In 2010, a girl with a physical deformity from Shandong Province was unable to stand and walk, and could only crawl on the ground with her hands and feet.
When she was 24 years old, she decided to marry her husband, who was 22 years older than her, despite the opposition of her family.
After marriage, she even risked her life and insisted on giving birth to a child for her husband.
13 years have passed, and time flies. Now, how is the life of the "crawling girl" Dong Mingzhu?
Everything stated in this article is based on reliable information** and is detailed at the end of this article.
Misadventures in childhood.
Dong Mingying was born in an ordinary peasant family in Rizhao City, Shandong Province, her parents are both working-class, although the family is not wealthy, but the normal living expenses can still be maintained.
Dong Mingying was still healthy when she was a child, well-behaved and cute, she smiled when she saw people, and she didn't like to cry.
Her quirky and cute appearance is deeply loved by her parents, and even the neighbors are very envious of Dong Mingying's parents for having such a cute little padded jacket.
However, just as the family was enjoying their happy time, a sudden illness shattered their happiness.
Dong Mingying was just over a year old in 1986, when she was a toddler and had mastered the skills of walking, and she could stumble around the yard, looking very cute.
However, one night, Dong Mingying suddenly developed a high fever.
Although her parents gave her fever-reducing medicine in time, her body temperature never came down, and at one point it rose to an extremely dangerous 40 degrees.
Because the high fever had been tormenting her, Dong Mingying's crying became weaker and weaker, and her parents hurriedly took her to the village clinic in a hurry.
After going through the doctor**, Dong Mingying's physical condition improved significantly, and soon after his body temperature dropped, his parents bought some more medicines, and then took Dong Mingying home.
originally thought that as long as the fever was eliminated and two more days of medicine were taken, Dong Mingying would be as energetic as before. Surprisingly, however, the high fever led to serious sequelae.
The parents found that Dong Mingying had some symptoms in her body, and she appeared after she had a high fever not long ago. When sitting, her body leans forward uncontrollably, and she is no longer able to stand and walk as she used to.
At that time, most people generally had a low level of education, and Dong Mingying was only more than 1 year old, so the parents thought that the child might have become weak because his body was not yet completely, so they didn't pay much attention to it at first.
Until Dong Mingying was almost 3 years old, her condition did not improve in any way. At this time, although Dong Mingying felt pain from the waist down, he was completely unable to use his strength and had lost the ability to stand.
The parents realized the seriousness of the matter, and immediately took Dong Mingying to the local big hospital.
The doctor unfortunately did not find anything unusual after the examination and could not provide them with a definitive answer. Therefore, the parents had no choice but to take Dong Mingying around to seek medical treatment.
It wasn't until her parents took Dong Mingying to several major hospitals in Beijing that she finally learned the answer.
Dong Mingying's symptoms of weakness in her lower limbs stemmed from the fact that the high fever of the year failed to subside in time, resulting in varying degrees of damage to her nervous system.
At that time, the medical conditions were limited, and the doctors were helpless about Dong Mingying's situation, and the cost of the proposed plan was prohibitive.
However, although their families are not wealthy, they simply cannot afford the expensive ** costs, so they can only choose the most basic conservative ** way.
As time went by, Dong Mingying's parents had exhausted all their savings in order to pay for **, so they had no choice but to give up ** and return to their hometown with Dong Mingying.
Dong Mingying was young and didn't understand the difference between herself and other children at that time, but she was still as happy and carefree as ever every day, and she was very well-behaved.
As she grew older, she watched the other children running happily outside, and her heart was full of envy.
Her parents later made two pairs of shoes for her, one pair to wear normally on her feet and the other on her hands, so that Dong Mingying could crawl forward and no longer be trapped at home.
At that time, her peers in the village were not averse to playing with Dong Mingying, so she didn't know how her body was different from others.
Until Dong Mingying reached the age of going to school, her parents were still hesitant to let her go to school. They knew that Dong Mingying had a cheerful personality, but they were also worried that she would not be able to withstand the strange eyes of others.
Parents knew that knowledge could change their fate, and after discussion, they decided that Dong Mingying also had the right to receive an education, so they sent her to school.
After Dong Mingying came to school, she clearly felt the difference between herself and others for the first time. She could clearly feel that her classmates were looking at her curiously, and she was unable to participate in physical education class like other students.
Over time, even Dong Mingying, who has a cheerful and optimistic personality, began to have a strong boredom with learning.
With the assistance of teachers and parents, Dong Mingying gradually accepted the reality and took the initiative to communicate with her classmates.
The children's acceptance of her was also very high, and soon Dong Mingying successfully played with her classmates and successfully integrated into the class set.
Dong Mingying successfully completed primary school and entered the stage of entering junior high school.
