It’s hard to believe that a girl from out of town who lost her hearing due to a high fever at the age of 2 actually became a child at the age of 16 after more than ten years of lonely hard work in a silent world. Became a member of the Guangdong Writers Association and an academician of the Shenzhen Youth Academy of Sciences! In early 2007, the "S.E.E Green Lighting Technology" she invented was exclusively bought out by the Canadian WISE LITE T-ECHNOLOIGY company for more than 100 million yuan! How did this deaf girl, educated by ordinary working parents, create a miracle?
Smart daughter soothes the broken hearts of her parents
In July 1990, Zhang Shiping and Huang Yan, a young couple in their 20s from Nanyang City, Henan Province, gave birth to a lovely and healthy child. His daughter was named Zhang Xini. When the child was only 1 year old, his father Zhang Shiping went south to work in Shenzhen.
In October 1992, Zhang Shiping suddenly received a call from his wife: "Oh no, my daughter can't hear!" ?A famous professor did many tests and told them with certainty: ?Excessive use of gentamicin and streptomycin resulted in extremely severe drug-induced deafness. If your daughter wants to hear sounds like a normal person, the volume must reach 96 decibels, which is equivalent to the sound of a train whistle
Later, the unwilling Zhang Shiping couple went to several major hospitals for examination and found out. The results are consistent, and experts say nothing can be done to cure it. The couple finally had to accept the cruel reality.
In August 1997, after years of hard work, Zhang Shiping was hired as a manager by a company in Luohu District, Shenzhen, and Zhang Xini had to drift along with him. In order to give his daughter a chance to study, he took a month off and traveled around, and finally let Zhang Xini transfer to Shuitian Primary School in Luohu District, Shenzhen to attend the second grade.
The school’s care for Zhang Xini moved Zhang Shiping and his wife deeply. But they also know that deafness will bring countless difficulties and setbacks to their daughter's future life. It is not enough to rely on others to help her. She must be allowed to truly become strong herself! So, they started a marathon-like "family ideological education". Soon, Zhang Shiping bought books such as "Helen Keller" and "Zhang Haidi" from Xinhua Bookstore, and asked Zhang Xini to read them over and over again. From then on, she became obsessed with hiding at home and reading classics.
In early 1999, Zhang Shiping bought her a second-hand computer and taught her step by step how to learn knowledge through the Internet.
Through reading widely, reading online, etc., Zhang Xini’s thinking has become increasingly active. She has a thinking ability that is rare among her peers. At the same time, she is very eager to communicate with and integrate with the audio world. . Once, Zhang Shiping saw her chattering incessantly, speaking fast but unable to pronounce words clearly, so he gave her a suggestion: "Why don't you use a computer to write down what you want to say?" ?So, Zhang Xini started writing a diary on the computer.
In the spring of 2000, Zhang Shiping went on a business trip, and Zhang Xini, who was already proficient in using computers, chatted with her father through QQ for the first time. Later, she actually wrote the chat content into an article titled "Who Am I? Online Written Conversation" and published it in "Special Zone Education". When the school teacher found out about it, she especially praised her and used her article as a model essay. Make copies for your classmates to study! This incident inspired her huge passion for computer writing. From then on, she not only worked hard to write every composition assigned by the teacher, but also insisted on writing a diary every day without stopping.
The studious and motivated Zhang Xini decided to give full play to her "writing strengths" like Helen, because she has deeply realized that writing can help her communicate extensively with the audio world without the ability to listen to language. exchange! She started by submitting her essays to some middle school student magazines to have them printed. Later, as articles were published one after another, she discovered that she could actually make money by writing articles!
This gave her even more motivation, because she had always longed for a pair of state-of-the-art hearing aids, but it cost 36,000 yuan and her family could not afford them, so she thought: I will publish an article. If you can get a manuscript fee of 100 yuan, then if you publish 360 articles, wouldn't you be able to afford a hearing aid?
Since then, Zhang Xini has to diligently write a two thousand-word article after completing her study tasks every night.
Hard work pays off! Zhang Xini later not only published many short articles, but also started writing novels during the summer vacation of 2003.
