In November 2017, Wu Xiaoyan's life experienced a new turning point. This year, she was 23 years old, and it has been 6 years since that fate-changing operation.
Fate is like a mysterious photographer who captured a touching love story for Wu Xiaoyan. It all stemmed from the earnest introduction of the villagers, who were familiar with Wu Xiaoyan and a man named Ye Linmiao.
At that time, Ye Linmiao was 11 years older than Wu Xiaoyan.
Ye Linmiao has suffered from polio since she was a child, and she has been plagued by leg disability for the rest of her life. However, his disability did not stop him from finding true love. At first, he was just deeply attracted by Wu Xiaoyan's kind, innocent, and optimistic personality.
After going through many hardships in life, she showed a tenacious character beyond ordinary people, which is the quality that Ye Linmiao appreciates and admires.
Unconsciously, simple appreciation gradually sublimated into a fiery love in Ye Linmiao's heart. On the other hand, he has also experienced the baptism of suffering in his life.
Perhaps because of the same experience, he has a deep empathy for Wu Xiaoyan's fate, and a strong sense of sympathy naturally rises in his heart.
Wu Xiaoyan also seems to be attracted to some of Ye Linmiao's qualities. After going through so many devastation of fate, she finally saw in the man in front of her someone who was worth cherishing and relying on with all her heart.
So, the pair of confidants who shared a common experience met each other and soon fell in love. They are heart-to-heart, and each other has become the most solid spiritual sustenance and the meaning of life.
Ye Linmiao brought comfort to Wu Xiaoyan's painful past, and Wu Xiaoyan also infected Ye Linmiao with her tenacity and courage.
For Ye Linmiao, Wu Xiaoyan is like a warm sunshine given by fate, bringing a faint dawn to his gloomy heart. With her by her side, life will no longer seem so dark and helpless.
The encounter between the two is destined to become the most precious and memorable gift of their lives. From acquaintance, acquaintance to love, it is like a warm and romantic dream, illuminating their way forward.
Back in 1997, Wu Xiaoyan had just celebrated her 9th birthday. That age when she was supposed to be carefree opened the door to a miserable life for her.
A sudden illness completely changed the trajectory of Wu Xiaoyan's fate. Her vision began to blur, and after only a year, she lost her sight completely.
This bad news undoubtedly brought a huge blow and pain to her at a young age.
The Wu family was helpless because of their poor family background, and they sought medical advice everywhere, but they could not afford the high cost of surgery. Eventually, all hope and sorrow can only be brought home, left to wander helplessly in this small mountain village.
Soon, Wu Xiaoyan's face began to swell, and gradually turned into a terrifying "horse face" shape, and she was initially diagnosed with optic neuroma. A young girl who was originally full of vitality was ravaged beyond recognition by the disease in just a few years.
Once upon a time, this small village was perennially filled with sunshine and laughter, and the warmth of neighborhoods was everywhere. And now, everything is shrouded in a haze of sadness and despair.
Wu Xiaoyan, who was carefree in the past, tasted the cruel torture of fate when she was a child.
Loneliness, low self-esteem, pain, all these negative emotions shrouded Xiaoyan's heart like a spell. She began to deliberately avoid the eyes of the outside world, using a black hijab to cover her increasingly hideous "horse face".
Home had become her only haven, but even here she could not contain her despair.
Youth should be the season of blooming flowers, but Wu Xiaoyan could only hide her beautiful face under the hijab and sleep deeply in the room alone with self-loathing.
Sometimes, the temptation of death even lingered in her heart, because no one could imagine having to endure such a fate alone.
Heartbreakingly, the pressure of the lump eventually caused Wu Xiaoyan to completely lose her vision. The nose gradually disappeared, and the mouth collapsed to the neck. The beautiful face was ravaged beyond recognition by the disease, and it was difficult for the originally innocent and lovely girl to find a shadow in Wu Xiaoyan.
The heavy blows of life almost completely crushed Wu Xiaoyan's confidence and hope. Her heart was like a wounded beast, wandering helplessly in despair. Body and soul are suffering like never before, and a bright future is getting farther and farther away from her.
