Continued from the previous article:The legend of the anti-cancer fighter in the swimming world No. 2 Make a comeback and create a new life for yourself If we see cancer patients still swimming in the water after more than 20 years, will we sigh the miracle of life?If she can still participate in various swimming competitions and win the championship and break the national record in ** swimming, we can only marvel at the power of miracles.
And when we delve into the story behind this string of miracles, what emerges is the blooming of the power of personality in life.
In the long river of time, there is a tough woman named Zhang Lei, who is now 67 years old, and her life experience is like a magnificent epic. In her forties, fate put her first severe test: thyroid cancer. Although it was a less malignant cancer, five years later it made a comeback in a more aggressive form, a highly malignant tumor called clear cell carcinoma. At that time, Zhang Lei knew in his heart that this time might be her last fight with death. After a series of surgeries and chemotherapy, her hair fell out one after another, and the pressure exerted by the chemotherapy drugs through the ceiling, like the pressure of fate, made her abdomen swollen and it became difficult to breathe. Every step she took felt like she was walking on the tip of a knife, and the pain was unbearable. During that year, cancer was like an invisible claw, tightly entangled Zhang Lei and her family, making them feel that the footsteps of death were getting closer and closer. When PET examination showed that her hilum had a diameter of 1At a shadow of 5 centimeters, the whole family almost collapsed and could barely eat for three days. However, it was this blow that calmed Zhang Lei's state of mind, and she began to open up and decided to fight cancer.
This decision changed her life. She made a plan to exercise, doing tai chi every morning and swimming in the afternoon. Day after day, year after year, she never slackened a single day. Her physical condition gradually improved, and all indicators gradually returned to normal. For the next twenty-one years, she swam 2,000 meters almost every day, a total of more than 8,000 kilometers in 300 days per year. This indomitable woman wrote the miracle of life with her tenacity and perseverance. Her story tells us that even if we face great difficulties and challenges, as long as we have strong faith and determination, we can overcome everything. Sometimes people ask her, "Aren't you tired of swimming like this?""It's false to say that you're not tired, but if you say that swimming forward is life, and not swimming is death, I think anyone will swim forward desperately." She said it lightly.
The recovery of the body made Zhang Lei particularly fond of swimming, not only swimming by himself, but also encouraging the people around him to participate, so that in the surrounding swimming places, she became a well-known swimmer, Beijing ** awarded her the honorary title of "anti-cancer star", Beijing TV and several other ** interviewed her, and also recorded a feature film for her.
Her deeds gradually became mythologized, swimming can be ** cancer and not far away. There are more and more legends about her, and they are becoming more and more divine. Many people wonder what magical power made Zhang Lei dispel the demon of cancer and restore his health
In fact, there is no magical power, swimming and exercise are just a means, and the fundamental thing is to be serious ** and Zhang Lei's tenacious will and cheerful mentality.
Zhang Lei's parents were both China's earliest pilots, and both participated in the war against Japan. The family nurture gave her courage and tenacity, and the swimming training she received from a young age laid a solid foundation for her to overcome her illness later.
The arduous experience in the Production and Construction Corps, and later being admitted to the medical department to become a doctor, all accumulated energy for her to fight cancer.
The support of the family is the foundation of Zhang Lei's victory over the disease, and her husband took care of several surgeries. In the last operation, her husband did not wear ** for more than 40 days, and he accompanied her every night in a kimono.
In the face of these, Zhang Lei always felt guilty, saying that he had no ability and was old and sick, dragging down his lover, but her husband said: "You can live is the greatest ability." "It's really gone through 30 years of ups and downs, and we see the truth with each other.
Zhang Lei's concept of happiness is also a good medicine for her to overcome her illness. There is a popular saying nowadays called: "The poor are only left with money", and she is a poor person who only has happiness left. A small glass of beer is better than all the delicacies, a few dishes she can taste all kinds of happiness, Saturday and Sunday to go to the Summer Palace, she can always find the feeling of being an emperor.
