DISABLED PEOPLE INTERVIEW Li Yixuan, from Xi'an, Shaanxi. Beautiful and capable is everyone’s first impression of Li Yixuan. She is tall and has long gray-blue wavy hair, free and unique. She has a silhouette suit and a pair of sports white shoes. She walks with only a little stiff pace, but she is very fast. If you don’t look carefully, you can’t tell what is the difference between her and a normal person. "I can't tell if I'm not disabled, right?" Li Yixuan smiled. She lifted up the trouser legs of her right leg, and a scar 40 cm from her knee to the base of her thigh was in her eyes. She was a little shy and said with a smile that she was a child who grew up in a single-parent family. All the problems of single-parent families such as family violence, poverty, abandonment, and have also experienced it. But even so, my parents whom I love deeply, from beginning to end, right. Throughout, although they didn’t take care of their daughters, I was taking care of them when they grew up, as if they became my children. I live with my father now, and wherever he is, my home is. "Heaven will give great responsibility to this person, and he must first suffer his will "
Q1
Is your journey of study smooth? Is it your school experience that has made it happen now?
A1
"I think this world is fair, or there is no fairness in the world at all. To sit with others, you need your own efforts. Knowledge is my back. When I don't have it, I am always afraid, and I don't know what I am afraid of. I have worked since high school, and a lot of my energy and time are devoted to "making money". In 2006, I was working in a school store due to family financial difficulties. At that time, I had to pay full salary of 850 yuan. The department saved up to pay the later tuition fees, and studied while working. After all, it failed many subjects at the end of the semester. I think this is not a way to observe the operating conditions of many industries on campus. I borrowed 40,000 yuan a year later and started my own entrepreneurial journey. Later, on the road of self-employment, I also felt that the lack of cultural knowledge brought various obstacles. Later, I continued to study relevant knowledge while working and obtained relevant degrees in finance and management. "
Q2
How did you become a disabled person? What impact will it have on your life?
A2
"I was diagnosed with osteosarcoma on December 10, 2009. I will always remember that day. I was originally planning to go south to work after graduating from college. But I went to check my body because my front leg hurts on the train. I went there for two years and lived in the hospital for two years. Every day it was surgery, chemotherapy, and rehabilitation. I didn't have time to be sad, I just wanted to live. I would get up every day and look at the windows of the hospital. Looking at everyone in the world, it seemed that they were covered with a layer of membrane and could not penetrate. This feeling was strange and a little sad, but there was no way to change. Why are these people's behaviors so different? Isn't it? Because the world they came to is so different?
If so, then I will live harder and harder and push myself to that normal world. "
Q&A
"Have titanium alloy is actually cool, right? "
"Now, because it is a replacement prosthesis, it is inevitable that it will be different from normal people , but people will die, flowers will fade, and things that seem valuable are actually meaningless. Others are ashes a hundred years later, but I have titanium alloys, which is actually cool, right? She said lightly that at first she couldn't accept physical disability and didn't want others to treat her as a disabled person. Now more than 10 years have passed, and she can already accept her imperfection."
Q3
Why did you choose to start a business later? Isn't it easier to go to work?
A3
" The original intention of starting a business is very simple, it is to cure the disease. 400,000 yuan was consumed in two years, a large part of which was borrowed. Not only the early expenses, the prosthesis I use also needs to be replaced every 10 years. Every ten years, you have to prepare at least 200,000 yuan for replacement of prosthesis and surgery. Medical devices cannot be subject to medical insurance. I have no choice but to start a business. When I was in college, I used the 40,000 yuan I borrowed from, and opened a milk tea shop called " Seven Cups Tea " on campus. After three years of operation, I achieved a net profit of more than 100,000 yuan per year. After 3 years, it will be sold from the brand to the store. In 2013, I planned to open a store with the 70,000 yuan I borrowed from a friend. She opened a Western restaurant in Pucheng, and the response was very good and brought her profits. I want to continue to grow bigger and take over the hotel where the restaurant is located to do it myself. She took over 3 million yuan and took over the hotel with all her gamble. Under her management, the hotel also flourished, with an annual profit of about 1.2 million yuan. In addition, the profit of the Western restaurant, I paid off all my foreign debts in just 1 year and 8 months.
slowly accumulated my first pot of gold. "
Q4
The first time you did such a big project, you encountered the epidemic. What impact did this have on you? What plans do you have in the future?
A4
" The sudden outbreak of the epidemic in 2020 swept across the entire China economy, and the impact of the tourism industry was the worst. During this period, countless people advised me to give up, but I have never been a complainer. The impact of the epidemic is not just about one store, one industry. The overall environment has entered the post-epidemic era, and the hope that 2021 has been completely shattered when the wave of epidemics arrives in August. At that moment, I understood that I had to make a choice. I can find various excuses for myself to bow my head to life, or I can force myself to live a better life. Everyone thinks it’s pitiful that I encountered such a thing just after starting a business. Why do I feel pitiful? This is my life. I even want to thank it for it, it has to move forward in any situation. I have no way out, I can only keep trying to move forward.
The rise of the live broadcast industry seems to add some hope to life under the epidemic. By chance, I came into contact with the live broadcast industry. For the newbies on the Internet, she came up with a new idea: "It is difficult for disabled people to find a job. Since I have the ability, why can't I do what others can do?" It is precisely this idea that completely changed a large number of disabled people with difficulties in employment. In order to realize what I promised, I began to get in touch with the live broadcast industry step by step, and with the support of the Shaanxi Provincial Disabled Persons' Federation, I transformed the second floor of its Tangchao Smart Hotel into a live broadcast training base. Her original intention is actually very simple: "Because I am also a disabled person, I understand their needs better. All I can do is to build a better and more professional platform for them, and I hope they can also make more money through their own efforts."
Q5
Finally, let’s share your experience?
A5
Experience Let’s look at the entrepreneurial tycoons. I, a business novice, can only talk about what my mentality has affected me. Because my family forced me to look deeper, I had the honor of seeing how all the tiny things ended up together and eventually formed the product, so I never asked why this is the case, why that is, why it is me, why it is not fair. I know why, this does not make me happy. Many times the things and people I encounter will make me feel sad, but I always have the courage to accept, I always have the courage to accept the facts, and I know I always want to leave my environment. The cruelty of life can make people at a loss, so some people are immersed in confusion all day long, unwilling to open their eyes to see the situation clearly, and unwilling to think about the small factors that accumulate together that cause this situation. I feel like letting go of the burden and letting it pass so that I can keep moving forward."
Q&A
From a girl who is unwilling to admit her identity with disabilities, to a woman who accepts herself and works hard, to a representative of a model entrepreneurial entrepreneurship for disabled people, Li Yixuan never stopped her steps. She doesn't want to describe herself as Nirvana and rebirth, but just wants to use her story to tell us - although life is sometimes cruel, as long as you are willing to move forward and drive the boat of life to the goal, you can Take advantage of your own wind and break the waves you want to break.
Life is sometimes cruel but don’t stop
