Some say she was born to dislike God. At the age of one, she was so ill with a terrible case of polio that she was paralyzed from the lumbar spine down, so that while other children were gradually able to run and jump, she had to crawl instead. Since the age of six, she has undergone more than 40 surgeries and 270 incisions on her body.

At the age of eight, her condition finally improved and she was able to go to school on crutches. However, due to her physical defects, she could not participate in activities like other students, for this reason, she was very depressed, whenever she saw the students running and jumping on the playground of the vigorous figure, the heart always has a strange sour in the tumbling.

An air defense exercise class, the teacher arranged the students divided into several groups, some cover, some evacuate... When she was grouped, she was very anxious, everyone could move quickly, only herself, on crutches, difficult to walk. When she bowed her head and was very sad, the teacher came to her side and said to her kindly: "This classmate, we still need a sacred role that no one can play, that is, the wounded and sick, can you lie on the stretcher to play the wounded and sick?" A rainbow flashed through her heart and she readily agreed. That air defense exercise class, she was very happy, because the teacher such a thoughtful arrangement like a warm current, washed all the dust under her heart. Such a subtle detail, let her instant Epiphany, originally, everyone loves her so.

Since then, every physical education class, or other outdoor activities, ingenious teachers can always come up with a lot of ways to let her participate, for example, when the students compete or play games, the teacher let her be a "referee". She was so serious that her classmates praised her as "the best", and even her PE teacher said that she was more professional than herself as a referee. Gradually, she is like a change of a person, a change of the usual melancholy and depression, the soul is like a window, was opened with a crash, the sun of love shines on his heart. She began to dress herself, every time she went out, she always put herself up, wearing the brightest clothes, showing her bright smile, always conveying a positive and sunny state of mind.

However, when she turned 40, fate played an even bigger trick on her. A car accident left her completely paralyzed from the lower half of her body, and she has been confined to a wheelchair ever since. She was very sad, and even had the idea of suicide, but at this time, a strange scene appeared in front of her: that is, the air defense exercise class, she played the role of "wounded and sick"... Thinking of this, she seemed to regain the strength of new life, she thought, since there are so many people in life in love with themselves, they must not let down everyone's love for their own.

Instead of complaining, she was determined to pay it forward. Through self-study, she mastered courses such as adolescent psychology. Then, she quickly devoted herself to education work and other public welfare undertakings. She has volunteered to give lectures on family education and mental health education in more than 100 schools, enterprises, communities and prisons, reaching more than 100,000 audiences. It has helped nearly 100 school-weary children return to school, dozens of middle school students get rid of Internet addiction, and built self-confidence for nearly 10,000 students. She also started her own home education studio and charity website "Liai Sky"!

Yes, she is Li Li, who is known as the "Zhang Haidi of Hunan" and the "Helen Keller of China" and was named the "CCTV Person who moved China in 2007". Not only did people not look down on her because she was a disabled person, but they respected her as an idol.

In an air defense exercise class, the character of a "sick and wounded" exemplifies a teacher's love of detail. This kind of love, through the long years, cleaned up Li Li's life, more commendable is that such a kind of love, to Li Li here did not draw a full stop, but became countless rays, radiating to the society, radiating to everyone around her. In the field of life, Li Li is lucky, not only because she is a character who is modified by love, but also because she keeps modifying others with the same heart of love!

(A person who takes kindness as a habit already has a Buddha's heart, even if he never acts as a Buddha!)
