1978 Shortly after the downfall of the Gang of Four, the 27-year-old Shaanxi educated youth Sun was misjudged as a "pernicious" and put in a cave in the prefectural compound. He is very ill, and he has to sweep the yard every morning for reeducation through labor, and he has to be examined by the task force in the afternoon.

Sun was desperate to the extreme and once wanted to commit suicide. What he never expected was that in Beijing, more than 0/000 kilometers away from/kloc-0, there was a young man his age who sat in a wheelchair and staggered around Beijing every day, begging for help. The wheelchair will rotate every 5 kilometers 1500 times. When you hit the stairs, you have to walk around, so at the end of the day, you run more roads than a long-distance runner.

In order to save his grandson, he walked countless difficult roads and suffered numerous cold eyes and rejections. Later, he wrote a letter, contacted the place where Sun cut in line, mobilized the farmers in the village to sign and make a "ten thousand fold" according to their handprints, and then wrote to Ann.

The next year, he was finally "fished" back to Beijing by Sun. The friend who brought him back is called Shi Tiesheng.

Many people have read the middle school text "Ditan and I" and saw the young Shi Tiesheng who suffered from fate, complained about the injustice of the world and even lost his temper with his mother. But no one has seen Shi Tiesheng who does everything for his friends. I have never met Shi Tiesheng. He was put in a wheelchair by fate, but he stood proudly in spirit.

If you feel lucky in life, then you should study Shi Tiesheng. If you think life is full of misfortune, then you must read Shi Tiesheng!

195165438+1October 4th, Shi Tiesheng was born in Beijing. He is an excellent student in the middle school affiliated to Tsinghua University. He is especially good at sports, especially the 80-meter hurdles. He ran and swayed with his feet open, just like a bison just coming out of the Colosseum. As long as you participate in the competition, Yi Chong is the first.

18 years old, Shi Tiesheng went to Guanjiazhuang in northern Shaanxi to jump the queue. Living in a cave, in winter in northern Shaanxi, the cave is as cold as an ice cave. Shi Tiesheng wrapped his head in a coat and curled up his body, leaving only his mouth to breathe constantly, so as to survive the long cold night. When it rains and snows, I get into the cowshed, which is full of feces and urine, and there is no place to take a nap.

At the age of 20, Shi Tiesheng was herding cattle in the mountains. He was caught in heavy rain and hail, and there was nowhere to hide. On the gully-crisscross Loess Plateau, only Shi Tiesheng and an old cow were left in the rainstorm. The rain stopped and when he got home, Shi Tiesheng had a high fever and was very ill. He thought he was strong, so he carried it. As a result, fate played a huge joke on him. A year later, his lower limbs were completely paralyzed, and he became a wheelchair from the champion of the 80-meter hurdles.

Since then, Shi Tiesheng's life has been summarized in one sentence: his main business is to get sick and write something in his spare time. He said, "I am disabled, but I am not disabled."

After paralysis, Shi Tiesheng was looking for a job while writing. After work, I go to work in a street factory in a wheelchair every day. Painting on antique furniture earns more than ten yuan a month to supplement the family, and it takes seven years at a time.

In his early years, he lived in the innermost part of a compound in Qianyongkang Hutong, Beijing. From the courtyard gate to the home, the wheelchair has to walk through dozens of meters of bumpy dirt roads. If he is not careful, the wheelchair will roll over. When the wheelchair turned over, Shi Tiesheng didn't like shouting, so he sat on the ground to hold the wheelchair first, and then propped himself up with his arms.

His cabin is only six or seven square meters. Apart from the bed and desk, there is only enough room for the wheelchair to turn a small corner. Friends often visit him in such a small place. In the eyes of many people, Shi Tiesheng's life has fallen into a trough, and he should become silent, autistic and desperate.

But when these friends saw Shi Tiesheng, they were all amazed. Instead of giving up on himself, Shi Tiesheng was extremely cheerful and gushing. As long as there are interesting things and delicious things, he is obsessed with them.

From literature to sports, from sports to tourism, talk about everything. I especially like talking about food, so it's interesting to talk about food:

"Mutton or NiuJie good! Sauced beef is still in the tunnel of Baizhifang! " Even the Li sesame seed cake in Huimin Township is well known to him.

After illness, Shi Tiesheng's appetite has not diminished, especially for meat. He happened to be a tiger, so his friends laughed at him and people nicknamed him "carnivore".

