When she was looking forward to the future, but unfortunately in 1995 when she was 9 years old in a training fell into a high paraplegia, neck down, quadriplegic, complete incontinence of urine and feces, the hospital has issued three critical notice...... However, death in Dong Ming indomitable perseverance before a flinch. Although she was physically unable to move for the first six years of her injury and was confined to a wheelchair for 10 years after she lost her speech function, she did not feel depressed. "I will continue to perform my brilliant life through self-rescue, self-reliance and self-improvement," she said. She will take advantage of this "unique and rare opportunity" to teach herself from elementary school to high school. Unable to speak and unable to read aloud, she said it to herself over and over again. Unable to hold a pen in her hand, she wrote in her mind, stroke by stroke. Many kindhearted people were moved by her persistence in self-study, and they not only gave her material support, but also gave her spiritual encouragement. Despite this, Dong Ming, born in an ordinary family, is still unable to accept expensive rehabilitation treatment. She did not complain, with ordinary people unimaginable perseverance to adhere to self recovery, and finally in the sixth year after the injury appeared a miracle. When the upper arm gradually came to feel, she asked her parents to buy a second-hand computer, hard to drive the upper arm to practice typing, and tried to contribute to newspapers and periodicals, not only to earn their own income, but also a certain amount of savings. For this reason, she sighed: "My success, from my persistence, but also from the care of parents and society." The idea of volunteering came in 2005, when she began to make some noises. With the help of her parents, she became a teacher in a deaf school and taught deaf children how to speak. After a period of adjustment, she rolled herself to school without the help of her parents and officially registered as a volunteer two years later. Since then, she has served as an anti-smoking ambassador, an environmental volunteer, and a civilized road crossing counselor. When doing these things, she is always grateful: "It is love that makes me feel the beauty of life, and as a disabled person, I can realize the charm and significance of social care."
