Get out of the road of becoming rich by self-improvement

He lost his left lower limb due to an accident, but he made continuous self-improvement and started a business tenaciously. he relied on raising pigs with an annual income of more than 100000 yuan, changed his fate with hard-working hands, and walked out of the road of entrepreneurship and prosperity with one leg.

He is Luo Sanmin, a 52-year-old disabled person from Luopo Group, Bali Village, Chengguan Town, Luonan County.

The disaster caused the loss of the left leg.

It was on a warm winter afternoon that I first met Luo Sanmin. Tall and thin, with a black and red face, a slight hunchback, a slight wobble in walking and a simple and honest smile, the image of an ordinary crop man sprang before his eyes. But the fortitude, firmness in his eyes and the alertness and wisdom in his words make it hard for us to believe that the optimistic and confident man in front of us is the disabled person with a prosthetic leg we are going to interview.

In the interview, we learned that Luo Sanmin, who was born in the early 1960s, was born in poverty when he was young. In 1977, when he graduated from junior high school, he was forced to make a living and learned to do business with his relatives, selling livestock, wholesale fruits and vegetables. Because he is smart and studious, honest and credible, and is not afraid of hardships, he soon mastered the skills of doing business.

But a sudden disaster shattered reality. On December 21, 1996, the north wind roared and the road was covered with snow. Luo Sanmin was loaded with a truckload of live pigs to be pulled out of the mountain to sell. He wanted to sell a good price for his three children to go to school in the coming year, but who would have thought that when the car drove to a corner of an icy road in Shimen Town, Luo Sanmin fainted because the car skidded and collided with a large truck opposite.

When Luo Sanmin woke up, he found himself lying on the hospital bed of the county hospital. When he saw his wife crying like a tearful child in front of the hospital bed, Luo Sanmin understood everything. After the accident, his brother, who was traveling with Luo Sanmin, rushed him to the county hospital. after the doctor's examination and diagnosis, Luo Sanmin's left leg showed a comminuted fracture below the knee, left upper limb ulnar fracture, left middle finger fracture, in the face of serious illness, the doctor informed to immediately carry out lower limb amputation, otherwise a large amount of bleeding and lower limb infection would threaten his life, and Luo Sanmin was in agony in the face of difficult choices.

After two months in the hospital, Luo Sanmin went home with his left leg trouser leg in empty gear and his upper limb in heavy plaster. According to the accident, Luo Sanmin can get a certain amount of compensation, but the other party has no ability to pay compensation at all. this accident not only exhausted Luo Sanmin's original savings, but also made Luo Sanmin lose his ability to work.

Build up self-confidence and start a business tenaciously

"my three children are still in primary school, and I'm a loser again. How can I live in the future?" After amputation, Luo Sanmin often touched his empty trouser legs and fell into pain and despair. He even tried to "force" his wife to divorce him by losing his temper, but the gentle wife was always not irritable and showed meticulous care for him. The five-foot man could not help but burst into tears.

In the face of his haggard wife, the young and ignorant child, and the responsibility of being a man, Luo Sanmin decided to stand up again after painful thinking, and determined to live like a person, to support the family with his own hands.

"what can I do with crutches all day? I'm going to make my own prosthetic legs." Luo Sanmin thought about how to really stand up. He asked his wife to cut down several paulownia trees in the yard and began to learn to use paulownia to make artificial limbs, but because he had not learned carpentry, the prosthetics made each time were not too big or too small to fit him completely. After making more than a dozen paulownia artificial limbs, when he finally achieved a suitable prosthetic limb for himself, he found that the paulownia prosthesis could not bear load, and the joint of wood and legs was not smooth enough and inelastic. Friction caused Luo Sanmin's legs to be swollen and unable to dress, let alone walk.

Later, Luo Sanmin came to the Xi'an prosthetic Center to install a prosthetic limb for himself at a cost of more than 1000 yuan. Because he had used his own paulownia prosthesis before, he quickly adapted to life with a prosthetic limb. Gradually Luo Sanmin was able to work in the fields and bought a medium van. Now Luo Sanmin is almost no different from ordinary people whether he works or drives.

In 2012, the Kadoorie project was implemented in Luonan County, and Luo Sanmin also ushered in the second spring of his life. After participating in the soft skills training course held by the disabled Persons' Federation of Luonan County for many times, Luo Sanmin gradually overcome his inferiority complex and set up confidence in life. Since then, the County disabled Persons' Federation also gave Luo Sanmin a new prosthetic limb free of charge, applied for a second-level disability card for him, and received a monthly living subsidy for the disabled, and the County disabled Persons' Federation also came to his door many times to guide him in pig farming techniques. Seeing that the whole society is caring for the disabled and encouraging them to start a business, Luo Sanmin is no longer self-abased and confused, and has further strengthened his determination and confidence to become rich and start a business.

Luo Sanmin, full of confidence, drove his van to Weinan, Dali, Henan and other places to sell fruits, livestock and vegetables, and vigorously developed the pig industry. With a certain income, Luo Sanmin became more motivated to get rich.

One leg can also find a way to get rich.

Due to the inconvenience of wearing artificial limbs and the tiredness of long-term travel in the wind and rain, Luo Sanmin decided to concentrate on developing the pig industry.

Since 2012, Luo Sanmin has been expanding the scale of pig farming. He has invested more than 20,000 yuan to build four two-story pig houses, continuously increasing the number of pigs, and also increasing the number of sows, so that sows continue to join in breeding, forming a virtuous circle pattern. Today, Luo Sanmin's pig-raising scale is expanding year by year, the number of live pigs has also expanded from more than a dozen at the beginning to more than 100 at present, and the income has also increased from tens of thousands of yuan to more than 100,000 yuan.

Years have passed in the blink of an eye. Over the years, Luo Sanmin is very hard, but also very happy. Over the years, he is not discouraged, does not give up, tenacious optimism, continuous self-improvement, relying on hard-working hands and smart mind to change his fate, with one leg out of the road to wealth. He built six small two-story buildings so that the children could go to school with peace of mind, and he became the leader of getting rich in the village.

While starting a business and getting rich, Luo Sanmin did not forget his villagers. He unreservedly taught his experience and experience of raising pigs over the years to the villagers and the disabled around him. Driven by his demonstration, Sun Fumin and Wang Xiaomin, disabled people in neighboring villages, also got rid of the predicament and embarked on the road of starting a business and becoming rich.

Luo Sanmin told us that he believes that his road will become wider and wider, his life will be better and better, and he will work with the villagers to develop the pig industry better and create a happy life of his own.
