1. The regret of life: The once brilliant and moving future of Sanglan should be infinitely brilliant!
Sang Lan was selected for gymnastics training from a young age, and was extremely talented, winning the highest honor of the national vault championship at the age of 16. It is a miracle that she was able to stand out in such a difficult and complex gymnastics event at that age! At that time, Sang Lan was heroic and skilled, and there was no doubt that she would be the future leader of China's gymnastics world.
Everyone is extremely proud of her outstanding achievements and firmly believe that she will become the best of the next generation and win glory for the country in the international arena.
However, fate played a merciless trick on this genius girl. Just as Sang Lan was shining on the gymnastics stage, a sudden accident caused her to fall from the altar. In 1998, at the age of 17, Sang Lan went to the United States to participate in a friendly match, and unfortunately fell from a height during pre-game training, resulting in serious injuries such as cervical fracture and high paraplegia.
Since then, she has been paralyzed from the chest down, and can no longer sweat on the gymnastics mat as she used to, showing her superb skills of combining strength and softness. In this way, her life was brutally destroyed, pulling her from the peak of brilliance into the abyss, and her future was instantly wiped out, replaced by endless embarrassment and painful regret.
2. Family support: Tears and determination are intertwined to build a bridge of love!
When the bad news came back to China, Sang Lan's parents were overwhelmed with grief and burst into tears. They immediately set off for the United States, eager to see what happened to their daughter. However, when they saw their beloved daughter paralyzed in bed, the heroic appearance of the past was gone, and the fragile and helpless patient in front of them seemed to be like the daughter in their memory.
The parents fell into confusion and despair, tears poured out like a flood that burst the embankment, and the whole family was enveloped in deep worry.
Facing the complaining gaze of her parents, Sang Lan's heart was like a knife. She firmly vowed to regain her parents' strength and live strong, even if she was physically disabled. Although his limbs could not move as he wanted, his inner courage and tenacity never wavered.
It is this tenacious perseverance that allows her to rediscover hope and motivation for life in the darkness.
With the love and encouragement of her family, she was able to regain her strength and bravely embark on a new journey in life.
3. Regain self-care ability: start from scratch and rebuild your own wonderful life!
After returning to her hometown, Sang Lan's life was like stepping into a frozen abyss, and there was no way to continue. Worried about their daughter's parents, they rented a cramped apartment in Beijing and drove her in a wheelchair to a rehabilitation center for rigorous training day after day.
The basic life skills of her hands, even if they are just seemingly insignificant things such as how to hold a spoon and complete eating independently, are insurmountable chasms for her.
It took all her strength to barely move her hands near her mouth and limit her food intake.
Everything had to start from scratch, and she needed to uphold firm beliefs, grit her teeth, and start all over again. When she was finally able to tie her shoes and pick up the dishes and chopsticks on her own, Sang Lan's heart was full of excitement, beyond words, only tears slid down her cheeks, reflecting her perseverance and determination.
This was the starting point for her to rebuild her new life, and it was also a crucial step. She forged ahead from setbacks, and with her own will and perseverance, she gradually regained her optimism and self-confidence, reinterpreted the true meaning of life, and brought endless longing and expectation to the future.
Every little progress is what she has earned with hard sweat and unremitting efforts. Although the process was extremely difficult, her tenacity and fighting spirit were truly touching.
Sang Lan is like this, step by step, gradually reinventing herself and rejuvenating the light of life.
4. Perseverance and courage: two new journeys in life
Despite the heavy blow that fate inflicted on Sang Lan, she never chose to give up. With her unremitting efforts and unyielding courage, she finally realized her dream in 2002 and was admitted to Peking University.
Her mother was always by her side, witnessing first-hand the five years she spent on the college campus, culminating in the successful completion of her coveted undergraduate degree.
For those of us in good health, going to college may be a natural thing to do. However, this achievement is undoubtedly a great feat for a disabled person like Sunlan who is a high paraplegic.
When she wore a bachelor's dress and stood proudly in the center of the stage, the audience applauded warmly, cheering one after another, at this moment, she looked so dazzling and full of confidence.
This courage and perseverance is undoubtedly the most perfect interpretation of vitality.
After graduating from university, Sang Lan's life ushered in a new chapter. In 2008, she reappeared in the public eye in the costume of an Olympic ambassador, which made her feel that life has been given a new meaning and value.
After ten years of suffering, 17-year-old Sang Lan has crossed the youth girl and become a tough woman who has resolutely stepped into a new field. Although the dream of gymnastics in the past was shattered, the Olympic spirit was deeply imprinted in her heart, and her love and dedication to sports have never changed.
V. Struggle for Rights Protection: Fight for Fairness and Justice!
Life is gradually improving, but the annual rehabilitation treatment costs of hundreds of thousands of yuan are like a sword of Damocles hanging over Sang Lan's head, which makes people tremble. Recalling the training accident that year, she was full of endless regrets and unwillingness.
However, the truth is not as simple as it seems, it turned out that coach Belu removed the training mat without authorization during training, causing her to be distracted while doing maneuvers in the air, and finally fell down.
This is undoubtedly a tragedy caused by serious man-made operational errors.
Faced with such a situation, Sang Lan strengthened her belief and decided to seek compensation from all the responsible parties involved. In accordance with the relevant laws and regulations of the United States, she finally decided to file a huge claim of up to $1.8 billion, which was jointly borne by all relevant responsible persons, including five institutions and three individuals.
This sky-high compensation request has attracted wide attention from all walks of life, and many people are surprised and questioned about it, wondering whether Sang Lan has other intentions and whether it involves monetary interests.
After all, more than 13 years have passed since the accident of that year, why is such a shocking claim being made now? Some people even accuse Sang Lan of making up false reasons for the coach's withdrawal for money.
In practice, however, the amount of compensation was calculated in full compliance with the strict provisions of U.S. law. Sang Lan originally had a bright future, but because of this sudden disaster, she was paraplegic and destined to spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair.
And all of this was caused by human negligence, so her claim for compensation was by no means vexatious.
In the course of the lawsuit, someone made public the video footage of Sang Lan suffering an accident at the scene. The footage shows that while she was in the middle of the exercise, coach Belu stood not far away and observed, and did not remove the mat.
It wasn't until Sang Lan landed and was injured that Belu rushed to check on her injuries as soon as possible.
Even so, it is still impossible to escape the existence of doubts, which makes the accusations made by Sang Lan face a huge challenge. However, after several arduous negotiations, the two sides finally succeeded in reaching a settlement agreement and awarded Sunland up to $10 million in compensation.
This not only provided solid financial support for her future rehabilitation, but more importantly, this huge amount of money was the result of Sang Lan's perseverance and persistent pursuit of justice.
It shows the world that she has never wavered in her unwavering belief in upholding her rights and upholding social justice.
After the dust settles on the compensation issue, Sang Lan welcomes a crucial new partner in her life - her agent Huang Jian. Huang Jian is also a retired athlete, the two hit it off when they first met, and after more than ten years of ups and downs, they gradually established a deep emotional bond, and finally entered the palace of marriage hand in hand.
