Regarding ethnic unity in Xinjiang, it is best to have examples. I hope everyone can help and don’t plagiarize, otherwise everyone will say the same thing, haha

In Jibuku Town, Qitai County, Xinjiang, there is a Han girl. She was adopted by a Kazakh family 20 years ago, so she got the Kazakh name "Merziyi".

"Merziyi" means "happiness" in Chinese. For a severely disabled Han abandoned child who was ruthlessly abandoned by her biological parents, she lives in a Kazakh family that cares about her. Erziyi is undoubtedly happy, but raising her, Ho'ehayi and Biyitaikan, have put in unimaginable hardships for her.

On October 4, 1989, Huo'ehayi's 17-year-old eldest son picked up a bundle while herding sheep. There was a crying baby girl in it. He took the child home and gave it to his parents. . I opened the bag and saw a small note that said: This is a 10-month-old Han girl. If any kind person picks it up, please adopt her properly. Please. A closer look revealed that the baby girl had a gap in her lip. She turned out to be a disabled child with a "harelip", but they decided to adopt her anyway.

The next day, the Hoeghayi couple invited relatives, neighbors, and friends to slaughter a sheep according to Kazakh customs, and held a grand ceremony at home as if they had given birth to a child. Relatives and friends shook their heads when they saw Merzi Yi. Some said: Don't raise this child, it will become a burden in the future. Others said: You are not rich either, so why are you raising disabled children that others don’t want? You will regret it in the future!

At that time, the Huo'ehai couple already had six children, four of whom were in school. The family only had 20 acres of land and 50 sheep. The family's annual income was only more than 3,000 yuan, and life was very difficult. In the face of opposition, they remained unwavering.

Merziyi received more care and love than other children in this Kazakh family. When there is delicious food in the house and new clothes are to be bought, always give them to her first. After saving some money, the Ho'ehayi couple took Merziyi to the hospital. I wanted to cure the "hare lip" and have a healthy child. Unexpectedly, upon examination, it was found that Merziyi also suffered from severe congenital epilepsy and intellectual disability. The doctor told the Ho'ehayi couple: It would be good for the child to survive. It is very unlikely that she can be completely cured.

The extent of Merziyi's disability far exceeded their imagination. Even so, the Hoeghayi couple still did not waver or give up. In order to treat Merziyi, for 17 years, they carried her around to seek medical treatment and made countless hardships. Wrinkles covered Huoerhayi's face, and Biyitaikan bent over with fatigue. Families also fell into poverty. When there is no money for medical treatment, the sheep can only be sold; when the sheep are sold out, the sheep can be borrowed from relatives and friends. In order to save money, every time they carried Merziyi on their backs for medical treatment, they always brought Nang with them. They never entered a restaurant or stayed in a hotel. The high cost of treatment left them heavily in debt, with the debt sometimes reaching more than 30,000 yuan.

In October 1996, Merziyi suffered a severe epileptic seizure, and Biyitaikan had to take her to the county hospital for hospitalization. When Merziyi was out of danger and was discharged from the hospital, Biyitaikan only had one yuan and a small piece of naan left on him. Without money to take a bus, Biyitaikan had to walk 10 kilometers home with Merziyi on his back. Biyitaikan, who was already very weak, had not eaten a bite of naan or drank a sip of water for more than 10 hours, and passed out when he returned home. .

In 1994, in order to earn some money to treat Merziyi's illness, the Ho'ehayi couple helped herd sheep in the winter pasture. Carrying Merziyi on his back, Biyitaikan braved the severe cold of more than 30 degrees below zero, kneeling in the snow with his hands digging for grass. After more than 20 days, Biyitaikan suffered from severe arthritis. .

Due to severe disability, Merziyi developed much slower than normal children. Although he could barely walk at 7, it can be said that he grew up on the back of his mother Biyitaikan. In 2005, Merziyi's epilepsy was finally cured and she has never had another seizure, but her other symptoms have not improved at all.

The Huo'ehayi couple's action of never abandoning a disabled and abandoned Han baby moved their relatives and friends. The villagers extended a helping hand one after another, and the leaders of the village and town governments also paid attention. In 2007, the Huo'ehayi couple finally paid off their debt. With the help of the Disabled Persons' Federation, the town government and the villagers, they built a new house and lived a happy life.

Merziyi is 20 years old this year. She still cannot speak, has no ability to take care of herself, and cannot live without her mother. She is like a baby who will never grow up. But the Ho'ehayi couple have no regrets at all about their move to adopt Merziyi 20 years ago and the countless hardships they went through in their 20-year comeback.

Nowadays, the Ho'elhayi couple, who are over 60 years old, are most worried about Merziyi's future life. Xue Jianping, deputy secretary of Jibuku Town, Qitai County, said: Even if the Ho'ehayi couple cannot take care of Maierziyi in the future, the government will ensure that Maierziyi has enough food and clothing.
