One night in the spring of 2019, under the dim street lights, female college student Cui Yiwen and her classmate Xiao Liangxia returned to their dormitory from self-study in the evening, walking and chatting as usual. Suddenly, a man rushed towards Xiaoliang. Cui Yiwen found that the man had a knife in his hand, and immediately pushed Xiaoliang aside and shouted: "Run!"

The man's knife did not hit Xiaoliang. But it plunged into Cui Yiwen's waist, and the blood immediately dyed the skirt of his clothes red.

Cui Yiwen didn't pay attention and continued to rush towards the gangster who stabbed Xiaoliang with a knife. The man brutally stabbed Cui Yiwen six more times. Blood dripped down Cui Yiwen's black skirt and onto the ground.

After the gangster left, the classmate called the emergency number. Cui Yiwen calmly called the counselor to explain the situation while holding trabecular pressure on the punctured artery. After arriving at the hospital, she asked the doctor to first rescue Trabecular who had fainted. She also fell into a coma and spent three days in the ICU before she recovered.

What forces drive this young girl, who is only twenty years old, to act bravely and not be afraid of knife-wielding gangsters? More than three years have passed, how has her life changed?

01 Genzheng Miaohong "Second Generation of the Army"

In February 1999, Cui Yiwen was born in a military compound in Fenghua, Zhejiang. Cui Hongwei's father is a navy man. He taught Cui Yiwen according to military standards since she was a child, hoping that she would become a responsible and responsible person.

The father also used his actions to set an example for his daughter.

In 2001, Cui Hongwei performed a mission at sea. A sudden strong wind blew and the ship's steel cables creaked and were in danger of breaking. Cui Hongwei saw a comrade working under the steel cable, and he immediately rushed forward.

The moment the cable disconnected, Cui Hongwei pushed his comrade aside, and the falling steel cable hit Cui Hongwei's back directly. The huge impact caused him to instantly fall to the deck, become a bloody man, and fainted. Although Cui Hongwei survived more than 30 surgeries, he has suffered a fifth-level disability and is unable to perform heavy physical labor. He also needs long-term treatment and maintenance. This is a heavy burden for a family.

Cui Yiwen's mother was heartbroken, and Cui Yiwen, who was only two years old, also burst into tears. Her father helped her wipe away her tears and encouraged her: "Good child, crying can only temporarily vent your emotions, but it cannot solve the problem. As long as we face it with strength, we will always overcome difficulties!"

Although Cui Yiwen still doesn't understand. It was her father's words, but she understood the meaning of strength and responsibility from her father and mother.

At this time, my mother took the initiative to take the lead in making money for the whole family. She borrowed 250,000 yuan from relatives and friends to start a business and made a name for herself in the business world. He made half a million that year and paid off his debts. This also means good things come to good people.

Parents are their children’s best teachers. It was in this family atmosphere that Cui Yiwen's strong, optimistic and cheerful spiritual character was formed.

My father needs to be taken care of by my mother all year round. The sensible Cui Yiwen always tries his best to take care of himself and not cause trouble to his parents. She has a wide range of interests, including research on poetry, wine, tea, flowers, and fragrance. She is also very talented in sports, good at high jump and playing table tennis, and achieved good results in school competitions.

In 2018, with hard work, Cui Yiwen was admitted to the School of Computer and Information Security of Guilin University of Electronic Science and Technology of Guangxi. She never relaxes in her studies, actively participates in various activities of interest and specialization, and is very popular in the class. She always talks about being "happy and brave".

She also loves beauty and selfies, and her smile is very healing. What a proper "treasure girl"!

Unexpectedly, on an ordinary night, Cui Yiwen encountered a gangster. This completely changed the course of her life.

02 A brave young man who acts for justice

On March 10, 2019, after evening self-study at nine o'clock in the evening, Xiao Liang from the dormitory called Cui Yiwen to go back together.

Xiao Liang worriedly mentioned that her ex-boyfriend Liang Mingle threatened to kill her if she didn't agree to get back together. Cui Yiwen comforted Xiao Liang, there will be a solution, and we have to look forward.

Unexpectedly, Liang Mingle was not just talking about venting his grievances, but he was serious about it.

