Zheng Liang was paralyzed below his chest.
Zheng Liang was once a Chinese men's volleyball player, 2 meters 01 tall and excellent jumping ability, he once helped the Chinese men's volleyball team win two Asian Championship championships and an Asian Games championship, is the team's history of the gold medal secondary attack.
But since 2016, he has been suffering from spinal cord lesions, and now he has no consciousness below the chest, and he cannot do without the help of nurses every day, except for rehabilitation training, he can only stay in bed for a long time.
In order to raise funds for the treatment of the disease, he recently launched a crowdfunding project on the online platform, which was enthusiastically helped by the outside world. In an interview with the surging news reporter, Zheng Liang said that he was very grateful, "There are always many good people and warm-hearted people. ”
At the same time, in addition to the sick salary, he is also trying to make money through online live broadcasting, "also trying to do this, to see if he can do it." ”
Zheng Liang raised funds on the online platform.
Treatment costs are high, and crowdfunding is used to treat diseases
After retiring from the army, from 2016, Zheng Liang occasionally felt some numbness in his legs, and after entering 2017, his condition became more and more serious, and then he completely lost the consciousness of his lower limbs, except for rehabilitation training, he could only stay in bed most of the time.
After seeing a doctor, the doctor gave the diagnosis of spinal cord lesions.
With the passage of time, Zheng Liang's condition has not been fundamentally improved. He told the surging news reporter that in 2019, he was unconscious below the navel, but now he is paralyzed below the chest.
In order to treat his illness, in addition to the hospital in his hometown of Hangzhou, he has also visited many large hospitals in other cities and authoritative hospitals in the industry, but there is no particularly good cure.
More than a month ago, a hospital in Ningxia took the initiative to contact him and expressed its willingness to provide treatment for him, and he has been treated in Yinchuan for more than a month.
Zheng Liang revealed that the hospital is very small in scale and does not have the conditions for rehabilitation training, but after more than a month of treatment, he feels that his physical condition is good, "for example, there was no taste at eating before, and now there is a sense of taste, and the mental state is much better than when he came." ”
"One of the directors here told me after the examination that my spinal condition had gone down a phase (worsening upwards) and had dropped by two to three centimeters. This disease wants to be able to sit up at once, and it is not realistic to be able to walk, it must be a very long process. ”
The hospital offered to provide the first two courses of treatment (one course a month) free of charge, but from the third course onwards, it cost a lot, requiring 2,000 yuan per day for treatment, not including part of the cost of drugs.
Originally, Zheng Liang planned to return to Hangzhou once after two courses of treatment, but at present, due to the relationship between the epidemic and the long-distance trek, it is already very hard for him, so he can only "take one step at a time" at present.
Zheng Liang was previously actively rehabilitated.
Thanks to the help of the outside world, he is also working hard
A few days ago, Zheng Liang launched a crowdfunding project on the online platform.
In the fact sheet, he wrote that his follow-up treatment fees, nursing fees, etc. still need more than one million yuan, "all the savings and support of relatives and friends in the past have been spent, and some debts are still owed, and now they only rely on about 6,000 yuan per month of sick return wages to survive." ”
"What I need to explain to you is that my current situation is caused by illness, not by injuries in training matches, and if the latter is caused by injuries, the country is a package to the end, and vice versa, it is my personal burden."
Previously, the General Administration of Sport's Management Center, the Zhejiang Sports Vocational and Technical College where Zheng Liang worked, and the relevant management departments in Hangzhou have all provided Zheng Liang with financial assistance and other aspects.
In addition, the public welfare foundation established by the former mentor Wang Jiawei and the Olympic champion Gao Min and the fund of the female ranking general Hui Ruoqi have also raised donations to Zheng Liang. In addition, Zheng Liang's brother and the Chinese basketball celebrity Zheng Wu's family also helped Zheng Liang a lot.
Zheng Liang is very grateful for the help of the outside world, "In the end, there are many good people and warm-hearted people." But even so, he wants to do as much as he can.
Zheng Liang started live broadcasting.
At present, he has opened an account on the online video platform, shared a lot of videos about the positive energy of his life, and at the same time, he is also live streaming on the Internet, sharing his life experience with everyone, and also hopes to increase some income through the way of "live streaming with goods".
"Usually, a lot of difficult brothers and sisters-in-law will help me, but I don't want to bother my brothers and sisters-in-law for a long time." I am also trying to do this (live broadcast) to see if I can do it. ”
"But the income is also a drop in the bucket, the key is that I can't move, there is no special assistant or the like, if there is, it may earn a little more, but there is no way at present."
But even so, Zheng Liang will not give up his efforts, "My efforts are seen by everyone, and it is precisely because of my efforts that everyone will pay attention to me." ”
Just four days after the release of the crowdfunding, as of the surging news reporter's press release, Zheng Liang's fundraising project has received nearly 4,000 people's support, raising nearly 300,000 yuan.