After more than a year of hard work, in November 2004, her first 700,000-word novel "Tong Yan Wuji's Three Kingdoms" was officially published by Haitian Publishing House.
In July 2005, at the age of 15, she wrote the autobiographical novel "If I Were Helen" based on her unique life insights, which was published by People's Literature Publishing House. This best-selling book also brought her many honors: she won the 2nd Xinxin Literature Award, the 8th National Youth League Five One Project Award, etc. That year, she was also admitted as the youngest member of the Guangdong Provincial Writers Association!
?Miracle Daughter? A small repayment
In the three years of junior high school, Zhang Xini not only achieved amazing results in literature, but her love and understanding of computers were also fully developed. , she gradually became a computer master through self-study. To this end, Donghu Middle School created many convenient conditions for her, such as allowing her to serve as the webmaster of the campus website "New Hope" and the editor-in-chief of the campus literary magazine "Sail". She also established the country's first "Middle School Student Entrepreneurship Association" to promote the learning method she summarized, the "1+3+X Learning Model", and discussed with her classmates how to start a business and make DIY products.
At that time, many people reminded Zhang Shiping and his wife: "Is this child working too hard?" You are simply working harder than you and your wife have been over the years! She is still young, and too much load may be detrimental to her healthy growth. There is nothing we can do! This kid's explosive power in recent years is like an atomic bomb, and we can't stop it at all! Zhang Shiping and his wife also noticed that their daughter was too diligent, which made them both happy and worried.
Sure enough, in the second semester of her third year of junior high school, Zhang Xini suddenly realized that her vision was a little blurry, and she couldn't even see the blackboard clearly during class! ?Child, you are deaf, but you must not have any more problems with your eyes! ?Zhang Shiping and his wife were so anxious that they almost cried. They hurriedly sent her to the hospital for a comprehensive examination. It turned out that she only suffered from myopia!
After learning about Zhang Xini’s situation, the doctor said: This must be caused by her reading and writing under a desk lamp for a long time. The fluorescent lamps currently used have problems with stroboscopic and electromagnetic radiation, which are also caused by urban students. The important reason for the high rate of myopia is indeed that for more than 10 years, she has lived in a silent world and has been reading at night and studying at her desk. The lamp on the desk has become her closest companion. Although her hard work finally won flowers and applause, she often feels that her eyes are astringent, her vision is declining, and her temples are swollen.
Although Zhang Xini vows to be a "Chinese Helen", she doesn't want to really become a deaf and blind Helen! She was very sad and locked herself in her room all day long, searching the Internet for information about myopia over and over again. During that time, she suffered from inexplicable irritability, and her original plan to write several more novels was shelved.
One night, she found many expert papers on the Internet saying that myopia is related to eye hygiene, sitting posture and light. She was confused: Is this really the case? But the lighting conditions in remote mountainous areas are not good. Why is the myopia rate among children in mountainous areas not high? In order to explore this issue, she commissioned netizens in the mountainous area to conduct a survey, and finally concluded that 90% of myopia is caused by "light pollution", which means that the "culprit" is the fluorescent lamps we use every day!
In order to protect her eyesight, Zhang Xini bought an eye protection lamp, but after using it for a long time, not only did it not improve the swelling of her temples, but she became more fatigued than before! She was puzzled. Once during a physics experiment class, she used a radiation tester to test the radiation of an eye protection lamp. The result surprised her: the eye protection lamp also contained strong electromagnetic radiation! How could this happen? So how can we eliminate radiation?
Zhang Xini consulted her physics teacher and searched for information on the Internet and learned that the World Health Organization had detected that the electronic radiation of fluorescent lamps on the market is 40-400Ut, which is much higher than the national standard. Hundreds of times, it will not only kill brain cells, but also seriously affect people's health; and this is caused by alternating current, because fluorescent lamps use 220-volt alternating current to directly emit light, and the instability of the voltage brings about stroboscopic and radiation. Later, she learned that DC power uses 150 volts, which is stable and energy-saving. ?So, can direct current be used to light fluorescent lamps? ?She suddenly had this bold idea.
