In 2017, a graduate with a master's degree** at Harvard University's Lake Charles walks in a hurry.
Tintin is a graduating student who is completing his master's degree at Harvard Law School. When he received his master's degree certificate, all the students and teachers in the audience applauded and celebrated him warmly.
After graduating from university, her mother Zou Hongyan stood in the crowd and silently wiped away her excited tears. She is an ordinary female college student. Only she knew that this child with cerebral palsy, who had been diagnosed by doctors as "either stupid or paralyzed", encountered countless challenges and difficulties on the way to Harvard Law School.
For the average student who wishes to go on to further their education at Harvard, it takes a lot of effort, but how did Tintin, a man born with cerebral palsy, achieve this?
Ding Ding's success is largely due to the hard work and dedication of his mother, Zou Hongyan, for decades. As a single mother, she used years of love and strict attitude to gradually change the trajectory of Tintin's life and lead him to a broader future.
On that scorching hot summer day in 1988, Zou Hongyan touched her huge belly, hoping to see her child as soon as possible.
That year, Zou Shajiyan was only 25 years old, and she was a young teacher at the Preschool Normal School. In school, she served as a class teacher, sports committee and other positions. Due to her work, she interacts with her children every day, and she has a soft spot for these lively and cute little angels, and longs to have a child of her own with her husband.
However, when Zou Shajiyan had just finished giving birth and was expecting to meet her child, the doctor told her that she had severe cerebral palsy.
The baby's head is stuck for a long time, and the prolonged asphyxia leads to intracranial hemorrhage, which is a very serious situation and you should think about it a little more. ”
When the newborn was born, his son was taken directly to the neonatal intensive care unit, at which time Zou Hongyan sat on the bed, witnessing one after another child's critical illness notices, his eyes filled with tears.
Just let this go and let's start again in the future. ”
Facing the husband who evaded responsibility, Zou Hongyan felt deeply lost in her heart. She knew she had lost her job, and she didn't want her husband to take on the burden of parenting. The child was conceived by her after ten months, and as a mother, she was firmly opposed to giving up her child.
When the husband saw the child in the incubator crying so much that he didn't even have the strength, he thought she was stupid, and left a sentence of "If you want to keep him, just take care of it yourself, don't come to me", and then turned to leave.
Zou Shajiyan was alone in the hospital and spent five full days with her child. After five days, the baby, who was barely breathing with oxygen, finally burst into tears.
The sound of sorrow was like the sound of heaven, and the tears of Zou Hongyan's swallows fell like raindrops. She named her child "Ding Ding", hoping that he could leave his own voice and mark in this world, so as to live his own life, just like the "Felling Ding Ding, Bird Song" described in the Book of Songs.
After more than 10 days, the child's signs of life began to stabilize gradually, so Zou Shajiyan picked up the child and discharged him from the hospital.
After being discharged from the hospital, she did everything she could to give Tintin restorative training and devoted all her free time to her son. However, children are still unable to take care of themselves and often need to be cared for by their mothers. Faced with the child's delicate face and bright eyes, she couldn't believe that he really had cerebral palsy.
If you're a little slower than everyone else, Mom will definitely be with you to catch up!”
When Tintin was three months old, he listened to the doctor's advice and trained his son in color recognition.
She hung the colorful balloons all over the room one by one and then taught her son the color names of the balloons one by one.
Although the child was still very young, Zou Hongyan was very thirsty, and Ding Ding did not react, she just wanted to sigh, so she changed the way of asking questions.
Tintin, can you tell Mom which one is the red color that Mom mentioned earlier?”
Three-month-old Tintin struggled to lift his neck, his gaze locked on the red balloon in the corner. "Mom, do you think this is a balloon?Zou Sha Jiyan was very surprised, mistakenly thinking that it was just her son looking up by chance, she asked repeatedly, but Ding Ding's gaze was always right.
She felt that her son's wisdom should be impeccable, so she took a deep breath.
After three months, Zou Hongyan took her half-year-old child to the intelligence clinic to assess his intellectual development. During the physical examination, it was found that her daughter Ding Ding had a mild intellectual disability. Fortunately, Tintin's wisdom was not compromised.
However, the results of the study also revealed that Tintin's motor nerves had been severely damaged, which made Zou Hongyan dare not relax in the slightest, and always paid close attention to Tintin's every movement.
