Top 10 of the National Supermodel Competition, more than 100,000 fans in a month of live broadcasting, and the top 15 of the World Tourism Image Miss...
These achievements are placed on any ordinary person, and it is a shining experience.
And for a girl who has lost her hearing since childhood, it is undoubtedly necessary to pay ten million times more effort than ordinary people.
At the age of 8, he began to enter the special education system to learn to speak, and until the age of 16, he could not communicate with people normally, and now he can do rap and dance.
She was called "the most wonderful Internet celebrity" by the whole network, subverting the concept of countless people, and it turned out that the disabled girl also had a dazzling life.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">01</h1>
Her name is Leona, a post-90s Shanghai girl, because a sudden high fever changed the trajectory of her life.
That year, she was only 1 year old, lost her hearing due to a high fever, and her world was suddenly eerily quiet.
Her mother couldn't accept that she couldn't learn to talk like a normal child, so she sent her to kindergarten. Little Leona became a child who could only "giggle" among her laughing classmates.
Looking very different, she slowly became inferior and unsociable, and her world had no laughter and no sunshine.
When she was 8 years old, her mother had to send her to a special school, where there were many children like her. Watching the children around her dancing and communicating in sign language, she also happily followed the study, thinking that she had found her own world.
What she couldn't understand was that every time she also learned to communicate with children in sign language, her mother would beat her and make sure she opened her mouth to learn to speak.
Talking is as natural to us as breathing and eating, while hearing impaired people have to work a thousand times harder. Because she could not hear and had no concept of sound or sound, she had to imitate the practice countless times.
She needs one hand to press her neck, the other hand to press the neck of a family member or teacher, to imitate pronunciation by feeling the vibration of the throat, and to observe the mouth shape to imitate the mouth shape.
"Every day I have to touch the vocal cords and say ā ǎ à, if I don't practice, I will quickly forget how to make a sound."
It is often said that a point of hard work is a harvest, but Leona can only harvest a star and a half with ten million points of hard work.
Day and night repeated practice, with little success, little Leona suffered a lot, countless times thought about giving up, life is too heavy and powerless for her.
Finally, when she was 8 years old, she said the first complete sentence in her life: "Mom and Dad, I like you!" ”
Since then, challenging all the impossibilities in life has taken root in her little heart. Life has given her hardships, and she wants to return to the wonderful world.
It wasn't until 16 years, with the help of hearing aids, that she was able to barely communicate verbally with people, and despite the effort she had put in a million times, she was still an "alternative" in the crowd.
As an adult, she worked in financial management, she worked hard, but in the eyes of her colleagues she was a disabled person.
At one meeting, because the content made her sound a little difficult, she wanted to ask a colleague next to her to translate it, but was impatiently rejected on the grounds of "you don't need to know".
She vowed to live as a normal person from now on, and what others can do, she will be able to do.

"I'm going to be an actor!"
This sentence stirred up a thousand waves at home, and her parents thought that she was a fool who spoke dreams, could not even speak clearly, and wanted to become an actor, and it was humiliating to say it.
Riona was not convinced, she felt that what others could do, she had no reason not to do, she said:
"The last thing I want to be judged on is this dream, and I am very dissatisfied, I just want to prove it to them." 」
She resolutely resigned to apply for an acting class.
In order not to let her classmates know that she had a hearing impairment, she worked harder and harder to learn to speak, and soon, the original problem of stuttering because of nervousness was also changed.
After two years of hard study and training, she got her performance certificate and also took the stage to participate in drama performances. However, the actor's path did not go far, and after graduation, she could only take some group actors and supporting roles.
In January 2017, she came into contact with the anchor platform by chance, and with the idea of exercising her personal courage, she began to broadcast live.
From then on, Riona finally found her own new world.
Of course, the road to live broadcasting is not smooth, she is stuck in the barrier of talking and communicating in the first place.
Because her speech is flat and she has a "big tongue", she has encountered a lot of sneering, and some people even say that she deliberately learns to speak from foreigners for the sake of fire.
Amid the scoff, she chose silence and persistence, in her words, "I don't believe there's anything I can't do." ”
Finally, you now see the talkative Leona in the live broadcast room, humorous and witty, self-black, self-deprecating and staged in turn, which can be described as a person and a play, and the fans all harvest joy and vitality.
"Deaf and dumb" and "beauty anchors" are almost impossible to link, but Leona has turned it into a living reality.
In order to enrich the live broadcast content, she learned dance, performed sign language songs, tongue twisters, and constantly recharged to learn, whether in fitness, makeup, dressing, work, etc. are exceptional.
She quickly became popular on the Internet, with more than 100,000 fans in the first month of broadcasting, and was recognized on the street.
She finally lived the life that countless people wanted to live.

