"Do you want to save your life or your legs?”At that time, the doctor's words at more than four o'clock in the morning have been passed for more than 20 years, and when the midnight dream comes back, Father Qian still occasionally has nightmares because of this sentence.
Fate always plays tricks on people, in 2000, her daughter Qian Hongyan was only 4 years old, when she was playing that day, her shoes were accidentally thrown on the road, she subconsciously ran to pick them up, and the accident suddenly happened in an instant......
4-year-old Qian Hongyan has since lost both legs and amputated all from the pelvis down. Such a serious high paraplegia operation has cost all the family's savings, which is also the most fatal point, and there is no money to customize a prosthesis for her.
Fortunately, grandpa thought of a way, and from then on, basketball is the legs of his granddaughter Qian Hongyan who continues to "walk".
Measuring the world with basketball, Qian Hongyan, the "basketball girl", used her life of never admitting defeat to prove to the world what is called a Jedi counterattack!
In order to alleviate the damage to his granddaughter's pelvis, the grandfather first hollowed out the basketball and then filled it with cottonThen tied to the little Qian Hongyan, and the wooden stake she held in her hand was also carved by her grandfather himself.
The seemingly inconspicuous basketball and wooden stakes are all that her family can do for her.
Fortunately, Qian Hongyan is only 4 years old, and she has not yet realized her current situation and how she should live the rest of her life.
So she "normally" tied a basketball and moved a wooden stake to school, and her classmates were all children from the same village or neighboring villages, even if they were curious, they were also full of kindness, and Qian Hongyan's primary school years were able to pass smoothly.
When she was growing up in elementary school, she had gradually become conscious, but she never complained, let alone gave up. She grew up strong with a basketball and a wooden cane.
As she grew older, Qian Hongyan's basketball and wooden stakes were no longer suitable, and her grandfather bought her a tricycle. Qian Hongyan used this tricycle to go to school, go home, play ball, and exercise.
Qian Hongyan's basketball life did not stop because of her physical defects, but became a symbol of her challenging herself and surpassing herself. She used her actions to tell us that as long as we have dreams and perseverance, even if we have physical defects, we can measure the world with basketball.
Until 2004, when Qian Hongyan was 8 years old, CCTV and the public security released a public welfare video of "Basketball Girl", in which the smile on her face and positive and optimistic attitude gave great encouragement to the people of the country.
Experts from major hospitals also helped through this public welfare video.
Qian Hongyan was sent to the Beijing ** Research Center, prosthetics, wheelchairs, and travel in Beijing.
That period was the day when Qian Hongyan was exposed to the public the most, but in the years that followed, it seems that she could no longer be reported on the Internet.
As everyone knows, she has quietly entered another track.
Under the careful guidance of Coach Zhang Honghu, the "Godfather of Chinese Para Swimming".Qian Hongyan wore a swimsuit and appeared at the Yunnan Paralympic Games and won 3 gold medals in one fell swoop.
Since the pelvis and below have been amputated, the size of life is suitable for all depends on her arms, Qian Hongyan's arm strength is relatively strong, at least compared to normal people, her arm strength is absolutely dominant.
In swimming events, Qian Hongyan seems to be like a fish in water, and the only thing she needs to overcome is the psychological barrier of exposing her wounds to the public when she wears a swimsuit.
Coach Zhang Honghu played an important role at this critical moment. In this way, under Qian Hongyan's unremitting and persistent training, she finally stood at the national competition site as she wished, and won a gold medal in her swimming career.
Life is full of too many accidents, and Qian Hongyan has done her best to redeem herself within the scope of her ability.
I have to say that every moment in her life when she left her gifts, Qian Hongyan firmly grasped the opportunity in exchange for today's nirvana rebirth.
Later,After she retired, she chose to return to her hometown to work in the Women's FederationResponsible for people with disabilities who also need help***
In any case, without the original tenacious will, the spirit of not admitting defeat, and the dedication to basketball, the "basketball girl" would not have the life that surpasses herself now.
Qian Hongyan's story inspires each of us and makes us understand that no matter what kind of difficulties and challenges we face, as long as we have dreams, perseverance, and courage, we can use our own lives to measure the world and surpass ourselves!
Now she is 27 years old, after the ups and downs of the first half of her life, she already has a stable job, and hopes that in the future, she can meet the other half of her life together, and support each other to go through the next step of life together.
