Many people must still remember that eighteen years ago, there was a news that became popular all over China.
The boy in the news has been taking care of his mother who is suffering from uremia for many years, and after going to college, the boy rented a house next to the university and went to school with his mother on his back in order to take care of his mother.
This is a piece of news that has touched countless people, so even though 18 years have passed now, many people still remember this boy.
He is Liu Ting.
But what many people don't know is, what happened to the boy?
Many people may not believe it when they say it, Liu Ting chose to have sex reassignment surgery at the age of twenty-nine, and since then, Liu Ting has become "Liu Ting".
What is happening to Liu Ting now? Why did she choose to be transgender? Today, let's take a look at the story of Liu Ting and Liu Ting.
A boy with gender cognitive impairment
Have you ever heard of "Gender Dementia Disorder"?
In fact, it is literal, referring to a group of people who have the same fetishes as the opposite sex, such as men who like women's clothes, and girls who always dress themselves as boys.
At the end of the day, this group has a misconception of their own gender and considers themselves to be another gender.
Some people think that this is a Xi that has been cultivated for a long time, but it is not, it is actually a mental illness that can be alleviated or even cured through systematic treatment.
However, if it is not treated in time, it will become more and more serious, and the most serious may choose to have sex reassignment surgery and completely change your sexual gender.
Liu Ting is like this, he has been a different boy since he was a child.
Liu Ting and her mother discovered this from a very young age, and Liu Ting's mother often joked with relatives and friends, saying: "I'm afraid I'm not a girl in my life." ”
Because Liu Ting has only played with girls since he was a child, jumping rubber bands together, playing house together, and painting together.
And in the boys' games, Liu Ting can't be seen at all.
These are not the most serious, Liu Ting's mother soon found out that her son began to secretly wear girls' clothes, liked high heels very much, and secretly smeared his lipstick.
At that time, Liu Ting's father had not abandoned the mother and son, so as soon as he saw his son like this, he immediately beat and scolded his son.
Liu Ting's father named his son "Ting", hoping that his son could grow into a man like thunder, but he didn't expect that all his expectations seemed to be disappointed.
However, Liu Ting's father firmly believes that his son is still young, as long as he corrects it with his heart and strict requirements, he will definitely be able to change it soon.
Under the suppression of his father, Liu Ting became more and more entangled.
In Liu Ting's heart, he always felt that he should be a girl, but he knew that his body was a boy.
Such a tangled mood made Liu Ting's childhood and youth very difficult, and he was ridiculed, despised and excluded by the people around him.
Not only that, Liu Ting also has to pay attention to not being noticed by his father again and again.
Just when Liu Ting thought that he would live like this all his life, and he would always be suppressed by his father and the environment.
Something happened to the Liu family suddenly.
It was when Liu Ting was thirteen years old, and in 1999, Liu Ting's mother went to the hospital for a physical examination because she had been unwell for a long time.
But who knew that the doctor actually told Liu Ting's mother that she was suffering from uremia.
There is no way to completely cure this disease even now, let alone more than 20 years ago.
The doctor told Liu Ting's family seriously: If you want to live, you must have a kidney transplant.
At that time, in the face of such a disease, many families chose to give up treatment, and Liu Ting's father was the same.
Because after he learned about it, he knew that uremia was like a bottomless pit, and if it was treated, no amount of money would be enough to spend, let alone a poor family like the Liu family.
Liu Ting's father is a laid-off worker, and he doesn't even have a serious job, so where does he get the money to treat his wife's illness?
When Liu Ting, who was only thirteen years old at the time, knew that his father was going to give up, he immediately cried and knelt down to beg his father, and he also asked relatives and friends everywhere to borrow money for his mother's treatment.
Seeing his son's determination, Liu Ting's father was also moved, and he finally decided to treat his wife.
After that, the Liu family sold the house and borrowed money everywhere to treat Liu Ting's mother.
But as Liu Ting's father said, this is a bottomless pit, and no matter how much money is spent on it, the patient's condition will not improve.
In the end, Liu Ting's father, who could no longer bear all this, chose to leave the family, not only abandoning his seriously ill wife, but also abandoning his son.
