When he was 5 years old, he was kicked by his biological father and disabled for life, paralyzed for more than 20 years, and bought a house with film
Xia Xiwei was a hard-working man, who was kicked and crippled by his biological father at the age of five, and was unable to stand up and walk for the rest of his life.
But he was strong and did not be defeated by the tribulations of life, but bought a house with his hands to apply film.
How many unknown tribulations has Xia Xiwei experienced?
The statements in this article are based on reliable sources of information and are detailed at the end of the article.
He was paralyzed by his father's kick
Xia Xiwei was born in a poor rural family, his father drank heavily all day, and his mother worked hard to survive.
One day when he was five years old, his father had another quarrel with his mother over an inconspicuous matter.
Little Xia Xiwei squatted helplessly in the corner, watching his father commit violence against his mother.
Due to his young age, he could not stop this "war" by his own strength. ”
So, with childish courage, he ran to his father crying, crying and saying, "Don't fight, don't fight." ”
However, at that time, his father had been completely seduced by alcohol and anger, and reason had long since disappeared from him.
In the face of his son's crying, he was completely ignited with anger and attacked this "mouthy" child.
A powerful kick hit Xia Xiwei's lumbar spine.
Sharp pain hit in an instant, Xia Xiwei tears rippled, and he lay helplessly on the ground wailing.
His mother was so frightened that she rushed him to a township clinic for medical treatment.
However, the small clinic in the countryside was unable to treat such a spinal injury, so she could only persuade her mother to go to a major hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
Otherwise, the child's condition will become more serious and paralysis will be an inevitable tragedy.
The poor family situation made it impossible for his mother to come up with enough money, so she could only watch Xia Xiwei's condition deteriorate little by little.
In the end, this disease, which could have been treated in time, was completely delayed due to family difficulties.
Xia Xiwei, who had lost the ability to stand, lay helplessly on the bed, eating, drinking, and Lazar needed to be taken care of by others.
Her mother's disappointment with her husband had already reached the extreme, and this time it crushed her last courage.
She didn't see any hope for the family, and finally chose to abandon the family completely.
The loss of her mother was undoubtedly the last straw, making life even more difficult for the family.
Xia Xiwei lost the care of his mother and could only rely on his elderly grandparents to take care of him.
Grandpa worked hard in the fields every day, and grandma tried her best to wait for Xia Xiwei, who was paralyzed in bed.
In this way, in the difficult and dull years, Xia Xiwei grew up.
When it was time to enter school, he was looking forward to going out on campus to learn and make new friends.
But his father ruthlessly used "family poverty" as an excuse to extinguish Xia Xiwei's dream of going to school.
In the following two or three years, Xia Xiwei repeatedly told his father about the idea of going to school.
Finally, his father relented and agreed to let him go to school with guilt.
In this way, 8-year-old Xia Xiwei finally got his wish and walked into the campus.
But the reality is often more cruel, and new difficulties are soon placed in front of him.
As a paralyzed disabled child, Xia Xiwei was unable to take care of himself, and the teacher had to keep an eye on his condition.
Although the teachers were conscientious, they couldn't take care of Xia Xiwei all the time, and the need to urinate and defecate often made him embarrassed in class.
In addition to the physical embarrassment, what made Xia Xiwei even more unbearable was the discrimination and ridicule from his classmates.
Most of the young children lack empathy, and Xia Xiwei's inability to move freely always attracts some people's fingers.
At first, the teacher had sternly put a stop to it, but as time went on, the effectiveness of the discipline gradually waned, and they still had no fear.
In addition to taunting, some mischievous students will even push Xia Xiwei's wheelchair into a corner for no reason, making it impossible for him to move on his own.
In the face of these rude behaviors, Xia Xiwei was powerless to resist and had no way to appeal, so he could only endure the grievances and pain in his heart.
In order to avoid being ridiculed in class, Xia Xiwei was often sent to school by his grandfather very early, and he stayed alone in the classroom.
As soon as the bell rang for class, the students would leave in groups, and Xia Xiwei could only wait for his grandfather's arrival alone.
This unusual way of life aggravated his low self-esteem.
After suffering too much harm from the people around him, Xia Xiwei chose to drop out of school and returned to his original life.
Become a beggar
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Xia Xiwei has been over 20 years old.
At the age of 22, his grandparents' physical strength was declining, and he realized that he could not rely on his family forever and that it was time to fight for survival.
So, Xia Xiwei embarked on the journey to Nanyang alone, eager to start a better future in the new city.
Xia Xiwei, who was a newcomer, was deeply impressed by the prosperous scene of Nanyang, a big city in the north.
Deep down, he was determined to put down roots in the city and create his own future.
However, reality soon gave Xia Xiwei a blow to the head.
As an unskilled and disabled person, his job search was very difficult.
Xia Xiwei looked for many jobs in a row, but the other party rejected him for various reasons.
At this time, he also recognized the reality, but he was unwilling to go back like this.
