A story about the struggle of a paralytic disabled person

Get on the international podium

At 8 am on August 13, 2000, the international stadium in Prague, Czech capital, was packed, and the fifth international vocational skills competition for the disabled began. More than 800 athletes from 54 countries are nervously participating in three-day international competitions in 34 events. Hongsheng Wu and 28 other China players also took part in the competition.

In the women's clothing production group, Hongsheng Wu is the only male among nearly 100 contestants. The judges asked the contestants to design and make a blouse within three hours. Many contestants failed to finish it on time, but it only took him 2 hours and 20 minutes to finish it. His works have won unanimous recognition from the judges of the competition for their novel style and exquisite workmanship, and many foreign senior players are also "OK! Ok! " I'm surprised. Finally, Hongsheng Wu won the gold medal in the competition. When the mayor of Prague hung the gold medal on his chest, there were waves of warm applause in the stadium. Hongsheng Wu's tears wet the gold medal, and he had mixed feelings: "My dream has finally come true! This is not only a return to my motherland, my relatives and friends, but also a reflection of my life value. A Korean reporter asked me if I could get tens of thousands of dollars with a gold medal, and I replied,' This medal is my priceless treasure and cannot be measured by money.' " At the moment of success, there were applause and flowers everywhere, but who knows the sweat and tears hidden behind?

Happy childhood of unfortunate children

1962, Hongsheng Wu was born in an ordinary peasant family in Wu Jia Village, Zhaili Town, Qixia City, Shandong Province, ranking fifth. He was naive and lively since he was a child and was very popular with his family. Unexpectedly, at the age of 3, he suffered from polio, numbness in his limbs and incontinence. His parents took him everywhere for medical advice, and Xiao Hongsheng lay in pain for five years. At the age of eight, his condition suddenly improved: his hands could move, he felt his urine and his paralyzed legs could move. Hongsheng Wu said, I will never forget the scene: his mother held him in her arms, his voice was painful, and tears flowed freely on his face. After his illness improved, Xiao Hongsheng pestered his parents to go to school. At first, it was his brother and sister who carried him to school. Soon, Xiao Hongsheng, who was smart and eager to learn, won the love of teachers and students. Gradually, teachers and classmates took turns carrying him to school.

Later, Wu Ke Ping and Wu Keyong, among the students, took the initiative to take the shuttle bus. In summer, under the scorching sun, children like to wear red vests, but Hongsheng Wu and his two friends always wear one more, because it takes a long time to carry it every day, and there is always a hole and a broken chest in the back and quilt. In winter, the cold wind covered with snow, and the two children hobbled with each other's backs. One snowy morning, Wu Keping went to school with Hong Sheng on his back, and accidentally slipped into a snow ditch 1 m deep on the side of the road. The snow by the ditch melted and froze, so they couldn't climb up. They struggled in the snow for half an hour and were finally rescued by a passing uncle. The care and love of teachers and classmates for Hong Sheng made him feel the beauty of life and understand the truth of life. In this way, on the backs of teachers and students, Xiao Hongsheng completed the primary and junior high school courses.

Go there, one day in advance.

1978, Hongsheng Wu was admitted to a key high school with the excellent result of the fifth place in the county-wide unified examination, but was ruthlessly brushed off during the physical examination. Watching the students who live together day and night enter high school, and he can only be alone, Hongsheng holds his mother's leg in one hand and beats the bed in the other, crying and saying, "Mom, I want to go to school, I want to study ..." My mother is heartbroken, but she can only secretly wipe her tears. The villagers also talked about it in succession: "The little cripple can't catch (can't catch) learning!" The word "little cripple" lashed Hong Sheng like a whip, and the faint bell of "Party Party" stung his heart like a needle. Hongsheng Wu realized that disability would bring him a terrible life, and pain, loss and despair hung over him.

One day, Hong Sheng took advantage of his family's absence, propped up the bench, and moved to the house where his father kept the pesticides of the production team, trying to drink medicine to commit suicide. Looking at the pesticide in front of him, he couldn't help but burst into tears. Just as he opened the medicine bottle, the students carried him to school in the wind and rain, sweat and tears. "People didn't take pains to take care of me, but what they got was my suicide?" "No, never! I want to overcome my fate and realize my value with my own hands! " He dried his tears and put the medicine bottle back.

In order to stand on his own feet, Hong Sheng began to learn to repair clocks. Two months later, he took apart two clocks at home, but they could not be assembled. After losing patience, he was completely desperate, and the shadow of death once again occupied Hongsheng's mind. He chose to jump into a well to commit suicide. However, just after he climbed to the wellhead several times, his family found him and stopped him.

Fortunately, Hongsheng Wu has a mentor who always cares and takes care of him. Teachers and classmates brought him books and newspapers, such as "Give Everything to the Party" and "The Story of Zoya and Shula". One of Hong Sheng's favorite books is the autobiographical novel How Steel was Tempered, which was given to him by his partner Wu Keping. Pavel Colta King, the hero, experienced the baptism of war and the touching story of life and death, which deeply touched him. "Life is the most precious thing for people, and life is given only once. A person's life should be spent like this: when you look back, you won't regret wasting your time, and you won't be ashamed of doing nothing. " When Hong Sheng saw this passage, he couldn't help feeling ashamed of his past. He neatly copied this passage and posted it on the bedside to encourage himself to keep forging ahead.

