At a gym in Shenzhen, a girl with a curvy figure in sportswear is attracting a lot of attention, but a closer look is surprising - her right leg is fitted with a prosthetic leg. The girl, xiao Zhou, was encouraged to start working out three years ago by a girl handing out fitness leaflets. Now, zhou has not only formed a self-disciplined lifestyle and developed a waistline, but her optimistic attitude has also infected many netizens. Her name is Xiaozhou (Hua surname), hengyang people. "My right leg is wandering on Mars," she joked on her social media platform. There is also a touching coming-of-age story behind this fitness girl.
Lost her right leg in car accident at age 4, keeps' secret '
Xiao Zhou is a 29-year-old entrepreneur in Shenzhen. When Xiao Zhou was 4 years old, his right leg was amputated due to a car accident, and the sole of his left foot was completely deformed. There was no fat or meat in the heel, and it hurt when he touched it. He walked on the sole of his foot and four toes. In primary school, she was always isolated, bullied and called names by her classmates. Sometimes she dared to go home after dark. Zhou spent her middle school years alone, always afraid of being noticed. "After the high school entrance examination, the DISABLED Persons' Federation gave me my first artificial limb for free. Every day when I train to walk, my right leg hurts from the artificial leg, but I feel happy and decent again." During the three years of high school, Xiao Zhou had to wear artificial limbs for more than ten hours a day, and always hid them in school for fear that his classmates would see through them. Her legs were swollen, swollen and itchy from so much time on her prosthesis that she developed eczema in the summer and felt as if she had put them in ice water in the winter. "No one knew I wore prosthetics for three years in high school, and it became my deepest secret. I walked differently, but I told them I had a leg injury. I will always be the first to enter the classroom and the last to leave." "When I went to college, I chose to major in biotechnology. Freshman class organized activities, at the beginning I did not dare to go, afraid of dragging the classmates back. It was the first picnic for my college class, and I had to climb many stairs to get to the barbecue area. It was raining, the ground was slippery, and no one in class knew I wore prosthetics, so I took every step very carefully."
Xiao Zhou thus kept a "safe distance" from everyone. There is a rehearsal of New Year's day program, the whole class to dance on the stage, the students think that small week's leg injury to the New Year's day will be good, and finally she also played, but not good, small week can only explain that the leg injury is not good.
And the elder sister run training institutions to earn the first bucket of gold
In her sophomore year, she served as the publicity officer of the department. The community led by Xiao Zhou went to the orphanage every weekend as a free tutor and sometimes brought them some stationery, clothes and candy. The children looked forward to xiao Zhou's visit every time. Xiao Zhou's class dormitory is on the 6th floor. For convenience, she applied to live with her senior students. Sophomore Xiao Zhou got familiar with the pace of the whole university in advance and began to feel confused about campus life. "I have one roommate who is very beautiful, another who spends a lot of time in the library to get scholarships, and another who has a lot of social resources and has already arranged his graduation destination." At that time, Xiao Zhou felt that as the president of two associations, she actively applied for student cadres, the role is not great. In addition, xiao Zhou's major is relatively unpopular, so she thinks there are only three ways out of graduation: to work as a factory quality inspection, to be a biology teacher, and to take the postgraduate entrance exam. Xiao Zhou's poor family made her give up the idea of postgraduate entrance examination. In his junior year, Xiao Zhou met a senior student in the English corner and enrolled students for English training. He not only improved his oral English, but also earned his tuition and living expenses and went to many places. So Xiao Zhou took the initiative to find her and do recruitment work with her. Later, she and the senior set up a training agency and started her own business. They were busy at first, barred from more and more schools and sometimes ejected by security guards as more and more students enrolled, but made some money.
I bought my first house after graduation, and I've been starting my own business ever since
When Xiao Zhou graduated at the age of 23, she took out a loan to buy her first home in Changsha with the money she earned from her college start-up, which helped her regain some confidence. I can't drive, but I bought the space. Three years ago, Xiao Zhou started working out and now she has a beautiful waistline. Three years ago, Xiao Zhou met a girl who gave me a fitness advertisement." "Why did you send me a fitness poster?" Zhou asked. I shouldn't be fit." Zhou was told: "You can do it!" Xiao Zhou was touched, accepted the advertisement and began to try fitness. Since her graduation, Xiao Zhou has been working on her own business. At first, she was engaged in e-commerce, and then she started a b&B. In just one month, she was rated as an excellent landlord by the platform. Then he opened a clothing store, and now he makes short videos and uploads them online. Running a clothing store, xiao Zhou pays close attention to every link from design to decoration. After taking 20,000 steps a day, his right leg was often skinned by his prosthetic. Fortunately, his efforts paid off.
"Every day for the next 10 years is precious to me"
"It's my personality not to tell people until it's done. What if it's not done? When I'm willing to say it, IT's when I'm doing ok." Xiao Zhou summed up his character like this. In November 2020, zhou was hired as the image ambassador of Shenzhen Barrier-free Environment Promotion Association due to her enthusiastic and cheerful image on the online platform. Speaking about the job, Zhou said, "I like this job because I feel very accessible in Shenzhen, especially on the subway, they provide pedals for my wheelchair, there are staff to pick me up all the way, and there are green channels. "Accessibility is really important for people with disabilities, and I hope the whole society can pay attention to it, and I hope I can contribute to promoting accessibility." Unfortunately, xiao Zhou now feels that his physical condition is not as good as it used to be, and his feet will hurt if he stands for a long time. "In 10 years I will be in a wheelchair because of my body. So for the next 10 years, every day will be precious to me. I want to be a girl who will always be true to herself and love life."
