In my opinion, if you don’t escape reality and dare to take responsibility, everyone can become a strong person who controls your destiny.” Li Jinqi, a 40-year-old man from Northeast China, explains his understanding of life and his feelings about life through the struggle of starting a business.

Li Jinqi suffered a lot as a child. A sudden polio attack at the age of 3 left him almost completely paralyzed. Treatment and exercise that constantly challenged his physical limits allowed him to stand up again, but his right leg still left a lifelong regret. The ridicule and neglect of his peers in school once caused the young Li Jinqi to develop a serious inferiority complex. "I don't even dare to look into the eyes of able-bodied people. Even when I go to and from school, I always choose the less crowded path."

When talking about his entrepreneurial journey, Li Jinqi's tone was more expressive. Somewhat firm. In 1997, the state-owned chemical factory where he worked closed down, and Li Jinqi, who was in his thirties, was laid off. Despite the pressure of family life, he did not feel sorry for himself.

Based on his own understanding of the chemical industry, Li Jinqi locked the company's production direction on polyurethane materials. This material has thermal insulation properties and is widely used in new construction and thermal pipelines and other fields.

At the beginning of his business, Li Jinqi did not fully grasp the polyurethane production process.

Through the analysis of field test data, Li Jinqi mastered the properties of low-temperature foaming of polyurethane, which expanded the application fields of polyurethane. This discovery has been highly recognized by industry experts, and companies have gradually reaped rewards. Currently, Li Jinqi operates several large-scale chemical companies in Harbin, Shanghai, Jiamusi and other places. Xinsheng Chemical, the first company founded, has grown from an annual output value of several million yuan to an annual output value of tens of millions yuan.

Li Jinqi succeeded. But Li Jinqi, who often forgets that he is a disabled person, never forgets to care about his disabled friends around him. He regards it as his unshirkable responsibility to help them embark on the path of independence and self-reliance.

He donated money to build a primary school in a poor area of ??Jiamusi, renovated a new house and sent color TVs and refrigerators to a disabled family in rural Ningxia, and funded many disabled college students to complete their studies. Since 2003, he has subscribed newspapers and periodicals to more than 30 poor disabled people every year.

2. An inspirational story about the disabled

A particularly fragrant apple

He was born a dwarf, only 100 centimeters tall.

On December 28, 1962, he was born in a small town in southern France. His arrival not only did not bring joy to the family, but instead cast a shadow on his parents' hearts. The family was full of worries about his future. Because he suffers from the rare "osteogenesis imperfecta", the calcium in this patient's body cannot be fixed on the bones, so the bones are as fragile as glass, which is commonly known as "glass dolls".

His father was good at guitar and electronic organ. Influenced by his family, he showed a strong interest in music when he was very young. When he was 7 years old, he watched a piano concert on TV and was so fascinated that he asked his father that he also wanted a piano, and his father fulfilled his request.

However, it is not easy for a person with weak hands and feet to learn piano. Every time he had to rely on someone else to hold him up and down the piano seat. Once, his father just put him on the seat and went out temporarily for something. He accidentally fell off the seat and his foot was broken.

His father, who felt sorry for him, suggested that he learn something else, but he disagreed, so he decided on piano. In desperation, his father came up with a way to install a special auxiliary device on the piano to make it easier for his feet to move the piano pedals.

Even so, unexpected situations often occurred during his piano practice, so he often traveled back and forth between the hospital and home. But he ignored it and practiced the piano almost crazily with tenacious perseverance. This practice lasted for five years.

When he was thirteen years old, by chance, his father learned that a theater troupe was in urgent need of recruiting a clown and supporting actor. He felt that he was very suitable, so he sent him there. There was a trumpet player named Brunet in the troupe. After working with him several times, he discovered that he had a special understanding of the piano, so he recommended him to the percussionist Lomano for intensive training. Under the careful training of two musicians, he released his first album "Flash" at the age of 15. The beautiful music shocked people's hearts and caused a sensation in the French music industry, making him a "superstar" overnight.

When he performed in public for the first time, he stood in front of the stage closest to the audience for a full three minutes. Finally, he asked with a smile: "Have you seen enough?" After the audience laughed knowingly, he started to perform. After listening to his performance, the audience was shocked by his music. There was a brief silence at first, and then thunderous applause broke out.

Afterwards, someone asked him why he stood for three minutes first. He said: "Many people came because they were curious about my figure. I first let them see enough before they would listen carefully to my performance. Only then can you see the height of my soul."