Seeing that Hongsheng likes painting, his father bought him a set of clothing teaching materials. He practiced while studying. At first, he copied and cut in the newspaper. Later, the old clothes at home became his experiment. Without the teacher's guidance, he cut it himself according to the size in the book; He couldn't stand, so he sat on the bench and leaned against the edge of the kang to cut ... Four months later, with the help of his sister, he used the kang as a cutting table, the door as an ironing board, and the enamel jar as an iron, and began to make clothes for relatives and friends for free. Hongsheng promised: no money to work hard and no compensation. He forced himself to make every dress well, because once it was broken, he could not pay it back at all. Gradually, he became a famous tailor in Shili Baxiang. 1979, working as a technician in the village sewing group. Because of his faithfulness, excellent skills and willingness to endure hardships, during the period from 1982 to 1996, Hongsheng was successively employed as the factory director and manager by the clothing factory of Town Supply and Marketing Cooperative, the clothing factory of County Second Light Industry Bureau and Yantai Jiajia Clothing Co., Ltd.

Hongsheng Wu's spirit of self-respect, self-improvement and self-reliance has won people's admiration and the love of Xu Xiuli, a girl from a neighboring village. They love each other in secret. Secular cynicism and family opposition failed to stop them from falling in love. Soon, they will 1? 68-year-old Xu Xiuli, a dignified, beautiful and healthy girl, became the wife of Hongsheng Wu, whose legs were disabled, which made headlines in the town at that time.

Some people say that there is always a strong woman behind a successful man. Every time he talks about his family, Hongsheng Wu always looks happy and proud: "In my eyes, my wife Xu Xiuli is the greatest, most beautiful and most lovely person in the world. Without her support, there would be no success for me today. "

1996 with the encouragement and support of the local government and his wife, Hongsheng Wu resigned as the manager of Jiajia Clothing Co., Ltd. and started his own clothing design center-Monti Clothing Company. After the establishment of the company, Xu Xiuli was the busiest, not Hongsheng. The company should participate in the decision-making process and she should take care of her husband everywhere. Especially when she went upstairs and downstairs, she ran up and down behind his back, always sweating, but never complained. Looking at his wife soaked in sweat, Hongsheng Wu's heart will be filled with an unspeakable passion, which is love and appreciation, relying on it and being more powerful! So he redoubled his efforts and made new achievements. In just four years, she won the first place in the women's clothing production project of Shandong Disabled Persons' Skills Selection Competition and the first place in this kind of project in China, and successfully boarded the international podium.

Try my best to repay the society

I read this sentence in Hongsheng Wu's notes: "I am a child with bad karma, but I was lucky enough to grow up in a big socialist family full of friendship and sincerity. As a capitalized person, the biggest difference between him and other life in this world is that his survival must be firm and persistent, and his development must have the responsibility to make the greatest contribution to society. "

During his tenure as factory manager in Hongsheng Wu, he taught tailor skills to employees without reservation, and provided technical training for more than 200 employees free of charge. 1996, in order to let the local laid-off workers "see a hope, a spirit, an encouragement and encouragement", he took the initiative to relieve the worries of the party and the government. At that time, all the 30 employees recruited by his company were laid-off workers, and he often followed his example and encouraged them to learn a skill and take the road of self-reliance. Over the past four years, the company has placed 30 laid-off workers and 15 disabled people, making them embark on the road of getting rich. Every year, the company pays more than 50,000 yuan in profits and taxes for the country, sends clothes and gifts to the families of veteran cadres, and donates money and materials to social welfare homes.

Today, Monti Company has developed from a debt of 200,000 yuan to a modern enterprise integrating design, production and sales with a net asset of 500,000 yuan. When talking about the future, Hong Sheng still has many ideas: "I want to expand the scale of the enterprise, arrange for 50 laid-off workers and disabled people to find jobs, set up Monti service for the disabled, provide technology, information, materials and other ways for the disabled to get rich free of charge, turn the service agency into a home for the disabled, and let Monti create employment opportunities for more laid-off workers and disabled people, provide skills training, and expand a solid life with them." "Who is Hawking? He is a brain, a myth, the most outstanding theoretical physicist of our time, a giant in the name of science ... perhaps, he is just a warrior in a wheelchair who challenges his fate.

A wise brain was born.

Stephen Hawking was born in194265438+1October 8th. At this time, his hometown London was shrouded in Hitler's indiscriminate bombing.

Hawking and his sister spent their childhood in several towns near London. Many years later, their neighbors recalled that Hawking was lying in the cradle car, which was very eye-catching, and his head looked very big, which was different from ordinary people-mostly because Hawking's reputation and achievements were far from ordinary people, and neighbors could not help but re-portray the image of gifted children in their memories.

