She Yan’s life story

“My road is not on the small road that children walk on, and my road is not on the wide road where cars run. When I go up the mountain, I like to walk my own way, and when I go down the mountain, I sing with the birds. If you are willing to walk on my road, you will hear me and the birds singing. No matter how long the road is, you will not feel tired. Yan's autographed article "My Road"

The little girl's name is She Yan. (1996.11.30-2005.8.22)

The eight-year-old girl’s epitaph: I have been here, I am very good

The occurrence of this story touched many people. Makes sense.

This is a little girl named She Yan. She has big bright eyes and a clear childlike heart. She is an orphan with only one "dad" who adopts her.

Adopted by "adopted father"

On November 30, 1996, it was October 20 of that year in the lunar calendar, because "father" She Shiyou was beside a small bridge in Shenjiachong, Yongxing Town. When the newborn baby was found dying of cold in the grass, she found a small piece of paper stuck in her chest, which read: "October 20th, 12 o'clock in the evening."

I live in Sichuan She Shiyou, from Group 2 of Yunya Village, Sanxing Town, Shuangliu County, was 30 years old at the time. Because her family was poor, she could not find a suitable partner. If she wanted to adopt this child, no one would be willing to marry her into the family. Looking at the baby crying like a kitten in his arms, She Shiyou put it down and picked it up several times, turned away and looked back. This little life was already cold and crying weakly. If no one cared about it, he would die at any time! Gritting his teeth, he picked up the baby again and sighed: "You can eat whatever I eat."

She Shiyou named the child She Yan because she is in the autumn harvest season. child born. A single man became a father. He had no breast milk and could not afford milk powder, so he had to feed her rice soup. This made She Yan frail and sickly since she was a child, but she was very well-behaved and sensible. Spring went and spring came back again, like a little flower on a bitter vine, She Yan grew up day by day, and became surprisingly smart and well-behaved. The neighbors said that the doll they picked up had a high IQ and they all liked her. Although she has been sick since she was a child, She Yan grew up slowly amid her father's fear.

Children who have a hard life are indeed extraordinary. From the age of 5, she has known how to help her father share the housework. She does laundry, cooking, and mowing the grass well. She knows that she is different from other children. Similarly, children in other families have a father and a mother, but there are only her and her father in her own family. The family must be supported by her and her father. She must be very good and obedient, so as not to make her father a little more worried or angry.

When she entered elementary school, She Yan knew that she had to be studious and motivated, and that she would be the first in the exams, so that her illiterate father would be honored in the village. She had never let her father down. She sang to her father, told him all the interesting things that happened in school, and carefully posted every little red flower she got on the wall. Occasionally, she would naughtily defeat her father with debut questions... Whenever she watched Seeing the smile on her father's face, she would secretly think with satisfaction: "Although I can't have a mother like other children, I am very happy to be able to live happily with my father."

Diagnosed with COVID-19 Illness

Starting in May 2005, she had frequent nosebleeds. One morning, She Yan was about to wash her face when she suddenly noticed that a basin of water turned red. She saw that blood was dripping from her nose. No matter what measures she took, it could not be stopped. There was nothing she could do, so She Shiyou took her to the township health center for an injection, but the small puncture of the needle was bleeding, and there were a lot of "red dots" on her legs. The doctor said, "Hurry up and go to a big hospital!" came to Chengdu University. The hospital was at the peak of consultations, and she couldn't be scheduled for a round. Sitting alone on the bench and holding my nose, the nosebleeds fell straight down like two lines, staining the floor red. He felt embarrassed, so he had to pick up a bedpan to catch the blood. In less than 10 minutes, the basin was half filled with blood.

When the doctor saw this, he quickly took the child for examination. After the examination, the doctor immediately issued a critical illness notice to him. She has "acute leukemia"!

The medical expenses for this disease are very expensive, generally costing 300,000 yuan! Shiyou She was stunned.

Looking at his daughter on the hospital bed, he couldn't think too much. He only had one thought: save his daughter! He borrowed money from relatives and friends, but the money he scraped together was just a drop in the bucket. He was too far away from 300,000 yuan. He decided to sell the only adobe house in his family that could be exchanged for money. However, because the house was too dilapidated, he could not find a buyer for a while.

Looking at her father’s melancholy eyes and thinning face, She Yan always had a sad feeling. Once, She Yan held her father's hand, and tears came out before she could say anything: "Dad, I want to die..."

Her father looked at her with a pair of shocked eyes: "You are only 8 years old. , why do you want to die?"

"I am a picked-up baby. Everyone says that my life is cheap and I cannot afford this disease. Let me be discharged from the hospital..."

My father was dejected. He sat on the chair and remained silent for a long time. "Dad, can I live until autumn? I want to die in autumn. I came from autumn. In autumn, there are red beans, linden trees, and acres of golden corn and wheat in front of the house. When I die, I will die. I was buried on the back hillside. I didn’t want to leave my father..."

Voluntarily gave up treatment

On June 18, 2005, 8-year-old She Yan replaced her illiterate father at the She signed her medical record one stroke at a time: "Voluntarily giving up the treatment of She Yan."

After returning home that day, She Yan, who had never made any request to her father since she was a child, this time She made two requests to her father: she wanted to wear a new dress and take a photo. She explained to her father: "In the future, if I am gone, if you miss me, you can look at me in the photo."

The next day, Dad asked his aunt to accompany She Yan to the town. He spent 30 yuan to buy She Yan two sets of new clothes. She Yan chose a set of pink short-sleeved shorts. A white dress with red dots was chosen for her. She tried it on and couldn't bear to take it off. The three of them came to the photo studio. She Yan was wearing new pink clothes, making V-sign gestures with her hands, smiling hard, but in the end she couldn't help but shed tears.

She can no longer go to school. She stands on the path in front of the village carrying her schoolbag for a long time, her eyes always wet.

If it were not for a reporter named Fu Yan from the "Chengdu Evening News", She Yan would be like a quietly falling leaf, quietly floating down in the wind.

Leave quietly, just as you come quietly

In the early morning of August 20, 2005, she asked Fu Yan: "Auntie, tell me, why do they want to donate to me?"

"Because they are all kind people."

"Auntie, I am also a kind person."

"You are naturally a kind person. Kind People will become kinder if they help each other."

Lying on the hospital bed, he wrote a three-page "Suicide Note" with a pencil. Because the child is too young, some words cannot be written yet, and there are some typos.

The gastrointestinal bleeding soon worsened, and the doctors and nurses urgently gave her blood and fluid transfusions... Seeing She Yan's unbearable abdominal pain and pain, the doctors and nurses cried. Everyone was willing to help her share the pain, but they tried every means. The solution still doesn't help.

She Yan's abdominal pain was unbearable. She begged all the doctors and nurses: "Let me die, I feel uncomfortable..." The doctors and nurses comforted her and asked her to persist. Soon Just fine.

After she stopped breathing, the doctors still spared no effort to save her for 80 minutes, but in the end they could not save this young life. 8-year-old little She Yan finally escaped the ravages of the disease and passed away peacefully.
