"Fate kisses me with pain, but I repay it with a song."
Think about it, if a rural girl is deaf from a young age, what will happen to her life?
There is such a girl in Hunan, she was deaf when she was half a year old, and she couldn't even speak, but later she was admitted to Tsinghua University's doctorate.
She has relied on lip reading to attend classes since she was a child, and now she has not only become a postdoctoral fellow at Westlake University, but also married a classmate from Tsinghua University.
This girl is Jiang Mengnan, who moved China.
Jiang Mengnan obviously couldn't hear it, how did she get admitted to Tsinghua University?
After reading her story, you will know how inspirational a person can be.
The cry in the mountains
In 1992, Jiang Mengnan was born in Mangshan Town, Hunan, and as the only child in the family, she was particularly favored.
However, fate did not favor Jiang Mengnan, and when she was half a year old, she became deaf due to the misuse of ototoxic drugs.
At first, her parents didn't find out, but they just thought their daughter was quite quiet.
But after a long time, they realized that something was wrong.
When the voice came out outside, Jiang Mengnan didn't respond, and the couple panicked.
They took their daughter to Changsha Xiangya Medical College for a check-up, where the doctor diagnosed it as a form of "severe neural deafness" that would be difficult to cure.
This diagnosis was like a bolt from the blue, and the couple's mood never calmed down.
As middle school teachers, they have always felt that they are intellectuals, so their daughters can't be too bad.
But their daughter's illness forced them to face reality.
Generally speaking, as long as a person can't hear, then most likely that person can't speak, because he doesn't know how to pronounce a word.
Therefore, some relatives and friends around persuaded them to send their daughter to a school for the deaf and mute, stop spending money on their daughter, and have another one later.
The couple didn't believe it, and they still traveled to hospitals across the country, hoping to find a ray of life for their daughter's recovery.
However, most of the hospitals were helpless, and they fell into anxiety for a while.
In the eyes of Jiang Mengnan's parents, they don't have any big dreams, they just hope that their daughter can be a normal person, instead of letting her daughter out of this society and become a disabled person.
So they began to use some home remedies, drinking traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, which were commonplace for Jiang Mengnan when he was a child.
After a long period of observation, these home remedies did not play any role in Jiang Mengnan.
Just when the husband and wife were emotionally lost, Jiang Mengnan's play made them see hope.
A turning point in fate
When Jiang Mengnan was 1 year old, her parents took her to Beijing to see a doctor again, but every time she saw a doctor, the result was the same, that is, there was no cure.
After returning to the hotel, the husband and wife sat on chairs, and you can imagine each other's feelings.
At that time, Jiang Mengnan was playing with a small ball, and accidentally the ball ran out of her reach.
So she made an "ahh
When the couple heard this, they froze for a moment, this was the first time they had heard their daughter's voice.
This shows that her daughter has the desire to speak out, and it is not that she can't speak out, but she needs training.
After returning to their hometown in Hunan, the couple began to train their daughter's voice.
They confronted their daughter and taught her what to say and how to place her tongue when pronouncing it.
When Jiang Mengnan first started studying, he could only open his mouth and couldn't make any sound.
Later, when the couple were talking, they asked their daughter to touch their throats to feel the vibration of their vocal cords, and put their daughter's hand in front of their mouth to feel the air flow when they spoke.
For the couple, they are using a completely new approach to education.
So in order to educate their daughter well, they studied speech rehabilitation together and even wrote a research report.
With the efforts of her parents, Jiang Mengnan gradually learned to speak, but she did not rely on hearing, but on memorizing the mouth shape of each word to speak.
The couple knew that they had an accent in their speech, so they asked their daughter to watch the news broadcast every day and practice according to the announcer's mouth shape.
Relying on long-term training, Jiang Mengnan not only did not lag behind children of the same age, but also surpassed most people.
In class, she often sits in the front so that she can see the teacher's mouth more clearly, but if the teacher recites the lecture, she will not know anything.
Therefore, in her usual studies, she has to work harder than ordinary people, and in the fourth grade, she has already completed the fifth grade course and skipped directly to the sixth grade.
When Jiang Mengnan took the junior high school entrance examination, her grades were second in the city, and she proposed to her parents that she would go to school in the city.
The parents fell silent after hearing this, after all, their daughter has been protected by them since she was a child, and they really don't worry about their daughter alone.
But they thought about it, their daughter had grown up, she was going to enter society eventually, and they couldn't stay with her for the rest of their lives.
So whether it is junior high school or high school, Jiang Mengnan is mostly alone, she can't hear the voice of the outside world, she can only keep learning.
The "Golden Phoenix" in the mountains
In 2010, Jiang Mengnan took the college entrance examination for the first time, and his results just passed the first line.
She felt that she had failed the exam, so she went back to repeat her studies and was admitted to Jilin University, a 985 institution, the following year.
When choosing a major, Jiang Mengnan thought that there are still many people like herself in this world, so she chose to major in pharmacy, and she hopes to help more people in the future.
In 2011, Jiang Mengnan set off from Hunan, crossed more than 3,000 kilometers, and went to Jilin University to report alone.
After graduating with a bachelor's degree, Jiang Mengnan was admitted to Jilin University for a master's degree and a doctorate from Tsinghua University.

At this time, Jiang Mengnan had already implanted a cochlear implant in her ear with the help of doctors, and she was gradually able to hear the outside world.
At first, Jiang Mengnan didn't want to have surgery, she felt that it was too risky, but the doctor's words moved her, and the doctor said, "Don't you want to know how possible your life is?" ”
When she first regained her hearing, Jiang Mengnan was not used to the noise of the outside world, and she felt that it was very noisy.
However, as she continued to practice, she gradually fell in love with the sounds of the world and also fell in love with music.
Jiang Mengnan's deeds were reported by the media, and in 2022, he, together with Yang Zhenning, Su Bingtian and others, was named "Moving China 2021 Person of the Year".
