However, fate suddenly changed her face at a seemingly smooth moment and sent her from heaven to hell.
In the summer of 2004, Tang Zhanxin graduated from Coburg University of Technology in Germany with a master's degree. According to the plan, she will return to China in a few days. Before leaving, she made an appointment with her friends to visit the castle-Sch? nbrunn Palace, which is famous for Princess Sissi, in Vienna. This should be a relaxing and pleasant farewell trip.
Munich is more than 400 kilometers away from Vienna, and it takes about 5 hours by car. The journey was smooth. On the way back, Tang Zhanxin fell asleep. When she woke up from the violent impact, she found herself trapped in the car from the waist down, completely unable to move.
Rescue, helicopter, surgeon with moustache in operating room, ICU intensive care unit ...
The doctor told her that your operation was successful, but "the possibility that you can stand up in the future is lower than 10%, and you need to live in a wheelchair in the future". More unexpected pains followed: incontinence, lower limb muscle atrophy, various spasms, limb neuralgia, urinary system infection, and even inability to breathe normally. She is at a loss and exhausted, and her mind is often only blank with despair.
Parents came from China to do their best to take care of her, doctors constantly adjusted her treatment plan, nurses took care of her meticulously, comforted her and encouraged her, and her boyfriend never left to run for her. ...
However, all this seemed meaningless to Tang Zhanxin at that time. She felt trapped in a very deep abyss. Although many people reached out to save her, she couldn't catch it. She kept crying, as if only tears could dilute the fear of being confined to a wheelchair for life.
After the injury was stable, mom and dad took her back to China to continue her recovery. With the desire to stand up again, she received stem cell transplantation and went to Japan to train and use exoskeleton robots. All these failed, so I turned to acupuncture and massage of traditional Chinese medicine. One or two hundred needles are inserted into the cervical and coccygeal vertebrae every day. However, the effect is still zero.
The consequence of spinal cord injury is not only that the legs can't move, but also that the hands can't feel it. It seems that overnight, an adult in his twenties and thirties returned to zero, from nothing to nothing, and even all the trivial things in life depend on the help of others! This kind of life is really enough to make people tired of their existence. ...
This kind of day lasted for a long time. Mom and dad stayed with her all day, even talking carefully, for fear that something would upset her daughter. They are not afraid to take care of their daughter all the time. What is even more worrying is what they will do if they can't take care of her anymore.
One day, her father suddenly fell down when he took her out of the car. At that moment, looking at his father's suddenly old face, Tang Zhanxin's heart was stabbed. The kind girl deeply blames herself and feels that she can no longer let her parents worry about herself. She is determined to climb out of the abyss and find her own life again.
In the days between the hospital and the rehabilitation center, Tang Zhanxin saw too many very poor injured friends, and there was no hope in their eyes. Watching them live like walking corpses, just like watching themselves in a daze, she felt particularly sad. How she wished they could come out like themselves and regain their confidence in life.
Because of his own experience, Tang Zhanxin knows that for patients with spinal cord injury, life ability training is more important than medical rehabilitation if they want to get a normal life. Everything has to be learned from scratch. Learn to speak and take care of your life-get up, get dressed, urinate and use a wheelchair to walk instead of walking. I was injured below the lumbar spine, not the most serious kind, and my family's economic conditions are relatively good, so it is not easy to get out, not to mention those injured friends whose conditions are not as good as their own?
During this period, she met Du Peng who was disabled by spinal cord tumor, Li Xin who was disabled by a car accident and Li Bingnan, her husband who was disabled by training. Some of them are good at studying, while others are good at doing business. By this time, they all had a good life. But the pain of disability buried in their hearts makes them unable to ignore the pain of those injured friends and are determined to help them together. So, together, they sorted out the posts of tens of thousands of injured friends on the China Spinal Cord Injury Forum, translated hundreds of thousands of words of documents including WHO, Jefferson University and American Veterans Association, and sorted out a set of self-support training methods for injured friends, hoping to introduce the correct rehabilitation concept to everyone.
So, in 20 14, they gave up their respective jobs and, with the support of China Disabled Persons' Federation, China Disabled Persons' Federation and Beijing Dongcheng Disabled Persons' Federation, set up the first "halfway house" in Beijing to help the injured friends with spinal cord injuries who were disabled in the injury rebuild their lives and devote themselves to the cause of serving the injured friends.
In order to provide more professional services for injured friends, Tang Zhanxin and his party went to Taoyuan County, Taiwan Province Province for a three-month investigation at their own expense at the end of 20 14. Based on the rehabilitation training experience of patients with spinal cord injury in Taiwan Province Province for more than 20 years, a set of training courses with China characteristics, with "peer service" as the core, was designed: "life rehabilitation" training mode. The establishment of "Beijing Life Reconstruction Training Camp for Spinal Cord Injuries" aims to help injured friends learn all kinds of skills needed from medical rehabilitation to returning to their families and society, so as to achieve comprehensive physical and mental rehabilitation and reduce the burden on society and families.
The training camp is supported by the Rehabilitation Department of Beijing Disabled Persons' Federation and listed as a service purchased by the government. Since the official opening of the camp on March 28th, 20 15, the training camp has trained 50 injured friends, of whom 15 have been put into halfway houses, 3 have started their own businesses and 28 have achieved self-care. 20 16 the opening ceremony of the first phase of life reconstruction training camp for patients with spinal cord injury was also held on May 30th this year, and five sessions will be held this year, with target training 100 people.
