Chen Linxi, a 13-year-old Changsha girl, was diagnosed with severe deafness in both ears as soon as she turned 1 year old.
Catch up with diligence and perseverance to become the best version of yourself. In the company of her family, she broke the "curse" of "ten deaf and nine dumb", not only spoke standard Mandarin and had excellent academic performance, but also became a "top student" in English and could communicate fluently with foreign netizens.
After the deeds of Liu Lingli, a Chinese character who moved in 2023, reported by this newspaper, this "Mother Liu" who has been sticking to the special education post for 33 years has become a role model for Chen Linxi. On April 24, Chen Linxi and his father Chen Bo found Sanxiang Metropolis Daily, hoping to get the guidance of teacher Liu Lingli to better overcome hearing impairment and help more hearing-impaired children like her in the future.
She was extremely deaf in both ears, and her father resigned to take her to recovery
Chen Linxi's hometown is in Yongzhou, and his father and mother originally worked in Guangdong. Chen Linxi was diagnosed with severe deafness when he was 1 year old, and when he was 1 and a half years old, he wore a cochlear implant.
"We were helpless at first, and we didn't see hope until the child put on a cochlear and responded to the sound. Chen Bo said that the child was helped to implant cochlear implants for free, and under the advice of doctors, rehabilitation began as soon as possible.
In 2012, Chen Bo took his daughter to Changsha for rehabilitation training, and the people at the rehabilitation center bluntly said that rehabilitation is difficult. Tell Chen Bo that language rehabilitation is very difficult, and parents need to have time and patience, which is almost impossible for a dual-income family.
After discussing with his wife, Chen Bo decided to quit his job and become a stay-at-home father, so as to grasp the golden period of his child's recovery.
Before putting on the cochlea, Xiao Linxi had never heard a sound, and rehabilitation training needed to start with "listening". Chen Bo kept talking to the child every day, reading picture books for her, and guiding her to babble and pronounce. After a month of hard teaching, Chen Bo's voice became hoarse, but he was very happy, and Xiao Linxi was gradually able to make a sound, although it was only a simple "ah".
Place your child's little hands on her vocal cords to feel the airflow and teach her to feel the sounds of her lips with her hands...... After a year and a half of difficult hearing rehabilitation training, Chen Linxi's pronunciation gradually became clear, reaching 95%. In June 2014, she successfully "graduated" from the rehabilitation center.
Catch up with diligence and perseverance and become the best version of yourself
Chen Linxi has understood his own specialness since he was a child, and he is very self-disciplined and motivated, reading, writing, and improving his language skills. "In order to cultivate listening, listening is played everywhere you go, because in this way you can learn to speak and speak better. There are several broken listening equipment in the glove box in the room, witnessing her efforts and twists and turns along the way.
Today, Chen Linxi is studying in Changsha No. 1 Middle School Bilingual Experimental Middle School, going out every morning and returning home after self-study in the evening, busy but fulfilling. "My classmates are working hard, and I have to catch up. "Speaking standard Mandarin, it's hard to imagine a hearing-impaired child without vocal language thinking in front of me. Chen Linxi told reporters that in addition to daily study, he insisted on communicating with foreign students through video with his younger brother Chen Zhuqi almost every day, "They teach me English, I teach them Chinese." ”
In the recorded video, Chen Linxi's English pronunciation still has some flaws, but he has a large vocabulary, accurate grammar, and no pressure to communicate. At both ends of the video, the knowledge-seeking children talk about their study and life, about their customs and customs, and they are confident and generous.
At present, the siblings have connected with netizens in nearly 50 countries and regions, introducing Chinese traditional festivals, Chinese kung fu, food, the quintessence of Peking Opera and Olympic architecture to foreign netizens...... Spread Chinese culture and tell Chinese stories to the world. The video of the online dialogue with foreign netizens has been viewed more than 200 million times on the whole network, winning the praise of millions of netizens, and is affectionately known as the "little messenger of cultural communication".

Chen Linxi, who has excelled in his studies, has won more than 80 provincial, municipal, district, and school-level honors, and won the 2022-2023 Hunan Province Three Good Students and the 2022-2023 Changsha New Concept Three Good Students...... This girl with a cochlear ear, although she is small, bursts out with vigorous strength, "catches" with diligence and perseverance, overcomes many obstacles, and becomes the best version of herself.
In late March, the list of "Hunan Good Boys in the New Era" in 2024 was released, and Chen Linxi and his younger brother Chen Zhuqi were on the list.
Share experience and spread "warm sun" in the process of chasing light
Accompanied by their father, the siblings often participate in various public welfare activities. "I've been helped by others and I want to help others in any way I can. Chen Linxi has shared his growth experience in many activities, inspiring more disabled children to be positive and work hard.
In the Love Ear Day event held by the Changsha Association for the Deaf, Chen Linxi unreservedly shared his learning methods, and used the self-media platform to speak out for the left-behind children's "Help Yourself Read Good Books as Children" project and the "Guardian 25 Decibels" project of Beijing Kaier Care Center for the Hearing Impaired.

"Sister Jiang Mengnan is so inspirational, I want to learn from her. In 2022, through the report of this newspaper, Chen Linxi learned the story of Jiang Mengnan, who moved China's 2021 Person of the Year and a doctor from Tsinghua University, and the big sister who was full of energy and smiled confidently in front of the camera became her idol. Jiang Mengnan's tenacity and optimism have also become a source of strength for Chen Linxi.
"My dream is to become a calligrapher, and I hope that when I grow up, I can go to various countries to study and spread the charm of our Chinese culture to more places. Chen Linxi, who was 11 years old at the time, said with a smile that he wanted to learn English well and spread Chinese culture to the world.
Like Ms. Liu Lingli, help more children with disabilities
"When I entered junior high school, I was a little more stressful about studying. I wore a cochlear to the class, which was more difficult. Through this newspaper's report, Chen Linxi and his father learned about the deeds of Liu Lingli, a Chinese character who moved in 2023, and were once again encouraged.
Because of wearing cochlear implants, Chen Linxi's hearing has an "optimal distance", and the knowledge points in the classroom are sometimes missed because he can't hear them. She is worried about the impact of hearing impairment on her future education and employment.
"Ms. Liu Lingli has been a special education teacher for decades, and has cultivated many excellent students and has rich experience. Chen Bo said that he wanted to ask her for advice. Under the contact of reporters, Chen Bo and Liu Lingli communicated online. "The child is really well trained!" Liu Lingli praised Chen Linxi, who worked hard, and said: "Looking forward to the second Jiang Mengnan." ”
Regarding Chen Linxi's confusion in learning, Liu Lingli enlightened that the most important thing is to maintain a hard study and positive state. Regarding Chen Linxi's concern about the impact of hearing, Liu Lingli used her son's experience as an example and gave many suggestions and solutions.
"Mr. Liu is so kind and patient, and he has benefited a lot. Chen Linxi said frankly that he hopes to be like Liu Lingli in the future, and can use his own strength to help more disabled children.
Reporter's Notes
The extraordinary power of ordinary people has a kind of power, called role models, with their own dazzling light, guiding light chasers all the way forward. Breaking through in silence, with a loud horn, is Jiang Mengnan's strength, and using everything to unlock the silent life is Liu Lingli's strength. Firm belief, ambition to go, youth and sunny growth, is not Chen Linxi's strength. Although they are ordinary people, they are extraordinary role models who inspire more people to strive to become a better version of themselves.
