Flying without wings

Stories Daquan Folk Tales Daquan column collates and collects some folk stories for readers to read online. Here I have compiled a folk story about wingless flight. Please follow my footsteps to see flying without wings.

Why? Chen Huaichun has no hands, but he chose what his hands can do-photography. He also accomplished a more difficult thing: "handwritten" a novel with 300,000 words.

By the Xijing River in Jiyukou Town, Qianjiang City, we walked into Chen Huaichun's "Rose Wedding Photography Studio". He squatted in a workshop less than three square meters, tapping the computer keyboard with his stump. It's better to press than to knock: he only has one "finger" to touch the keyboard-half a forearm. Chen Huaichun is copying word for word with his own handwriting. It can be seen that at the age of 57, he is doing a very happy thing. "At first, I could only type a dozen words an hour, but now I can type 400 words."

Mr. Chen named the novel he wrote "A High Wind Knows Strong Grass", and the protagonist naturally took himself as the prototype. "Sometimes I write with my mouth, and sometimes I write with a pen in my arm. This is written as 16. " Lao Chen wrote in the preface: "When bad luck challenges us, don't be pessimistic and disappointed, but summon up courage to fight against fate. It is not advisable to escape and compromise with death. Don't forget, life is only once ... "

At the age of 9, Chen Huaichun lost his hands by playing with the residual gunpowder of firecrackers. "At that time, I cried, hurt, and even thought about giving up my life." In the end, he chose to fight against his fate in an extremely difficult abyss-he learned to dress, eat, write and draw with his stump. In order to test his viability, as an adult, he went up the Yangtze River to Yichang, Badong and even Wushan in Chongqing. "This lonely trip made me understand a lot of life truths and feel the warmth of the world."

Back in Jiyukou, Chen Huaichun bought a camera, studied photography, took the camera from village to village, and later contracted the photo studio of the town cultural center. Later, he opened a rose photo studio in town. Through self-study and practice, his photography and comic works have been published in more than 20 newspapers and periodicals all over the country, and his photography work "Spring Borrowing Grain Paste" won the second prize in the provincial photography competition. He keeps expanding his business and his business is thriving. He built a building and his family lived a happy life.

Now, Chen Huaichun intends to give this photo studio to his son and start over. "Photography should be based on the market, otherwise it will be eliminated if it does not develop. Only by continuous learning can we keep up with the times. "

The man next door told us another story. 1993 In the summer, a walking tractor carrying 17 people fell into the river from the Xijing River Bridge. When Lao Chen heard the news, he did not hesitate to jump into the river more than 4 meters deep to save people. Afterwards, Chen Huaichun was awarded the advanced individual title of "Maintaining Public Order and Being Courageous", and also awarded the 300 yuan Prize, which was donated to the villagers living in difficulties. He said: "As long as there is love, you can save people without hands."

When we say goodbye to Mr. Chen, we can't shake hands, but hug. Oh, no, only hugs can show our deep respect.
