Three Hunan post-90s, the brightest "Star" in March
April 17th, 2022

Jiang MENGNAN, Yang Shuting and Zou bin, online and offline, these three post-90s youth in Hunan are on fire.

Jiang MENGNAN “broke through the encirclement” from the silent place, broke through difficulties all the way, became a female doctor of Tsinghua University and became a “moving Chinese figure”; Yang Shuting, standing up from a wheelchair, became a self-help and helpful “Flower Fairy” and a torchbearer of the winter Paralympic Games; Zou bin walked into the Great Hall of the people from a small mountain village, and the small bricklayer grew into a great craftsman.

How did they do it?

Jiang MENGNAN, it’s not difficult to have a dream

▲ Jiang MENGNAN is undergoing cochlear implant test.

It’s not easy to be deaf at the age of half a year,

Who knows lips are hard enough!

My father and mother have meat in their hearts,

All the way to success.

This poem in Netease’s plain and elegant literati is about Jiang MENGNAN, a post-90s girl from Chenzhou, Hunan Province.

The poem was written on March 3. In the evening of the same day, “moving China’s 2021 person of the year” was announced, and Jiang MENGNAN was selected. Together with Yang Zhenning, a great physicist who advocates science and loves the motherland, Su Bingtian, an indomitable Chinese flying man, Gu Songfen, an aircraft design expert who is committed to serving the country, he once again moved China.

The host of the award ceremony of “Yan song like” feels that you are the first to be touched by the words of “Yan song like”. But you must be moved by the words of “Yan song like” and “Bai song like”

Jiang MENGNAN was born in Yong’an village, Mangshan Yao Township, Yizhang County, Chenzhou. His parents are teachers of Mangshan ethnic school.

Due to an accident, Jiang MENGNAN lost his hearing when he was half a year old and had to live in a silent world.

In the 1990s, her hearing condition was generally considered impossible to learn to speak, and the doctor advised her parents to take her to a deaf school.

When his parents were on the verge of despair, one day xiaomengnan suddenly made a vague “ah ah” voice, which made the couple too excited to speak.

They were determined to teach their daughter to speak - not sign language, but pronunciation and lip language. The couple asked their daughter to touch their throats, feel the vibration of vocal cords, hold her daughter in front of the mirror, let her observe the mouth shape when talking, and imitate her voice.

“I can learn a word ten thousand times. My parents are already very happy. There may be some sounds with very similar mouth shapes, flowers and melons. I need to put my hand near their mouth to feel the air flow. Flowers, air flow, melons, No. It takes many times of feedback to slowly practice such a muscle memory.” Jiang MENGNAN introduced her difficulties in learning English at the award ceremony of moving China.

Through the long efforts of a family of three, Jiang MENGNAN finally learned to “listen” and “speak”. It is the decision to learn lip language that makes Jiang MENGNAN’s way of study more and more long-term and the road of life wider and wider.

But every step is a “difficult mode”. The hardships on the way to study are also beyond imagination.

Classroom “listening” is the most important way for students to obtain knowledge, but it is not an easy thing for Jiang MENGNAN. Because she can’t always see the teacher’s mouth shape, she can only keep up with her progress by reading blackboard books and self-study after class.

Smart and strong, Jiang MENGNAN, with unyielding strength and extraordinary perseverance, was admitted to the undergraduate and master’s degree of Jilin University with excellent results all the way. In 2018, he was admitted to the doctoral degree of the school of life and science of Tsinghua University, focusing on tumor immunity and machine learning. At the age of 26, she had a cochlear implant. Finally, for the first time in her life, she really heard the world.

Life is full of suffering, but it can still shine like a song.

In life, Jiang MENGNAN never considers herself a vulnerable group. Like her classmates, she loves beauty and fitness, and will also participate in various public welfare activities. In 2020, she was also elected the fifth president of Tsinghua University Student Barrier Free Development Research Association. Her goal is always clear, that is, to solve the problem of life and health.

Jiang MENGNAN said, “I have never regarded myself as a weak person because I can’t hear. I believe I can’t be worse than others, and I also believe things can be done well.”

Yang Shuting: Flower Fairy in wheelchair

On March 4, 2022, 11 years after high paraplegia, Yang Shuting, a Miao girl in Shaoyang City, Hunan Province, realized her desire to stand and walk.

At about 10 a.m. that day, Yang Shuting stood up from her wheelchair at the site of the Beijing Winter Olympic Organizing Committee. Relying on the exoskeleton robot, she walked firmly for 50 meters and passed the fire to the next torchbearer. She is the No. 3 torchbearer of the line and one of the 565 torchbearers of the Beijing winter Paralympic Games.

“Although the torch relay takes only about three minutes, each step is very precious. I feel very honored and excited. Hold the sacred torch with both hands, ignite and pass. Every step of landing on the ground feels extremely heavy. This is both honor and responsibility.” In an interview afterwards, Yang Shuting said that what he passed was not only the torch, but also peace and hope, courage and strength. “I hope this flame can illuminate the wonderful life of the disabled! At this moment, I just want to say: I am proud of the prosperity and strength of the motherland!”

In 1991, Yang Shuting was born in song and dance village, baimaoping Township, Chengbu Miao Autonomous County. In 2011, Yang Shuting was 20 years old. She worked as a physician assistant for one year. A sudden car accident in April of that year completely changed the trajectory of her life. Despite all-out rescue and treatment, it still leaves the regret of high paralysis and can only sit in a wheelchair for life.

In the face of such a huge blow and 270000 yuan debt due to treatment, Yang Shuting, who was badly hit, struggled painfully in the hospital bed for a year. After seeing her mother and father who took good care of her every day and sought medical treatment everywhere, she finally figured out: “I must be reborn”.

Yang Shuting firmly believed that what others can do, she can do it through her own efforts. She decided to find a way out by herself.

In 2012, Yang Shuting started game practice and advertising click on the Internet. In the first month, Yang Shuting only made 7.7 yuan. In the eyes of others, this is almost a joke like story, but for Yang Shuting, who once fell into decadence, it is a rebirth - “you can earn 7.7 yuan today, maybe 77 yuan or 770 yuan tomorrow.”

It was the seven yuan and seventy cents that brought her back to life
