In a small mountain village in Rizhao City, there is a girl who crawls forward on all fours, her name is Dong Mingying, and she has used this pair of slippers for half her life.
Many people may think that Dong Mingying is very remarkable to be able to survive in such an environment, but she resolutely chose the most difficult path.
Not only did she carry her schoolbag to school like an ordinary person, but she also married a single husband who was more than 20 years older than herself.
Although everyone, including her parents, advised her not to have children, just two people to live, Dong Mingying still insisted on giving birth to two children.
Now, Dong Mingying, as a 'crawling mother' with two children and following the life of her husband in his 40s, how is her life going?"
In such a family, how will the two children born by Dong Mingying resolutely grow up?
No matter what kind of family the child is born into, what kind of parents they have, this is something they cannot choose.
The sisters, Feng Tingting and Feng Wanwan, were born in Rizhao City, and they understand this deeply. Since their birth, they have been surrounded by all sorts of pitiful, ridiculed, and curious glances and words.
The sound did not come from them, but from their mother, Dong Mingying, a woman who was weak in her lower limbs and could only crawl.
However, when Dong Mingying was born, this was not the case, she was actually a very healthy and lovely child.
Dong Mingying's parents are natives of Rizhao, and their family is not wealthy, but they live happily. Now a new life has been ushered in, which makes the couple's life more hopeful.
Dong Mingying's little girl is sensible and cute, her smile never leaves all day long, she hardly cries, she is not shy, and she will laugh happily no matter who hugs her. At that time, the neighbors said that the child was simply here to repay the favor, so that the parents could rest assured.
Xiao Dong Mingying really learned to walk quickly when he was one year old, and he walked very steadily, and his parents were very pleased with this, and praised the child for being really smart.
However, unexpectedly, this short walking life has become Dong Mingying's wish that can never be realized.
One night, Dong Mingying suddenly felt a little feverish, but it was late at night, and the village clinic had long been closed. So the parents gave the child some fever reducers, hoping to lower the body temperature by sweating.
Xiao Dong Mingying's forehead was getting hotter and hotter, and the parents realized that they couldn't delay any longer, so they hurriedly took the child to the village hospital to see a doctor. However, it was still dark and the clinic was not open.
Dong Mingying's father finally knocked on the door himself, and the doctor struggled to get up and open the door to check the condition, and found that the child had a high fever of 40 degrees.
The doctor immediately injected the child with a ** injection, because the drug had not worked, and it was not until the early hours of the morning that Xiao Dong Mingying's body temperature gradually dropped, and the parents were relieved.
They didn't understand it at the time, and it was just a prologue to a nightmare.
The mother often pays attention to the condition of her child, and she finds that her daughter was steady when she first learned to walk, but recently she has become unsteady in walking, and this is after the last time she recovered.
However, the mother didn't think much about it at the time, thinking that it was normal for her child to staggered a lot when he was a toddler, but things were getting worse and worse.
More than half a year has passed quietly, and the child has not only failed to take the first steps of walking, but even standing has become a difficult task. It was only then that the parents realized that there was something wrong with the child and rushed to the hospital with the child.
The village doctors were unable to figure out what was wrong, so they went to the city for medical treatment, but the city doctors were helpless. Eventually, they had to go to a major hospital in the province, but disappointingly, the results showed that their daughter could no longer stand up.
Dong Mingying's lower limbs are so weak, probably because the high fever did not go away, which caused damage to the nerves in his waist.
The parents looked at their innocent and lovely daughter, and couldn't help but shed tears in their eyes. Dong Mingying saw her parents crying, so she hurriedly climbed forward to make her parents happy.
Dong Mingying then began a life of not being able to walk, she usually had to crawl on the ground, and in order to avoid hand injuries, she also wore a pair of slippers on her hands.
Feng Wanwan and Feng Tingting, as Dong Mingying's daughters, are often stared at strangely by the people around them because of their unusual behavior, and even ridiculed and teased by children of the same age.
Despite the fact that their mother was a handicapped person, they did not resent their mother because of this, nor did they resent that they were born into such a family, because of the mother they were proud of.
Dong Mingying has faced life with optimism all his life.
Suppose you are Dong Mingying, who has been unable to walk normally since you were a child, unable to live a normal life like everyone else, and is surrounded by all kinds of strange eyes. In this case, will you fall into self-pity, even low self-esteem, and eventually choose to give up life?
However, Dong Mingying never thought that he was disabled because he could not walk normally, and then gave up on himself.
Dong Mingying comforted her parents that they did not have to worry about their daughter's future situation because she could walk with gestures even if her legs could not walk.
Although Dong Mingying's parents usually don't allow her to do anything, she is very sensible and will take the initiative to help her parents with household chores within their means, such as washing clothes, cooking and tidying up the house.
