Li Li, 45, from Hengyang, suffered from polio since she was a child, and then suffered a serious car accident. She underwent more than 40 major and minor operations and was forced to make more than 270 incisions. Now she can only walk in a wheelchair. However, Li Li did not give in to fate, but "regarded setbacks as a passbook, as the enjoyment of suffering, as the wealth of failure, as the driving force of disability". She founded Lili's family education studio and public welfare website "Love the Sky", and held a series of lectures on family education and mental health education for schools, enterprises, communities and prisons for many times, with an audience of more than 65,438+million, helping nearly 100 children who are tired of learning to return to school, and hundreds of middle school students quit Internet addiction, which has helped nearly 10,000 students establish their self-confidence. She is known as "Zhang Haidi of Hunan" and "Helen Keller of China".
In Li Li's impression, she cried three times in 45 years.
The first time was at 14 years old. Lili, who loves beauty, looks at the girls in the street wearing beautiful high heels, but they can't wear them because of the deformity of their left feet. Jealous and envious, she cried in front of her mother.
The second time was in 1999. Lili opened a gas station, but it soon ended in failure. Not only did the painstaking business go up in smoke, but it also owed a debt. However, after crying, she survived and continued to move forward.
The third time was not long ago, and it was a moving tear. One night, Li Li sorted out thousands of letters, and each letter began with a kind name-Sister Li and Mother Li. Looking at these letters, Lili couldn't help crying.
In fact, these three cries can divide Li Li's 45-year life experience into three steps: fighting the disease, starting her own career, and infecting prisoners and problem families with a philosophical attitude.
"It's long overdue."
She gave a speech to the prisoner for the first time. Li Li got up and walked to the podium with three glasses of wine. "You are imprisoned by your own heart and I am imprisoned by my own body." Facing more than 2,000 pairs of confused, indifferent or eager eyes in the auditorium of Hunan Yannan Prison, Li Li spoke her first heart-to-heart words. "Compared with my life imprisonment, you are happy. Also as a person who is' imprisoned', you still have a day to break free from imprisonment. "
After his speech, the audience applauded.
Li Li's speech in Yannan Prison was just an accidental move. In April 2003, Lili was the boss of a landscaping company, and the company's business was booming. She went to Yannan Prison to talk about a greening project. The prison leader was moved by her experience and sincerely invited her to give a report to the prisoners. Li Li insisted on resigning, but I didn't expect the speech to achieve amazing results. Many men who used to "kill people and steal goods" shed tears in front of this weak woman.
At that moment, Lili felt that she should have come long ago.
From a strong woman to "Sister Li"
Before that, Li Li had been a strong woman in Hengyang Street.
When she was more than one year old, polio swallowed Li Li's body. She became a disabled child with paralyzed legs and could only sit in an armchair specially designed for her by her family. Since then, Li Li has sought medical advice everywhere. At the age of 8, after more than 40 painful bone marrow operations, she was able to walk with crutches.
Li Li, who can stand up, worked as a painter, set up a tobacco stall and sold to jiaozi, and let her husband push her to engage in typing business with a bicycle, knit sweaters, run a sweater shop, run petrochemical raw materials and gas stations ... Li Li often "loses many times", but every time she falls, she will get up again and move on. At the beginning of 2000, Hengyang Goubuli Garden and Horticulture Co., Ltd., operated by Li Li, opened. At this time, Hengyang is beginning to dismantle illegal buildings in the city, and her career is about to reach its peak.
However, misfortune came again. On May 27th, 2002, Lili had an accident on her way back from Chenzhou to Hengyang. At that time, she was seriously injured and had 89 stitches on her face. The number of scars on her body has increased to 260, and four steel plates and six screws have been added.
After leaving the hospital, Lili started her busy work again, and the gardening company further developed. She became a famous entrepreneur in Hengyang.
The prisoners inside the high wall began to pass books with Li Liyong. Letters flew in like snowflakes. They affectionately call her "Sister Li".
Li Li personally answered them one by one. Busy with business during the day, I didn't start writing letters until two or three in the evening, so tired that I couldn't even straighten up. Besides writing letters, Lily answered more than 65,438+0,000 phone calls, delivered books to 500 Yu Ben, and helped 52 ex-prisoners find jobs.
Help and education gradually occupied the center of Li Li's life, and she was no longer the strong woman who worked hard.
After the Spring Festival in 2005, she transferred her company and came to Beijing to study alone with 80,000 yuan.
Since then, Hengyang has lost a female entrepreneur, and China has gained a messenger to spread gratitude and love. From "Sister Li" to "Mother Li"
When Li Li comes back from lectures in prison, she often thinks: Why did they take the road of no return?
From the letters of prisoners, she found that most of them were distorted by family problems when they were young. Li Li gradually made clear a more urgent task than helping prisoners, that is, changing problem families and saving lost children.
In 2005, the non-profit organization "Lili Family Education Studio" was born. "Mama Li" is the nickname of every child who has been to Lili Education Studio.
In the blink of an eye. In two years, more than 200 children who are addicted to online games quit Internet addiction with the help of Lili Studio and embarked on a sunny life path. Through two years of practice, the studio has accumulated more than 200 valuable counseling cases, and according to these vivid cases, it has completed more than 200,000 words of Notes on Family Education Counseling.
Today, the studio has absorbed more than 240 caring volunteers and saved thousands of separated families.
Sitting in a wheelchair, Lily likes to break her fingers. After the car accident in 2002, her fingers were once bent and stiff, but Li Li insisted on doing an hour of rehabilitation training every day and asked the masseur to straighten them. After persisting for half a year, her hand miraculously recovered.
"Life depends on' bye bye'. If something goes wrong,' bye bye' in the opposite direction may be different. " This is Li Li's mantra, and this stubborn woman not only broke a pair of dexterous hands for herself, but also "broke" her fingers and "broke" her heart for more strangers with her enthusiasm and love.
