The violent attack of the Wenchuan earthquake on May 12, 2008 turned Liao Zhi, who was in his early twenties, upside down overnight.
As a dance teacher, Liao Zhi was born with a soft spot for dance, and she was obsessed with the wonderful experience of dancing and her infinite longing for the stage. In addition, Liao Zhi also has a life that is the envy of many of his peers: loving and considerate parents, a lovely daughter who is less than a year old, and a stable job and income.
However, the earthquake crushed her glamorous life, leaving her with great trauma both externally and internally.
During the earthquake, in order to protect his elderly mother-in-law and infant daughter, Liao Zhi could only protect them in a hurry. But unexpectedly, the steel bars directly penetrated her legs, and her mother-in-law and daughter were also crushed to death one after another.
The cosy cottage and life above the family of three crumbled in the deafening roar of the land. Although Liao Zhi almost lost her life, she survived in the end, but she had to face an even heavier blow - her legs and loved ones could never come back.
Just when Liao Zhi was in pain and in turmoil, her beloved husband also chose to leave this home. This walk is forever, leaving her alone to endure such a tragic situation.
The loss of her legs made her lose all that she was as a dancer, and the loss of her daughter was the greatest harm to her mother. These changes made Liao Zhi fall into a low period of his life after the earthquake.
Her confidence, courage and vitality are in danger of collapsing.
In the great changes brought about by the earthquake, Liao Zhi not only lost his legs, but also experienced physical and mental torture. However, in life, there is always hope. In order to regain his independence as soon as possible and not add too much burden to his aging parents, Liao Zhi chose to cheer up and began to work hard to adapt to the new life.
She practiced day and night Xi walked with prosthetic limbs, and occasionally fell due to unsteady standing on her feet. However, minor skin injuries and bruises and falls were insignificant to Liao Zhi, and she never gave up even though her legs were bloody.
Because she knew that she had to get up as soon as possible, otherwise she would have to be trapped in a wheelchair for the rest of her life except to rely on others. This is an unimaginable ending for her, who is full of fighting spirit and passion.
After training and perseverance day after day, Liao Zhi finally mastered the skills of using prosthetics. In July 2008, with the encouragement of all walks of life in Sichuan, she got a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
The organizing committee invited her to perform songs and dances for the scarred victims of Wenchuan to exert an inspiring effect. In this regard, Liao Zhi, a former professional dancer, naturally accepted it gladly.
Although the incongruity of the prosthetic leg often affected her performance, Liao Zhi did not get discouraged and flinch in the slightest. She reminded herself all the time that this is to dedicate her heart and soul to the Sichuan compatriots, and she must do her best.
In the end, on that day, Liao Zhi, who was reborn from his injuries, danced with ease. She uses dance to convey hope and infect everyone who witnesses the miracle. It also made her herself rekindle her enthusiasm and longing for the future in despair.
The stage gave Liao Zhi the opportunity to be reborn, and love gave her heart a new life. In 2011, after Liao Zhi participated in a number of dance variety shows, he met Charles, a Chinese scholar.
He is an outstanding prosthetic expert and has a passion for dance. The two hit it off, and Charles was not only deeply impressed by Liao Zhi's outstanding dance skills, but also fell in love with her tenacious and optimistic character.
Charles used his expertise and hands to tailor a number of colorful prostheses for Liao Zhi. They not only contain exquisite skills, but also the crystallization of this scholar's sincere love for Liao Zhi.
With him, Liao Zhi found a long-lost soulmate and received heart-touching support and encouragement from his other half.
The two eventually became married, and Liao Zhi slowly walked out of the pain of losing his daughter in Charles's sincere and strong feelings. In order to allow more disabled people like herself to face the sun again, she decided to start the "Morning Star Home" with her lover.
It is an institution that integrates rehabilitation training and customized prosthetics. The husband and wife combine their expertise to help each client regain their confidence and regain their possibilities.
Their acts of kindness also comforted Liao Zhi himself. She is well aware that she is not fighting alone. There are many others with similar fates, and she is in a position to help them now.
This sense of accomplishment and responsibility filled the emptiness left by her inner tragedy, and also enabled her to find meaning again in her life.
Not only that, but she also shared her extraordinary experiences and insights with the public through the Internet, and touched countless readers with a positive and optimistic attitude. Liao Zhi, who now has millions of fans, will still insist on updating and inspiring others.
Life is bright and bright, and she is using her own transformation to illuminate more people in suffering.
Liao Zhi's life story is a history of struggle from the trough to the peak.
The tragic earthquake that made her lose everything could have been the end of Liao Zhi's fate. But instead of giving in or backing down, she was reborn in the ruins and transformed like a phoenix nirvana.
First, he regrouped physically, put on prosthetic limbs and stood up again; Then I rebuilt my self-confidence and regained my passion and vision for life.
On the new route of life, Liao Zhi successfully achieved a double harvest of career and relationship. Through her own practice, she conveys hope and helps more people with disabilities to get out of the haze.
At the same time, she also found her true destiny in the long-distance love run and formed a happy family of four. Liao Zhi has gained two of the most precious things in life: self-realization and recognition by others.
Through the wind and rain, she knows better than anyone that the most dazzling fruit of the tree of life comes from inner strength. As she shares her stories and inspires others, she has a smile that is warmer than ever.
Behind that smile is the vicissitudes of life, but also the will to get up after countless falls.
Yes, Liao Zhi successfully achieved a counterattack. This is not only a personal victory for her, but also an infusion of motivation to live for all those who are in difficult circumstances. As long as you don't give up easily, fate will always have opportunities and hopes.
Her story is a perfect illustration of this indomitable spirit.