Some people spend their lives pursuing happiness but never achieve it, perhaps because their expectations are too high to be realized
Zhang Lei once said that when she was healthy, she rarely thought about death, and only when she was seriously ill would the thought of death come to mind. Every now and then, her hairs stand on end, and her life is so short, is it all over?From that moment on, Zhang Lei began to seriously plan how she would spend the few days left, three months or half a year
Recalling the waste of time in the past, she deeply regretted it. There is an old saying: If you lose your horse, you will not know whether it is a blessing. Since then, she has a new understanding of time, every minute and every second is worth cherishing, and she dares not slack off in the slightest. She is grateful that fate has given her life once again and allowed her to break free from the brink of death. Since then, Zhang Lei has only one belief: it's good to be alive!To be alive is the greatest happiness!Live for happiness and be happy for life.
After more than 10 years of swimming training, her body has become stronger and stronger, and her swimming skills have become more and more sophisticated. She began to participate in various amateur swimming competitions, from district competitions to Beijing competitions, to national ** swimming competitions, national winter swimming championships and international swimming invitational competitions. She won the 50m breaststroke, 100m breaststroke, 50m butterfly, 100m and 200m freestyle. 
The competition injected more vitality into her life and also gave her the charm of health. After battling her illness, she longed to share her experience with those around her. Whenever she sees some elderly friends whose swimming posture is not smooth enough, she is always enthusiastic to guide them on how to improve. Gradually, Zhang Lei became the "swimming coach" in everyone's minds. In the pool, her swimming skills and helpful spirit attracted many friends, who asked her for swimming skills. For every question, Zhang Lei will answer patiently. In the process of teaching swimming, she adheres to two principles: one is to never charge for it, because she believes that "teaching without charging can make students feel stress-free";The second is to avoid teaching children, she does not want to rob professional coaches of their jobs, and children's swimming skills should be cultivated by coaches in the swimming pool. Her trainees are mainly middle-aged and elderly, who are willing to invest a lot of money in their children's swimming training, but few are willing to spend money on learning Xi for themselves. However, they all love swimming and are serious about learning Xi. In the interaction with these old sisters, Zhang Lei experienced the joy of helping others, and they became good friends with each other and enjoyed swimming together.
The enthusiastic Zhang Lei also compiled her teaching experience into an article and published it in the magazine "Swimming" to share her experience and skills with more people. Because she has studied medicine and had tumors, and she has recovered well, she will often have friends come to her to consult some questions about tumors
Rule 1: Don't panic!
Not a saint, anyone who hears that he has "cancer" will panic. In fact, it is useless to panic, so I can only grit my teeth, calm down, and listen carefully to the doctor's opinion.
Article 2: Specification **!
The ** of the tumor, the sooner the better!If surgery is possible, chemotherapy should be performed within two weeks after surgery, so as not to always feel sorry for the patient and delay the best period. During chemotherapy, patients should not meet with guests too much, because at this time, patients have poor resistance, are prone to colds, or diarrhea and coughing, etc., to ensure that the chemotherapy is completed smoothly. Stick to ** and don't give up halfway.
Rule 3: Don't mess around!
If you are sick, you go to the doctor, and some home remedies for fighting poison with poison are often popular among the people. It's hard to change one, regardless of three-seven-twenty-one, on!It turned out to be poisoned. There is a mantra on the ** of tumors: "If you have a tumor, there are 1 3 who are scared to death." There are 1 3 who are killed, and 1 3 who really can't do it. In other words, more than half of the people who die of illness can be immortal.
Article 4: Maintenance.
When it comes to maintenance, everyone may think of health care products, in fact, the best maintenance is not medicine, but "heart". It is necessary to build up the confidence of the patient and face the tumor with a calm heart. Easier said than done, this is the saddest thing for patients. This requires the help of all family and friends, caring, enlightenment, white lies, and in short, to calm the patient's mind and fight the cancer.
*Home remedies for cancer are whole grains, fruits and vegetables. **The cure for cancer is faith and determination plus perseverance**.
Article 5: Change bad life Xi.
Patients with cancer must change their lifestyle and correct bad Xi if they want to **. You might as well carefully analyze your own life rules, find out the faults, and correct them thoroughly, such as: too strong, crazy work, overeating, barbecue, high fat and high sugar, indoor air pollution, long-term exposure to carcinogens, etc., find the cause and solve it in time. Exercise should be mainly outdoors. Strenuous exercise is not recommended, and it is advisable to be relaxed and happy.
It is fitting to conclude with a quote from Zhang Lei: "When you walk through the water, you will truly feel the charm of nature." The water transmits to you a 'motherly' caress that hurts you physically and mentally. Listen!It's the song of life playing, look!It was his own figure jumping in the water. Let's go swim!Friends!”
