The surrounding environment is a little desolate except a barren hill and a fast road, which is the "leprosy village". When there was movement in the yard, some of the patients came out of the house and some looked out of the room glass. In addition to the occasional relief activities, there are few outsiders at ordinary times, so the patients are very rare when they see strangers.
Han Qin, a pseudonym, took a photograph of her 5 year old daughter and looked at it with a curled hand. In 2008, Han Qin, who was working in Anhui, became a mother but was soon found leprosy. On the night of her diagnosis, her husband disappeared in the middle of a child with a baby in his arms and disappeared.
although he knew his husband was in Anhui's parents' home, he didn't go looking for it, and she was afraid of infecting her family. She returned to her hometown in Zouping, Shandong, and went to Ji'nan for treatment in 2010. Because she could not bear the pain of thinking girl, she once had mental disorder and constantly smashed things.
doctors treat leprosy at the same time, they also treat her mental illness and relieve her mental state. In July 2012, Han Qin was completely cured without infection. After contact, her husband finally agreed to let her see her daughter. 2 years later, Han Qin went out for the first time and went to Anhui to find her daughter.
the husband was married at that time. I didn't dare to let me go home to see it. It was just about a small hotel. When I saw my daughter, I really couldn't control it, holding the baby and crying loudly. But the children do not know me, hide and seek, do you understand my mood? "Han Qin said.
after a brief meeting, she brought back her daughter's picture, brought back her deep thoughts, and returned to the silent and cold hospital, where she had no place to save. In the photo, the daughter of Han Qin is dressed in red, with a sheep's horn braid and a smiling face. Every day, the Han Qin always takes out a number of times.

the village does not allow her to enter the village again
with Han Qin living in the same ward, the 40 year old Chen Ping (the pseudonym). The night before, my husband just called her and said she didn't want her, so she was still in deep pain when she met. "When I first came, my object often sent something to me, but gradually it was not so diligent. In fact, he was good to me before. " Chen Ping said.
what Chen Ping could not understand was that after she was ill, her village had been extended, and she did not allow her to go to the village again. She was like a plague. "At that time, when I was sent, the villagers wore protective clothing, and the doctor shouted to me from dozens of meters." She recalls.
medical staff
life has no worry but
in every leprosy room, most of them put their family photos on the head of the bed. Spring Festival is coming, but many of them have no home to return, or they dare not go home. "The Spring Festival is a day of reunion, who does not want to go home! In fact, they are not contagious, that is to say, in addition to the physical disability of leprosy to them, they are the same as those of normal people. But even if they get sick, society will be prejudiced against them. There are some patients in our hospital who have gone home but are unable to return to the hospital because of their discrimination. Guo Luhua, the Secretary of the Ji'nan skin defense Institute, told reporters. The youngest patients in the "leprosy village" are 28 years old and 85 years old. They live in a two - living room, with TV, air conditioning and free medical care in the country. Because of diseases, they are either light or heavy with disabilities, some arms and legs curl, and some eyes are valgus and incomplete. But what is more painful to them is that there is no caring for their relatives.
Guo Luhua said that although the prevalence of leprosy has been greatly reduced and treatment can not be treated the same day, the social discrimination against leprosy patients has not changed much. "Other social people will be prejudiced against them." Guo Luhua said that in recent years, hospitals often go to various counties and townships to investigate thoroughly, and the living conditions of leprosy patients make her feel extremely sad.
"there lived a couple of leprosy old couple in a village. Because of physical disability and other people's unusual vision, they hardly ever leave home. And the old man's three meals a day, is only the village barefoot doctors to send them three pancakes a day. Guo Luhua said that leprosy patients need more care from the society and everyone. A handshake and a smile will make them feel warm.

ice heart - sister: I think of the 2011 Labor Day holiday. We just entered the leprosy rehabilitation village. The PT group said to us, "do not promise the old people, do not promise to come again, they will really wait." I always remember that.
Feng Gao Gao: it used to be the old leprosy village and all the people living in leprosy. I asked, "Lord, can I sit in your bed?" the surprise of the man's face said, "as long as you don't abandon it!" this society needs us more care, at least not to discriminate against them.
