Eight years ago, Xiaotong's life trajectory was completely changed by a gunshot. She was only 3 years old at the time, and the fear and pain of that moment may have blurred now, but the scars and pain left on her body have always been there, always reminding her of a different fate.
Xiaotong from Yanshan County, Yunnan Province, is now 11 years old, but he has been accompanied by 23 "shrapnel" in his body for 8 years. One day in January 2016, when Xiaotong was playing in front of her house, 27 iron sand shrapnel were shot into her body by gunpowder** accidentally used by a neighbor, almost killing her. Although she struggled to survive after emergency resuscitation, doctors only removed 4 of them, and the remaining 23 were still hidden in her lungs, back and other places, hanging like a time bomb on her lifeline.
This tragedy has not been easily let go. Xiaotong's father went to the police station to report the case and asked to file a case against his neighbor Zhou for intentional injury. However, in the face of **'s decision to withdraw the case, the family had to choose silence, only hoping that Zhou could pay the follow-up expenses. However, compared with Xiaotong's long road to survival, Zhou refused to continue to pay the expenses on the grounds that the family had no money, which plunged Xiaotong's family into deeper despair.
Xiaotong, a young life, was thrown into the abyss of pain by an unjust fate. Her brother Xiaohui said bitterly that the shrapnel in Xiaotong's body often made her miserable, especially on rainy days or when the seasons changed, and the pain was unbearable, making her have to cry and wail. Over the years, Xiaotong's personality has also become withdrawn and irritable, she doesn't dare to move, she doesn't dare to run, life is like an endless torment.
However, Xiaotong was not knocked down by fate, and she still cherished hope for life. She longs to get rid of her physical pain as soon as possible, and longs to be able to run and play carefree like other children of the same age. Her family has also been working hard, and they continue to apply to ** to re-file the case, hoping to win more justice for Xiaotong.
Xiaotong's story allows us to see the tenacity and unyielding life of life. Although she was young, she grew up in the interweaving of pain and hope, showing courage and strength beyond imagination. Her road to survival may be long and difficult, but we believe that with such a strong heart, she will eventually overcome everything and usher in a real new life.
Xiaotong's story is also a call for social fairness and justice. No child in this world deserves such great pain and injustice. We look forward to justice coming soon, so that Xiaotong and her family can regain justice and peace.
May Xiaotong have a healthy and happy life again as soon as possible! May every child thrive in the warm sunshine, without being hurt, without bullying, and enjoying the joy of innocence!