Sun Xiaoyang is a student in the first life reconstruction training camp, and used to be a trumpet 9. Eight years ago, I was seriously injured in a car accident in expressway. When I first came here, I couldn't even solve my own problems. After a week or two of training, his self-care ability has improved a lot. With everyone's encouragement. He can even try to pick up the trumpet that sealed up the happy days of the past and dared not touch it for many years. At the graduation ceremony of the training camp, when Sun Xiaoyang played Verdi's Triumphal March, his mother couldn't help crying. Life reconstruction training not only exercised his ability, but more importantly, made him face the reality and dare to reconnect with the life rudely interrupted by fate. After graduation, Sun Xiaoyang made an appointment with a donkey friend to go to Japan for barrier-free travel, and also wrote a barrier-free travel guide for Japan. Now, he has joined Tang Zhanxin's team and is very happy to work here.
Life Reconstruction Training Camp is a free training program for injured friends. However, due to the limited understanding of it, it is a heavy task to find qualified injured friends to participate in the training camp. Due to the psychological trauma caused by years of closed life after injury, some injured friends dare not try new things. They are afraid of being cheated, dragging down their families, and going out alone and failing. He will find many reasons to shirk, because he doesn't want to come out. Tang Zhanxin and his friends make a lot of phone calls every year according to the list provided by the Disabled Persons' Federation, and go to hospitals and communities to find injured friends and tell them that you can do it.
To this end, she participated in CCTV2' s youth entrepreneurial inspirational program "Entrepreneurial Heroes" to let everyone know what life reconstruction is through TV, hoping to let more injured friends come out and get a new life.
On 20 14, Tang Zhanxin met Mr. Linda, who is also a member of the project evaluation and supervision committee of China Disabled Persons' Federation. Under her leadership, she forged a deep bond with the Lions Club, a charity volunteer organization. Teacher Linda, who suffered from severe rheumatoid arthritis since childhood, was one of the founders of the Beijing Youth Club for the Disabled, the first pioneering non-governmental organization for the disabled in China before the establishment of the China Disabled Persons' Federation. After retirement, she joined the Lions Club of China and carried out many meaningful activities to help the disabled.
Volunteers of the Lions Club played a great role in some activities of the halfway house. When the wheelchair model team is training and performing, the lions of the Lions Club will come to help with the training and do clothing matching, makeup and photography for them. When injured friends from other places come to Beijing to participate in the "Honey Fun Tour" activities, Lions Friends will contact the shuttle service to help the injured friends achieve barrier-free travel in Beijing for one day. Lions Club also donated 10000 yuan to print a part of "Life Self-help Manual for People with Spinal Cord Injury" and distribute it to injured friends free of charge. On 20 16, a lecture hall with blue ribbon was held to help the halfway house train professional speakers.
Lions in the Lions Club are of high quality. They usually have their own jobs and are keen on charity activities in their spare time. Tang Zhanxin admires the high organizational ability and professional standards of such a loosely related organization when holding large-scale events. Especially when lion friends do public welfare, they are very happy and fashionable, which makes her like it very much. She feels that she must learn more from them and be a professional and happy public welfare person.
The halfway house has been supported by the government and many caring people in the society, and it has been established smoothly, but there are also many problems. Among them, how to ensure the operating expenses of public institutions is becoming more and more prominent.
At present, the life reconstruction training camp has no fixed site and stable financial support. The current venue is coordinated by the Beijing Disabled Persons' Federation, and the services purchased by the government may not be available every year. These are all unstable factors. If you want to do it for a long time, you must find a way to solve it. In addition, the halfway house is a non-profit social service organization funded by the people, and the operating expenses of the organization must be solved by itself. The funds purchased by the government are also used exclusively for the life reconstruction project itself, excluding operating expenses, personnel salaries and so on. Most of the social donation funds also point to specific service projects, and the funds that can support the operating expenses of institutions are particularly small. From the beginning, Tang Zhanxin and his friends were serving the injured friends for free. However, with the development of services and the increase of workload, Tang Zhanxin's team is gradually expanding, and solving the funds for institutional operation has become a special concern for Tang Zhanxin now.
She said, I can not pay my salary at all, but what about the employees? The purpose of doing this is to make injured friends live a happy life, but I have no ability to make these people who serve others live a good life. They are the first people who are willing to pay. They deserve our respect, but I can't give them anything. I will feel particularly distressed when I see them.
So now she is trying to raise money everywhere, hoping to make her brothers and sisters live better. They have no obligation to help anyone, but love and kindness drive them to make such a great contribution. They don't want to repay, but Tang Zhanxin doesn't want to let them down.
When studying in the Development Center of Spinal Cord Injury Potential in Taoyuan County, Taiwan Province Province, Tang Zhanxin saw that there were social enterprises in their structure and their operation was very mature. She also wants to try to introduce commercial elements to form a long-term and stable source of funds and make the operation of life reconstruction projects healthier. However, due to the limited genes of the project itself, there is no way to achieve this goal. In this regard, she especially hopes to get more help and guidance from caring people and enterprises.
In "Entrepreneurial Heroes", Tang Zhanxin said: "Many people don't understand why you want to start a business. Your body is already like this. Why do you want to help others? What do you want? Whenever this time, I will think, this is the power of love, and this is the beauty we defend with our lives. With the help of others, my team and I have successfully come out of the pain, but more injured friends like us have not come out yet. We sincerely hope that through our own abilities, they can live better and be braver. "
This is the success she wants.
Let's listen to her favorite song:
I am as strong as you.
Go all out to pursue my dream.
Even if there is harm, even if there is a storm.
There will be a charming fragrance after the storm.
I am as kind as you.
Create a paradise for those in need.
Singing is wings, singing hope.
All efforts, just because of the power of love.
