In 1955, a bright pearl was born in Wangzu Shandong - Zhang Haidi. From the moment she was born, the girl showed amazing talent and extraordinary talent, which made the neighbors sigh: "This girl will become a literary giant in the future!"
However, fate seemed to have played a joke on Zhang Haidi. One early morning when she was five years old, she was supposed to be immersed in the joy of the playground when she suddenly felt weakness in her legs and fell to the ground.
The family immediately rushed her to the hospital, where the diagnosis came like a bolt from the blue – she suffered from a rare disease – a spinal hemangioma. Doctors judged Zhang Haidi's condition to be serious and predicted that she would not be able to pass the threshold of 27 years old.
This is undoubtedly the heaviest blow in his life for Zhang Haidi, who is only five years old! Seeing that her dream was facing an untimely death just as it broke ground, her heart was filled with fear and helplessness.
At that time, she was still an ignorant child about the disease, naively believing that she could recover her health with just a few injections.
Faced with such a cruel reality, Zhang Haidi's family did not give up easily. In just five years, they assisted Zhang Haidi with three major surgeries, which resulted in her losing six spinal plates and becoming a high paraplegic.
Even so, Zhang Haidi still has the desire to return to school, but her physical condition prevents her from stepping into the school gate, and no school is willing to accept her.
Rejected from school, Zhang Haidi could only study at home. For a young child, the road is undoubtedly extremely difficult. And how did she persevere? It's all about that tenacity and unyielding willpower.
With unwavering perseverance, Zhang Haidi has studied various textbooks by himself one after another. She asked her sister for pinyin and gradually mastered the skills of independent learning.
Although her family felt sorry for her plight, they never put any pressure on her and never let her take any exams. However, Zhang Haidi has always maintained a high degree of self-control, self-motivation, and diligence and studiousness.
The courses behind Zhang Haidi's quest for knowledge are not only the theoretical knowledge in the textbooks, but also the testimony of her putting what she has learned into practice. Fast forward to 1970, when she followed her parents to a vast rural land, where she felt the severe lack of medical resources and saw countless villagers suffering from illness, which made her feel a great responsibility and decided to use her own strength to help them.
Talented, she resolutely chose to study medicine on her own.
She read medical books tirelessly, and her mastery of theoretical knowledge reached the point of perfection. What is even more admirable is that she even conducts acupuncture experiments on herself as a way to deepen her understanding and mastery of knowledge.
After unremitting efforts, Zhang Haidi finally mastered certain clinical skills and was able to solve some simple diseases for the villagers.
In the process of educating rural children, Zhang Haidi met her life partner, Wang Zuoliang. This tough and brave girl, step by step, blooms her own light in a barren environment.
Not only is she self-taught, but she is also actively involved in local life, teaching singing, tutoring homework, and taking care of the daily life of her students.
Along the way, Zhang Haidi interpreted the spirit of "going against the wind" with practical actions. Despite her physical disability, she never gave up her thirst for knowledge; Despite the hardships of life, she has always been actively involved and giving back to the community.
We can imagine how difficult it was for a young high-ranking paraplegic girl to be self-taught in that era, and her story is like a clear spring, stirring people's hearts, allowing us to witness the persistent pursuit of dreams in a fragile life.
When the call of death came quietly, Zhang Haidi's heart was undoubtedly magnificent. As a high paraplegic, she has already experienced the vicissitudes of life, and now she has to fight to the death against cancer, which can be said to be even worse.
We can't imagine how depressed and desperate she must have been.
However, it was such a person who was once sentenced to "death" who was not overwhelmed, but started a life-and-death struggle with fate with firm faith. Her thirst for life was so intense that even death could not stop her progress.
Zhang Haidi's husband Wang Zuoliang is like an eternally burning lighthouse, giving his wife endless care and encouragement, injecting unprecedented motivation and courage into her life.
Under the incomparably careful care of Mr. Wang Zuoliang, Zhang Haidi, with his tenacious vitality, bravely crossed the dangers of life and death, and began a ten-year life-and-death struggle against the disease.