Just as the two of them walked to the light industry building, a black shadow rushed out from the grass on the roadside, calling Xiao Liang's name. They all realized at the same time, it was Liang Mingle! Cui Yiwen saw Liang Minle holding a sharp knife in his hand and quickly pushed Xiaoliang to run away.

Liang Ming was happy to see Cui Yiwen standing in front of him and ruining his affairs, so he stabbed Cui Yiwen's waist with a knife. After stabbing Cui twice, he saw Cui Yiwen falling to the ground and chased Xiao Liang.

Xiao Liang couldn’t outrun Liang Mingle, and he was so frightened that he shouted: “Help! Help!” Liang Mingle’s eyes turned red, and he stabbed Xiao Liang’s body with one knife after another.

Cui Yiwen ignored the severe pain in his body and the gurgling blood. She gritted her teeth and stood up, rushing towards the knife-wielding gangster, once again standing in front of Xiao Liang.

Liang Mingle was in an extremely excited state and would not stop until he got enough killing. As a result, Cui Yiwen, who is 170 centimeters tall and weighs only 90 kilograms, endured the wrath of his six stabs.

Both girls fell in a pool of blood. More and more people gathered around, but they were afraid of the knife in the hands of the gangsters and did not dare to step forward. When Liang Mingle saw so many people, his mind became clearer. Seeing that he had caused a big disaster, he ran away.

The students called the emergency number and sent the two people to the hospital.

While waiting for treatment, Cui Yiwen pressed Trabecular's aorta with his hand. Because her father once told her that it was very important to stop bleeding in the aorta. It was her correct first aid method that bought the doctor precious time for rescue.

Since there were fewer doctors at night, they came to the hospital and the two of them were separated for surgery.

Cui Yiwen first asked the doctor to save Xiaoliang. Trabecular had many wounds on his body and was already unconscious. Cui Yiwen's mental state is acceptable. But when the doctor spent half an hour examining Xiaoliang's wound and then came to see Cui Yiwen, he found that her injury was more serious. The doctor specifically told the nurse to prepare more hemostatic cotton. The two were pushed into the operating room together.

After examination, Cui Yiwen was stabbed eight times throughout his body, three of which caused penetrating injuries. His liver was stabbed directly and his gallbladder was also bruised. There were deep wounds on the chest, abdomen and arms.

Trabecular was stabbed sixteen times. Without Cui Yiwen to block the knife, Xiaoliang would have been more seriously injured. It's really hard to say whether a life can be saved.

At the end of the operation, Cui Yiwen fell into a coma due to excessive blood loss.

That night, Cui Yiwen’s parents received a call from the counselor and were told that something had happened to Cui Yiwen and they should come to Guilin as soon as possible. The couple was in disbelief and quickly called their daughter, but no one answered. They called Cui Yiwen's classmates again, and the girl cried and said: "Yiwen is being rescued in the hospital, and the police have come to the school." Cui's father immediately contacted his comrades in Guilin to visit his daughter in the hospital, and the reply he received was: "The child was stabbed He was injured and is currently in the intensive care unit."

Cui Yiwen's parents wish they could spread their wings and fly to their daughter. They rushed from Hangzhou to Guilin as quickly as possible. The parents were heartbroken to see their daughter's body covered with tubes and her face pale and colorless. When he saw the "staples" used to sew up the wound in his daughter's belly, the tough-guy father, who had been in the army for 28 years, burst into tears. My daughter couldn't bear the pain even when she had her earrings inserted. How could she bear the pain of a sharp blade piercing her flesh and internal organs? After learning what had happened, they felt truly proud of their daughter.

Three days later, Cui Yiwen finally woke up. She opened her eyes and the first thing she said was: "How is Xiao Liang?" She was very happy to hear that Xiao Liang was out of danger. The aftermath of the disaster made her love life even more. She said it was the luckiest thing that both of them were alive.

After Cui Yiwen’s deeds were reported by the media, everyone paid great attention to this matter. Even Xinhua News Agency and the National Youth League praised it. That month, Cui Yiwen’s Weibo followers increased by more than 10,000. Everyone prays that the kind-hearted Cui Yiwen will get well soon.