In order to prevent herself from being hurt a second time, Zhang Xini decided to use her knowledge and diligence to invent a healthy and environmentally friendly desk lamp that neither hurts the eyes nor radiates! However, when she exchanged this idea with many netizens on the forum, almost 100% of them were against it, and many people even ridiculed her: "Are you too naive?" People all over the world know that DC fluorescent lamps don’t flicker!
However, direct current cannot light up fluorescent lamps. This is a forbidden area in the electrical field. Scientists have been studying it persistently more than half a century ago! You should just settle down and be your "Chinese Helen" and be a young girl writer! Don’t think that making an invention is as easy as composing a novel! ?
Such words were everywhere on the Internet. Zhang Xini was really sad when she started reading them, but this just inspired her fighting spirit. Her father Zhang Shiping was very supportive of her: "Son, as long as you are interested, just study hard!" I heard that when Edison invented the phonograph, no one believed in him and thought he was crazy. But in the end he made the phonograph, so Dad believes you can succeed! ?
So, her father took out the money she earned from publishing books and set up a "laboratory" for her at home. After hearing about it, Donghu Middle School also set up a special "laboratory" for her. Instructors are also arranged. In this way, except for her normal homework, she temporarily gave up everything and focused on "inventing the green desk lamp".
In the summer of 2006, after continuous experiments and thousands of failures, she finally invented "S.E.E Technology and its Safe, Environmentally Friendly and Energy-Saving DC Fluorescent Lamp Device" and obtained a national patent! Really? Nothing is unexpected, only impossible?! After creating this "miracle", 16-year-old Zhang Xini became an academician of the Shenzhen Youth Academy of Sciences in China.
However, obtaining a technology patent does not mean it is truly successful, because a company still needs to accept it and use it to produce products. But Zhang Xini is just a freshman in high school, and her parents are just ordinary working parents. They have no time or money to find manufacturers to cooperate with.
In December 2006, when Zhang Xini’s family was worried about whether the patent would be of any use, Mr. Su Zuogang (overseas Chinese), president of the famous Canadian company WISE LITE T-ECHNOLOIGY, found Zhang Sydney expressed her willingness to buy it out exclusively for more than 100 million yuan! This is great news! Zhang Xini and her migrant parents couldn't believe it at the time, and were so excited that they didn't sleep well for several days and nights.
However, President Su Zuogang said that there is still a long way to go before this patented technology can be applied to lighting products, and Zhang Xini’s cooperation in research is required. Therefore, President Su provided her with a special research room, allowing her to conduct repeated experiments with the company's production technicians. After several months of hard work, a lamp named "Smart Lamp" that has no flicker and no electromagnetic radiation has finally come out! After President Su Zuogang bought out Zhang Xini's patent, he immediately invested in establishing Huishi Technology Lighting Co., Ltd. in Zhongshan City, Guangdong, and officially started mass production!
On July 1, 2007, the HuiShi smart lamp invented by Zhang Xini officially entered the Chinese lighting market, and Zhang Xini, who was only 17 years old, suddenly became a billionaire. Millionaire! She not only changed her own destiny, but also changed the destiny of her working parents!
A few days ago, Zhang Xini was in her second year of high school at Donghu Middle School in Shenzhen. When a reporter asked her how she planned to spend the money she earned, she happily said: "I don't know, all my money is dedicated to My parents, this is just a small repayment from me, there will be more in the future! ?And Huang Yan, her mother who has been taking care of her at home all these years, said with emotion: ?I never dreamed of it! To have such an amazing daughter! ?
The most important thing in life is a word! The great musician Beethoven did not become a disabled person because of his deafness. He worked tirelessly with amazing will and finally added the most glorious chapter to the history of European music! Helen Keller, who was both deaf and blind, never bowed to her fate and fought hard in the darkness to become a famous and charismatic writer! And Zhang Xini's family, also relying on their perseverance and hard work for more than 10 years, finally became a happy family in Shenzhen Special Economic Zone with hundreds of millions of wealth. This cannot but be said to be a miracle!
