In the ward of a hospital in Kunming, Yunnan, 63-year-old Zhang Shaolan was taking care of her grandson with cerebral palsy. Her daughter-in-law and son left home one after another. Her wife passed away three years ago. In the following years, Zhang Shaolan took her grandson to seek medical treatment. Her biggest wish was that her grandson could take care of herself in the future, but the reality was so difficult. The picture shows Zhang Shaolan accompanying her grandson for treatment.
Speaking of my wife, Zhang Shaolan's eyes were moist. In 2018, her husband reached the end of his life due to illness for too long. At the last moment of his life, my wife refused to close her eyes. She held Zhang Shaolan's hand tightly in front of the hospital bed, and told intermittently: "His parents don't want children anymore, and I can't stand it anymore. It's all up to you in the future. We must find a way out for our grandson." Zhang Shaolan collapsed and nodded vigorously, crying.
Zhang Shaolan lives in a poor mountain village in Kunming City, Yunnan Province. She originally had a happy family, but everything changed after her grandson Cheng Jingqiang was diagnosed with severe illness. Qiangqiang was already 4 years old at that time, but he was still unable to walk and could not speak. The son and daughter-in-law took him to the hospital for examination. After returning from the hospital, the couple did not reveal to their families what the examination was. However, since then, Zhang Shaolan found that his daughter-in-law's attitude towards the children had changed a lot, and she cared less and less about Qiangqiang. The picture shows Zhang Shaolan’s grandson Qiangqiang.
Time passed day by day, and Qiangqiang's condition became more and more obvious. But one day, my daughter-in-law suddenly ran away from home. Zhang Shaolan didn't understand why a good family scattered. She contacted her daughter-in-law from multiple sources, but she didn't expect her to tell the truth to her: "The child has cerebral palsy and will not be cured in his life. I can't go back, so don't come to me again in the future." After hearing what her daughter-in-law said, Zhang Shaolan was stunned. She was unable to persuade her daughter-in-law and returned home in a daze. The picture shows Zhang Shaolan worrying about her grandson's future.
Who knew that at this moment, a bigger blow suddenly came. After the daughter-in-law left home, the son also left the house on the grounds of working and never came back.
Old man Zhang Shaolan looked at his grandson in front of him, feeling sad. Because of his cerebral palsy, he was unable to go to school, unable to communicate with others, and he also let his parents leave him alone. What kind of evil is this to be done? Zhang Shaolan burst into tears in an instant. Nowadays, without the strong man of his parents, only Zhang Shaolan and his wife can rely on. If they don’t want him and don’t save him, what should Qiangqiang do? Zhang Shaolan began to inquire about how to treat cerebral palsy. After inquiring for a while, he learned that cerebral palsy needs to be treated with long-term treatment to recover slowly. The only way they can save Qiangqiang is to ask him to do rehabilitation treatment . The picture shows Qiangqiang lying on the hospital bed.
Zhang Shaolan couldn't care about so much. She was willing to do anything for her grandson. She and her husband decided to raise money to send their grandson to the hospital for treatment. They were thinking about how to make up enough money for their grandson's treatment. They thought about it and sold all the money they could exchange for at home. They even sold the only animals who could work in the fields. They pieced together and finally raised some money. Afterwards, Zhang Shaolan took the money and took her grandson to the hospital to start rehabilitation treatment.
After being admitted to the hospital, Qiangqiang has to undergo a series of examinations, and then do various rehabilitation training, train language, increase muscle strength through massage, acupuncture, etc., and there are many trainings that Zhang Shaolan has never seen before. In this way, she was busy behind her grandson every day. Her grandson was very naughty. Even though her legs and feet were weak, she would still run around. Zhang Shaolan was old and moved slowly, so she could only call her grandson loudly. Because of his poor hearing, Zhang Shaolan spoke very loudly. When he chased his grandson, he always cried and told Qiangqiang: "Don't run around, what should you do if you run away? How can you let grandma live?" The picture shows that Zhang Shaolan is helping his grandson receive treatment.