There is an old saying that three flips, six sits, nine crawls, but compared to other children of the same age, Tintin with cerebral palsy always feels soft in the body and even has difficulty lifting his neck and holding his fingers.
The child's grandmother and grandmother couldn't help but advise her to let go, "Are you really willing to sacrifice your life because of such an innocent child?!".”
Zou Shaji Yan was resolutely unwilling to give in.
She strictly followed the doctor's advice and played all kinds of ** games for the child. When she didn't have enough strength, she would Xi practice the paper tearing game, from stabilizing the paper to tearing it in half, and then tearing it in a straight line, every step of the way was steady and steady, and finally succeeded in exercising Ding Ding.
By the time Tintin was only three years old, he was already very proficient at tearing paper, and Zou Sha Jiyan began to increase the difficulty and teach children how to use chopsticks.
When a normal toddler first starts eating with chopsticks, their body coordination tends to be affected, especially for children with uncoordinated limbs like Tintin. Therefore, when children learn to Xi, they are often attracted by the eyes of those around them. However, Zou Shajiyan holds the view that if a child chooses not to learn Xi, his heart may become heavier when he grows up to face strange stares from others.
Although your mother can protect you while she is alive, sooner or later you will need to live alone!You have to be able to survive on your own!”
She explained the reason to the child again and again, but the three-year-old did not understand and often cried loudly and got angry. Once, she wanted to put the pieces of meat in a small bowl, but was worried that she would stain her clothes. Zou Hongyan endured the pain in her heart, and asked the children to practice the monotonous Xi over and over again until Ding Ding successfully caught the meat with chopsticks.
In addition, she also embarked on a TCM rehabilitation massage journey with Ding Ding, focusing on the training of motor muscles.
Rehabilitation** is not an easy task, and both children in the ward and adults outside the ward will shed tears. ”
In order to activate the neural activity on the spine and further promote the growth of the brain, during the rehabilitation massage, it is necessary to pull up the ** on the back with your hands, then put it back in place, and gradually crush it, this process needs to be repeated many times.
When Tintin meets a doctor with a lot of hands, he cries like a knife.
Hearing this, Zou Hongyan was heartbroken, but for the sake of physical recovery, she also decided to send her son to carry out the reconstruction work. Professional training is carried out every other day, in order to ensure the health of the child, Zou Hongyan is not afraid of wind and rain, never stopping.
Persistence is the key, even if the child is in pain, it must be carried out, do I really see that he can never move in bed?”
In order to support her family, she had to be busy with school work during the day, and only in the evening after work could she take her son to the rehabilitation massage. Every day after returning from work, the mother and son went to wash their son's feet as if they were in a hurry. When it rains and snows continuously, the mother and son often fall and get covered in mud along the way.
A variety of ** methods continued, causing Zou Sha Jiyan to almost exhaust all his savings.
Seeing that her son had finally recovered, she gritted her teeth and kept looking for part-time opportunities to make money, and even in order to save money, she learned rehabilitation massage and provided massage services for Ding Ding at home every day.
Behind the word "mother", there is a huge power hidden. For the sake of her child's future, Zou Hongyan incarnated as an all-powerful iron man-like mother.
Under the careful care of his mother, Tintin has mastered many basic motor skills, and can walk and run. His dad was a worker, and the family had an old bicycle and some pocket money. When he was seven years old, it was Zou Sha Jiyan who helped him enter primary school.
In order to cultivate the child's ability to think independently, Zou Shajiyan did not give him too much protection. At school, she was a popular student and was often loved by her teachers and classmates. Tintin travels to and from school alone every day and walks into the classroom to teach.
In fact, anyone with a keen eye can observe Tintin's slow and unresponsive reactions, and he also has a lumpy tongue and slurred speech when he speaks, which is very different from the average child. Zou Hongyan is also worried about whether his child will be bullied at school.
When he was in elementary school, Tintin told everyone that his leg was sore after school, and Zou Sha Jiyan found a bruise on the child's leg after examination. She wanted her child to go to the hospital. When asked about this, Tintin said that he accidentally touched the class leader's book, and the little girl gave him a kick.
In junior high school, due to health problems, the instructor gave him special attention during military training, which caused Tintin to be collectively snubbed by his classmates and was jokingly called "laughing at him."
In high school, the adolescent kids take advantage of Tintin's shortcomings to play pranks by hiding his textbooks and test papers, and then looking for him everywhere in the house, causing a burst of laughter.
