to treat these children as they treat their children. Guo Jianzheng, the newspaper reporter, at 5 p.m., the battle of Yu Zhi pulled two son Hua Wei's hand and walked out of the service center of the mentally retarded people in Ji'nan. At this time, a mentally retarded girl also went to the door and stared at the mother and son of two people. "Good-bye!" "war jade" gently waved at the child, signalled her to hurry back. "See you again!" saw the movement of Zhan Yuzhi. The child waved his hand, and two ambiguous words came out of his mouth. Hua Wei, who had always been shrinking his head, shook his thin arm and made a simple farewell gesture.
war Jade's identity is special. She is the mother of two mentally retarded patients and the "mother" of the mentally handicapped service center.
"is dead, but it's really dead and worried." from the end of December 2012, the children of Kei had organized children to take part in a series of festivals, and Zhan Yuzhi and other teachers, the director of the center, were also on the stage. One of them is called "scrubbing" dance, which is based on Teachers' daily experience of washing clothes and diapers for mentally retarded patients.
now, there are 8 teachers in the Ji'nan Kei mental retardation service center, nursing and rehabilitative training for 18 mentally handicapped persons. These patients are the youngest 9 years old, the big is nearly 30 years old, they have different degrees of mental retardation, 70% also have autism. "How much trust the parents entrusted the children to us, I can not put this trust in it." Zhan Yuzhi said, I know the mood of the parents, "no way to go, life is worse than death, but it is really dead and worried." In 1987, the 33 year old war Yu Zhi gave birth to twin sons in his hometown of Zhaoyuan. My brother is Dawei, and his brother is Hua Wei. But in the 8 months of the great great brothers, everything changed. After diagnosis, the brain of the little brother is injured, and later there will be mental retardation and other sequelae.
when the children reach the age of two or three, the only hope of the war is that the two children are handicapped by their language and behavior, and can not take care of themselves. War jade quit his job and went to kindergarten with his children, but their situation did not change. "Bitterness is bitter, but there is no turning back." for the next few years, the war and her husband took two children to seek medical advice, but the situation of the two children did not improve. In 1995, she came to Ji'nan with two children. When seeking medical advice in Beijing, some experts told her that the child's mental retardation would not be effective by drug treatment.
after trial, Dawei was left by the school, but Hua Wei was too retarded because of mental retardation and autism, and the school could not accept it. Warring Yu Zhi rented a house near ten weft eight road. While reading along, he took care of Huawei. At first, Dawei could not go to school on his own. It doesn't matter if you run every day. On the other hand, a child crying and shouting after his illness, on the other hand, was surrounded by cold or even unpleasant words.
the relatives of the old family did not understand the behavior that she had been suffering from the cottage industry. "Is the child not learning to be a waste, you can't keep them at home?" even the landlord advised her more than once. "Go home, why must a person suffer here!" "bitterness is bitter, but there is no turning back." He thought, if he had given up, will the child always be like this? Let Zhan Yuzhi be pleased, when the storm comes, the house is not scattered, and her daughter and her husband give her the greatest support, and she still supports her. In the fourth year, Dawei learned to go to school on his own, and Yu Zhi finally saw some hope. "The most happy thing is to see the child is good, laugh." after 9 years of study, Dawei life has basically been able to take care of himself. Hua Wei's situation has also stabilized. He returned to his home in Zhaoyuan with his two children.
but in 2007, after some ideological struggles, war Yu Zhi farewell to his hometown and returned to Ji'nan with his two sons. In the process of caring for the great brothers, she contacted many parents of mentally retarded children. The Ji'nan based intellectual disability service center invited her to join her after knowing her situation. In June 2007, war Yu became the head of the center.
nursing and rehabilitation training for autistic patients is a thorny road. In the process of accompanying Dawei and Hua Wei, he accumulated a lot of experience. She used the feelings and skills of her own child to be used in other mentally retarded children.
"the happiest thing is to see the kids get better and laugh." Zhan Yuzhi said that although the work is costly, but the child does not feel tired or disheartened, as long as the children have a little bit of change, the heart is sweet. What worries her is that the society is not paying enough attention to the services of autistic adults. Apart from lack of policy support, service centers sometimes encounter discrimination and resistance. When the service center was founded in 2007, the address was located in the urban area, but many people did not understand it. "Some residents worry that the disabled children frighten the children in the community, and they are just going to rush us away." Now, Zhan Yuzhi said, they have moved three times. Although there are difficulties in
, he said he did not dare to disappoint his parents. "As long as I do not fall, I will accompany these children."
