She is currently the president of China Disabled Persons' Federation.
She shattered the doctor's prediction of the length of her life with tenacious will, and she tried to live every day with a positive attitude, constantly expanding the width of life. In 1980s, her indomitable spirit showed young people all over the country the strength of struggle and inspired a large number of young people in China. She is Zhang Haidi, who is known as "the new Lei Feng in 1980s" and "the contemporary Paul".
Even if the wings are broken, the heart will fly.
Zhang Haidi, born in September, 1955, is an intellectual family in Jinan. She had a happy childhood, happy and lively, jumping around all day and flying around like a swallow. Unfortunately, the skipping time is so short. 1960 One sunny morning, just after a lesson in the toy room, she and her friends ran to the door with a smile and suddenly fell down. Since then, his legs have lost consciousness, and Zhang Haidi has lost his memory about them.
Zhang Haidi didn't know that he was suffering from spinal hemangioma, and his condition recurred, which was difficult to treat. In five years, she had three major operations, removed six spinal plates, and finally was paraplegic. In this way, originally naive and lively Zhang Haidi can only lie in bed all day. At that time, doctors agreed that paraplegic patients like this were generally difficult to live beyond the age of 27.
Looking at the partners happily carrying schoolbags to school, finally one day, Zhang Haidi couldn't hold back his desire and said to his mother, "Mom, I'm going to school!" "But because they can't take care of themselves, all schools don't accept it.
Disease is merciless. Whenever illness tormented her, the strong Zhang Haidi did not shed tears. When the pain was really severe, in order to distract her, she yanked her hair, intending to replace one kind of pain with another. Gradually, the hair she pulled down can be braided!
For Zhang Haidi, home is a special school. In this special school, Zhang Haidi, who is smart and studious, learns pinyin, looks up dictionaries and learns one new word after another. She was lying on the bed, her arms propped up, copying books, and she learned one primary school textbook after another. No one urged her, no one checked and urged her, and there was no competition between exams and exams. She relies on self-study. Double your efforts and double the joy of success. Therefore, her awareness of learning, interest in learning, will to live and thinking ability all increase with her knowledge. Through extraordinary efforts, she also practiced sketching, learned to sketch, copied famous paintings, learned to know the notation and staff, and played songs with accordion, pipa and guitar.
1April, 970, Zhang Haidi followed his parents who led the educated youth to the countryside, and went to the countryside where there was no electric light and running water, and life was very difficult. She found that there was no music teacher in primary school, so she took the initiative to go to school to teach singing. After class, she also helps students organize self-study groups to give them haircuts, buttons and clothes.
Seeing the pain caused by the lack of medical care and medicine for the local people, Zhang Haidi came up with the idea of learning medical skills to relieve the suffering of the people. She used her pocket money to buy medical books, thermometers, stethoscopes, mannequins and medicines, and studied books on acupuncture, human anatomy, internal medicine and practical pediatrics. In order to identify the internal organs, she cut open the hearts, lungs, livers and kidneys of small animals for observation. In order to be familiar with acupoints, she drew red and blue dots on her body, practiced needles on her body and felt the acupuncture sensation.
At first, she stuck it on cabbage bumps and radishes. A few days after the cabbage pimple made progress, she gave herself a needle. She thinks that doctors should do this and feel for themselves first. Someone once asked her, is Heidi unconscious below your legs and chest? Doesn't it hurt to stick a needle yourself? She said, "On the contrary, when I first started acupuncture, I pricked my most painful places, such as the acupoints on my face, including Tang Yin. I want to know what it feels like after it is tied. " Many things happen. She finally mastered certain medical skills and was able to treat some common and frequently-occurring diseases. For more than ten years, she has treated 10000 people.
Genius is born in pain.
Later, inspired by the deeds of pavel korchagin and Wu Yunduo, and inspired by Gao Yubao's writing experience, she decided to take the road of literary creation and use her own pen to create a beautiful image and enlighten people's hearts. She read many famous Chinese and foreign books, kept diaries, read novels, recited poems and copied China's epigrams. Look for the goal, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles there are, we must cross the past and reach the other side of success. This is Zhang Haidi's character.
198 1 year, Zhang Haidi's deeds began to attract media attention. On February 29th, 65438, the front page of the newspaper reported Zhang Haidi's deeds of being physically disabled and determined to fight the disease. Her tenacious fighting spirit quickly ignited people's passion. Subsequently, local league organizations, women's federations and party newspapers all reported her deeds, and units at all levels also urged her to have a discussion.