However, in this dull and conservative town, the Hawkins really look different. Hawking's parents both received formal university education. His father is a doctor who studies tropical diseases, while his mother has engaged in many occupations. Residents of small towns are often surprised to see Hawkins driving an old used car across the street to the suburbs-before the car entered the homes of British citizens. However, this strange car expanded Hawkins' freedom of movement.

Hawking is keen to find out the ins and outs of everything, so when he sees a novel thing, he always likes to take it apart and understand the structure of each part-but it is often difficult for him to put it back because his hands and feet are far less flexible than his mind, and even his handwriting is famous in class.

Hawking/Kloc-entered Oxford University to study physics at the age of 0/7. He is still not a hard-working student, and this attitude is consistent with other students at that time. This is a period of confusion for young people after the war-they are tired of everything and feel that there is nothing worth pursuing. Hawking hangs out with his classmates at school, drinks and joins the rowing club. In the long run, he is likely to become an ordinary employee or teacher. However, the disease appeared.

The disease appeared.

Since childhood, sports have never been Hawking's strong point, and he is not good at almost all ball games.

In his third year at Oxford, Hawking noticed that he became more clumsy and fell down once or twice for no reason. Once, he suddenly fell down the stairs for some unknown reason, immediately fell into a coma and almost died.

It was not until 1962 that Hawking was a graduate student in Cambridge that his mother noticed her son's abnormal condition. Hawking, who just celebrated 2 1 birthday, spent two weeks in the hospital. After various examinations, it was diagnosed as "Luger's disease", that is, motor neuron atrophy.

The doctor told him that his body would get out of control more and more, and only his heart, lungs and brain could function. Finally, the heart and lungs will also fail. Hawking was only sentenced to two years in prison. That was at 1963.

At first, the disease deteriorated quite quickly. The blow to Hawking can be imagined. He almost gave up all his studies and research because he didn't think he could finish his master's thesis alive. However, a woman appeared.

The wheelchair appeared.

Hawking's condition is getting worse and worse. 1970, Hawking, whose academic reputation is growing day by day, was unable to walk by himself, and he began to use a wheelchair. To this day, he has never left it.

Hawking, who has been sitting in a wheelchair, works and lives extremely tenaciously.

199 1 In March, Hawking returned to his apartment in Berlin in a wheelchair. When crossing the road, he was knocked down by a car. The left arm was broken, the head was cut off, and 13 stitches were stitched. However, 48 hours later, he returned to work in the office.

On another occasion, he and his friends went to a country house. When going uphill, they turned too hard and the wheelchair fell backwards. I didn't expect the master of gravity to be overturned in the bushes by the gravity of the earth.

Despite the growing physical disability, Hawking still tries to live like an ordinary person and accomplish what he can. He's even lively-it sounds a bit funny. After he was completely unable to move, he still insisted on driving a wheelchair with his only movable finger on the way to the office. In a hotel in Moscow, he suggested that everyone dance. The way he turned the wheelchair in the hall was really a miracle. When meeting Prince Charles, he turned his wheelchair to show off and ran over Prince Charles' toes.

Of course, Hawking also tasted the consequences of "freedom" action. The master of quantum gravity fell from his wheelchair many times under the weak gravity of the earth. Fortunately, every time he stubbornly "stood up".

1985, Hawking underwent tracheal surgery, and since then he has completely lost the ability to speak. It is under such circumstances that he made great efforts to write the famous A Brief History of Time and explored the origin of the universe. Hawking achieved great success, but the reality of life replaced the romance of love, and his marriage with Jane came to an end.

Intuition: Black holes are not black.

Hawking's research object is the universe, but he has never been interested in observing astronomy, and has only observed it several times through a telescope. Compared with traditional scientific methods such as experiment and observation, Hawking's method relies on intuition.

The great achievement of "black hole is not black" comes from the flash of an idea. 1970 1 1 One night in June, Hawking slowly climbed into bed and began to think about the problem of black holes. He suddenly realized that a black hole should have a temperature, so that it would release radiation. In other words, black holes are not that black.

This epiphany, after three years of thinking, formed a complete theory. 1973165438+1October, Hawking officially announced to the world that black holes constantly emit X-rays and gamma rays, which is the famous "Hawking radiation". Before that, people thought that black holes could only swallow but not spit.

From the singularity of BIGBANG to the radiation mechanism of black holes, Hawking has made outstanding contributions to the development of quantum cosmology. Hawking won the Wolf Prize in Physics from 65438 to 0988.

The king of bestsellers: a brief history of time

Hawking's popular science book A Brief History of Time-From BIGBANG to Black Hole has sold as many as 25 million copies worldwide, and has been on the bestseller list since the publication of 1988, setting a bestseller world record. In this book, Hawking tries to explain black holes, the origin and fate of the universe, black holes and time travel in a way that ordinary people can understand.

At the beginning of A Brief History of Time, Hawking pointed out: "I was told that every equation I wrote in the book would halve sales. So I decided not to write any equations. But at the end of the book, I wrote an equation, Einstein's famous equation E=mc2. I hope this will not scare away half of my potential readers. " Now it seems that Hawking is completely worried.