The family fell into complete darkness in an instant, how should Liu Ting and his mother live next? Why did Liu Ting start going to school behind his mother's back? Why did he decide to change sex again? Let's go on.
A boy carrying his mother to school
At that time, Liu Ting was still a child, and the "sky" on his head suddenly disappeared, so you can imagine how scared Liu Ting was.
Fortunately, Liu Ting's father abandoned them, but Liu Ting's grandmother would never abandon her daughter and grandson.
Although Liu Ting's grandmother took them in, her grandmother was very old, so even if she took them in, she would not be able to take care of her daughter herself.
Fortunately, Liu Ting was very sensible, and he began to take care of his mother while going to school.
At that time, Liu Ting got up very early every day, made breakfast for his mother, and settled his mother before going out to school.
After returning home, Liu Ting wiped his mother's body, asked his mother about the day, and was busy cooking.
It wasn't until he took care of his mother after eating, cleaned up the house, and his mother and grandmother went to sleep that Liu Ting had time to do his homework.
Even though life is so difficult, Liu Ting's academic Xi has never fallen, although his grades are not particularly good, they are still at the upper middle level.
In fact, since he was a child, Liu Ting has been closer to his mother, and after his father left, the mother and son, who depend on each other, have nothing to talk about.
So Liu Ting never hid his thoughts from his mother, and later Liu Ting fell in love with the boy in the same class, and told his closest mother about it.
Liu Ting looked forward to his mother's understanding, encouragement and support, but Liu Ting didn't expect that his mother who heard this sentence told him very harshly:
"You can't tell anyone about it, not even the boy, and if you do, they'll think you're a pervert. ”
Although the first confiding was hit by his mother, Liu Ting had no way to change it at this time.
At this time, Liu Ting became more and more feminine, but his peers at this time were no longer the same as when he was a child.
At this time, the boy and the girl were already clearly distinguished, Liu Ting wanted to stay with the girl, but the female classmates were very disgusted and disgusted with him, and they didn't take him to play with them at all.
And what about boys? Boys in this grade hate feminine boys the most, so they are even more reluctant to approach him.
In this way, Liu Ting was alone in school and did not have any friends.
Fortunately, Liu Ting doesn't have so much time to make friends, in addition to learning Xi, he also has to take care of his mother.
At this time, Liu Ting was still full of expectations for the future, he felt that as long as he was admitted to the university and went to a larger environment, everything would change, he would make friends he liked, and someone would be willing to accept him.
So Liu Ting began to study Xi harder, learning Xi one o'clock every day, and then getting up at five o'clock, still cooking for his mother before rushing to school.
Spring goes to autumn, time passes day by day, and finally, the moment that determines the fate of all students - the college entrance examination has arrived.
That year was 2005, Liu Ting achieved good results, exceeded the key score line a lot, and was successfully admitted to Zhejiang Forestry College.
can go to college, which means that Liu Ting is going to be separated from his mother, and when Liu Ting is entangled, Liu Ting's mother has an accident again.
The diagnosis given by the hospital this time was kidney failure, and the doctor told Liu Ting that if he still did not have a kidney transplant, Liu Ting's mother might only have two years to live.
The joy of being admitted to a key university was instantly washed away by this bad news, Liu Ting looked at his mother who was tormented by illness, and didn't know whether he should go to school or stay at home to take care of his mother.
Looking at the admission letter in his hand, Liu Ting fell into deep thought.
But Liu Ting's mother firmly told her son: You must go to college!
In the end, Liu Ting made up his mind: he wanted to take his mother to college with him, and even if there was no way to cure him, he could accompany his mother in the last time.
Liu Ting's college tuition fee is a student loan applied for, while continuing to work to relieve their financial pressure.
When school was about to start, Liu Ting rented a small room next to the school, with a rent of 200 yuan a month, which was the new home for Liu Ting and his mother.
But taking his mother to school means that Liu Ting has to bear more expenses, and Liu Ting can only work two more jobs.