1February 28, 983, then secretary of the Central Secretariat of the Communist Youth League personally presided over the "capital news unit to listen to Comrade Zhang Haidi's deeds briefing"; On March 1 day, the front page of China Youth Daily published the article "If it is a meteor, leave the light to the world", once again focusing on Zhang Haidi's touching deeds of unremitting self-improvement; On March 7th, the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League awarded Zhang Haidi the title of "Excellent Communist Youth League Member" and the All-China Women's Federation awarded her the title of "March 8th Red Flag Bearer". There is a whirlwind of "learning from Zhang Haidi" across the country.
Surrounded by flowers, applause and praise, Zhang Haidi is facing new choices on the road of life. After deep thinking, she believes that the ultimate meaning of life is to strive to achieve spiritual pursuit.
From 65438 to 0985, Zhang Haidi picked up a pen and devoted himself to the creation of the novel Dream in a Wheelchair, which lasted for five years. Because of sitting in a wheelchair for a long time, her body suffered from bedsores, and her arms were used to support her body for a long time. Her sleeves were worn out one after another, and the calluses on her elbows fell off one layer after another. Her right arm was disabled because of the thickening of blood vessels caused by long-term support.
Jinan in summer is known as the "stove". I don't feel that it is difficult to sweat in the lower body, and the small electric fan blows out hot air. In order to cool down, every once in a while, she soaks her hair with tap water and then sits in front of an electric fan to blow it; In winter, the room is as cold as an ice room. Even if you wear thick cotton-padded clothes, you will catch a cold several times a year. If you catch a cold, you will have a fever for several days, and even your life will be in danger. Zhang Haidi has never regretted this. On the contrary, he believes that cold can make people more sober-minded and increase their understanding of life.
1990, Dreams in Wheelchairs was published nationwide. Then, Zhang Haidi wrote his second book, The Pursuit of Life. In order to satisfy readers' desire to buy books, this book was printed ten times in a row. Zhang Haidi sighed with emotion, "As a writer, what can make you happier than readers love your works?" So, she persisted in writing and created a novel, a collection of essays and a window open to the sky. At the same time, she translated many excellent foreign literary works.
I am like a meteor, and I want to leave the light to the world.
In June 2008, Zhang Haidi was elected as the Chairman of the Fifth Presidium of China Disabled Persons' Federation. She said, "I want to cheer up and let my spirit fly." I also hope that the disabled brothers and sisters with difficulties have confidence that their lives are changing and getting better and better ... Many comrades and I will do our best to contribute to the better life of the disabled. "
Zhang Haidi, who has been making unremitting efforts to improve the living conditions of the disabled, once sang for disabled children in the Great Hall of the People and called for caring for disabled girls at the World Conference on Women. She often goes to welfare homes and special education schools to visit the elderly and disabled children and send them gifts and warmth. She inspired countless teenagers to make progress with her stories and songs. During my tenure as a member of the CPPCC, I wrote many proposals for the social welfare and security of the disabled. At the CPPCC meeting in 2004, she submitted a proposal about disabled people driving, which aroused strong social repercussions.
Zhang Haidi has done a lot of social work for many years. She built a primary school for rural villages, helped poor disabled children to treat diseases and study, and donated more than 60 thousand yuan to disaster areas and children. She also actively participated in various work and activities of the cause of the disabled, called on the whole society to support the cause of the disabled, cared for and helped the disabled, encouraged them to stand on their own feet, and made outstanding contributions to the work and activities and development of the cause of the disabled.
These deeds remind people of Zhang Haidi, Cinderella who said, "If she is a meteor, she will leave the light to the world", and the "weak woman" who broke the doctor's life expectancy several times and faced life with a smile on her head. "Love beauty, love laughter, love life, love Zhang Haidi to the extreme" is the testimony of a reporter who interviewed her and the most accurate description of her.
Over 50 years old, the "Sister Heidi" was no longer young; Times have changed, and today's "post-80s" and "post-90s" may no longer be familiar with her deeds. We relive Heidi's story to witness a truth: success is not "winning the lottery", and the dream of life needs sweat and hard work. In this sense, Zhang Haidi is still "young" and the "Heidi spirit" will never be out of date.
Historical review:
In the eyes of some teenagers nowadays, it is best to omit all the links before success, such as struggle, tempering and frustration. It's best to walk on the street by yourself, be caught by big directors and talent scouts, and become famous overnight by a movie and a "draft" ...
Zhang Haidi's dictionary has never had such a dream. Although I didn't have the opportunity to enter school, I studied hard, completed all the courses in primary and secondary schools, taught myself college English, Japanese, German and Esperanto, and later studied undergraduate and postgraduate courses. Facing the cruel challenge of fate, Zhang Haidi did not feel depressed and sink. She fought against the disease with tenacious perseverance and perseverance, withstood the severe test, and verified the truth that she finally saw the rainbow after the storm.
