Even if you fall a hundred times, you have to stand up a hundred and one times. --Haidi Zhang
Foreword: The development of the modern network has also changed the lives of many people, especially for some young people, if you ask them about their favorite idols, many times the answer is a star or Internet celebrity. Words such as role models or role models may have no weight in the hearts of contemporary young people, in contrast, in the 80s, many people also had a role model or idol in their hearts, and this person was Zhang Haidi.
She was supposed to have had a happy childhood, but an accident at the age of 5 plunged her childhood into a haze. Because the hemangioma changed her life, she could not run and jump like other children, and could only move in a wheelchair. Such a life is indeed very painful for a small child, but Zhang Haidi's actions in that year really encouraged many people. She chose to start reading and studying, dabbling in different areas of knowledge.
Faced with such an unjust fate, many people will be depressed and completely disappointed in life. But she didn't do that, and in the midst of hardship, she chose to move forward again, and the way she moved forward was to arm herself with knowledge. She first read in bed, and even used mirror reflections to read books in the most difficult periods, even in such a bad situation, she was still constantly learning and enriching herself.
Later, she discovered her amazing language talent, so she learned 4 languages through self-study, and later she translated 16 other national works in these languages, which also made many normal people ashamed of their learning ability and perseverance.
In fact, for a child with physical diseases, she really tried very hard to cure herself, and even when she was 15 years old, because of her parents, she also went to the countryside to live together. It was 1970, and she had made a lot of efforts in the countryside, one of which was that she had studied a lot of acupuncture-related books. In order to better learn acupuncture, she also tried needles on herself every time, which is not the courage that ordinary people can have.
After her unremitting efforts and study, she also used her medical knowledge to help many people, among which the more famous is a paralyzed uncle Geng, she constantly learned medical knowledge, and also studied some books according to the symptoms of Uncle Geng, under her injection and help, Uncle Geng can finally walk and talk. In addition to this incident, during her time in the countryside, she also took the initiative to teach students to sing, and did many things for the sake of others.
In fact, in Zhang Haidi's life, in addition to the sadness brought by the illness, after her deeds were constantly reported, many people also had a skeptical attitude towards her, thinking that she was putting on a show. And she herself has not made any response to such a thing, but continues to do her own thing, she served as the president of the Disabled Persons' Federation, and has made a lot of efforts to help the disabled. And she has been writing tirelessly, conveying some of her ideas better.
Outside of work, she has been doing public welfare and social work. In addition to donating money and materials, he is also constantly making speeches, visiting welfare homes and disability institutions, so that more people in need of help can get the help they deserve. She has been tireless and does not care about the discordant voices of the outside world, which is the power of true example.
To sum up: compared with many glamorous idols now, she is not so dazzling, but what she has done has always been contributing to society and others, winning countless awards, and Zhang Haidi, who has a lot of titles, has indeed influenced many people in those years.
