Qian Hongyan, an active athlete and Disabled Persons' Federation worker
Today's Qian Hongyan is in the prime of life, and her shoulder-length short hair exudes the breath of sunshine. She is not only an active swimmer on the field, but also a member of a disabled persons' association in her hometown.
While serving the disabled community, she is still fighting for her sports dreams.
Looking back at Qian Hongyan's life trajectory, it is destined not to be a smooth road, but to endure hardships and countless hardships. The tragic car accident when she was young almost took away the hope of her young life.
When she first healed from her wounds, she always sat alone in a dark corner, wary of anyone. The meticulous care of her grandfather and the selfless support of her family warmed her cold heart like a warm sun, allowing her to regain the courage to live and finally realize her dream of becoming an excellent athlete.
The fruitful results in the arena are inseparable from her tenacious will to fight, but more often than not, it is the encouragement and encouragement of her family and friends. Even when she lost her beloved ones, Qian Hongyan once fell into despair, and her eyes were dull.
But she didn't give up after all, and soon came out of the haze, and with the support of her family, she once again shined in the arena.
The tragic experience of amputation in a car accident at the age of 4
Back to that day more than 20 years ago, 4-year-old Qian Hongyan was playing carefree with a few friends, happily preparing to go home. Just as they were about to cross the street, a sudden tragedy struck.
That scene seemed to be reproduced right in front of my eyes. Qian Hongyan accidentally slipped and fell in the middle of the road, and her small leather shoes were accidentally kicked off. In order to find her beloved shoes, Qian Hongyan decided to turn back and look for them.
Seeing this, her friends hurriedly shouted loudly and waved anxiously for her to leave quickly, but Qian Hongyan, who was still young, was unaware of the danger.
At this moment, a speeding truck suddenly came, and because the intersection was located at a curve, the driver did not notice Qian Hongyan who fell in the middle of the road. The heavy wheels ruthlessly crushed her legs, the blood and flesh were red, and the painful Qian Hongyan was in great pain, and her consciousness gradually blurred.
Several partners who witnessed all this were completely stunned by the cruel scene in front of them, and cried in horror, and then rushed to Qian Hongyan's home in a panic to seek rescue.
After learning the bad news, his legs were weak and almost fainted on the spot, and after he ran to tell each other, he rushed to the scene like a lightning strike, and saw the tragic condition of his beloved daughter covered in bruises, and tears could not help but flow down.
He held his daughter tightly in his arms and raced against time to get her to the hospital.
Outside the emergency room, the anxious father kept pacing, praying that the operation would go well. However, not long after the operation began, the doctor came to confirm the difficult choice of whether to "save his life" or "save his leg".
Faced with such a cruel choice, the devastated father did not hesitate to make a painful decision to choose his daughter's life as vital as possible.
The teenager aspires to become a swimmer
When she was a teenager, Qian Hongyan once lost hope and courage in life. She sat alone in a dark corner, wary of anyone, as if she were cut off from the outside world.
Fortunately, her grandfather took care of her with patience and love. Whenever he saw his granddaughter's eyes dark, his grandfather felt sad and desperate to find a way for her to regain his happiness.
Finally, one day, my grandfather picked up a worn-out basketball in the village. He then halved the basketball to fit his granddaughter and made two small wooden frames for her to practice standing and walking.
Since then, Qian Hongyan has had a "unique basketball torso". Gradually, she began to appreciate the scenery outside the window again, and her cheerful and lively demeanor slowly recovered.
With the encouragement of her family and the company of her friends, Qian Hongyan regained her love for life and dreamed of becoming a swimmer. She expressed this wish to her parents, and although the parents were worried, they finally chose to give their full support to their daughter's determined eyes.
So, Qian Hongyan joined a specialized swimming training camp. At first, neither her companions nor her coach could believe what she could do in the water when they saw her broken legs, but Qian Hongyan was not crushed by these difficulties.
In the arduous training, she gradually showed extraordinary talent and tenacity, and this perseverance finally won the trust of others, attracting the attention of the famous coach Zhang Honghuo.
Repeatedly won the field and created miracles
Under the strict guidance of Coach Zhang Honghuo, Qian Hongyan's swimming skills have become more and more sophisticated. The superior conditions and scientific system of the training camp further unleashed her unlimited potential.
In the water, Qian Hongyan is like a free fish, fearless, smart and chic. This love and dedication to swimming has made her work harder in her training and gradually become the best in the team.
Just when everyone was looking forward to it, Qian Hongyan won 3 gold medals in one fell swoop at the provincial Paralympics. As an athlete with a disability, it is undoubtedly an astonishing and admirable achievement to be able to dominate the field of normal people! The audience cheered and admired the extraordinary willpower of this "straight woman of steel".
The following year, Qian Hongyan won the championship of the national Paralympic Games. When she stood on the podium, wearing a red tracksuit, her tall figure shone brightly.
She had a confident smile on her face and her eyes full of hope for the future. At this moment, she seems to be the brightest star in the audience, and all her hard work has been rewarded the most at this moment.
Achievements will go down in history and will never be erased.
The 2012 London Paralympic Games was the most brilliant stop of Qian Hongyan's career. In this international competition, she once again showed her outstanding swimming skills and won one valuable medal after another.
The audience cheered, and the atmosphere reached its climax. The commentators all praised the extraordinary willpower of this "straight woman of steel" and predicted that she would become the pride of the Chinese Paralympic athletes.
Along the way, Qian Hongyan has paid unimaginable hard training before finally unleashing her potential and achieving one enviable miracle after another on the field.
She interpreted the life motto of "never give up and move forward bravely" with practical actions, and became the most dazzling star in the minds of countless people.
After a slump, he regained his fighting spirit
However, the road to success has not been smooth. After creating one miracle after another, Qian Hongyan was also physically and mentally exhausted for a while and fell into a low point in her life.
In 2011, her closest friend, her grandfather, passed away, a bad news that dealt a heavy blow to Qian Hongyan. Every time she remembered her grandfather's love and care for her, she couldn't help herself and was in great pain.
At one point, she had been immersed in grief all day, losing interest in anything, her eyes were dull, and even her daily training had been wasted.
Seeing that Qian Hongyan was in a state of collapse and fell into a deep haze and couldn't extricate herself, Coach Zhang Honghuo had no choice but to put her aside for the time being, keeping her away from the scorching atmosphere of the arena.
Fortunately, after a period of adjustment, Qian Hongyan gradually walked out of the shadow of her grandfather's death. With the support and encouragement of her family, she regained her love and fighting spirit for sports.
Soon after, she won another victory at the Tianjin Paralympics, winning a second and a third place. Although the results are not outstanding, this is a great achievement and affirmation for the revitalized Qian Hongyan.