Xiao Liang’s parents wrote a handwritten letter of thanks to Cui Yiwen and sent a banner to express their gratitude to Cui Yiwen for stepping forward in times of crisis and for saving their daughter’s life. But Cui Yiwen waved her hand and said, "I am a child of a soldier, and it was instinct for me to rush to save her!" She was also very modest when interviewed by the media. When asked whether she would defend her classmate from a knife if she could choose again, Cui Yiwen said without hesitation: "Of course! If I watched her fall in front of me but didn't help her, I would blame myself for the rest of my life." "Of course, if the situation permits, she will call the police and ask more people to help to minimize the damage.

Lying in the hospital bed, Cui Yiwen, who was extremely weak, still optimistically said to his parents: "I'm fine, it doesn't hurt at all!" But when the doctor removed the iron wire suturing his abdomen, , Cui Yiwen gritted his teeth to prevent himself from crying. Her two hands were tightly holding the guardrail of the hospital bed, her arms were shaking, and the bed was shaking.

Cui Yiwen’s physical condition is excellent, and her super self-healing ability enabled her to meet the discharge standards in fifteen days. When she saw the centipede-like wounds on her body, she felt extremely depressed. Especially when she saw the "7" shaped scar that was nearly 30 centimeters long from her chest to her abdomen, she shed tears because of her love for beauty. This was also the only time Cui Yiwen shed tears after this incident happened. Later, she comforted herself: Fortunately, her arms didn’t have such ugly scars, and she could still wear a beautiful dress. Thinking of this, she burst into laughter again. Cui Yiwen's psychological self-healing ability is as powerful as his physical self-healing ability.

Those who harm others will suffer the consequences. The gangster who injured Cui Yiwen and Xiaoliang was finally brought to justice, sentenced to twelve years in prison, and compensated the two girls with more than 60,000 yuan in medical expenses.

03 The lucky winner of the Spring Festival Gala

In April 2019, Cui Yiwen was awarded the title of "Brave Activist for Justice" by the Lingchuan County Government of Guangxi and was honored to join the party. Later, she was named the 8th National Moral Model, and her family also won the honorary title of "National Civilized Family".

She said to herself that honor is not a hydrogen balloon and cannot be allowed to float. She went back to school and studied hard as usual. She did not show off the various honors she had received in her circle of friends, but took some beautiful selfies as before, so that everyone who saw the photos was healed by her sunny smile. She also changed her circle of friends signature to "Be the best version of yourself."

She responded to everyone who left a message on her Weibo without any airs. She also hopes that the media will not waste too many public resources on her. She just did what she could.

Yes, in her mind this is just an ordinary little thing, but it allows people to see the valuable courage and responsibility of the post-90s generation.

She joked that she had too little flesh and her wounds had no chance to adhere. These words make those who hear them feel distressed. Such a thin body bursts out with such great courage and strength. This is the spirit that has been engraved in the bones since childhood. It is admirable and touching.

She is simple and unpretentious and willing to contribute to society. Cui Yiwen began to participate in volunteer services in 2017 and has served a total of 400 hours. During the epidemic control period in 2020, she took online classes while participating in community volunteer activities.

In June 2022, Cui Yiwen graduated from university and returned to his hometown. She is determined to contribute to her hometown and bring her hometown out of the mountains. She established the Cui Yiwen Huixing Volunteer Service Team, which went to communities and schools to conduct publicity. Service teams play an important role in helping needy groups, caring for veterans, and fighting the COVID-19 epidemic.

On January 16, 2023, "Knife Blocking Girl" Cui Yiwen left for Beijing to attend the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. She will take the stage as a moral role model for the new era.

She wants to show the youthful style of Ningbo, a model city of civilization, so that people across the country can feel the warmth of "civilized Ningbo" and receive the New Year blessings from the people of Ningbo.

Kindness requires courage and persistence. The books you read and the roads you travel will become a solid foundation for sticking to kindness.

Cui Yiwen said that the past is past. She will go into battle lightly, learn with an open mind, do her best, and strive to make the greatest contribution to society. This girl is full of enthusiasm, like a fire, illuminating and warming everyone around her.
