said there was no way.
There was really no way, Wang Qian called a well-wisher who had helped her in 2015. With the help of this well-wisher, Wang Qian sent her brother to a hospital, but the doctor told her that she could only take one step at a time. In the hospital ward, my brother was lying on the bed, so she moved a stool to sit on the edge of the bed, and when she was tired, she slept on the bed. After Wang Qian stayed in the hospital for more than half a month, her brother's consciousness began to gradually recover. "Since then I've thought, I'm going to have to take him with me no matter what." After that, Wang Qian took the family to live together.
At six o'clock in the morning, Wang Qian got up to change her brother's clothes, took advantage of the fact that he was still confused, gave him milk to drink, and then let him continue to sleep, and then rode an electric car to work; rushed home from the company at twelve o'clock at noon to cook, and rushed to the company before 1:30 p.m.; at six o'clock in the afternoon, she rushed home to make some food for her family and then returned to the company, sometimes busy until 10 o'clock at night, which is Wang Qian's life now. "Every day when I come home and see my brother smiling at me, all the pain and tiredness are worth it." Wang Qian said that from childhood to adulthood, my brother never called out to his sister, "Before I dreamed, I dreamed that my brother called my sister, as long as I saw him make a little progress, I would be happy for a long time." ”
While taking good care of her parents and brother, she also devotes herself to the public good
Last year, Wang Qian installed surveillance at home, and she can also see the situation at home when she goes to work. "Sometimes when my brother is sick, he will use his hands to pull my hair and scratch my face, and the scars on my face are scratched." Even so, Wang Qian patiently taught her brother to wear shoes and bathe him every day. Since her brother could not chew, Wang Qian made some soft food, clamped it with chopsticks, blew it and sent it to her brother's mouth. "Every night I hugged him like a child and coaxed him to sleep, and now I can't hold him, and I realize that he is 21 years old."
Wang Qian is volunteering.
After the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic in 2020, Wang Qian took the initiative to volunteer in the community, went door to door to register information, and helped take the temperature at the door, "No matter how tired I am, I have to insist, I think I can stick to it for a while, others can rest a little longer." ”
On the afternoon of August 24, reporters from Xin'an Evening News, Anhui Net, and Dawan News contacted the Party and Group Service Center in Longmen Chong Village, Xihekou Township, Yu'an District, Lu'an City, by telephone, and a staff member introduced to reporters that Wang Qian's family has now run the highest level of low-income insurance, and Wang Qian's mother and brother can each receive subsidies for the disabled. "The village will visit Wang Qian's house regularly to see if there are any difficulties in her family and to help them."
"My family and I have been able to get to this point without the help of the government and society." Wang Qian said that her greatest wish is to take good care of her parents and brother at the same time, she can also devote herself to public welfare, and pass on the warmth brought to her by many caring people before to more people in need.
