An accident, the "black-faced boy" suffered a lot

At noon on November 13, it was raining lightly. In a simple private house in Songzi City, 50-year-old Zhang Guangcui is talking on the phone with his daughter Xiao Yun (pseudonym) who is far away in Chongqing. "Mom, I will graduate in more than two years. At that time, I will definitely save a lot of money to take you to the best hospital for plastic surgery." After hearing this, Zhang Guangcui looked at the picture in the mirror. The face is no longer familiar: most of it is black, uneven, and intimidating. She shook her head and smiled softly. Things have to start from the 1950s. In 1955, Zhang Guangcui was born in a village in the old town of Songzi City. One day when she was more than two years old, her parents locked her at home and sent her to work in the fields. Unexpectedly, Zhang Guangcui fell into the fire pit while playing and burned her face and two small hands. When the parents came back, they saw that their daughter had been burned into "black charcoal". They were so anxious that they quickly washed the injury with black vinegar to reduce inflammation. After more than a month of earth-based treatment, although Zhang Guangcui's injuries were healed, a large area of ??black scar remained, turning him into a terrifying "black-faced child." Due to her ugly appearance, Zhang Guangcui suffered from loneliness since childhood. He didn't go to school until he was 9 years old. Under the discriminatory gaze of some children of the same age, he barely finished the third grade of elementary school and then dropped out of school and returned home. At the age of 28, with the help of well-intentioned people, Zhang Guangcui married a released prisoner who was 13 years older than her. What makes Zhang Guangcui happy is that her husband treats her pretty well after they get married. He understands both cold and hot, and always rushes to do any dirty work. Especially the husband got rid of the bad habit of stealing and lived a peaceful life. In August of that year, she gave birth to a lovely daughter named Xiao Yun. However, the good days did not last long as her husband's "old illness" relapsed. After the Spring Festival in 1987, the husband claimed to have gone out to work and sent back 3,000 yuan more than a month later. In late May, Zhang Guangcui received an official letter from the court: Her husband collaborated with others to steal components from the Three Gorges construction site and shared 13,000 yuan in stolen goods... and was sentenced to five years in prison for the crime of theft. From then on, Zhang Guangcui could no longer lift her head. Due to being born into a specific family, living a difficult life and being influenced by her father's crime, her daughter Xiao Yun became very cold and withdrawn at a young age. In 1993, Zhang Guangcui finally waited for her husband to return from prison. However, the husband once again turned to crime. One night in December of that year, the husband, together with others, pulled a net to steal fish from a private fish pond. He was severely injured by a caregiver with a stick and died more than ten days later.

On impulse, her daughter became a juvenile delinquent

After her husband passed away, Zhang Guangcui pinned all her hopes on her daughter Xiao Yun. However, for Xiao Yun, her father who committed crimes many times and her ugly mother became two psychological obstacles in her life. As she grew older, Xiao Yun's sense of self-esteem became stronger and stronger, and she was always worried that her mother would be discriminated against by others. In order to reduce the harm to her mother from the outside world, Xiao Yun asked her mother to try not to go to school or appear in public places less often. If she has to go out or there is a special event at school that requires parents to be present, Zhang Guangcui wears a large mask and a towel on her head to participate. In 1996, three classes in the second grade of junior high school where Xiao Yun attended held a "student-parent-teacher association" together. Each student must have a parent to participate. The school sent people to invite Zhang Guangcui three times, but Zhang Guangcui had no choice but to come wearing a headscarf and a mask. This is the first time for Zhang Guangcui to participate in such a large-scale gathering. Before entering the venue, she hesitated for a long time. When she took off her headscarf and walked into the venue with her head lowered, hundreds of pairs of eyes from the students and parents present looked at her, as if they were looking at an "alien". Everyone made a noise and commented on Zhang Guangcui. A girl screamed several times: "This man is like the green face and black fangs in Liaozhai..." Upon hearing this, Xiao Yun's face turned blue. She rushed over to fight, but was immediately pulled back by the teacher. After the meeting ended, Xiao Yun grabbed the girl. Not only did the girl not admit her mistake, she also punched Xiao Yun: "Your mother is ugly, uglier than a monster!" In response, Xiao Yun was so angry that she was shaking all over. She thought Without thinking, he picked up a fruit knife and stabbed the girl's chest and abdomen twice. Suddenly, the girl fell heavily to the ground. After a week of emergency rescue, the girl was out of danger.