In this way, the mother and son started a new life in Hangzhou, Liu Ting had to take care of his mother, attend classes, and work in the school cafeteria, and he was busy everywhere on campus.
When eating in the cafeteria, Liu Ting always leaves the meat for his mother, and he only eats some vegetarian dishes.
Because going to the hospital is too expensive and inconvenient, Liu Ting learned to measure his mother's blood pressure by himself, and also learned to use electrotherapy equipment.
At the beginning, Liu Ting left his mother in the rental house and went out to be busy by himself, but after Liu Ting's mother's condition deteriorated, Liu Ting was not worried that his mother was home alone.
So Liu Ting began to carry his mother to school and work, and Liu Ting would take his mother to the school playground to bask in the sun when the weather was good.
Soon, everyone in the school knew about Liu Ting going to school behind his mother's back.
After the school found out, they attached great importance to this matter, and they not only waived Liu Ting's tuition, but also arranged a job for Liu Ting as a school librarian.
Media reporters in Hangzhou also immediately began to find ways to help Liu Ting's mother and son, and caring people from all walks of life extended a helping hand to the mother and son.
Zhongshan Hospital, affiliated to Fudan University in Shanghai, even told Liu Ting's mother and son that their hospital was willing to give Liu Ting's mother a kidney transplant free of charge, and would also find a kidney source for her.
With everyone's help, Liu Ting's mother finally had a successful operation, and in 2006, everything changed for the better.
In the second year, Liu Ting was also rated as a national moral model, and Liu Ting also began to participate in frequent activities, so that his deeds of filial piety to his parents and good deeds were spread more widely and influenced by more people.
But after everything got better and he no longer had to worry about his mother's condition, Liu Ting also began to think about his future.
What will Liu Ting do next?
A radical shift in gender
After Liu Ting's mother got better, she found that her son was not getting better.
Liu Ting's mother has always encouraged her son, hoping that her son can change his mentality as soon as possible and get better, but until her son graduates from college, it is still like that.
In the end, Liu Ting told his mother that in his opinion, he was not a man, but should be a woman.
In desperation, Liu Ting's mother chose to seek help from a psychiatrist, and in December 2013, Liu Ting's mother came to the hospital with her son.
The psychiatrist told Liu Ting's mother that Liu Ting was not to blame, and that it was all because Liu Ting had gender cognitive disorder.
And Liu Ting's situation is already very serious, and there is no way to correct it.
After returning home, Liu Ting's mother thought about it for a long time, of course she wanted her son to correct it, but now it is impossible.
Instead of making his son suffer so much every day, it is better to let him fulfill his wish, at least he can be happy.
With the help of his mother and doctors, Liu Ting accepted his problems, he began to completely turn himself into a girl, and he began to wear skirts and makeup in a bright and bright manner.
Because Liu Ting is already delicate and quiet, he really looks like a girl when he dresses up.
After the change, Liu Ting's face began to smile, and he became more and more cheerful, but Liu Ting still wanted to change completely.
Liu Ting told his mother that he wanted to have sex reassignment surgery and become a girl completely.
At this point, what can Liu Ting's mother say, she has already seen through everything after experiencing life and death, and she understands that nothing is more important than the child being happy.
What difference does it make between a son and a daughter?
In April 2015, this spring, Liu Ting really became a girl, and he had sex reassignment surgery.
After Liu Ting's operation, the first thing he did was to change his ID card and household registration book, and since then he has changed from "Liu Ting" to "Liu Ting", and his gender has completely changed to female.
After completely becoming "Liu Ting", Liu Ting's life has also undergone tremendous changes.
For Liu Ting, the life as Liu Ting was colorless, and after becoming Liu Ting, her life became colorful.
Liu Ting even participated in international beauty contests, entered the domestic finals, and won the trophy.
Later, Liu Ting also wrote a book called "My Beauty", recording her life experience to encourage those who were in the same difficult situation as her in the past.
After the book was published, Liu Ting donated half of the royalties to children in poor mountainous areas.
Later, Liu Ting actively participated in public welfare activities, and also worked as an actor, inspiring all people with her deeds.
In any case, let's bless the brave Liu Ting!