Incredibly, in this protracted and difficult battle against cancer, Zhang Haidi suffered another cancer attack again! One can't help but ask, how does a person who has already suffered so much pressure persevere?
However, she never chose to give up, always greeted life with a smile, and resisted the torture of illness with sunny optimism and firm perseverance.
It is such a positive attitude towards life and the fearless spirit of seeing death as if it were home, which makes Zhang Haidi like a towering tree rooted in the tree of life, no matter how many storms and storms he encounters, he can still stand proudly.
Now, Zhang Haidi has spent sixty-eight years of spring and autumn and is about to enter the ancient years of his life. This is undoubtedly an amazing miracle, because in the year she was five years old, doctors had asserted that she would not live beyond twenty-seven years.
However, it was this indomitable woman who defeated the threat of death again and again with her strong willpower, and profoundly interpreted the true meaning of "life is precious" with practical actions.
In those long years of fighting cancer, Zhang Haidi often showed a unique sitting posture of "crossed legs" in public. At first, there were many doubts and doubts about this, and they didn't understand why a high paraplegic could easily complete this action.
However, Zhang Haidi did not choose to escape, but frankly explained the reason.
It turned out that this particular sitting position was not her intention, but from the surgeries she underwent when she was a child to lose her spine. Due to the severe scoliosis of the spine chair, the regular sitting position would cause her great pain.
After trial and error, she found that lifting Erlang's legs not only relieved the burden on her back, but also helped her maintain a stable sitting posture.
From this insignificant detail, we can get a glimpse of Zhang Haidi's persistent pursuit of life. She is always thinking about how to make her life more comfortable, even if it is just a simple sitting position, and she has poured her careful design into it.
There is no doubt that it is the fiery flame of cherishing and loving life that has become a strong pillar for Zhang Haidi to always stand tall and go through the vicissitudes of life but still live like a butterfly!
Whenever we witness Zhang Haidi appear in the public eye with that iconic gesture, we are all moved by the high respect and deep admiration he shows.
Hidden under the seemingly paralyzed body is a never-extinguishing fire of fighting spirit, as well as an indomitable courage to face the challenges of fate and overcome many hardships.
She is like a mirror, reflecting the most precious and touching side of human nature.
Since the publication of the autobiographical novel "Dream in a Wheelchair", Zhang Haidi has not hesitated to donate all the meager manuscript fees to those poor students. As a paraplegic, she had every reason to use the funds to improve her living conditions and lead a better life.
However, she firmly chose to turn these funds into sunshine that warmed the world, illuminated countless families, and warmed the whole society. Just imagine, in that era of extremely difficult economic conditions, Zhang Haidi's donation was undoubtedly like a timely rain, nourishing those children who were struggling for education.
For them, this aid not only solves the imminent economic crisis, but more importantly, it injects the power of hope and gives them a glimpse of the future.
From a high paraplegic patient who was once asserted by doctors to "live no more than 27 years old", we witness the brilliance of human nature. Despite his disability and the twists and turns of his life, Zhang Haidi still has a heart of fraternity and is committed to helping others, turning his meager income into the seeds of good deeds, which are sprinkled in every corner of the world.
Her good deeds are like a warm current, stirring in everyone's heart. It is this kind of selfless love that makes Zhang Haidi's name immortal in people's hearts. Even though time flies, the precious spiritual wealth she left behind will be passed on from generation to generation, warming every positive, kind and beautiful heart.
Over the years, Zhang Haidi has not only generously donated money to support poor students, but also designed clothing for the Paralympic Games and Asian Para Games in recent years. Each work fully demonstrates the perseverance and self-improvement of the Chinese nation, and deeply touches the hearts of countless people.
We are sincerely grateful to her for paying attention to and advocating for the rights and interests of the disabled group with practical actions, and contributing to the construction of a harmonious society.
Only the never-ending feelings of public welfare enable Zhang Haidi to create an eternal glorious monument, stand on the lofty top of this social care, and illuminate and guide the way forward for each of us!
With perseverance and selfless dedication, she composed a hymn to life of "boundless love", whose noble qualities are worthy of being praised by us from generation to generation, and we will never forget!
