Li Peng, a swimmer who lost his arms in his early years, overcame unimaginable difficulties with indomitable perseverance. After the tempering of blood and tears, soul and flesh, life and death, and the hell of a narrow escape, he finally walked step by step to the whole country and the world with extraordinary perseverance and tenacious will. ...
Lose both arms due to accidental electric shock
1On June 30th, 994, Li Peng, who grew up in Kaiyuan, just turned 8. It was the summer vacation at school. Usually he is active, naughty and playful. In order to take a shortcut, he climbed the wall of his father's unit and went out to play with his classmates. He accidentally hit the transformer high-voltage line at the fence and was shot down on the spot. Colleagues in his father's unit sent him to the railway hospital. The doctor had to save his life because his arm was burnt and necrotic.
The painful lesson taught him to be honest and climb one peak after another with his wisdom, will and perseverance.
Learn to take care of yourself with superhuman perseverance.
After leaving the hospital, Li Peng slowly recovered, but he couldn't take care of himself and cried all day. In order to survive, he must stand on his own feet, take care of himself, use his feet as his hands, train his feet for functions other than reading and running, and the desire to improve his self-care ability inspires him. He began to train his feet with extraordinary perseverance, using two pots, one for clothes buttons and the other for buttons, and insisted on stringing buttons with his toes. When he first started practicing, his forehead sweated, his calf muscles cramped and his toes were numb and inflexible. After a long and arduous training, a miracle finally appeared, and his feet could finally string the buttons together. With the help of his parents, after more than a year of training, he can finally eat, write and wear pants with his feet, and he can take care of himself. He is full of confidence in life again.
Have an indissoluble bond with swimming
1994 In September, three months after losing his arms, he met his uncle Zhang Qinglin who worked on the railway. Although he lost a foot, he won three gold medals in the Far South Games, 1 silver and 2 bronze. His heart was shaken, and he was determined to follow Uncle Zhang's example, live bravely and firmly, and break out of his own world through unremitting struggle. At first, he used running to exercise, running 5 to 10 kilometers every day, and his physique continued to increase all year round.
One day in 1998, his mother led him, who had just turned 12 years old, to the Municipal Disabled Persons' Federation to apply for a disabled card, which coincided with the invitation of the Municipal Disabled Persons' Federation to the track and field and swimming coaches of the Provincial Disabled Persons' Federation to select new seedlings in Kaiyuan. The comrades of the Municipal Disabled Persons' Federation recommended him to the Provincial Disabled Persons' Federation. Yang looked at him, touched it, and asked about the basic situation. Soon, the provincial disabled sports association sent a notice asking him to participate in the new seedling training. When he arrived at the swimming training base and looked at the blue sea, his heart was silent for more than two years, just like a stone thrown into a calm lake, with ripples and impulses. He forgot that he was disabled and plunged into the water. This is his first swimming since he lost his arms. He has no arms, no training, and his feet won't listen to him. He could only gulp water and almost drowned. By the time someone rescued him, he had drunk a lot of water, but his perseverance made the base leader decide to keep him in Huaning Swimming Base for new seedling training.
Train hard and climb the peak of your career.
Swimming training is more difficult and bitter than self-care ability training. First of all, let your feet function as flexibly as your hands and swim forward bit by bit. When he is not in the water, he will practice hard indoors. People should kneel to raise their knees and ankles, keep their upper body straight, sit on their heels, then sit on their left and right shoulders and press down hard. Sometimes he practices tinnitus, and people sitting on him see that his face is pale, his lips are blue, he has difficulty breathing, and his clothes are soaked with sweat. They all said distressfully, "I haven't practiced much." But he always gritted his teeth, kept insisting and counted the time. He thought that if he persisted for one more minute, his swimming skills would be improved by one point, so he often practiced beyond the prescribed time. After the practice, he was soaked with sweat and couldn't move, just like falling apart. Swimming competition depends on skill and physical fitness. In order to improve his ventilation ability, he does sit-ups to exercise his abdominal muscles every day and puts a sandbag weighing 10 kg on his chest. Through this exercise, he increased the expansion of his lungs. This kind of exercise is hard. Sometimes when practicing, my brain is buzzing, as if it were about to explode, and my whole body is sore and numb, which makes people feel groggy. However, after hard training, his vital capacity, respiratory muscle ability and lung tissue elasticity have been significantly improved.
After a period of formal training, he not only learned to swim, but also showed his potential in swimming. /kloc-0 won three firsts at the 3rd Paralympic Games in Kaiyuan City in September, 1999, and won three firsts at the 3rd Paralympic Games in Yunnan Province in October, 165438. Although he has made some achievements, Li Peng knows that he has only taken a small step and still has a long way to go. New challenges await him. He will strive to create infinite glory in his limited sports career, win glory for the motherland and the people, realize his own value, and pursue life goals of self-esteem, self-confidence, self-improvement and self-reliance for the disabled. In May 2000, at the Fifth Paralympic Games held in Shanghai, he won two gold medals in the100m butterfly and the100m medley relay, and two silver medals in the 200m medley and 50m butterfly. At the 1 1 Paralympic Games held in Sydney, Australia in June 2000, he won the bronze medal in the 4× 50m medley relay, the 4th place in the 50m butterfly and the 6th place in the 200m medley. At the National Swimming Championships for the Disabled held in Kunming in July, 20001,he won three gold medals in the 50m butterfly,100m breaststroke and 200m medley.