However, the parents did not expect Dong Mingying to be so resolute that he would not want to go to school again.
At first, Dong Mingying did not disclose the reason why she was reluctant to go to school, causing her parents to mistakenly believe that they were reluctant to go to school because they were bullied at school. It wasn't until his parents asked again and again that Dong Mingying told the real reason.
Reasons for tears.
The real reason why Dong Mingying is reluctant to go to school is not because someone at school bullied her, but because she knows that her family is poor, she has an older sister and a younger brother, and her parents need to support three children to go to school, which puts great pressure on them.
Dong Mingying felt that her physical condition was not suitable for continuing her studies, so she decided to drop out of school and try to bear some of the financial pressure on her family.
As soon as the parents learned Dong Mingying's thoughts, they couldn't help but burst into tears, this sensible child made them feel even more guilty, they felt that they had delayed Dong Mingying's body and must not affect her studies again.
Despite repeated persuasion from her parents, Dong Mingying still resolutely refused to return to school. In the end, at her insistence, her parents had to agree to her request.
Dong Mingying stayed at home and took the initiative to take on household chores and some farm work, including simple household chores such as laundry, cooking, cleaning, and reading books in his free time to enrich himself.
After Dong Mingying was a little older, he began to take on some simple manual work to increase his family income.
With Dong Mingying's unremitting efforts, she has been able to complete her daily life independently and no longer needs special attention from others.
The people in the village are full of praise for the strong and beautiful Dong Mingying, because she is always positive and optimistic.
When Dong Mingying reached the age of talking about marriage, all the girls around her were married one by one, but no one came to kiss her.
In fact, the reason is also easy to understand, although Dong Mingying's personality and appearance are impeccable, but her body has some defects, so it is extremely difficult to find someone who is willing to spend her life with her.
It wasn't until she was 24 years old that Dong Mingying was able to meet a 46-year-old man from a neighboring village, which she met through an acquaintance.
Tie the knot, and the two love.
When the parents heard the man's age, they chose to refuse, saying that even if their daughter stayed at home for the rest of her life, she must not marry casually.
Dong Mingying knew that it was not easy for her to find a partner, and when she heard that someone came to introduce her to a blind date, she couldn't help but be curious. Therefore, she asked others about the man.
Feng Zhiyu is a long-time unmarried man, mainly because his parents have been ill for many years. In order to pay for his parents' medical expenses, he spent almost all the money he earned on it. The other brothers in the family have left, and he is the only one who remains with his parents to take care of them.
After Dong Mingying learned about Feng Zhiyu's situation, she had her own opinion in her heart, she believed that Feng Zhiyu had enough filial piety and a sense of responsibility, and was an excellent man who could be trusted for life.
Dong Mingying began to secretly contact Feng Zhiyu without telling his parents.
After getting to know each other better, Dong Mingying and Feng Zhiyu finally came together. Although Dong Mingying's parents did not agree with her decision, the parents could not resist the wishes of their children after all, and finally they agreed to the marriage.
Their married life was happy and warm, and it didn't take long for Dong Mingying to become pregnant with a child.
After the examination, the doctor advised Dong Mingying that depending on her physical condition, pregnancy could be very risky, so she was advised not to have children.
Dong Mingying, as a person who is about to become a mother, how can she bear to give up the child in her arms?After much deliberation, she decided to try to give birth to the child.
What's next for her?
What happened after that?
Fortunately, the whole process from pregnancy to delivery went quite smoothly, and in the end, Dong Mingying successfully welcomed a lovely baby girl.
Under Dong Mingying's careful care, the child grew up healthily, and then she successfully ushered in the birth of her second child.
The children grow up healthily, and time flies by like flowing water. Feng Zhiyu's body gradually aged, and the financial burden made him breathless.
Dong Mingying felt pity every time she saw her husband Feng Zhiyu's tired appearance, and she was always thinking about how to reduce her husband's financial burden. The rise of the short ** gave her hope.
Dong Mingying initially shared her daily life online just for the purpose of recording, and did not expect it to suddenly become popular. In just two months, she attracted 130,000 followers.
With the support of netizens, Dong Mingying later began to bring goods through live webcasts, selling agricultural products and handmade products from his hometown at a lower profit, earning some living expenses for his family.
After Dong Mingying became more and more known, everyone spontaneously hoped to do something for her, but Dong Mingying did not easily accept the help of well-wishers, but relied on her own efforts to earn wealth.
After Dong Mingying had a certain ability, he also took the initiative to join the local disabled volunteer association to share his live broadcast experience and help more disabled people.
Dong Mingying was born in a difficult situation, and he did not complain and give up on himself. Although fate was not fair to her, she still had a wonderful life.
Only those who can withstand setbacks, be strong and brave, and have a strong will can become successful.