The writer Wang Anyi went to see him for the first time, thinking that Shi Tiesheng would tell his tragic life and felt that his fate was impermanent. As a result, Shi Tiesheng and he talked about jiaozi from beginning to end. Wang Anyi said that Shi Tiesheng's optimism and frankness made us healthy people feel ashamed.

On another occasion, several friends went to see him and caught up with the dinner. Shi Tiesheng took them and said, "Don't go, I'll cook for you." People didn't want to give him any trouble, but he sat in a wheelchair, rolled up his sleeves and started cooking. While cooking, I talked and laughed with everyone. While eating, some friends burst into tears.

Life is like this, the real strong will not die heroically because of something, but will live happily and seriously because of something.

Disability is a fatal blow to a person, but Shi Tiesheng's suffering fate has just begun.

At the end of 1980, the paralyzed Shi Tiesheng suffered from kidney disease again, and even normal urination became a problem. From then on, he can only insert a catheter and carry a urinal all his life, and his body always smells like urine.

He can't go far with a urinal. He doesn't want to cause trouble to his family. He spends most of his time alone in the nearby Ditan, reading or writing there, and staying there most of the day. Go home on time in the afternoon, and his father will give him soy milk, cook some noodles or buy some steamed buns, cook them with salt water and put them on the fire. He always eats with a stuffy head.

Live well or die at once. Shi Tiesheng only has these two choices. He had ten thousand reasons to choose to die, but he chose to take it in stride and avenge the humiliation of his fate.

He wrote in "Ditan and I":

Death is something you don't have to worry about.

It's something you can't miss no matter how delayed.

A festival that is destined to come.

Fate can always destroy all shiny skins, but it can't kill a strong soul. Up to now, many people still say that you can go to Beijing without going to the Great Wall or the Ming Tombs, but you must go to Ditan.

A girl named Chen Ximi liked Shi Tiesheng's articles, so she wrote to him.

Chen Ximi is younger than Shi Tiesheng 10 years old and graduated from Northwest University. After writing hundreds of letters with Shi Tiesheng, they first met in a low bungalow near the Yonghe Palace. The first thing Shi Tiesheng said to Chen Ximi was:

"You are exactly what I imagined."

1989, Shi Tiesheng married Chen Ximi. From then on, Chen Ximi became Shi Tiesheng's leg, and they sympathized with each other. Although life is poor and hard, they live a colorful life.

Chen Ximi pushed Shi Tiesheng to the movies and found a small restaurant that Shi Tiesheng loved to eat. Shi Tiesheng read When You Are Old by Irish poet Ye Zhi in Chen Ximi. They read a book, and Shi Tiesheng read faster. Chen Ximi let him talk, and he deliberately kept a suspense: "Then I will tell you if you make me a Zhajiang Noodles."

Their life is really happy, not the kind of happiness that others see.

Shi Tiesheng wrote a love poem to Chen Ximi: "You don't understand expectations until night, and you don't see through the fence until day."

Chen Ximi said, "I am Tiesheng's wife, so I want to be a better Chen Ximi."

Love is actually a peaceful meeting. When we meet, we meet another self. Two people stand side by side on the same side of the world, and then go forward together.

But fate is never fair.

When Shi Tiesheng just got a happy love, fate gave him a heavy blow. His kidney disease became more and more serious, and finally it deteriorated into uremia, and his kidney was as dry as a walnut.

In a week, Shi Tiesheng spent three days in the hospital for dialysis. He was lying in a hospital bed, watching the deep red blood being filtered, recovered and filtered during cardiopulmonary bypass, and the blood was circulated back to the body again. Every dialysis for four and a half hours, he watches for four and a half hours.

This kind of daily life lasted for 12 years, and finally the arteries and veins expanded into earthworms.

He said optimistically in the interview:

In fact, 18 years ago, the doctor told me that I would have dialysis one day, so I was very lucky, because the dialysis level at that time was far worse than now, and fate has always been very good to me.

Xu, editor-in-chief of the magazine, went to interview him, saying that Shi Tiesheng loves to laugh too much, and his small eyes behind the black box narrowed into a crack, sometimes revealing a bit of childlike cunning. Xu Liangqing tentatively asked him, will his condition improve? Shi Tiesheng replied, "One day, I will die on that day."

Say that finish, he burst out laughing.

He also quipped:

My body is an airplane and my legs are landing gears. Both kidneys are engines that fail together. I, captain, will be out soon. Please leave some last words for all departments of the body.

