"Slow down, stop and rest when you're tired." On August 23, in a residential building alley on Xingmin Street in Nanjin Road, 14-year-old twin brothers Ming Ming and Liang Liang repeatedly practiced walking as usual. Although the two brothers did not walk fast, their steps were somewhat staggered, but their steps were strong. 70-year-old grandmother Wu Wenhua followed behind and kept telling. Looking at his grandson's back, Wu Wenhua moistened his eyes several times.
"My two grandchildren were premature babies, and shortly after they were born, they were diagnosed with cerebral palsy by doctors, and the whole family was almost desperate at that time, and they didn't expect the two dolls to walk independently." Speaking of his grandson's road to recovery, Wu Wenhua's tears came out of his eyes again, and his words were full of gratitude, and he also told the hardships and difficulties of the road to recovery.
A bolt from the blue
The twins were diagnosed with cerebral palsy
Time back to 2007. Bright and bright and chubby when I was born. When the whole family was immersed in joy, the doctor's words were like thunderbolts on a sunny day, making the family almost collapse. "Cerebral palsy!"
The sudden bad news made the two couples who had just been parents fall into the abyss, thinking that they would need a large amount of medical expenses in the future, the family cried and swollen their eyes, and cried dumb, but they could not escape the reality that the two dolls were sick.
The cost of follow-up treatment has made it worse for families who are not rich. In order to treat the child's illness, parents can only leave the hometown to work to earn money, and the elderly grandparents who should have enjoyed their old age also shoulder the burden of the family, while taking care of the children, while finding a little odd work to increase the family income. But in the face of high health care expenses, these revenues are still in the limelight.
"In order to treat the doll," the family's savings have been spent and they still owe foreign debt." Wu Wenhua recalled that in the first two years, the family took their children around to seek medical treatment, went to many places for rehabilitation, and every time they went to a hospital, they were worried, helpless, and looking forward to it, praying, hoping to hear which doctor told them that there was still room for treatment for the child's condition.
Perhaps it is the emergency of the disease, so the results have been very little. "The doll can't stand still at the age of three, and can only crawl on the ground and watch the real evil." Speaking of those past, Wu Wenhua inadvertently burst into tears.

The District Disabled Persons' Federation provided rehabilitation assistance for him
The huge economic pressure overwhelmed the family, and just when the family was about to give up, the Chuanshan District Disabled Persons' Federation brought hope to their family. In 2010, Liu Jufang, a staff member of the District Disabled Persons' Federation, learned about their family's situation through visits and began to actively help them with rehabilitation and treatment.
That year, when she first visited Mingming and Liangliang's home, despite her inner preparations, Liu Jufang was still touched by the scene in front of her, the two children could only crawl on the ground at the age of three, and the family was already destitute because of the cost of medical treatment, and the grandparents could only secretly wipe tears behind their backs.
Afterwards, Liu Jufang immediately reported the situation to the leaders of the unit, promptly formulated a help plan and assistance plan for Mingming and Liangliang, applied for a rehabilitation and help project for children with cerebral palsy from poor families, and arranged for them to go to the Bayi Rehabilitation Center in Sichuan Province for free physical assessment.
Fortunately, through expert assessment, Mingming and Liangliang are both mild cerebral palsy patients, intellectually and other functions are very healthy, and the two brothers have the opportunity to walk independently through rehabilitation training. Hearing this news, the Wu Wenhua family ignited hope for life, and they were determined to let their children try it.
Surgery, limb massage, acupuncture, upper limb exercises, assistive device training... This rehabilitation lasted for 6 years. During this period, the District Disabled Persons' Federation also matched them with wheelchairs, orthoses, walkers and other assistive devices. According to statistics, the District Disabled Persons' Federation has successively applied for more than 100,000 yuan for assistance and disability assistance to Mingming and Liangliang.
From 2010 to 2016, the staff of the Ship Mountain Disabled Persons' Federation changed from batch to batch, but the support work was never interrupted. They develop a deep relationship with their children. Li Xiaohua, another staff member of the Chuanshan Disabled Persons' Federation, often pays out of his own pocket to buy daily necessities for his two children. Every year, chuanshan disabled persons' federation organizes Mingming and Liangliang to regularly go to designated medical institutions such as Sichuan Bayi Rehabilitation Center and Municipal Rehabilitation Center for centralized rehabilitation training.
Miracles happen
From 3 years old standing unsteadily to walking independently
The road to recovery is long, only persistence. The policies of the state, the services of the department, the treatment of doctors, and the companionship and encouragement of family members have made Mingming and Liangliang see hope.
After years of rehabilitation, slowly, miracles appeared, and the two brothers were able to stand, and even to walk...
Although they can't run like normal children, they can carry their school bags and walk into the classroom, go to primary school with normal children, and can follow the class and actively integrate into society. For them, this has created a miracle of life. In order to help the students realize their dreams, the Chuanshan District Disabled Persons' Federation also applied for a scholarship for disabled students for MingMing and Liangliang.
"I really appreciate the help of the Chuanshan District Disabled Persons' Federation to our family and solve our worries on the road to recovery. I hope that through our stories, more families with cerebral palsy can see hope, regain the courage of life, and persevere to have miracles. Speaking of the happy life now, Wu Wenhua said gratefully.
At present, the two brothers have both been admitted to the national demonstration high school and have good results. For the future life, they have different goals to pursue. "I hope to become a designer in the future." When it comes to the future, his younger brother Liang liang has his own dreams. "I hope to get into college through hard work." The brother said with a clear and firm look.
