Dreams in wheelchairs
Zhang Haidi's hometown is Wendeng County. When she was born, she was just nine pounds. Her mother said happily: This is really a "nine-pound old woman". Adults see her healthy, smart and well-behaved, so they call her Lingling. Lingling's parents were literary and art workers at that time, and they had high hopes for their eldest daughter. Although their daughters were born in Quancheng, they love the sea more after all. In the 1950s, there was a famous movie called White Night and a famous song called The Voice of the Nile. Mother said that the "white night" in Moscow and the singing of the Nile River are very charming; The flute sound on the coast of the Bohai Sea in the motherland should also be charming. Let's call our daughter Heidi.
Zhang Haidi had a happy childhood and had his own fantasies like many children. She is happy and lively, skipping all day, and even going down the stairs is dishonest. People saw her jumping and talking and laughing, so they blurted out and called her Lingling. When people watched her concentrate on her work and asked a series of questions about the wonderful world, people appropriately called her "Heidi". There is also a photo of Lingling's home more than 20 years ago, which was taken when Lingling was in kindergarten. The white dress makes her extraordinarily energetic; Two calves stand straight, and the meat nest under the knee is clearly visible. This photo is particularly precious now. Only it records that Heidi once had healthy legs like ordinary people!
When Lingling was five years old, a catastrophic disease befell her. One day, Lingling was rehearsing a program in kindergarten. She sings and dances. Suddenly she felt black at the moment and she fell down. She usually falls down and always gets up quietly. This time, with all her strength, she still couldn't stand up. She was anxious: "Aunt, where is my leg?" Her parents took her to the hospital, and the doctor consulted repeatedly. The doctor took the diagnosis and said regretfully, "The child has got spinal hemangioma, and I am afraid that in the future ..."
It is said that the cause of this disease is accidental. During exercise, a small blood vessel in the spine suddenly burst. Maybe it was just a drop of blood, which turned into a blood clot and blocked the passage of the spinal cord. Due to its compression, the pulsation of the spinal cord is weakened or even completely blocked. At that time, countless doctors hoped to come up with their best technology to make this lively and lovely little girl stand up. However, just as human beings encounter many problems in the process of conquering nature-they have not given up their efforts, but they can only do nothing at present.
Her parents who worked in Jinan carried her around several major hospitals in Jinan, and then went to Wuhan and Beijing for medical treatment several times. The doctor has performed four major operations on her and removed six spinal plates, but the results have no effect. Not only can she not walk, but she basically loses consciousness from the body below the second thoracic vertebra, which means that two-thirds of her body has lost some consciousness and function. She must lean on the armrest of the wheelchair and be supported by her arms to sit still. Mom and dad's heart is as heavy as weight, and they are worried about whether their children can withstand greater tests in the future. Difficult, later life! Where did Lingling take this difficult first step?
Dad bought her a radio, her mother subscribed to Children magazine, and Zheng Xue's sister accompanied her step by step. Many uncles and aunts are reluctant to spend money on toys for their children, but when they visit Lingling, they always try their best to bring her novel gifts. Lingling can't count how many people care, help and take care of her.
Although people warm her heart with infinite care, it is far from making up for the pain caused by paralysis. Watching her friends happily jump rubber bands and go to school with their schoolbags on their backs, Lingling's young and fragile heart was crushed by pain. Lingling heard from the window, "How did I forget to bring my umbrella? Alas, how could I forget my schoolbag! " I feel very sad. She really wants to feel the happiness of going to school with them and the coolness of running in the rain. However, all this is a dream. For Lingling, it can only be a wheelchair dream. One day, Lingling finally couldn't hold back her desire and said to her mother, "Mom, I'm going to school!" " "Just say that finish, I saw my mother turn my back and touch her face with her hands. Lingling thought her mother must have cried. Mom said, "son, mom and dad will let you learn knowledge!" Seeing that Lingling was so eager to go to school and learn knowledge, her mother decided to try her best to satisfy her wish. Lingling can't go to school, so she asks the teacher to teach her. But the family can't afford a full-time teacher, so mom and dad can only teach her in person after work.
Lingling has signed up for school four times since she was seven years old. The first three times, the teacher saw her paralyzed legs and shook her head sadly. She can only lie on the windowsill every day and watch others go to school with envy. /kloc-at the age of 0/0, her father took her to Jason Wu Road Primary School in Jinan for the fourth time. The teacher saw that she was really a smart and enterprising child and made an exception to allow her to enter the exam. It's time to publish the list. Early in the morning, her father carried her to the school gate, and Heidi eagerly searched for her name in the dense red list. "Zhang Haidi", when she found her name, clapped her hands and shouted, "I go to school, I go to school." He asked his father to show her around the campus. This is the classroom and that is the playground. Heidi pointed, not to mention how happy she was. After returning home, her father bought her a small schoolbag and her mother bought her a pair of new shoes. However, I never imagined that the next day, her illness broke out again. When the other children were happy to go to school, their mother carried her on the train to the north and went to Beijing for treatment.