"I always believe that everyone's impossibility is not my impossibility, and I want to turn the impossible into everything possible!"
Once, Jiang Xinrou, a hearing-impaired girl in the north drift, said this sentence in CCTV's variety show "Challenge the Impossible", and the judges present were moved.
Wang Lihong, one of the judges, said emotionally: I must write a song for you and let you be the heroine of the MV.
A year later, the song "Silent Feelings", which was tailor-made for Jiang Xinrou, was officially released, and Jiang Xinrou entered the public's vision as the heroine of the song MV.
Accompanied by the sound of the piano in the MV, Jiang Xinrou danced in the light and shadow, and the combination of dance posture and singing was perfectly suffocating.
Jiang Xinrou is from the ancient city of Xi'an, and when she was old in August, she was severely deaf in both ears due to illness. Hearing loss in the left ear is 110 dB and in the right ear is 120 dB.
Her dream since she was a child was to become a dancer, but everyone around her told her that it was impossible to dance well without hearing the sound.
There is a saying: "Life is as thin and fragile as a worm's wing, and as tenacious and tenacious as a weed." ”
Jiang Xinrou imitated the perceptual rhythm and dance steps again and again, spilling countless sweat and tears, and she finally stood out in the difficult struggle.
At the age of 18, she passed the college entrance examination and was admitted to the Beijing Dance Academy, becoming the first hearing-impaired undergraduate student at the Beijing Dance Academy.
What is the background of life? It's not the cards that God gives you at the beginning, good or bad, only to be known until the end.
Some people have advantages that many people can't match, but they play a good hand of cards;
Some people, clear-eyed people, believe that he or she has been sentenced to "death", but throw you a king bomb.
I once saw such a fable:
Three frolicking frogs accidentally fell into the milk bucket.
The first frog said, "I was so unlucky that I fell into the milk, no wonder my eyelids jumped this morning." Then it coiled its hind legs and waited motionless for death to come, and soon it was drowned by milk.
The second frog said, "The barrel is so deep that it is impossible for me to jump out with my ability to jump." Death today. It tried to struggle a few times, feeling that everything was in vain, and sank to the bottom of the barrel in despair and drowned.
The third frog looked around and said, "What an unfortunate thing!" But my hind legs are still strong, and if I can find something to pad my feet, I can jump out of this terrible barrel! ”
However, there was only slippery milk in the bucket, there was nothing to support, and although it struggled desperately, it fell into the slimy milk when it stepped on the air.
It had also wanted to give up, lying quietly at the bottom of the barrel like its companions, yet a desire to survive sustained it to jump up again and again...
Slowly, it felt the milk underneath harden—it turned into creamy chunks underneath it stirred desperately. Supported by the cream block, the frog jumped hard and finally jumped out of the milk bucket.
There is no life to lie and win, only to keep tossing and turning to have vitality.
The biggest difference between people is not the starting point, but the pursuit and attachment to life.
Opportunity is always left to those who do not bow down to fate, and can persist in walking through the darkest moments of life to usher in life.

The anchor road of "deaf" girl Riona continues, and her life has more "possibilities" because of perseverance and kindness.
Her desire now is:
I hope that the world of sound and the world of silence can be integrated into one world, and I hope that more people with hearing impairments can draw strength from my live broadcast and challenge what the public believes is "impossible." ”
Such a full of vitality of the girl, let us feel the wonderful life, in her smile, even if there is a loss will instantly find the direction.
We who have more "possibilities" than her will have more power to grasp life.
There is a sentence in the famous novel "Red Medaka":
Red medaka is red medaka, and no matter how hard you try, you can't become a goldfish. But that's okay, just take action and turn yourself into a good red medaka.
Not everyone has to live to be a hero in the minds of others to live this life, and trying to bloom in their own world is wonderful enough.
Turn the seemingly impossible in life into everything possible, and live your best self.
Looking back at the place where you have always been depressed, returning, there is no wind and rain and no sunshine, may you meet the wind and rain and bloom, walk through the years and sing, and have no regrets in your life.