Shi Tiesheng lived in three hospitals, namely Beijing Friendship Hospital, Chaoyang District Hospital and Xuanwu District Hospital. The hospital with the longest stay is Friendship Hospital, 12 ward. He lived in 65,438+00 wards. Finally, it became the "dialysis mode" of the hospital. The nurse who knew him well said to him, "Your name is really right. Your life is harder than iron. "

His attending doctor is used to being born, sick and dead, but he has to refuse to accept it in front of Shi Tiesheng, sighing: "After Shi Tiesheng, talking about life is luxury, and talking about death is melodramatic."

Shi Tiesheng gave his illness to the doctor, his fate to God, and his happiness and courage to himself.

According to the tradition in China, people should be buried after death. Shi Tiesheng doesn't think so. He made a will long ago. "As long as I have one thing on me, I will stay."

On the morning of 20 10 12 3 1, Shi Tiesheng died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage at the age of 59. Chen Ximi donated the only intact liver and cornea of Shi Tiesheng's body. Shi Tiesheng said: I hope the new owner of the organ can help me continue to see this beautiful world.

Four days later, Shi Tiesheng's liver was successfully transplanted to a patient with liver disease in Tianjin.

This day is Shi Tiesheng's 60th birthday. In Beijing 798 Space Gallery, hundreds of people celebrated Shi Tiesheng's birthday and remembered him.

No sadness, no wreath, no elegy, only a weeping face. Sixty red candles are in a circle, and a greeting card is pinned to the red rose, which reads:

"Tiesheng, happy birthday!" "Go all the way!"

Live with dignity and die with dignity. Shi Tiesheng has been in a wheelchair all his life, but his soul is taller and longer than many people standing.

Chen Ximi and Shi Tiesheng have been in love for 2 1 year, and they will continue to love each other forever.

After Shi Tiesheng left, Chen Ximi always took his ashes with him. When Shi Tiesheng was in a wheelchair, he often told her that he missed the feeling of taking the train. She got on the train with Shi Tiesheng's ashes and drove all the way to the south.

On 20 12, Chen Ximi will go to Germany. When Shi Tiesheng was alive, he told Chen Ximi that he liked German. This time, Chen Ximi found a small wooden box sent by Wang Anyi, put Shi Tiesheng's ashes in a close-fitting pocket and took him to Germany.

In a small German town called Rotenberg, Chen Ximi stopped for a long time in the open square in the center of the town. At this moment, she felt Shi Tiesheng again, still wearing the blue trench coat, sitting in an electric wheelchair, beside her, looking up. ...

Chen Ximi also bought a cuckoo cuckoo clock and said, "I want to hang it at home and listen to its hovering sound, as if it were a greeting from another world."

You bury your bones under the mud spring, and I send snow all over the world. Love as always, I will hug you in the ashes.

Chen Ximi looked at the photo of Shi Tiesheng, and the most common sentence was: Don't forget that you said you would marry me in your next life.

Chen Ximi said in the book: Thanks to the current ps technology, Shi Tiesheng and I have been "childhood friends".

Shi Tiesheng said before his death: I am often grateful for fate. A person's life is like this string, you can only play it well if you tighten it, and it is enough to play it well. I tried my best, so I have no regrets.

Life never lies in length, but in width. Everyone is a book, life is the cover and death is the back cover. Although we can't change the things before and after the cover, we are free to write the stories in the book.

Reading Shi Tiesheng, the wider your experience, the more you understand his broad-mindedness. The more setbacks, the more I understand his strength. The deeper the suffering, the more I understand his optimism.

If you feel unlucky in life, it's only because you haven't read Shi Tiesheng. After all kinds of life, I can understand his words, even the punctuation is vivid and moving.

Today, Ditan is still there. The boy who was in Ditan yesterday has become a legend.

When he was young, Shi Tiesheng seldom saw a smile in his photos, but he was young and stubborn. On the contrary, after middle age, he smiled brightly in every photo, as if suffering had never befallen him. As the writer He Liwei said, "Shi Tiesheng is like a Buddha, knowing life and death, wealth and all desires."

During his boating years, Shi Tiesheng wrote 20 short stories, 6 novellas, 2 novels, 18 essays and 2 screenplays.

Reality is cruel and life is hard, but you can try to make them soft with a smile.

Although Shi Tiesheng has gone far away, he has already turned into a star in the sky, illuminating the road on earth.

Smart people can recognize the truth of life, and they still love it after recognizing the truth of life. This is the value of life.

Everyone's life, even if they don't walk in the plateau desert, should also have a broad mind.