Seeing that the savings brought from home were running out, Xia Xiwei had to find a job as soon as possible.
The beggars on the side of the road caught his attention, and in order to survive he had to join them.
Every morning, he would drag his disabled body to the lively area of Nanyang city center, stretching out his hands to beg passers-by for alms.
Occasionally, he would pick up a few bottles of mineral water and sell them to recyclers for a small income.
But this was far from enough to support his basic living expenses, and he relied on charity from others for food.
Due to the frequent occurrence of fake disabled beggars, people are wary of young Xia Xiwei, and their sympathy is greatly reduced.
What's more, some hooligans often came to rob him of his begging gains, and even punched and kicked him, threatening him not to wander around the territory and beg.
In the face of these people's unreasonable bullying, Xia Xiwei, who was unable to resist, had no other way but to passively accept it.
Buy a house with a film
At a donation event, Xia Xiwei dragged his mutilated body and donated the only 30 yuan on his body.
And this donation activity also allowed him to see more understanding of the disabled Zhijian.
Xia Xiwei thought to himself, why can others support themselves with their hands, why can't he try?
Determined to get rid of the begging career completely, Xia Xiwei began to take the initiative to try various small businesses in order to find a way out of his own support.
Selling balloons, selling CDs, setting up stalls, as long as he can do it, he bravely tries it.
Although the road to entrepreneurship at the beginning was extremely difficult, Xia Xiwei was never discouraged.
It is this perseverance that supports him to keep trying and accumulating experience.
Once, when he was selling CDs, he happened to be standing next to a mobile phone film master.
Observing that this master works hard every day but earns a considerable income, Xia Xiwei is envious.
He also aspires to be like the other party, with a skillful craft to start a business and get rich.
Fortunately, this master is very good, and he saw through Xia Xiwei's situation and desire, so he took the initiative to teach him the skills of mobile phone film.
Since then, Xia Xiwei has made up his mind to focus on learning the craft.
In the summer of 2012, he finally officially started the entrepreneurial road of mobile phone film.
At first, he knew that it was not enough to know one craft alone, and that in order to stand out from his peers, he must have excellent skills.
So, he began to study and practice diligently, deliberately thinking about how to improve the efficiency of the film and make the film process more exquisite.
In this way, in the diligent practice day after day, Xia Xiwei's mobile phone film technology has become more and more proficient, and the professional level has been rising.
At the same time, his dedication to excellence has also led to a boom in his business.
I saw that the bright red cardboard he carried with him had the words "professional screensaver" written on it, and the trolley was placed with the simple tools needed for filming, which was all the belongings he had when he started a business.
At any time, people can see his busy and focused figure in Xinhua Square, the most lively place in Nanyang.
With his own skills, coupled with his diligent and down-to-earth work attitude, Xia Xiwei's film business is becoming more and more prosperous, and his income is also rising.
Sticking a mobile phone film for 10 yuan, when the business was at its most prosperous, he could earn more than 5,000 yuan a month, and finally stopped worrying about food and clothing.
However, with the rapid development of the mobile phone industry, there are more and more professional film shops, and various tricks emerge in endlessly.
The pressure of peer competition has increased sharply, and Xia Xiwei's business has inevitably been impacted, and his monthly income has dropped to more than 2,000 yuan.
Despite the decrease in income, Xia Xiwei is grateful to be able to support himself with his own hands.
In this way, after starting a business in Nanyang City for many years, in 2014, Xia Xiwei finally had his own nest.
Although the affordable house of more than 80 square meters is not large, it is for him, a disabled person who works alone outside the home.
Having your own nest is like having a safe haven.
Life nowadays
In 2018, a video titled "Disabled guy sticks film to buy a house at the end of 6 years" went viral on the Internet, and Xia Xiwei's inspirational story attracted more people's attention.
Subsequently, major media rushed to interview him. In the face of the media's pursuit, he did not shy away.
In front of the camera, he expressed his hope that through his personal experience, he could inspire more people to live strongly.
In 2021, a critical illness almost took his life, and in order to save his life, he had to undergo lower limb amputation.
The cost of the operation was high, far exceeding his savings over the years, and Xia Xiwei made it difficult for him.
In times of crisis, well-wishers from all walks of life reached out to raise funds for him.
Finally, in July 2021, Xia Xiwei received treatment at the Seventh People's Hospital of Zhengzhou.
Soon after the surgery, he recovered with an amazing picture and expressed his gratitude to those who donated to him.
After recovering, Xia Xiwei regained his old job and continued to shout on the streets: "Film".
With the development of society, more and more people have mastered the skills of filming, and even some people do not need to find professionals to apply film.
As a result, Xia Xiwei's work became more and more difficult, and he could barely make ends meet.
But he is not depressed and is thinking of a new way out of life.
epilogue
Xia Xiwei's experience tells us that people should not give up hope for the future, and everyone can create their own "world" with their own hands.