In the magical world of music, he forgot the pain caused by his missing limbs and became energetic and high-spirited. Still not satisfied with his achievements, he insisted on increasing his practice time to 11 hours a day and performed more than 180 solo concerts every year. Sometimes, the overload of training even broke his finger bones, and he did not hesitate. His piano playing got better and better, and his fame grew. In 1987, he released another album "Music", which became a decisive turning point in his music journey and made him a piano master. He has toured music cities such as New York, Milan, Tokyo, and Paris. Everywhere he went, there was praise. At this time, everyone was no longer curious about his strange figure, but looked up at the "height" of his soul with admiration.

However, no matter how great a person is, there are ups and downs. After the publication of "Music", his career began to decline. He once even fainted on the steps of a bar because of his anxiety. After regaining consciousness, he said: "My bones are so fragile, but this time there are no injuries at all. I told myself: The time has not come yet, God does not want me to die yet."

Optimistic and positive His mentality makes him still full of confidence in the future and insists on practicing piano for more than 11 hours every day. Sure enough, not long after, his career ushered in a glorious moment. Not only did he sign a contract with a new record company, but he also released better and more popular records. In particular, the sales of the album he collaborated with, another French jazz musician, Grabetti, exceeded 100,000.

Someone once asked him the secret of success. He quoted a philosopher as saying: "Everyone in the world is an apple that has been bitten by God. Excellent and defective coexist. Some people have greater defects, that is God is particularly fond of its fragrance, and I am that particularly fragrant apple.” In January 1999, he died of pneumonia in New York at the age of 36. His last words to the world were. : "If I'm really tall, it's because I'm short!"

He is France's Petrucciani, the dwarf with the best piano in the world, a positive person who dares to accept the challenges of fate and overcome his physical condition. Despite the huge obstacles, the disabled people play the most beautiful music in the world. Although he is short in stature, the height of his soul is enough for the world to look up to him.

With only his left foot, he still writes the wonderful story of life

He grew up in Dublin, Ireland, and had four limbs when he was born Able, but severely paralyzed, rendering him unable to move. He suffered from very severe cerebral palsy, could not speak accurately, and could only move his left foot. When he was 7 years old, he was in a wheelchair and went to the park to play with his family. Several children were competing in drawing, and he stared at them with envy, shouting "ahhhh" and refusing to leave. A child seemed to understand what he meant, and laughed loudly: "You can't even speak clearly, and I'm sorry you can't draw anything good! Don't disturb us!"

He said sadly After leaving and returning home, in order to let his sister understand what he meant, he grabbed a piece of chalk from her with his left foot and tried to draw, but he couldn't draw well. His sister stayed with him and encouraged him: "I believe you can draw well. God has only temporarily disarmed you so that you cannot draw like other children, but as long as you are willing to spend time and practice, you will definitely be able to draw wonderfully." As long as you dare to dream, you can do anything.” As he grew up, he always learned to draw and write with his left foot. His family firmly believes that he has no intellectual disability, but is unable to communicate with others. Determined to let him live as normal a life as possible, his family put him in a stroller and dragged him around to let him know more about the outside world. His left foot became more and more flexible, and he actually learned to swim. At home, he always concentrated on practicing painting and also began to learn to write. His toes were often scraped, but he endured the pain and continued to practice; many of the manuscripts he wrote were rejected, but he did not lose heart. He progressed from one failure to another, but his enthusiasm remained undiminished.

He told himself to hold on for one more day, one week, one month, one more year. Slowly, he found that he had great enthusiasm again. When his paintings won awards in the city and his debut work "My Left Foot" was published after many revisions, he felt that his horizons were opened. It turned out that life is full of possibilities. He believed that there would be better days ahead. .

He tasted the joy of writing and painting, and he never stopped. Although he struggled very hard every time he painted a picture or wrote an article, his feet were bruised with blood blisters, and he often received rejections, he never gave up and embraced every opportunity.

His mother, with the help of a doctor, sent him to Johns Hopkins Hospital, where he received excellent treatment. He had special respect for this remarkable doctor, who later not only founded a hospital for him and other people with cerebral palsy, but also introduced him to the literary world. He was greatly inspired by several well-known Irish writers who encouraged him to write. At the age of 27, he spent a lot of effort writing the novel "Those Low Times". What is exciting is that the novel topped the best-selling novel list as soon as it was published, and was adapted into a movie starring Daniel Day-Lewis, who also won the Academy Award for the Best Actor for the film. He later published six more books and was an active painter.

His name is Christian Brown. Many people were surprised to hear that he, who could only move his left foot and could only make a few sounds, became a well-known writer, poet and painter. Christie wrote in his diary: "Just like my sister once taught me, as long as you work hard, there is nothing you can't do! In the wind and rain, you must be brave and determined; in the darkness, you must grit your teeth and move forward; In the desert, your heart should be filled with oasis. As long as you endure the pain and never give up, children in wheelchairs should try everything! Inspirational stories for people with disabilities