From then on, Xiao Yun seemed to be a different person, participating in labor and study with a positive and optimistic attitude. At the same time, Zhang Guangcui's long-suppressed ideological accumulation was also eliminated. Seeing that her daughter was fine, she had a new glimmer of hope. In order to earn more money to pay off debts, Zhang Guangcui took the initiative to contract the sewage channel that no one cared about. This 120-meter-long sewage channel originated from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and passed through the Department of Infectious Diseases after several turns. There was a lot of filth remaining in the sewage channel, emitting an unpleasant smell. In addition to doing his job well, Zhang Guangcui always spares two to three hours every day to drag a large snakeskin bag into the sewage channel. It took a full 3 months to finally clear it. The next year, Zhang Guangcui was named "Excellent Cleaner" and "Good Mother" by the Songzi Women's Federation.

In a competition, mother and daughter competed on the same stage

Under the inspiration of her mother, Xiao Yun made rapid progress. She was also rated as a "reform model" by the juvenile office that year. The prison newspaper "Farewell to Yesterday" she edited in chief won the "Innovation Award" from the local judicial department, and also won the second-class merit award and received two awards for reducing the period of reeducation through labor. In the blink of an eye, in May 1999, Xiao Yun came out and re-entered her alma mater after three years of separation. When she first entered the school, she did not feel any ideological pressure and studied and lived together with her classmates. But as time went by, people began to talk quietly, especially some naughty students, who often pointed at her behind her back and even made noises around her, which made Xiao Yun feel depressed again. During the summer vacation, Xiao Yun returned to her mother's rental house. She, who was originally very introverted, became even more taciturn. She helps her mother with things every day. Her mother asks her if she has encountered anything unpleasant, but she says nothing. Soon, the summer vacation was over. Zhang Guangcui gave Xiao Yun 500 yuan in tuition to sign up, but after three days, Xiao Yun still hadn't left. Zhang Guangcui asked carefully, and Xiao Yun finally said what was in his heart: "I don't want to study anymore. I will work with you to make money, and I will do plastic surgery for you in the future." "You, you, you..." Zhang Guangcui was so anxious when he heard this. He couldn't come out, so he finally managed to say: "You are so worthless!" Because he had to go to work, Zhang Guangcui lost his temper with his daughter and left. When she came back from get off work in the evening, she found that Xiao Yun still did not go to school, but was playing games in the Internet cafe opposite. Suddenly, Zhang Guangcui was so angry that he ran over and beat Xiao Yun up. The next day, Zhang Guangcui rode his bicycle and rushed to the school more than 20 kilometers away. When he learned that Xiao Yun had encountered various unbearable blows, his heart was broken. When she went to work in the afternoon, her mind was filled with the question of "how to educate her daughter" and she felt very heavy. While cleaning the sewer, a broken cover fell down accidentally, and the prefabricated plate cut a 3-inch-long bloody hole on the left side of her face. When the doctors rescued Zhang Guangcui and prepared to bandage his facial wounds, Zhang Guangcui only did a simple cleaning and then refused. She figured out that she wanted to educate her daughter to have the courage to face life and the past bravely. This ugly face is the best example. She wanted to come personally to wake up her fallen daughter. When she learned that her mother was injured, Xiao Yun ran to the hospital like crazy. When she saw her mother's increasingly disabled face, she cried heartbreakingly. "Although my mother's face was injured, I decided not to wear a mask and went directly to face everyone. Can you be like my mother?" Zhang Guangcui taught patiently. "Ah?" Xiao Yun looked puzzled, but then she understood immediately and nodded heavily. From then on, Xiao Yun completely woke up. After returning to school, she engraved her mother's disabled face deeply in her heart and studied hard. In July of the next year, she ranked third in the city's high school entrance examination and was admitted to a key middle school in Jingzhou City. After Xiao Yun went to Jingzhou to study, Zhang Guangcui took advantage of her monthly vacation to visit her. She did not wear a mask or a towel, and faced the society with her true face. With her mother's encouragement, Xiao Yun's academic performance ranked among the best in the school every year. In the 2004 college entrance examination, she was admitted to Southwest University of Political Science and Law with an excellent score of 592. Today, she has excellent grades and has become a top student in the school.
