There is an old saying in China, "As heaven moves forward, a gentleman strives to constantly strive for self-improvement." There will never be a lack of suffering in life. Complaining and evading blindly in the face of suffering will only lead to frustration in the end. Only by embracing a positive attitude and facing difficulties squarely can you achieve nirvana and be reborn. Marx also once said, "Life is like an ocean, and only those with a strong will can reach the other shore." It can be seen that both foreign countries and China have the same attitude towards difficulties.
Shi Yijie, born in Datong, Shanxi in 1992, is a legendary girl. In 2000, when she was only 8 years old, she suffered an accident and was diagnosed with ischemic myelitis by the hospital, resulting in high paraplegia. I will be with the wheelchair for the rest of my life. The once cheerful and happy girl suddenly seemed to have reached the darkest moment in her life.
Faced with the sudden setback, Shi Yijie couldn't accept it at first. Just as she said in an interview, "I feel like a useless person, unable to do anything." This low mentality lasted until she met Sang Lan when she was 10 years old. After learning about Sang Lan's situation, Shi Yijie was deeply moved. Heartstring seemed to have gained great courage. From that day on, she decided not to sink, but to work hard like Sang Lan, who was physically disabled but strong in spirit. As the saying goes, "If you are poor and strong, you will not fall into the clouds."
After her mood and condition began to stabilize, Shi Yijie made another decision that pleased her family. She wanted to return to school. However, because he had been away from campus for too long, Shi Yijie couldn't keep up with his studies. In the first test, he only scored 12 points in English. However, she had already made up her mind and was not discouraged by this. Instead, she changed her mentality, studied hard, and made up for the missed courses through her spare time every day. After a year of hard work, her grades gradually caught up with her classmates.
Shi Yijie finally achieved excellent results in the college entrance examination and was successfully admitted to North China Electric Power University. After going to college, Shi Yijie, who became more and more sensible, began to feel the hard work of his parents. Because he was still in the recovery stage, Shi Yijie still couldn't do without the help of his family during college. After more than two hours of rehabilitation training every day, not only was he out of breath, but his parents were sweating profusely. The sensible Shi Yijie saw everything in her eyes. She consulted the information and developed an invention that made it easier for her to stand on her own. This invention allowed her to stand independently without relying on her parents. She named this invention "Standing Assistive Exercise Device for Paraplegics", and then she designed the appearance of a mobile hard drive. Both inventions obtained national patents.
With these two invention patents, Shi Yijie not only attracted the attention of major domestic universities, but even foreign universities also threw olive branches at her. However, it was not easy to study abroad. Shi Yijie made up her mind to learn English well first, so she began her long journey of foreign languages. Where there's a will, there's a way. Shi Yijie successfully passed the IELTS exam and applied for master's degree admissions to seven foreign universities. After that, she received admission notices from five world-famous universities. In the end, Shi Yijie chose the University of Southampton in the UK to study accounting.
There is never a shortcut to success. Even if the road to success is full of thorns, as long as there is sunshine in your heart, there will be sharp knives wherever you reach, and no matter how many difficulties you encounter, they will be just a passing cloud. When Shi Yijie talked about whether there was something special about herself, she simply said that she was the same as ordinary people, but she never ran away from difficulties and looked directly at them to make herself more courageous. A girl born in the 1990s scored 12 points in the English test, but she was eagerly recruited by 5 world-renowned universities. What is so special about her?
