Every morning at half past 7 o'clock, when the school wakes up**, Zhang Xiuxia (pseudonym) from Hewei Community, Lushui Town, Changning County, wakes up her granddaughter and starts a busy day.
For ordinary people, this kind of life is normal, but for Zhang Xiuxia and her granddaughter Li Xiaoyue (pseudonym), who has congenital cerebral palsy and cannot walk independently, it is not easy.
But in the past 10 years, Zhang Xiuxia has used meticulous care and unwavering companionship to hold up her granddaughter's dream of studying. This 65-year-old man writes the most beautiful truth in the world with persistence and perseverance.
Li Xiaoyue, a student at a special education school in Changning County, was treated in major hospitals in Kunming, Shanghai, and Beijing before she was 7 years old. In 2013, when Li Xiaoyue reached the age when she could go to school, seeing that other people's children could successfully enter school, the family began to be anxious. After learning about the situation, the schools in the area actively coordinated with each other, and finally, Li Xiaoyue's dream of going to school in Changning County Special Education School was realized.
Although she realized her dream of going to school, because she couldn't walk independently, Li Xiaoyue had to have someone to take care of her at school. Faced with the actual situation of the family and children, Zhang Xiuxia took on the important task of accompanying her granddaughter to school to study.
This companion is 10 years. In the past 10 years, whether it is cold and hot or wind and rain, Zhang Xiuxia can be seen supporting her granddaughter in the school's playground and corridor. "We walked 15 laps a day, 5 laps in the morning, 5 laps in the afternoon, a total of 3,000 meters, and the weather was sunny and rainy. Zhang Xiuxia said.
For Zhang Xiuxia, every Monday is the most difficult day, if she and her granddaughter need to walk for more than an hour to get to the bus station to catch the first bus. But as her granddaughter grows up and her age increases, Zhang Xiuxia, who needs to carry her granddaughter on her back, has to get up earlier and earlier. Zhang Xiuxia said: "Sometimes I can't carry her back, so I lead her to walk slowly. ”
The hard work paid off, and under Zhang Xiuxia's careful care, her granddaughter Li Xiaoyue's insistence on exercising achieved obvious results, which made Zhang Xiuxia feel that she still had a harvest in her heart.
On March 8, 2016, Zhang Xiuxia, who accompanied her granddaughter to practice walking in the school teaching building, was pleasantly surprised to see that Li Xiaoyue could walk a few steps independently, which made Zhang Xiuxia see hope. "After so many years of perseverance, I always think that it is impossible for my parents, grandparents and grandparents to accompany her for a lifetime, no matter what difficulties I encounter, I must insist on accompanying her, exercising her, so that she can live independently in the future. Zhang Xiuxia said excitedly.
10 years have passed, under the careful care of Zhang Xiuxia and the education and care of the school teachers, Li Xiaoyue has gradually grown up, and she has also learned some skills, and she has become sunny and cheerful. "In the past 10 years, I want to thank my grandmother for her hard work, without my grandmother I would not be where I am today. In the past 10 years, the teachers have cared about me and helped me, I am very happy, if it were not for these teachers to face our group of special dolls, I would not be where I am today. Li Xiaoyue is full of gratitude to her relatives and teachers.
Over the past 10 years, Zhang Xiuxia has taken good care of her granddaughter, so that the child can feel the love of family, school, and society, and plant the seeds of love in the depths of the child's heart.
As Li Xiaoyue's class teacher, Yang Jianpeng, a teacher at Changning County Special Education School, witnessed the bits and pieces of Zhang Xiuxia's grandmother and grandson at school. He said: "When Li Xiaoyue first entered the school, she needed to be held and carried by her grandmother, and now she only needs a little moral support from her grandmother in the back, and she can move forward on her own, which is a very big improvement for her in our school." Such progress is inseparable from the company of Grandma, who is a role model for all parents to follow. ”
In the face of the reporter's interview, Zhang Xiuxia did not have touching and heartfelt words, but she wrote the great love of the world with 10 years of perseverance, and warmed everyone around her with her unwavering dedication.
