Tell the story of three disabled people in Heyuan who are constantly striving for self-improvement

In Heyuan city, there are several stories of disabled people who are physically disabled and determined to strengthen themselves. Their survival is more difficult than normal people, and they have to work harder than normal people to reap the fruits. What is told here is the story of three disabled people, and the process of their groping for the way to survive and finding their own survival value. ...

Story 1: Blind people practice pig-raising stunts.

Chen Xintian is a villager in Yusheng Village, Puqian Town, Yuancheng District, Heyuan City.

With a strong will, he mastered a stunt of raising pigs for the blind by smelling, listening and touching in the dark. Together with his younger brother who suffers from severe amblyopia, he raises nearly 400 pigs every year, and also helps five disabled people around him to raise pigs to get rich. In August last year, he was elected president of Heyuan Blind Association.

1975, Chen Xintian is blind. But he is not discouraged and has been looking for a way of self-improvement. Raising one or two pigs is a traditional sideline of every farmer. Chen Xintian decided to start with raising pigs. He raised money to buy some pigs. After a year, his income not only cultivated land, but also inspired his fighting spirit to survive.

It is much more difficult for blind people to raise pigs than normal people. Chen Xintian needs to touch the pig trough, pig body and pig manure with his hands to master the temperature and diet of pigs. Every day, he holds the wall, fumbles to prepare feed, stirs pig food and pumps water ... He feeds a dozen pigs every day and fumbles for more than ten times, which takes more than 1 hour. He finally "touched" a set of pig-raising techniques unique to the blind. His hands can feel which pig is healthy, which pig is sick, which pig has not gained weight and which pig is ready to be slaughtered. He can listen to the pig's cries, smell the pigsty, touch the pig's belly, judge the pig's condition and give the pig an injection to take medicine.

Cadres of the Disabled Persons' Federation in Yuancheng District often help him. As long as there is a pig training class in the town, he will be informed to attend it. 1994, he discussed with his brother with severe amblyopia to expand the scale of pig raising. The chairman of Yuancheng Disabled Persons' Federation sent an interest-free loan of 10000 yuan, and they also raised funds to buy more than 100 piglets. My brother's eyes can see things within ten feet, and he can drive a motorcycle to buy feed, pigs and pig medicine slowly. Tian said: "Usually, you have to kill a pig every day, and you can sell it for more than 800 yuan. Kill more pigs during the Spring Festival. A year later, nearly 400 pigs killed and sold themselves. " The Disabled Persons' Federation of Yuancheng District helped them obtain the consent of the departments of industry and commerce, taxation and so on, let them sell pork at their doorstep, and also reduced taxes.

Now Chen Xintian's two brothers are very rich in raising pigs, and they also help five disabled people raise pigs. Helping the disabled is what Chen Xintian's brothers are most willing to do. If the disabled people nearby have difficulties or worries, they should consult with Chen Xintian's brothers. Chen Xintian helped the paraplegic poor households, Huang Liandi, and gave them autotrophic pork. Yuancheng Disabled Persons' Federation also established Chen Xintian's home as a "home for the disabled". Last year, Tian submitted an application for joining the Party to the local village party branch, which was absorbed as preparation for party member.

In April this year, Chen Xintian came back from the provincial capital and participated in the first training course for the chairman of Guangdong Disabled Persons' Federation. He told the author that in the training class, he learned that 65438+ 10/5 this year is the International Day for the Blind, and he was thinking about what to do for the blind in Heyuan, and he was thinking about the revision of the law on the protection of the disabled in China. ...

Story 2: Designing advertisements by operating a computer with one hand.

Su, a computer typesetter of a company in Heyuan City, has a monthly salary of 1 0,000 yuan. This is not easy for a 28-year-old boy with a third-degree disability with only one right hand.

He sharpened a pencil with his knee, tied the palette to his left hand with a rope, and tapped the keyboard with his right hand, thus successfully completing the study of arts and crafts design and having the ability to settle down.

He worked in this company for three years, editing pictures for a local newspaper, and also undertaking advertising design and photo album typesetting. Many of the works he designed and edited are his masterpieces. For example, all the advertisements of the first dragon boat race in Heyuan city the year before last had his share of sweat, and designing these advertisements was his hardest day. Facts have proved that he is no worse than others.

Speaking of the hardships of finding a job just after graduation, his face showed some helplessness. After months of door-to-door inquiries and job advertisements, many companies considered the materials, but once they saw a person and found that his hand was disabled, they turned him away. However, he was not discouraged and was finally hired as a computer picture editor by an advertising planning company. But after working for two months, the boss gave him 250 yuan's salary, which hit him hard. "At that time, I didn't consider the salary when I was looking for a job. I thought that as long as I have a job, but with this much less salary than the average person, I feel that this boss is bullying us disabled people! " He left his job in one fell swoop and went to another advertising company to do lettering and signboard installation, with a monthly salary of more than 500 yuan. Sometimes he has to carry a ladder to install billboards outdoors, which is quite difficult for him with only one hand. While doing this job, he is looking for a job that is more suitable for him. Finally, his chance came. He applied for a job as a computer design operator in Heyuan Zhengdong Color Printing Company. His excellent professional skills and skillful computer operation left a deep impression on his boss, and his monthly salary increased to more than 1000 yuan.

Story 3: Deaf and dumb people open a "Wanglai" barber shop.

Li Donglai, a deaf person, runs a barber shop in Heyuan City.

His world is silent, and it takes several times more efforts than ordinary people to open his own shop. He finally found his own way-he opened a barber shop called Wanglai on Nanmen Road in the city center.

Li Donglai's mother told us that when Li Donglai was two years old, she found that she couldn't learn to speak, and she didn't respond much to the sound. The conclusion of seeking medical treatment everywhere is incurable. The lovely child couldn't listen and couldn't speak, so the mother could only cry sadly. At the age of 9, his mother sent him to a school for the deaf. /kloc-when I graduated from primary school at the age of 0/5, my mother was ill in bed, and Xiaodong, who was sensible, shouldered the heavy responsibility of making money to support his family. He finally got a job in a plastic factory. After working for three months, I went to learn to weave rattan chairs. Li Donglai is willing to learn anything. He learned from his mother to install craft lights, repair electrical appliances and learn electric car clothes. /kloc-at the age of 0/8, Dong Li came to a factory in Shenzhen to work as a garment loader. Managers saw that it took him only half a day to get familiar with the business before agreeing to accept the deaf-mute person. Once, a batch of new goods came to the factory, and many old employees who had worked for 10 years could not do it well as required, but Li Donglai did it. When the boss learned about this, he said with emotion that even if there were 50 more deaf-mute people in the factory, he would not be afraid. Two years later, the factory stopped production, and Li Donglai returned to the plastic factory in Heyuan as an assembler and a car maintenance sand board worker. Deaf and dumb, I work hard and earn little money. Li Donglai's mother learned a trade with him before she settled down.

There happened to be a deaf-mute barber who promised to accept him as an apprentice. He was careful and clever, and soon mastered the basic skills. A few years later, he saved enough money to open his own barber shop, and a hair salon with only five or six square meters quickly flourished and became a place for deaf people to meet. In 200 1 year, he and five other deaf-mute people established the Deaf-mute Association, with Li Donglai as the vice president, which grew to 12 in the second half of that year.

His wife told us that their new store opened in April to expand its business scale. Li Donglai subscribes to China Disabled People magazine every year. He told us with a pen that his greatest wish is to do a good job in the deaf-mute association and do something for the deaf-mute.