Many people may not have thought that Dong Mingying, who has lost the function of her legs, can do so many things, but in fact, she handles it more cleanly than others. Not only can you iron your clothes and grab them, but you are also very skilled in the action of picking, cutting and stir-frying vegetables during cooking.
Dong Mingying insisted on going to school, even though her way was different from others. At school, she faced many difficulties, whether it was studying or going to the toilet, which made it difficult for her, and she was often looked at strangely.
Due to the family's financial constraints, Dong Mingying felt guilty about his parents, so he took the initiative to choose the opportunity to let his younger siblings receive education, but he dropped out of school in the fourth grade.
After dropping out of school, she did not sit back and eat, but learned to make handicrafts and make a living with her own hands.
Dong Mingying's face hardly shows melancholy and unwillingness, but more of an optimistic spirit and fighting spirit. She has a lively personality and loves to talk and laugh with others.
As time passed, the ridicule around her gradually subsided, replaced by more respect and appreciation for her.
She takes care of her daughter with great care and care, which is not inferior to that of other mothers.
She always taught her children to be useful to society with an optimistic and capable attitude, and this approach also helped her two daughters develop a strong character and an optimistic and cheerful character.
So how could such a mother be rejected by her children?
What's more, Dong Mingying exchanged her life for the lives of her two daughters. Married to a 46-year-old bachelor and had two children.
Dong Mingying not only has a good personality and ability, but also looks quite good. If there had not been that high fever back then, many people would have come to her marriage when she got married.
Dong Mingying has reached the age when she should get married, but the reality is that no one is interested in her, and even matchmakers are unwilling to be a matchmaker for her.
Dong Mingying has a good mentality, and she thinks that staying with her parents and not getting married is also a good choice.
However, the parents could not imagine that after their death, they would not be able to see their daughter in peace, with nowhere to put them.
Therefore, they usually ask the matchmaker to help take a look at their daughter's condition, and the news soon reached the ears of Feng Zhiyu in the next village.
Feng Zhiyu is familiar with Dong Mingying's story and understands that she is a strong girl, so he has a good impression of her. However, he did not dare to propose to her.
Although he is very capable, he is slurred, has no education, is only good at manual work, and his family is not wealthy, and he is still single at the age of 46.
It wasn't until he finally mustered up the courage to find the matchmaker that he had the opportunity to meet Dong Mingying, because he was afraid that if he didn't say a word like before, the marriage would be yellow.
Although Dong Mingying realized that he was not young, he believed that he was honest and capable and could live a good life, so he agreed to the marriage.
Under the tearful gaze of Dong Mingying's parents, the two finally tied the knot. After marriage, although they lived in poverty, they lived a very down-to-earth life. Soon, Dong Mingying became pregnant with a child.
Dong Mingying's parents were not happy to hear the news of their daughter's pregnancy, because considering their daughter's physical condition, they were very worried about whether they could successfully give birth to a child.
Worried that their daughter's health was already in poor condition and that the child might not be successfully born, they persuaded her to have an abortion before the pregnancy was in the late stages.
Dong Mingying was resolutely unwilling to give up her biological flesh and blood, so she decided to give birth to this child.
Relatives also came to persuade her, after all, even if the child is really born, it is a problem whether it can be properly raised.
Despite these events, Dong Mingying's determination has never wavered. In the end, she successfully gave birth to a child at the risk of her life, and then welcomed a daughter. Today, their family of four is very happy and complete.
Although some people think that children may not be willing to be born into a family with a disabled mother and a single father for 40 years, there is no doubt that without Dong Mingying, the mother, there would be no two daughters now and in the future.
Dong Mingying not only took care of her two daughters, but also set a good example for them.
After learning more about the lives of people with disabilities, Dong Mingying began to share her stories through live broadcasts to encourage more people to face life positively and optimistically.
She is even helping people with disabilities in the county become self-reliant and promote local products and goods. Most of these goods are made by people with disabilities, who, like Dong Mingying, have not given up their lives because of their physical disabilities, but are trying to achieve self-reliance with their hands.
Dong Mingying can't walk on her legs, so she can only sit in a wheelchair and shuttle between various commodities to promote people, and then use her own hands to receive and send goods, bringing hope to more disabled people.
Dong Mingying is so optimistic and contributes to the disabled friends that she has been praised by the Disabled Volunteers Association. She won the title of "Top Ten Self-improvement Model" and the trophy of "First Prize in the Disability Competence Competition", which made her smile extraordinarily sweet.
How could this wonderful mother not make her daughters proud?
Dong Mingying used her own actions to truly interpret the meaning of "physically disabled and strong", she faced life with optimism and positivity, and conveyed to us the belief that no difficulty can break us.
What's more, how can we ordinary people with healthy hands and feet lose to suffering?Dong Mingying, who can't even walk on his legs, can live such a wonderful life, do we have to give up pursuing the life of our dreams?
