After the Spring Festival, the mountain village still carries a hint of winter cold.
The morning fog had not yet completely cleared, and the sun shone through the sparse clouds on the uneven mountain road.
The old village chief woke up from the warm bed, put on a thick cotton jacket, and walked out of the door slowly.
The young people of the village have gone out to work, and only some old people and children remain.
They sat in front of their homes or gathered in the shade of the trees at the head of the village, chatting about their daily routines.
Children frolic carefree on the side of the road, with the occasional crisp laugh.
The old village chief walked to the head of the village and saw the teenage Xiao Li sitting alone on a stone, looking into the distance.
His small face was full of traces of time, and there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
Xiao Li suffers from polio and has been unable to live a normal life like everyone else.
He was discriminated against, lived in poverty, and never went to school.
The old village chief looked at Xiao Li distressedly and decided to help him.
He went back to his home, found out some pocket money he had saved, and consulted with the other elders in the village.
They expressed their willingness to lend a hand and help Xiao Li together.
In the following days, the old village chief and the old people raised funds for Xiao Li together.
They knocked on the door from house to door, telling Xiao Li's plight.
The villagers were touched by their love and reached out to donate money and materials.
When Xiao Li learned the news, he was moved to tears.
He never imagined that he would be so cared for.
On this day, he decided to change himself and face life bravely.
Xiao Li has limited mobility, but he has a grateful heart.
He wanted to repay the kindness of the old village chief and the villagers, and secretly made up his mind that no matter how hard he tried, he would let everyone see his changes.
Spring is coming, everything in the mountains is recovering, and Xiao Li has also started his new attempt.
He first used the donations given to him by the villagers to buy some chicken seedlings and started his attempt at raising chickens.
Although Xiao Li has difficulty moving, he takes care of each chicken carefully, getting up early and greedy every day, cleaning the chicken coop, feeding, and adding water, never stopping.
The people in the village were very relieved to see Xiao Li's persistence and hard work.
They often came over to help, giving Xiao Li guidance and encouragement.
As time passed, Xiao Li's chicks grew up and began to lay eggs.
When the chick grew up, he gave birth to eggs, and Xiao Li dragged his bulky body, took the eggs, and sent them to the people who helped him step by step.
Xiao Li was not satisfied with this, he wanted to go further and let himself help more.
At the suggestion of the old village chief, Xiao Li began to learn to grow vegetables and Chinese medicinal herbs.
He used his wisdom and the help of the people in the village to open up a small vegetable garden.
In spring, the vegetables in the vegetable garden are full of greenery, and Chinese medicinal herbs begin to thrive.
Xiao Li's face was filled with a smile of satisfaction and pride.
The old people in the village sighed when they saw Xiao Li's changes.
They know that Xiao Li's mobility difficulties have not stopped his determination and efforts, and his gratitude and love for life have made everyone feel warm and inspired.
Growing herbs requires professional knowledge, and Xiao Li has already finished knowing the varieties of herbs.
In the process of Xiao Li starting to learn to plant Chinese herbal medicines, he gradually realized that in order to really do a good job in the cultivation and processing of Chinese herbal medicines, enthusiasm and hard work are not enough, but also systematic knowledge and professional skills are needed.
He began to develop a strong interest in reading and was eager to improve himself through learning.
Xiao Li's wish was soon supported by the villagers.
The old village chief first expressed his encouragement, he said: "Xiao Li, we are very touched by your heart, but determination alone is not enough, you really need more knowledge to guide your practice, you go to study, we will support you." ”
Originally, the village chief was worried that Xiao Li would not dare to go to school because of his physical problems, but now Xiao Li has his own clear goals at a young age, and has become stronger, and going to school is the most important thing for children to do.
Xiao Li lived up to expectations and was admitted to the university with excellent grades all the way.
In college, Xiao Li enrolled in medicine, and he was hungry to learn about Chinese medicine.
He knew that he was carrying the expectations of the village, so he studied extremely hard.
He has taken courses in Chinese medicine planting, processing, and pharmacology, hoping to one day bring this knowledge back to his hometown and help the villagers improve their lives.
After graduating from university, Xiao Li returned to the village.
He brought with him a wealth of knowledge of Chinese medicine, and combined with the abundant local resources of Chinese herbal medicine, he began to guide the villagers to plant Chinese herbal medicine.
He taught everyone how to choose the right land, how to care for the seeds, how to care for the plants, and how to pick and process herbs.
As time passed, the area of Chinese herbal medicine in the village became larger and more varied.
The villagers not only learned to grow Chinese herbs, but also began to process them into various medicines that they could sell to other places.
The cultivation of Chinese herbal medicine has become the main economy of the village, and the lives of the villagers have been significantly improved as a result.
Xiao Li's dream gradually came true, and he not only changed his fate, but also led the villagers on the road to prosperity.
His story has become a legend in the village, inspiring generations to pursue knowledge and use their power to change lives and the world.
