Past years of suffering
"Some people are born in Rome", but Yuan Lidong was not only born in Rome, but also in an extremely ordinary rural family in Liaoning Province, and faced physical disabilities as soon as he was born.
For parents who learned for the first time that their son had no limbs, it was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue, and it also made matters worse for this family, which was not wealthy in the first place.
At first, the parents hesitated, thinking about whether to give up the child, so they wanted to resign themselves to fate and threw the newborn Yuan Lidong in an empty room, and unexpectedly, three days later, the little Yuan Lidong survived unexpectedly.
So, Yuan Lidong's parents made up their minds to raise Yuan Lidong, who had worked hard to give birth.
In the blink of an eye, Yuan Lidong, like other children, reached the age when he should go to school.
His parents sent him to a school near his home, but Yuan Lidong, who was born with a congenital disability, was ostracized by his peers and treated as an outlier, and no one wanted to be friends with him.
In desperation, Yuan Lidong's parents took him home, you know, he was only in the third grade of primary school at that time.
Yuan Lidong did not give up on himself because of the strange eyes of others, but constantly practiced Xi ability to live independently at home, took care of his own daily life, reduced the burden of his parents, learned to dress himself, and even wrote with a pen, and learned to sing in order to pass the leisure time.
Such peaceful days lasted until Yuan Lidong was fourteen years old, and his mother died unexpectedly that year, adding a burden to Yuan Lidong's family, which was not wealthy.
In order to make ends meet, Yuan Lidong, who was only 14 years old, had to follow his father to the street to beg, and he also carried a small speaker with him, and with the sound of music, Yuan Lidong would show the songs he had learned to passers-by to make a living.
Later, the father and son wandered to Shanxi, not only by begging to meet the food and clothing of the father and son, but also luckily met their future wife Xiaorong.
It turned out that when Yuan Lidong was singing on the street, he happened to be heard by Xiao Rong passing by, and he was deeply attracted by his singing voice when they met for the first time.
As long as he has time to listen to him sing, the two gradually become familiar with each other and become each other's dependence in a foreign land, and finally Yuan Lidong mustered up the courage to face up to his physical defects and chose to show his heart to this kind-hearted girl.
In the end, the two formed a happy family, although Xiaorong's parents did not agree to this marriage at first, it still did not stop the pure love of the two, and then gave birth to a healthy baby.
Thanks to the support and encouragement of his wife and son, Yuan Lidong chose to break through and strive to create better living conditions for his family, which led to his current life.
Therefore, Yuan Lidong's life experience was not lucky, on the contrary, it was very bumpy, but he did not choose to give up, but was optimistic and positive, facing the challenges given by life.
