Sang Lan, a famous gymnast, is called "King of Vaulting Horse" in China. However, this was before1June 65438+July 2 1998, and it was in the fourth gymnasium of Goodwill Games in new york, USA. It was just a pre-competition training and an accident. Sang Lan's unfinished handspring ended her gymnastics career, but she is still "famous" or even more "famous". What makes Sang Lan "famous" is her spirit, her perseverance and her eternal smile. 17 flower season, even the injured flowers are still beautiful.
Sang Lan's injuries were extremely serious: the fifth and seventh cervical vertebrae were open comminuted fractures, 75% of them were dislocated, the central nervous system was seriously damaged, and the consciousness of both hands and below the chest was lost. American nurses are very conscientious: from Nassau County Medical Center in Long Island to the most famous Monsenay Rehabilitation Center in downtown new york, medical experts have come up with the best treatment plan and used the best drugs. The world is extremely concerned about Sang Lan: local American officials and ordinary people who heard about it came to visit in an endless stream, and flowers filled Sang Lan's ward; Ms. Xie Xiaohong, the guardian entrusted by the Chinese Gymnastics Association, waited day and night, holding Sang Lan's hand in the most painful time; The people of the motherland have devoted endless affection and care,1200 million distant blessings have crossed the ocean ... but the best performance is Sang Lan: since she woke up, she has not shed a tear; From the moment she faced the public's eyes again, there was always a bright smile on her face. 17-year-old girl and 17-year-old innocent smile conquered the United States, conquered China and conquered the world ... 10 months later, Sang Lan, whose injury was basically stable, finally returned to her motherland that she missed day and night and continued to receive rehabilitation treatment at the China Rehabilitation Research Center.
This is a longer and more arduous process.
Sang Lan, hold on. She endured great pain and actively cooperated with the medical staff. Complications such as urinary and respiratory tract infections, pressure ulcers and scoliosis that may be caused by paraplegia have been effectively controlled and corrected. Postural hypotension has been relieved, joints have maintained good mobility, muscle strength has begun to recover, and the wheelchair has been able to swing far by itself. Sang Lan's self-care ability has been greatly improved. She can put on clothes, socks and shoes independently, eat, wash her face, brush her teeth and take a shower. She is learning English, can operate the computer and can complete the transition from wheelchair to bed.
Of course, what she actually accomplished was the transformation of roles. She is no longer a gymnast, nor even a paraplegic disabled person in general. She is a smiling girl 19 years old. She is a young life, full of longing and hope for a new life like ordinary people.
She is now a student in the middle school affiliated to Tsinghua University, the most famous university in China. The buds in the flower season are eagerly irrigated by human cultural knowledge. She has the kindness of human nature, and all kinds of rehabilitation equipment and daily necessities donated to her by all walks of life are donated to Beijing Pok Oi Hospital and disabled patients who are more in need and more difficult. As a humanitarian charity ambassador, she traveled all over the motherland with her disabled body, lit the torch of the Fifth China Paralympic Games in Shanghai, and raised money for mentally retarded children with Mr. Schwarzenegger in Shenzhen. Her behavior infected people. A prisoner wrote to her, and a young man who was doing nothing visited her by the bed. She answered and received her warmly.
19 years old, Sang Lan's beautiful life picture has just begun. She once fell and is now getting up.
A famous writer in China asked: How far is forever? Sang Lan, 19 years old, answered with her life experience: life is eternal, and smile is eternal.
