No matter who encounters such a situation, he will feel that the world is falling apart, the dark clouds are overcast, and he is unable to recover. But with her strength and optimism, she bravely walked out of the pain, waited until the clouds cleared to see the sunrise, and successfully achieved a counterattack in life.

01. The sudden disaster made her miserable.
On May 12, 2008, Liao Zhi was sitting in the living room with her mother-in-law, entertaining her daughter with toys. Three generations of the family enjoy themselves happily.
Suddenly, the whole building shook violently, and the huge force threw her and her mother-in-law to a corner of the room. Her daughter was also thrown to the ground, crying in fear. The gravel on the roof fell loudly.
earthquake! She didn't have time to think about it, and immediately got up from the ground, stumbled towards her daughter, and wanted to hold her daughter and escape with her mother-in-law.
But with a huge rumbling sound, the building she was in collapsed. The three people, together with the collapsed floor slabs and steel bars, fell from the fourth floor and were buried in a pile of rubble.
When she woke up from a coma, she found that her lower body was buried in the rubble. After she endured severe pain and pulled her lower body out of the rubble, she realized that her calf had been pierced by a steel bar.
She didn't care about this. She called her daughter loudly and groped in the darkness with her hands. After a long time, I touched my daughter's little hand in a corner. But her daughter's hands were already cold, and her heart instantly fell into the ice cave. She knew her toddler daughter would never come back.
When she was still immersed in the grief of losing her daughter, her mother-in-law used her last strength to shout to her: "Save my little granddaughter..." and then there was no sound anymore.
She was alone in the darkness, quietly waiting for the arrival of death.
More than 20 hours later, she was pulled out of the rubble and sent to the hospital for rescue. The doctor told her that the only way to survive was to amputate both legs.
She started learning dance at the age of 4 and spent nearly 20 years on the stage. For such a dancer, losing her legs is more painful than losing her life.
However, she has always loved life and was strong and optimistic, so she still agreed to the amputation and signed the consent form for the operation in person. The dentist who performed the surgery on her asked her where to ampute the leg, and she said, "Leave as much as you can."
After the amputation, her husband sent the divorce agreement . Already numb from pain, she signed the divorce agreement without saying anything.
02. The fleeting opportunity allowed her to regain her confidence.
While she was hospitalized, Ren Honglin, the director of the 58th Miss World Chongqing competition, saw her story through the media and came from thousands of miles away to visit her.
After meeting Liao Zhi, Director Ren was deeply attracted by the outstanding-looking, optimistic and strong girl in front of him. He tried to ask Liao Zhi: "If I gave you a chance now, would you still want to continue dancing?"
She originally thought she would never be able to dance again, but she couldn't help being stunned by the question. She asked in disbelief: "Can I still dance like I am now?"
Director Ren encouraged firmly: "As long as you want, there's nothing wrong with it. I'm going to plan a large party. If you want to participate, I'm very welcome."
This kind of thing Once-in-a-lifetime opportunities are fleeting. Without any hesitation, she immediately followed Director Ren's request and tried to do a kneeling dance move.
You must know that it has only been more than a month since she had the amputation surgery, and the wound has not completely healed. She endured the severe pain and completed the kneeling motion. Big beads of sweat rolled down her forehead. She knew that if she didn't succeed this time, she might never have the chance to step on her beloved stage again in this life.
After more than a month of devilish training, at the finals of the 58th Miss World Chongqing Division, Liao Zhi wore a red dance skirt, knelt on a special red drum, and sang with a song named "Inspiration". The dance amazed the audience and the performance was a great success.
This performance not only allowed her to regain her confidence, but also became an instant hit. She became an "inspirational goddess" in people's minds.
03. An unexpected love led her to successfully counterattack
After the wound was completely healed, if she wanted to stand up again, she would need to install a prosthetic limb. After the amputation, she weighed only over 50 kilograms. She had to install a pair of nearly 30 kilograms of prosthetic legs, so you can imagine how difficult it was to practice walking.
’s difficulty in maintaining balance often caused her to fall with bruises all over her body; the friction between her broken limbs and her prosthetic limbs caused her heart-piercing pain; and the strange looks from passers-by often made her hesitate.
Should I lie comfortably in a wheelchair for the rest of my life and never stand up again, or should I grit my teeth and push through the difficulties and stand up again? Liao Zhi chose the latter.
Luck often favors those who bravely face misfortune and persevere.
In 2013, Liao Zhi needed a pair of more flexible prosthetics because he was going to participate in a CCTV program. Accompanied by her mother, she came to a prosthetic company in Shanghai. The person who received her was a Chinese-American named Charles, who graduated from Northwestern University and is an expert in prosthetic design.

After marriage, Charles doted on Liao Zhi like a little princess. He designed prosthetic limbs for her for various occasions, walked with her, carried her on his back, and helped her deal with the various emotions caused by amputation, divorce and the death of his daughter. knot, making her live in joy and happiness.
In September 2016, they had a daughter, and in September 2018, they had a son. A family of four is full of happiness.
In 2020, the couple founded "Morning Star Home" together to provide professional prosthetic services for people with disabilities. She not only updates her daily life and dance videos on social platforms, but also publishes her own books. Successfully achieved a counterattack in life.
Some people say: Physical disability is not terrible, but mental disability is terrible. Scars can grow on the body, but not on the heart.
Some people also say: Everyone may encounter a dark cloud above their head, bringing violent storms, but when the wind stops and the rain stops and the dark clouds disperse, the sun will shine behind them and the rainbow will reflect the sky.
Liao Zhi said: "There are cracks in everything, and that is where the light comes in. Everyone has ups and downs in life, and it is precisely because of these cracks that light can come into his life."