If Heidi goes to school, the school gate will only be open to her for half a day!
When the school couldn't get in, Heidi spread her textbooks on the bed. Usually she lies in bed with stiff waist and legs and straight instep. If the nerves that control the muscles can be relaxed and the lower limbs can flex and stretch slightly, she can sit up. With the help of her parents, she beats her leg muscles and exercises her lower limbs hard every day. Every time the arm is forced, the intercostal nerve hurts like a heart. She swallowed twice the painkiller, but she just gritted her teeth, pressed, touched and hit. Sometimes ask mom for help. Mom is reluctant to push, she is not happy; Mom worked hard and gave her a smiling face with sweat. The stiff legs and feet finally softened. When she can sit against the quilt for a while, or struggle to lie prone on the table with her arms, she is extremely surprised. Lingling will take a big step forward when her disability retreats by one point. "If others can, I can." Sometimes her friends ask her, "Lingling, what do you want to be when you grow up?" She replied, "I want to be a doctor and make every child who can't walk stand up!" " "
Lingling loves studying very much, but intercostal neuralgia caused by surgery always afflicts her petite body. Sometimes, she is really tired and can't even finish her homework, so she says to her mother, "Can I do these homework tomorrow?" Mother solemnly said to Lingling, "I haven't finished what I can do today!" " "After listening to her mother, Lingling understood that learning is her own business and must not be delayed. She told herself in her heart, "I want to finish my homework every day like a child at school!" " "
Although Lingling is determined, her conditions are ruthless. Whenever the disease tortured her, the strong Lingling did not shed tears. When the pain is really severe, in order to distract her attention, she tugged at her braid and planned to replace another pain with one. Gradually, her pulled hair can be braided. How much pain she endured!
For Lingling, home is a special school. In this school, Lingling, who is smart and eager to learn, has learned a lot of knowledge. Of all the classes, Lingling likes learning Chinese best. At the age of 10, she can read novels. Although she studies hard, she is not discouraged. She likes reading The Story of Zoya and Sura very much, but what she got was a book typeset in the old way. Most of the Chinese characters in it are traditional characters, and they are in vertical format. 10-year-old children are particularly difficult to read. She guessed by experience when she met traditional Chinese characters she didn't know. Once, when she read the sentence "My mother took me to Yang Shulin" in a book, she guessed the meaning of several other traditional Chinese characters, but she didn't know what "Yang Shulin" meant.
Lingling thinks that from the word "forest", "poplar" should be a kind of tree, so the word "tree" should be another way to write "tree"; What kind of tree is poplar? It must be a very ordinary tree. So, she began to read all kinds of tree names she knew in her mind. When she silently read "Poplar", her heart lit up: Isn't the writing of "Yang" very similar to the word "Yang"? It seems that "Poplar" is "Poplar"! Lingling was very happy when she thought about it. In this way, in the process of guessing characters, Lingling knew a lot of Chinese characters early and mastered the relevant knowledge.
/kloc-When she was 0/0 years old, her mother gave Lingling a diary with red patent leather. Mother said, "Lingling, you should keep a diary every day!" " "At that time, Lingling didn't know how to keep a diary. At first, she wrote: "I read XXX books today and took medicine today." "These diaries are monotonous and have no feelings. After her mother's enlightenment, Lingling finally understood the secret of keeping a diary, that is, writing out all the important things and feelings every day. Later, Lingling began to write all the warmth of family and friendship into her diary, which exercised her writing ability well. When I grow up, whenever I recall this experience, Zhang Haidi will think that if I didn't keep a diary, I wouldn't grow up to be a writer in the future.
In addition to Chinese, Lingling is also very attentive to other classes and doesn't waste time at all. Throughout her childhood, she studied hard with tenacious will, always treated every word and sentence attentively, taught herself all the courses in primary and secondary schools, and realized her dream of sitting in a wheelchair. In Lingling's own words, she is not ashamed of her childhood or those wonderful times.
Zhang Haidi spent 15 years in that three-story building painted with red paint. The love of parents and friends also makes Zhang Haidi more confident to face the future. If he doesn't keep a diary, he can't grow up to be a writer in the future.