During his college years, his roommates from all over the world could not fully accept his unique rest and rest Xi, so there were frequent arguments.
As a mother, Zou Shajiyan's care and love for her children is no less than others.
However, she is well aware that as a mother, she can accept her child without reservation, but in society, no one will give Tintin extra care and attention because of his physical problems.
In contrast, they may also unleash various degrees of malice.
In order to promote Tintin's more comprehensive development, she has never missed a single link in the child's growth process. She walked into the class many times, had in-depth spiritual exchanges with her classmates, shared Tintin growth experience, and sincerely hoped that everyone would accept him.
She often explains to her son the importance of growing up because he is different and still puts in more effort and time than others to this day.
Avoid competing with others, no one will despise you when you become stronger!”
Under his mother's guidance and teachings, Tintin gradually opened his heart and faced his uniqueness calmly, his personality was very gentle, and he was full of enthusiasm for learning Xi.
Perhaps because he wasn't very good at physical activity, Tintin focused most of his energy on the books at hand, which also showed his talent.
Since he started school, his grades have always been at the top and his performance has been very consistent. After graduating from junior high school, he enrolled in a major school. During the high school entrance examination, Ding Ding performed very well and was successfully admitted to Wuchang Experimental Middle School, which was like "walking into the door of the university with one foot".
His mother, Zou Hongyan, taught him from a young age that there is a wider world hidden in books, which can make people's lives better, especially for children with physical disabilities, reading, exams and studying Xi are important ways to change their lives.
Faced with his current academic performance, Tintin is not complacent, but hopes to continue to work hard and enter an excellent university to repay his mother for raising him.
Due to the variety and complexity of the high school curriculum, Tintin often feels a sense of pressure in his Xi. He saw a post on the Internet about "Dream School" with a lot of information and activities about Dream School, which were topics of great interest to him. Seeing this scene, Zou Sha Jiyan grabbed his son's hand tightly and had an in-depth conversation with him, sharing his dreams about the school and his plans after the college entrance examination.
Zou Shajiyan smiled and suggested that you should take the exam seriously, so that your mother can also experience the feeling of being a parent of Peking University.
Ding Ding mistakenly thought his mother was joking and couldn't help but laugh, but Zou Sha Jiyan became more serious, she said: "Although studying Xi is not for utilitarianism, if you have better grades, your future horizons will be broader." With a goal, life will be brighter!”
After all, she can only accompany the child through the first half of his life, and he still needs to move forward alone in the future.
She doesn't expect anything from her children, but she has to think about her child's future growth and development.
Tintin, a brilliant man, understood his mother's teachings and devoted himself even harder to his Xi studies. Finally, in the 2006 college entrance examination, he successfully entered Peking University with an excellent score of 660 points.
Ding Ding showed a high level Xi of academic enthusiasm and seriousness in the academic environment of Peking University, and he was awarded several scholarships and honorary titles during his university years. Four years later, he was successfully sent to Bei** College to continue his studies.
Ding Ding's performance shocked the outside world, and many believe that he has experienced many difficulties since he was a child with severe cerebral palsy, but for Zou Sha Jiyan, grades and grades are not the ultimate goal he pursues.
A person's life is endless, and the key is to keep moving forward.
With the active encouragement and support of her mother, Tintin was strongly infected.
After successfully earning a master's degree from STL, he decided to move on and successfully obtained admission to Harvard Law School. Tintin successfully passed the bar exam in the United States and received his master's degree from Harvard Law School in 2017.
Seeing his radiant son wearing a master's degree**, Zou Shajiyan finally couldn't control his tears.
I am very happy to see that my years of perseverance have finally come to fruition, and at the same time, I am very happy to see my son break new ground of his own.
After returning to Beijing, Ding Ding took on the role of legal advisor. At present, his work situation is very stable, his income is also considerable, and he lives a life no different from ordinary people, which can be said to be a model of "playing a bad card and playing the king bomb".
The sound of logging is crisp, and the chirping of birds comes and goes. Ding Ding did not let his life down and realized his wishes, and behind all this, it is inseparable from the selfless dedication of his mother Zou Roidyan.
From Tintin's point of view, he sees his mother as a guiding light in his upbringing.
Ding Ding's entire life has been profoundly influenced by Zou Hongyan's determined and optimistic character. After all the difficulties and setbacks, the mother and son gradually climbed to the top, and this tenacity also inspires us to overcome every challenge in life with endless love and courage.
