Tall and thin figure, a neat ponytail, 10-year-old Xu Zixuan's white face hung a smile. Looks healthy and sunny, no different from a child of this age.
Xu Zixuan, who is in the second grade of Chengdu Beixin Experimental Primary School, is a small "red person" in the school. Suffering from severe autism, this "Star Girl" is not only a role model and playmate for many of her classmates, but also a well-known singer and rider in the class. In April this year, as the youngest athlete in the Chinese sports delegation, she went to Austria to participate in the figure skating event of the Winter Special Olympics, and achieved a good result of second in the prescribed action and seventh overall result.
Learn to walk by skating at the Winter Special Olympics
Seeing the child spinning and jumping on the ice, Xu Zixuan's mother, Lan Xiaoxia, cried with joy, "Because of the disease, her daughter could not walk at the age of 2 and a half, and at that time she could only rely on running to maintain her body balance, and often fell." In order to help her daughter learn to walk, 3 years ago, Lan Xiaoxia let Zixuan touch the real ice," I didn't expect her to stick to it as soon as she touched it. ”
In September last year, through layers of selection, Xu Zixuan, as one of the eight national figure skating candidates in the province, went to Harbin for training. At the beginning, Lan Xiaoxia always accompanied her daughter, "The coach asked to hike from the dormitory to the training place in order to exercise the child's physical strength and balance. More than minus 20 degrees Celsius, Zi Xuan has to wear bulky snow boots, carry 5 kilograms of skating equipment in the ice and snow for half an hour, four times a day. Due to her young age, Xu Zixuan often could not keep up with the big team and had to walk fast or even trot.
"A movement, a normal child can learn it twice, Xu Zixuan may have to practice it hundreds of times." Training coach Chen Hao was impressed by the little girl's persistence. He recalled that on the third day of the closed training in the province, Zi Xuan cried for a whole day, her face was crying and swollen, and he had to ask the parents to bring the child back. After coming back the next day, I never saw the girl crying, and every action he taught, Zi Xuan did her best to cooperate, "Until the last day, I felt that the prescribed movements were not perfect." However, she won the second place in the prescribed action in the official competition, which is an extraordinary performance. ”
Love to sing love to ride a horse "star girl" interested
On the first day of school, the class teacher Li Yan only told the whole class that Xu Zixuan in the class was a little timid, and hoped that the classmates would spend more time with her and make her a bold girl. Classmate Xiao Yunhan felt that Zixuan was quite bold, "She likes to sing, singing two sentences of "Legend of the Phoenix" after class, and sometimes dancing. This triumph, the classmates specially gave her a pop music CD.
The "Star Girl", who is seen by ordinary people as a strangler, is a role model for many students in the class. "Xuanxuan has a lot of extracurricular activities to participate in, and she is much busier than us." Student Liao Xinyi broke her fingers and listed: painting, riding horses, dancing... Lan Xiaoxia is also a stone thrower to ask for directions, "The child is not good at expression, can only judge her preferences from the behavior, let her contact more with various interest classes, can stick to it on the basis of liking, I will focus on training." Nowadays, Zi Xuan often laughs on horseback, and at the painting festival, she applies paint to her arms to "engage in creation".
Carry out inclusive education to make special children unspecific
Since its establishment in 2009, There are 5 special children, some of whom have intellectual disabilities or some of whom have physical disabilities. Although for such children, there is a way to "send education to the door" in the district, principal Gong Xuemei believes that the atmosphere of the school is conducive to the integration of special children into the normal environment as soon as possible, so she insists on carrying out inclusive education and let these 5 children attend the class. In this elementary school, where teachers average their age is early 30s, the class teachers who accompany these children are mostly young, unmarried teachers. The child in teacher Hu Shan's class, Hao Hao (pseudonym), has a physical disability and some unclear speech, in order to make the child feel warm, she mobilized her classmates to celebrate his birthday every year. School sports meetings, flag-raising ceremonies, and art performances all have the shadow of these children.
According to a 2014 report by the World Health Organization, the average prevalence of autism is 0.62%, and there are currently more than 10 million autistic patients in China, and the degree of autism, regardless of severity, is often accompanied by life. In Chengdu, more and more ordinary primary schools have opened their doors to accept "children of stars" like Xu Zixuan. "Inclusive education is conducive to helping students identify, accept and tolerate the difference between themselves and others. Students are like a rainbow, colorful is more beautiful. Gong Xuemei said.