At the same time that Wu Xiaoyan was in a desperate situation, the warmth of the world also hit like a spring breeze. Those kind people stretched out their strong hands and ignited the light of hope for her life with sincere love and action.
In 2010, Wu Xiaoyan's ill-fated story was widely reported by the media, which aroused widespread concern in the entire society. The generous donations flew like snowflakes, accumulating 80,000 yuan in a short period of time.
Although these donations are far from meeting the needs of treatment, they are full of selfless love and heart-warming power.
The donations from all over the world seemed to gather into a trickle, and finally grew into a rescue force, and finally collected enough money for Wu Xiaoyan's family to pay for the high cost of surgery.
The warm hand of society stretched out in time in times of crisis, saving the hope of life for this small family.
Wu Xiaoyan's heart must be full of infinite gratitude. In this modern society with advanced science, money is often equated with the source of life force. Without the support of so many caring people, she might have lost the chance to regain her bright life forever.
It is the warmth of social forces that lights up the dawn of life for Wu Xiaoyan and gives her the courage and determination to show her strong side.
This warm current seems to give Xiaoyan a new life force. After years of darkness and despair, she finally saw hope for a return to the sun. With this money, she can realize her dream of getting rid of the disease and rebuilding a new life.
From then on, she will have the opportunity to get rid of the "horse face" appearance that has plagued her for many years and live a normal life.
This strong love of the whole society not only warmed Wu Xiaoyan's family, but also warmed everyone in the entire small village. Seeing the hope of the girl regain her life, the villagers were inspired and full of infinite longing for a better future.
On the eve of the operation, Wu Xiaoyan's heart must have been filled with infinite fear and inferiority. As a young girl, it was a heavy test for her to have to face such a difficult life and death decision alone.
After losing her eyes, Wu Xiaoyan's face became more and more hideous and deformed, her nose gradually disappeared, and her mouth collapsed to her neck. How desperate must she have been when her appearance finally turned into a terrible "horse face"? The blows of life almost completely shattered her hope and self-confidence.
When you are alone, do you often fall into a whirlpool of painful memories and self-loathing and cannot extricate yourself? In the face of this tattered face, did Wu Xiaoyan ever doubt the meaning of survival, and even had the idea of giving up completely? After all, it is difficult for anyone to imagine having to bear such a nightmarish fate alone.
Fortunately, the loving hand of society has shown her a path to regain the light. Although the operation was arduous, it eventually helped Wu Xiaoyan successfully get rid of the torture of the disease and reshape her new face.
When the lump was removed and the originally lost facial features were repaired and returned to place one by one, Wu Xiaoyan seemed to be reborn, and her face radiated unprecedented vitality and brilliance.
She must have been overjoyed that her beautiful face, which had been distorted by illness, had finally returned to its original state.
But fate doesn't seem to have let her go completely. At this critical moment in her life, Wu Xiaoyan's mother suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and was paralyzed in bed due to long-term high-intensity work and excessive worries about her daughter's health.
This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the whole family.
In the face of full of troubles, Wu Xiaoyan showed tenacity and calmness beyond her peers. Although she was extremely saddened by the sad news of her mother's death, she did not break down, but faced it all with a strong will.
She seems to have realized the impermanence of life and the great sacrifices made by her family, and is determined to cherish the present more and face the future bravely.
With the encouragement of her doctor, Wu Xiaoyan rekindled her hope and confidence in life. This surgery is not only a reshaping of the appearance, but also a rebirth of the heart. She finally mustered up the courage to take off the black hijab that had been hidden for 13 years, opening a new page in her life.
From then on, Wu Xiaoyan will face the world with a new attitude. Although she can't see the light with her eyes, she will use her other senses to experience this colorful and beautiful world; Although her face is no longer what it used to be, she will make her life bloom with a different kind of brilliance with her inner temperament.
More importantly, Wu Xiaoyan will continue to move forward on the road of life with a fearless and tenacious heart. She finally regained the courage and determination to survive, and cherished and proud of it.
In her, we see the image of a fighter who lives endlessly and never stops.
