One early morning in November 2017, the famous obstetrics and gynecology hospital in the capital Beijing received a very special and eye-catching woman - her legs could not move independently because of high paraplegia, and her uterus also became like a sleeping wasteland due to the lack of necessary exercise for a long time.
At this critical moment, everyone present pinched a cold sweat for the mother who was about to give birth, and their hearts were filled with deep worry and tension.
Her brow was furrowed, her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and her face was so pale that it was distressing, as if she was suffering from great pain. Her husband clasped her hands tightly and tried to comfort her lip that was clenched from time to time in this way.
Doctors gathered around her, paying full attention to every move on the delivery bed, checking the data on the monitoring equipment from time to time. The nurses were busy preparing various surgical instruments and holding their breath as they waited for the upcoming challenge.
Despite the mother's unwavering willpower, she was determined to bring her child into the world safely. However, no one can be sure that she will be able to make it through the birth process and welcome the birth of a new life.
Back on that sunny afternoon on May 8, 2012, Zhang Lili, as a Chinese teacher at Jiamusi No. 19 Middle School, was on duty at the school gate conscientiously and responsibly, guiding students to cross the road in a safe and orderly manner.
Suddenly, a truck that had been parked on the side of the road was slammed into the vehicle behind it, lost control, and rushed like a wild horse towards several students who were still walking on the road.
At the last moment, Zhang Lili stepped forward without hesitation and shouted, "Be careful! Attention!" She ran desperately, using her body to push the students away from the danger zone with all her might, but unfortunately, she was mercilessly knocked to the ground by the runaway car and crushed under the cold wheels.
With a deafening bang, the entire campus fell into a deathly silence. People only saw Zhang Lili lying quietly on the ground, blood gushing out of her body.
Then, screams and cries followed, and her colleagues saw this shocking scene, and tears fell like raindrops.
Soon after, the ambulance sounded the piercing siren and quickly rushed to the scene of the incident, and rushed Zhang Lili, who was already on the verge of life and death, to the hospital for treatment.
In the hospital, after a detailed examination and diagnosis by the doctors, in order to save her life, the doctors had to make a difficult and helpless decision - to perform a high amputation operation and remove her legs.
This cruel news was like a bolt from the blue for the whole family, and it hit their hearts hard.
When Zhang Lili woke up from a coma, her first concern was to confirm the safety of her students. Her concerned question, "Are the children all right?" moved her relatives and friends to tears.
Subsequently, she was rushed to the operating room for a major life-and-death operation.
In the operating room, top medical experts nervously consulted on her condition. The final diagnosis was shocking: in addition to the heavy blow to her legs and arms, Zhang Lili also suffered severe fractures in her ribs, pelvis and chest, and the severity of her injuries far exceeded expectations.
In order to provide her with better quality treatment, the hospital immediately initiated the transfer process.
However, at this critical moment, a touching picture appeared in front of me: a large number of citizens had gathered spontaneously at the entrance of the hospital, and they prayed for this heroic teacher who bravely saved people, and were deeply shocked by her selfless justice and courage.
Under the careful care of relatives and friends, Zhang Lili gradually walked out of the trough of life. She devoted herself to the arduous rehabilitation training, and in her spare time, she did not forget to strive for self-improvement, and dabbled in a wide range of books to enrich her knowledge reserve.
Although her legs are disabled, she has never given up on her vision of a better future.
What touched her the most was her husband's endless understanding and unwavering support. This seemingly cynical young man interprets his deep friendship with his wife with practical actions.
He fully accepted Zhang Lili, deeply understood Zhang Lili, provided her with a solid support, and gave her the courage to pursue her dreams.
The mother-in-law is even more caring and loves Zhang Lili as her own daughter. Under the careful care of her relatives, Zhang Lili gradually regained her optimistic attitude, and finally mastered the skills of driving a wheelchair proficiently in 2013, successfully adapting to the life of losing her legs.
2013 is undoubtedly a fruitful year in Zhang Lili's life. In the past year, she has been awarded the honorary titles of "National Model of Righteousness and Courage as a Moral Model" and "Person of the Year Who Moved China", and honorably joined the Communist Party of China.
Despite her remarkable career achievements, Zhang Lili has always had an indescribable sense of emptiness in her heart. As a woman, she is extremely eager to have a child of her own, not only to make up for the regrets of the family, but also from the sincere yearning for motherhood.
However, the pain of amputation has not completely dissipated, but Zhang Lili often blames and devalues herself deeply for this, and her heart is full of powerlessness. Therefore, she had to hide this strong desire to have children deep in her heart, and at the same time, "childbirth" became a topic rarely mentioned in this family.
Although the mother-in-law was full of anticipation to hold her grandson, she was well aware of her daughter-in-law's pain and never took the initiative to mention the topic of childbirth.
Every time she looks at someone else's baby, Zhang Lili can't help but be envious. However, she is also aware of her physical condition, so she can only comfort herself and say: "It's okay, we are still very young, and the child will always come."
Just when Zhang Lili was about to give up her dream of having children, the god of fate opened a new window for her. In 2014, a small life was quietly conceived in her womb.
That morning, Zhang Lili got up from the warm quilt and walked into the bathroom as usual. When she saw the two bright red bars on the pregnancy test stick, she was instantly excited, and she could barely control her emotions.
In order to ensure the accuracy of the results, she repeatedly asked her husband to take her to a major hospital for a comprehensive examination.
This sudden good news made the whole family excited, but at the same time, it also made people worry about whether Zhang Lili could successfully get through this difficult pregnancy. After all, no one dared to pack a ticket for her to get through this difficult time safely.
Luckily, despite his busy schedule, he still finds time to spend with his wife for prenatal checkups. As her belly grew larger, Zhang Lili began to truly experience the joy and responsibility of being a mother.
Unable to roll over, she could only sleep on her side, waking up every morning with numb arms and a heavy pregnant belly that made it more difficult for her to travel in a wheelchair.
However, Zhang Lili did not complain at all, she knew that she had to become stronger in order to become the most solid support for her children. Thinking back to years ago, it was because of negligence at work and neglect of her body that she lost her first child, and this time she will never make the same mistake again.
In the expectation of everyone, in April 2015, Zhang Lili finally ushered in the day of childbirth. The whole family was eagerly awaiting, but the whole process of giving birth was extremely difficult. Due to high paraplegia, her lower body muscles lack exercise for a long time, which makes it difficult for her uterus to contract properly.
Her blood flow was out of control in an instant, and her blood flow went straight to a terrifying peak of 1,000 milliliters! Her blood pressure plummeted, her heart rate soared, and her life was in danger.
At this critical juncture, medical staff must be fully engaged and work day and night to provide emergency rescue.
Staring at the most precious gift in the world, her son "Paipai", Zhang Lili's heart is full of endless happiness. She named her son "Paipai", which means that this is a gift from heaven and extremely precious.
On August 11, in order to commemorate her heroic deeds, the "Zhang Lili Righteousness and Courage Love Fund" successfully raised up to 15.72 million yuan.
However, just two years after having a beloved son "Paipai", a huge accident befell the family again: Zhang Lili was pregnant again!
The news exploded in her husband's ears like a thunderbolt in the clear sky. He recalled the pain his wife had experienced during the last childbirth, how could he rejoice at it? He was deeply afraid that Zhang Lili would face the torture of her life again.
After learning the news, the whole family persuaded her to give up the child.
However, Zhang Lili is unwavering, and she firmly believes that this is an additional gift from God that must be cherished. With her husband's understanding and support, she resolutely chose to take another risk.
Finally, under the attention and admonition of the whole family, Zhang Lili was pushed into the operating room again.
