Chapter 1 One Day in 1993
One day in 1993
I was born with no way to walk, and every child babbled and crawled all over the floor at the age of one year and a few months. And I could only lie on the hospital bed with my thin body, looking at the dark ceiling, lying on the cold hospital bed.
I couldn't speak, but I came into this world. When I came into this world, it didn't go well, and my mother, who had died painfully in the delivery room, finally gave birth to me. However, I was dragged from my mother's belly by the doctor. I was almost dying when I pulled it off. His lips were purple, his face was pale, almost like a dead man, but he was a little better than a dead man, that is, he was half-dead and still had a breath.
Since it was 1993, at that time, "born", there was no incubator at all, and there was no oxygen to use, so it was not the era of human life at all. The cold delivery room completely enveloped my thin body, and I shivered with cold, and my cries filled the entire delivery room.
"How much does your heart beat?"

"No, hurry, this child is seriously hypoxic, and now his whole body is purple and hard, hurry up and rescue him!" My newborn nightmare. In this way, on September 9, 1993, in the 414 People's Hospital in Guizhou, it spread throughout the corridors of the hospital, accompanied by the impatient sound of the roller bed and the jingling of the infusion bottle, and I was just born into the "intensive care unit". The pungent smell of medicine in the intensive care unit filled my nostrils. The cold breathing tubes filled my emaciated body. The tiny needle made me unconscious. However, the medical level in 1993 was like this, not to mention that there were no oxygen cylinders, and even the rescue room of the intensive care room was put together with a temporary white cloth, so my thin body was slaughtered by these angels in white. Let the Grim Reaper take me away anytime and anywhere. The dilapidated door of the intensive care room opened and closed like this, and the nurses at one time and the attending physicians of other departments filled the entire intensive care room. One will be a scalpel, one will be a ventilator, and one will be an emergency machine.
And outside, it's my parents who are crying to death. The corridors and windows outside are densely packed with people, and there are so many people that you can't see the edge. As if they wanted to watch a movie, three or two people crowded by the door and looked inside.
"It's really cute, she was in the intensive care unit as soon as she was born, and she was a baby girl.
"Doctor, doctor, I beg you, save my child, this child is already the fourth child, doctor, I beg you, this child can't die anymore, I γγγγγγ"
"Xiaoying, wake up, wake up!"
Shen Xiaoying is my mother, I was just born and I haven't followed, my mother is in front of me, my mother is crying so anxious that she faints, of course she has to faint, because in 1993, at that time, the salary of 600 yuan a month was already considered the sky, if my mother fainted on that day and couldn't wake up, the family would collapse.
New China was only established in 1994, and it stands to reason that I was born at this time in 93, which is really not the time, but God has to say that I was born on this day, and I can't help it.
I was born, this day, maybe the time is wrong, the sky is foggy, there is no sunshine, and at that time, there is no mobile phone, only a machine, if there is anything, you can only use this small communication machine to call for help. At that time, there were no cars, some were bicycles, and people were used to pull rickshaws. But because the rickshaw is expensive, my father, who was a soldier, Zhang Ping had to carry my mother to the hospital, my mother worked in the bank, but because she was born in less than eight months before she was pregnant, my mother had to raise a fetus at home in order to protect me.
Because I am the fourth, my parents are very careful, and every small step they take, they have to see if there are any potholes under their feet. It's strange to say, Mom, no matter which one she is pregnant, she was born less than nine months ago. Of course, I am no exception, even if I am the fourth to be born at this time. It was like heaven was predestined, so I became the fourth premature baby, and I was lucky, at least I survived. The previous three died either on the third day of life or on the seventh day.
So I was lucky, although it was finally determined to be "ischemia and hypoxia, cerebral palsy, I also fought with death for eight days and eight nights and came back to life." β
The smell of medicine in the intensive care unit has made me blue and purple, not to mention, and I can't tell the difference in the ward. The strong smell of medicine filled my nostrils, and the dim gray light stung me, and my immature eyes. Mom asked, lying on the hospital bed dying
"Doctorγγγγγγ Me, how is my child? Still alive? β
Seeing his mother dying, his father Zhang Ping used all his strength, 175 tall, wearing an army green military uniform, almost didn't shake the doctor unconscious.
"Doctor, tell me, how is my child?
Father, who had been guarding for eight days and nights, had red eyes and asked anxiously, uncle, aunts. I'm afraid that my parents won't be able to support it, so I took turns guarding the ward for the past eight days. A large family of thirty or forty people filled this ward of less than 90 square meters, and there was hardly a trace of fresh air in the whole ward, and the window was open in time, as if the air outside had nothing to do with this ward.
"Sir, youγγγγγγ Let me go. My head is γγγγγγ β
"Zhang Ping, it's okay! Can you calm down first?! β
Uncle at this time's loud voice stopped the emotionally out of control of his father Zhang Ping, because his father was a soldier, his brute force, almost tore the neckline of the attending physician. Those blood-red eyes seemed to be trying to eat people. The uncle removed Dad's hand from the doctor's neckline, and the attending physician was also frightened by Dad's excitement.
The tense atmosphere was interrupted by his uncle's calm and somewhat angry voice. Uncle is a director in the Organization Department of the Party Committee, after my father was discharged from the army, he was transferred to work in the security department, at that time, my father's salary was 600 a month, and my mother's salary was 700 in the bank, compared to my uncle's salary was higher 900, so my aunt, who had no education since childhood, was always that uncle, and from time to time I hung on my lips, although I was short, but my chubby body could not suffer.
"Okay, okay, Zhang Ping let go of the doctor and listen to what the doctor has to say first.
Under the persuasion of his uncle and aunt, Dad finally let go of the doctor not only slowly. Because Dad had been caught for too long, the attending physician, some, said breathlessly;
"Sir, after rescuing your child, we rescued it, but because the lack of oxygen is too long, the hospital equipment is not very complete, so it may be cerebral palsy."
This is my birth, I thought I would grow up happily under the care of my parents, but I didn't expect it to be just the beginning of a nightmare.
