Care for paralyzed mother 405 for more than
Tan Weili, 63 years old this year, was once a soldier, has multiple family identities, is a daughter, a mother, and a grandmother of a 6-year-old child.
Before retirement, she was a financial staff member of the Shihezi Municipal Transportation Bureau of Xinjiang. After retirement, in order to help her mother relieve her condition and have a better elderly care environment, in 2016, she took the opportunity to move from Xinjiang to Doumen, Zhuhai to settle her home.
Tan Weili's mother was tired of work when she was young. She was paralyzed in bed in her early 40s. Her life problems were all taken care of by others. Tan Weili's father works in the army and often has to go on business trips, while her brother dies young, while her younger brother is busy with his own business every day, and a younger sister is doing business in Korea. The burden of taking care of her mother falls on her shoulders alone.
In 2016, Tan Weili moved from Xinjiang to Doumen, Zhuhai to settle her home.
"For many years, I have never slept well." She said that after the paralyzed mother's temper became sensitive and irritable, she carefully comforted her; when her mother was critically ill many times, she kept her mother feeding her mouthfuls of water and food; the old man could not turn over and had bedsores, she insisted on scrubbing her mother's body and doing physical recovery training.
In 2014, Tan Weili was diagnosed with rectal cancer. At the same time, she is nearly 60 years old and is also deeply troubled by taking care of the two elderly people. She tried to ask a nurse to take care of the elderly at home, but was rejected by her mother. In front of her elderly and weak parents, she insisted on the word "filial piety" and never called hardship. She and her sister silently shouldered the responsibility of nursing for their parents.
In Zhuhai, she learned that a certain brand of spectrum house can relieve her mother's physical illness. She sold a house in her hometown for 480,000 yuan, and then spent more than 100,000 yuan to buy the spectrum house and keep it at home. She accompanied her mother for physical therapy every day. In addition, she spent more than 200,000 yuan to buy various foot massage barrels and related health products to help her mother rebuild her confidence in recovery. She said, "As long as you can be good to your mother, you will be willing to do whatever you want."

She has always worked diligently and has won the honorary title of "March 8th Red Flag Bearer". After being paralyzed, my mother could only work in a wheelchair every day and watch the beautiful mountains and rivers of the motherland through TV.
As an old Communist Party member, visiting the red route, traveling around Hunan, and visiting Chairman Mao’s former residence has become a wish buried in my mother. In 2019, Tan Weili's sister gave up her business and came to doumen to take care of her parents, and decided to take her daughter and grandson with her, rent a car, and accompany her parents on a "dream journey".
Hunan, Shandong, Jiangsu, Jiangxi... There is the former residence of Mao Zedong that my mother yearns for, and the hometown that I dream of, the alma mater where my father once attended, and the Jinggangshan Revolutionary Base ... At that time, my father could not walk far away and could only take a wheelchair, while my mother could only travel on a wheelchair. Tan Weili and her sister pushed a wheelchair each. When the location was changed, the sister hugged her mother, who weighed more than 180 pounds, and changed her car and wheelchair. She walked around the places her parents wanted to go, and took pictures of the moment when their parents smiled the brightest.

After work, she also helped her mother take care of the elderly financially and in life. Speaking of her mother's filial behavior, Xiaoman said emotionally, "Mom has taken care of four generations of her family alone, and she has made too much and sacrificed too much.