At the 6th National Paralympic Games held in Nanjing in September, 2003, he won three gold medals in S6 50 butterfly,100m butterfly and SB7 200m breaststroke. In September, 2004, at the 12 Paralympic Games held in Athens, Greece, she won two gold medals in S6 50m butterfly and 20-minute 4x50m freestyle relay, SB7 1 00m breaststroke1bronze medal, and fourth place in 200m medley.
Because of his outstanding performance, Li Peng was awarded the title of "Excellent Athlete" by the China Disabled Persons' Federation and the State Sports General Administration, the "National May 1 Labor Medal" by the All-China Federation of Trade Unions, and the "China Youth May 4th Outstanding Contribution Medal" by the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League and all-china youth federation, and won many provincial, state and municipal honors.
In the face of these honors, Li Peng deeply feels that achievements can only explain the past, and he will have to pursue and struggle on his own in the future. He is determined to repay the motherland and the people with more outstanding achievements.
Hong Zhanhui, winner of "Touching China" in 2005.
On the campus of Huaihua University in Hunan Province, every morning, a 23-year-old boy will ride a bicycle to take a little girl in her teens to Shimen Primary School, and then take her back to their residence-the stairwell downstairs in the boys' dormitory at night. This boy is Hong Zhanhui who was admitted to the Department of Economics and Management of Huaihua University from Xihua County in 2003. The little girl is not related to Hong Zhanhui by blood, but the abandoned baby was adopted by her father with intermittent mental illness. Because his mother ran away from home, he brought up the sister who was taken away. When he was in high school in Hong Zhanhui, he always took his sister with him, took care of her while studying, and made a living by doing small business and odd jobs. Now he has taken care of her 12 years.
When he was a child, he was responsible for taking care of another weak child. He must support the families in trouble, and he must learn to be friendly, brave and strong. Life made him start harvesting too early. As a result, he began to become a man who could not beat hardships, studied in poverty, and made himself strong through hardships. Today, he still looks weak, but mentally, he has never been strong.
Generally speaking, according to today's "mainstream" values, Hong Zhanhui is an extremely insignificant member of this society. Hong Zhanhui has no huge wealth, no dazzling brilliance on the stage and screen, no success in sports competitions, no prominent power position, and no "key" universities. Hong Zhanhui is just "Huaihua University", an ordinary poor student from an unknown school who is partial to a small town in the midwest. However, these two days have set off a wave of souls in the print media, especially on the network platform. People borrowed a fashionable slogan, "He touched China".
People praise and support almost one side with undisguised and unpretentious words. The "achievements" and scandals of dignitaries who have not seen each other for three days appear alternately, the "rationality" of learned nobles, the extravagance and ostentation of rich tycoons, the "stunning" of celebrities who have intrigued and lust, and even the "super girl" who smells like copper in commercial packaging. Just as passers-by trudging in the desert suddenly found a clear spring to quench their thirst, just like showers and delicious food, they couldn't stop the impulse to embrace that rare emotional feast, just because people found that people had lost too much in the increasingly dazzling goals and pursuits in this world, and the appearance of Hong Zhanhui made all those people whose conscience was still dusty or drifting with the tide in the rampage of fame and fortune shine brightly.
For nothing else, just because this Henan child, who is regarded by many "gentlemen" and lives on the meager income of selling newspapers, odd jobs and small commodities, is regarded as a "weak person" by the "mainstream" society, in 12, he is raised with deep affection and indomitable efforts that never give up, and even struggles to the death with the danger of life.
At the beginning of this process, Hong Zhanhui was only a child of 12 years old. For the little guy who abandoned the baby, this is just the difference between broad beans and peas. Hong Zhanhui's ordinary, arduous and suffering course can be called a "feat", which shocked people, especially people with different conditions. For his "sister", for their livelihood, for digging birds' eggs from trees, he almost fell to his death. Hong Zhanhui is like a mirror, a peculiar mirror, which makes our "mainstream" society look dwarfed and exposed.
The "mainstream" mentioned here is not the group with the largest number of members, but the "mainstream" with the loudest voice, standing in the spotlight center of the social stage, shining with a lot of "success", wealth and authority. In their circle, there is no shadow of such a social member, because Hong belongs to the "scum in competition" and belongs to the class of "feeding by the mainstream".
The "mainstream" has publicized the philosophy of "free competition" for more than 20 years and practiced the principle of "giving priority to efficiency and giving consideration to fairness" for more than 20 years. A few days ago, a "mainstream" of Central X School declared that "fairness" would not be seen in another 20 years. But Hong Zhanhui doesn't think so. For Hong Zhanhui, it is undoubtedly "efficient" to get rid of his "sister" for himself and his family. His "sister" has no blood relationship and moral constraints, and can be completely pushed out of society. This is undoubtedly "fair" to Hong Zhanhui. However, Hong Zhanhui's behavior shows that he is responsible for his "efficiency"
A few days ago, an "economist" who didn't know why he became famous, an old sage who swore that selflessness was a sin for many years, went to Guangzhou again to talk about his extreme contempt for Lei Feng's spirit, saying that "selfless dedication caters to those who take advantage" and claimed that his life creed was "enjoying life". Hong Zhanhui undoubtedly gave the old egoist a loud slap in the face. In the most difficult time, Hong Zhanhui flashed the idea of giving up her "sister". For Hong Zhanhui's "private", there is nothing wrong with this, but for "elder sister", this is probably a disaster. According to the logic of the old egoist, "Sister" is waiting for "taking advantage", but Hong Zhanhui firmly opposes "private".
In terms of social status and economic status, Hong Zhanhui is "lowly", while in terms of social conscience and moral level, Hong Zhanhui touched China and undoubtedly humiliated the "mainstream".