During the treatment of the hospital, Zhang Shaolan had to go back several times upstairs in the hospital a day. For her sixties, she consumed a lot of physical strength, but she often said: "Although the treatment process is very hard, as long as the treatment is effective, she feels that all the efforts are worth it." After several months of treatment, Qiangqiang made great changes and walked more steadily. Although she could not speak normally, she could simply express her thoughts. Zhang Shaolan was very pleased. After several months of treatment, she had already spent all the money she brought. Without money, Qiangqiang could not continue the treatment, so Zhang Shaolan had to take her grandson home. The picture shows Zhang Shaolan grabbing her grandson who suddenly rushed out.
After returning home, Zhang Shaolan also learned from the doctor's technique to help Qiangqiang massage, and taught him to speak in clumsy words. But this did not work, but it backfired. Not only did it not improve Qiangqiang's condition, but it made him worse and worse. Zhang Shaolan was very panicked. While inquiring about the treatment of cerebral palsy, she borrowed money from relatives and friends. However, the result was that there was no good way, and she couldn't borrow much. Seeing her grandson's increasingly serious condition, they decided to save money to send him to treatment. The picture shows Zhang Shaolan putting shoes on his grandson that he lost.
was saving money to treat Qiangqiang. In 2018, Zhang Shaolan's wife fell ill due to overwork, and she was reluctant to go to see her when she was sick. She said she wanted to leave the money for Qiangqiang for treatment. The child's grandfather's condition was delayed again and again, and eventually developed into cerebral infarction . The rescue did not save her wife's life.
After her wife left, Zhang Shaolan cried all day long and had the heart to go with her wife. However, she couldn't bear to leave this unattended grandson. In the end, she could only grit her teeth and persevere, hoping that one day the child could speak and call her grandma, and she was satisfied at that time. The picture shows the two grandparents and grandchildren in the ward.
was abandoned by her son and daughter-in-law, and her husband who was with her side also left. A series of accidents hit Zhang Shaolan, and her heart was already full of holes. The grandson was Zhang Shaolan’s only hope. She accompanied Qiangqiang to grow up day by day, but because of the lack of continuous treatment, Qiangqiang’s condition became more serious.
Just when she was at a loss, in April 2020, she received a call from the hospital saying that Qiangqiang could get some medical subsidy in his current situation and reduce some fees. After listening to the doctor's words, Zhang Shaolan seemed to have obtained a ticket to happiness, and was so happy that she couldn't stop hiding. She then borrowed money from relatives, friends and neighbors next door again. In this way, she took her grandson back to the hospital. The picture shows Zhang Shaolan and his grandson sitting on the steps to rest.
Although strong treatment can reduce some treatment costs, the treatment time is relatively long and it still requires a lot of money to support it. She had to ask her son who was working far away from home for money, but her son either said that he had no money or said that the child would only make ends meet the expenses and drag down his family. Zhang Shaolan was shocked when she heard her son's words. Her son's indifference surprised her. Although she understood that it was difficult for her son to work outside, no matter how difficult it was, she could not give up her own flesh and blood.
Zhang Shaolan really has no choice but to save money. When I was in the hospital, I only ate the rest of my grandson every day. If there was no left, I could only go hungry. I was hungry every day. When she got home, she went to the vegetable market to pick up the leftover vegetables from others and cooked them home. Zhang Shaolan said: "As long as Qiangqiang can recover, these are nothing. The child is now 8 years old. Although he has improved after treatment, he still cannot speak or go to school. I am still waiting for him to call him grandparents and send him to school." Zhang Shaolan said while crying. The picture shows a strong man.
Qiangqiang spent too much money on treatment over the years and owed a lot of foreign debts. Zhang Shaolan's hearing gradually declined under fatigue. Since she has no source of income to take care of her grandson and her son does not transfer money to her family, she doesn't know what to do to welcome her grandson's hope. The picture shows Zhang Shaolan talking about her wife and grandson, feeling heavy.
After reading the story of Zhang Shaolan's family, the editor was sympathetic and was also angry at the way the old man's son and daughter-in-law were doing. Both parents, Zhang Shaolan and his son and daughter-in-law made different choices. What do you think about this? Welcome to comment and leave comments.
