In a township in Rizhao, Shandong, there is a special woman who lives, she is Dong Mingying. Her life story is like a music with ups and downs, full of tenacity and hope.
Dong Mingying was a healthy and lively child when she was a child, and she was also very beautiful. However, a sudden high fever changed the trajectory of her life dramatically, and she could only crawl on all fours.
When she reached the age of twenty-four, she saw that her peers around her had married and had children, but because of her health, no one came to the door to propose. This made her feel extremely lost, but she did not get depressed because of this and still faced life positively.
One day, the matchmaker in the village knocked on the door of Dong Mingying's house and said that she was going to introduce her to a family business. Hearing the news, Dong Mingying's parents were overjoyed. After being introduced by the matchmaker, they learned that there was a bachelor named Feng Zhiyu in the next village, who was forty-six years old, twenty-two years older than Dong Mingying.
Hearing this age gap, Dong Mingying's parents were a little hesitant. But Dong Mingying wanted to give it a try, after all, this is a rare family affair. And Feng Zhiyu also said that he didn't mind Dong Mingying's physical disability, which made Dong Mingying look forward to him a little more.
Under the arrangement of their parents, the two met. Through conversation, Dong Mingying found that Feng Zhiyu was an honest and honest person, and his sincerity touched Dong Mingying and her parents. Soon after, the two held a wedding and began their married life.
After getting married, Dong Mingying and Feng Zhiyu both longed to have a child. However, Feng Zhiyu is forty-six years old, and there are certain risks in having children at this age. And Dong Mingying is also worried that she will suffer great pain during pregnancy because of physical reasons.
But they were not intimidated by these difficulties and decided to have children anyway. So, they went to the hospital for a preconception check-up. The doctor told them that the two could have children, but Dong Mingying's body was relatively special, and the child might have a genetic risk.
Despite this, Dong Mingying and Feng Zhiyu were mentally prepared. They firmly believe that no matter what the future holds for their children, they will care to raise and educate them.
A year later, Dong Mingying gave birth to a lovely little girl. The following year, they welcomed another daughter. Luckily, both children are in good health, much to the couple's relief.
In fact, Dong Mingying was just as healthy as other children when she was born, but it was only later that she suffered that serious illness, which led to physical disabilities.
Dong Mingyuan was born in a small town in Rizhao, and his family made a living from farming. She also had an older sister, and at that time, a larger family meant more labor. So, despite risking a fine, Dong Mingying's parents still hope to have more children. Soon after, her parents gave birth to another boy, and although the family of five was not wealthy, it was full of warmth and happiness.
However, misfortune struck. In the year when his younger brother was born, Dong Mingying suddenly had a serious illness and a high fever that did not go away. This made Dong Mingying's parents anxious, and they hurriedly took Dong Mingying to the hospital. The doctor prescribed medicine and injections for her, but Dong Mingying's fever just couldn't go away.
Dong Mingying's parents looked at their child's uncomfortable appearance and were anxious. They thought that the child was just recovering from a serious illness and needed time to recover, so they didn't pay much attention to it. But as time went by, Dong Mingying couldn't even sit still, and her physical condition became worse and worse.
At this time, Dong Mingying's parents realized the seriousness of the problem. They took Dong Mingying everywhere to seek medical treatment, but the hospital in the county town couldn't find out why. In desperation, they could only take Dong Mingying to travel around, and after two years of traveling, they finally found the root of the problem in a big hospital.
It turned out that Dong Mingying's waist nerve atrophy, and I am afraid that she will not be able to stand and walk like a normal child in the future. This news is like a bolt from the blue for Dong Mingying's parents. They could never have imagined that their children would suffer such misfortune.
But they didn't give up, and decided that no matter how difficult it was, they would raise Dong Mingying well, even if she couldn't get married in the future, they would always take care of her.
As Dong Mingying gradually grew up, she could only learn to crawl on all fours because she could not walk on her feet. Every time she crawled, her little hands got dirty. To make it easier for her to move, her parents tied two shoes to her hands. Sometimes, she will also ask her parents: "Why am I different from others?" Hearing her daughter's question, her parents were full of guilt and helplessness.
When she reached school age, Dong Mingying's parents didn't want her to lose the opportunity to get an education and decided to send her to school. Most of the children in the school knew Dong Mingying, and at the beginning, a few naughty children would laugh at her, but many more were still willing to help her.
As Dong Mingying grew up, she became less and less confident in her body. When she got home, she told her parents that she didn't want to go to school anymore. Her parents constantly encouraged her, and in order to make it easier for her to study and live in school, her parents also applied to the school to change her into a special desk and wheelchair, and told her classmates not to laugh at her.
Soon, Dong Mingying graduated from elementary school. Since there was no junior high school in the town, she had to go to boarding school in the county seat. But she had limited mobility and eventually dropped out of school early.
After dropping out of school, Dong Mingying helped her parents do what she could at home, such as cooking, washing clothes, and tidying up the house.
When she grew up, she met Feng Zhiyu, who was twenty-two years older than her, and the two started a family and had two lovely daughters.
After giving birth, Dong Mingying put most of her energy into the child, but she also had some free time.
In 2018, Dong Mingying came into contact with the short video platform, and she felt that it was a good opportunity to show her life. So, she began to shoot some videos on it to share her life. Netizens were deeply attracted when they saw her unique body, and her fans became more and more.
She told everyone without concealing that she became like this because she was sick when she was a child, and she also faced the doubts of netizens calmly. She also started a live broadcast to increase some income for her family. Netizens are also very supportive of her and have purchased goods from her live broadcast room.
In this way, the title of "crawling mother" spread.
In 2020, Dong Mingying joined a self-improvement volunteer association, where most of the volunteers are disabled. Together, they have established an e-commerce live promotion station for the disabled, so that more disabled people can show their value and find their own careers through the Internet.
By 2022, Dong Mingying's video account has accumulated more than 300,000 followers, and she is busy every day. And her husband no longer has to go out to work, driving a small tricycle to sell coal in the town.
Their daughter is also growing up healthy, and the family is working hard for a better future.
Fortunately, the child did not inherit his mother's disability, many netizens think that Dong Mingying was caused by the injection that damaged the waist nerve when he was a child, what do you think, friends?
