On June 26th, Wei Xiang, a disabled and poor Gansu examinee who scored well in the college entrance examination, sent a request to Tsinghua University through WeChat, hoping that Tsinghua would help him solve the accommodation difficulties so that he could take his mother who was dependent on each other to go to school in Tsinghua. This request not only got a response from Tsinghua at the first time, but also got a touching response from Tsinghua. The combination of the two letters touched many netizens at one time.
Beijing Youth Daily reporter learned from Tsinghua University yesterday that many Tsinghua alumni have provided financial support to Wei Xiang. According to the logistics department of Tsinghua, the school has prepared a single dormitory for Wei Xiang's mother and son, and the mother and son will stay free while studying in Tsinghua. At the same time, Tsinghua announced the launch of the "Hongyan Plan" yesterday to support students from poor families to participate in overseas exchanges, with a view to providing strong support for the all-round development and growth of children from poor families.
Have congenital diseases but never admit defeat.
Simple and honest smile, handsome appearance and simple language are Wei Xiang's first impressions. Wei Xiang, sitting in a chair, looks no different from ordinary people. But if you notice the crutch beside him, you will find that he is a teenager with congenital diseases.
Wei Xiang is 19 years old. As early as he 10 months old, he was diagnosed as congenital spina bifida with intraspinal cyst. Wei Xiang's mother, Xia Ruiyun, said that the disease caused the loss of motor function of his lower limbs. Wei Xiang underwent two operations at the age of 10 month and 1 year respectively, but his condition did not improve after operation.
Xia Ruiyun is a nurse in a local hospital. She has to take care of the patients in the hospital during the day and the small patients at home at night. Fortunately, it was hard to live with my lover before, but we both had each other as spiritual pillars and survived. When Wei Xiang was three and a half years old, they decided to let their children receive education: "They must go to school. With knowledge, they will broaden their horizons."
Young Wei Xiangsheng can't take care of himself. They go to kindergarten with their children in their arms or on their backs in the morning, pick them up for dinner at noon and send them in the afternoon. A family living alone doesn't feel how hard life is. But fate seems to have been "competing" with them. In 2005, Xia Ruiyun's lover died of illness, leaving a helpless and physically disabled child.

Wei Xiang's deeds are inspiring, and Tsinghua University's response is respectable. We should also see that how to make more difficult cases like Wei Xiang find support and help in the lonely journey may not depend entirely on the helpless request of the parties. For people who have been in trouble for a long time, it takes a lot of courage to ask for help like Wei Xiang. Obviously, we can't just wait for how to make the network of relevant national support policies more dense and really play a good role. There should be more measures and more detailed measures.
