Handan: "bench Girl" Li Yue lights up her wonderful life with both hands

Li Yue, a post-90s girl, has lost her legs since she was a child, and although she is shorter than others, she is as ideal as anyone, Handan Daily reported. She is motivated to study, works hard, and lights up her wonderful life with her own hands.

Li Yue, 25, from Donghetoubao Village, Feixiang County, was supposed to have a happy childhood like other children, but when she was one and a half years old, a fire in her home completely dashed her hopes. Her legs were so badly burned that she underwent four skin grafts in just three months in the hospital. After all-out rescue, her life was saved, but her legs were forced to be amputated. As Li Yue's treatment used up all her family savings and borrowed all her relatives and friends, when Li Yue learned to walk, her parents could only prepare two small stools for her and teach her to move forward alternately with her hands. Therefore, the villagers call her "bench girl".

With the growth of age, the "bench girl" reached the age of going to school. When she watched other children happily go to school with their schoolbags on their backs, she could only weep silently. "I want to go to school." In the face of her child's desire, Li Yue's mother was quite helpless. Due to physical reasons, the school was unwilling to accept her. In order to let her children read and be able to support themselves when they grow up, only the mother with a junior high school education taught Li Yue how to read at home. Little Li Yue is very sensible, she especially cherishes this rare learning opportunity, always pestering her mother to ask this and that, and making use of all the opportunities she can learn. Watching TV at home, she would speak according to the characters in the play and read words against the subtitles at the bottom of the screen; while walking on the road, she would pay attention to the advertisements on both walls of the street and the house numbers of supermarkets and storefronts, and even the small advertisements distributed in the streets had become the goal of her study; her brother bought books and dictionaries for her, and she often read some biographical stories and encyclopedias of science and technology, and looked up the dictionary when she encountered words she did not know until she fully mastered them. Where there's a will, there's a way. Although she has not been to school for a day, she knows more than 2000 commonly used words at an early age, which is no worse than children of the same age.

"self-study" has given Li Yue more confidence. In order to learn a survival skill, she asked for help and was turned away many times for physical reasons. Later, with the help of the propaganda Department of the Feixiang County Party Committee, the Women's Federation, the disabled Persons' Federation and caring people in society, the Great Wall computer School of the county accepted her and provided free food and accommodation. In order to facilitate Li Yue's study, the school also transferred her dormitory to the first floor, and the classroom was also arranged near the canteen and dormitory.

The love of the big social family ignited Li Yue's hope and passion. She studied hard and actively looked for employment opportunities. An occasional chat made her interested in WeChat business. considering that she had computer skills and didn't have to go out, she chose this industry without hesitation. She modestly asked her friends who were WeChat businessmen for advice. She collected all kinds of materials and information about doing WeChat business online, joined several WeChat business training groups, learned relevant knowledge from professional trainers, watched videos and listened to lectures in the group. After a period of understanding, she chose a brand of women's bra as an agent. In August last year, Li Yue's micro-store officially opened. Due to lack of experience, her store did not open for half a year. After finding problems, Li Yue promptly adjusted her marketing strategy according to market demand and adopted different marketing methods for specific groups of people. Soon the store improved.

Today, Li Yue not only manages her own micro-store meticulously, but also works part-time in an express company to send and receive express mail. Talking about her dream, she said: "in addition to doing a good job in my daily work, I also want to open a bra shop and save money to buy my own house in the city and live a happy life."
