This tearful girl is Zhu Ting, a famous volleyball player in China. Before that, her brother died of leukemia.
The news didn't reach Zhu Ting until she went home for a holiday and wanted to see her brother. Her parents didn't tell the whole story.
For Zhu Ting, the untimely death of her younger brother has always been an unhealed scar in her heart.
Why did Zhu Ting's parents keep the news a secret? What happened to Zhu Ting?
Zhu Ting is from Dancheng, Zhoukou City, Henan Province. Dancheng was a poor county for a long time, and it was not until 20 19 that this hat was taken off.
Zhu Ting's home is in Dancheng, and her family can be imagined.
Zhu Ting's parents are farmers, and the couple make a living with their backs to the loess.
Before Zhu Ting was born, Zhu Ting's parents had given birth to two daughters. After she was born, they gave birth to two daughters and a son in succession.
A poor family with a large population is always prone to have bad associations that favor boys over girls.
Families in Zhu Ting are different. Although the older children are all girls, their parents have never been hard on them because they want to treat boys well.
For a family of eight, it is not easy to eat and wear warm clothes.
There are eight people with eight mouths, and everyone has to eat enough, which means that Zhu Ting's parents must redouble their efforts to make money in order to keep the family running.
In order to earn money, Zhu Ting's father, Zhu Anliang, opened a garage and earned some extra money by craft.
Because Zhu Anliang's craftsmanship is good and his fees are reasonable, there are always people coming and going to repair his carport, and the business is endless.
By mending this bowl of rice, Zhu Anliang was finally able to barely feed a large family.
In this difficult but warm environment, Zhu Ting grew up quietly. Unlike girls of the same age, Zhu Ting showed amazing height talent in junior high school.
Zhu Ting has grown to 1.7 meters while the little girl of the same age is still standing on tiptoe to measure her height.
This height can be said to stand out from the crowd, and many boys of the same age have to give up in front of Zhu Ting.
Because of Zhu Ting's height, her class teacher specially talked to her and suggested that she go to exercise.
Zhu Ting was only 13 years old, so naturally she couldn't make a decision. She rode home by bike and took her father Zhu Anliang to see the headmaster.
The head teacher and Zhu Anliang talked a lot. After listening to it, Zhu Anliang also thinks that sports is a good way out.
"Xiao Ting, learning sports will suffer a lot. Are you sure you can stick to it? " Zhu Anliang didn't forget to ask her daughter for advice.
At that time, Zhu Ting stood upright in the head teacher's office, patting his chest proudly to make sure there was no problem.
With the permission of parents and Zhu Ting's reply, the head teacher in Zhu Ting introduced Zhu Ting to Zhoukou Sports School.
Zhu Ting's family conditions are not rich, so it is really difficult for parents to provide education for several children.
Considering the domestic situation, Zhu Ting chickened out at first. She told her father that she wanted to go out to work.
Zhu Anliang rejected Zhu Ting's proposal. He told Zhu Ting that she didn't have to worry about money, she just needed the training of calm mind.
Besides tuition, Zhu Ting has a lot of living expenses at school.
The training of competitive sports is very tiring. In order to keep in the best condition, Zhu Ting must eat meat every day.
In recent years, for ordinary families, meat can not be bought casually.
In order to support Zhu Ting, Zhu Anliang borrowed a sum of money from relatives and friends, and all the money was used for tuition and living expenses in Zhu Ting.
In front of Zhu Ting, Zhu Anliang never exposed the embarrassment at home. He always tries his best to give her the support she deserves.
Fortunately, Zhu Ting didn't live up to her father's painstaking efforts, and her excellent performance in the sports school quickly attracted the attention of the principal.
The headmaster thinks that Zhu Ting is a good prospect and has made a training plan for her.
In 2008, Zhu Ting, who trained in Zhoukou Sports School for one year, successfully entered Henan Sports School after being selected at different levels.
The tuition of Henan Sports School is much higher than that of Zhoukou Sports School, and the expensive tuition makes Zhu Ting back down again.
At this time, Zhu Anliang learned her sports talent from Zhu Ting's coach, and he immediately decided to continue studying for Zhu Ting anyway.
The educational model of sports schools is different from ordinary schools, and most sports schools require students to carry out closed training.
At that time, Zhu Ting was only 14. She had to stay away from her hometown and relatives and study abroad for a long time.
During the day, Zhu Ting not only learns cultural knowledge, but also carries out six or seven hours of high-intensity physical training.
This is not an easy thing for a little girl of 14 years old.
Whenever Zhu Ting feels that she can't go on, she always thinks of her parents and brothers and sisters who are far away from home.
Her parents put a lot of effort into sending her to a sports school. She must be extremely energetic to repay her parents.
In sports school, Zhu Ting often misses the steamed bread made by her mother. When Zhu Anliang knew about it, she always gave it to her by tricycle herself.
This is a rare opportunity for Zhu Ting and his father to meet. Every time Zhu Anliang comes, Zhu Ting is always very happy.
Once, when Zhu Ting went to buy steamed bread, he was surprised to find that his mother and brother also came, which was unprecedented.
Zhu Ting excitedly ran to hug his mother and brother and stroked his brother's head with concern.
Zhu Ting's younger brother is the youngest child in the family. Because of this, Zhu Ting's sisters love him very much.
Zhu Ting's younger brother is also very sensible. He never makes unreasonable demands because he is young.
"Xiao Ting, is it difficult to train at school?" Zhu Anliang asked Zhu Ting with concern.
"It's not difficult, I'm used to it. Today, my parents and younger brother came to send me steamed bread. "
Zhu Ting's mother picked up Zhu Ting's younger brother and said, "He said he missed Xiao Ting's sister, so we should take him here to have a look."
Zhu Ting discovered at this moment that his brother's lips were closed and his ruddy face was a little pale for some reason.
At first, she thought her brother was a little uncomfortable because of the bumps on the road, so she quickly took out the lollipop in her bag and handed it to him.
Zhu Ting's younger brother took the lollipop and smiled weakly. His illness became more and more obvious.
"Brother is ill? Is it serious? How did he lose so much weight? " Zhu Ting spoke out his doubts like a spill the beans.
"He accidentally caught a cold when he went out to play a few days ago. He will be all right in a few days. You can train with peace of mind. " Zhu Ting's mother's eyes flickered.
After all, Zhu Ting is still a child. When her parents said that her brother was fine, she believed her. She gave her brother a hug and asked her parents to take him to rest quickly.
"When you are ready, my sister will buy you something delicious." Hearing this sentence, Zhu Ting's younger brother appeared a happy expression on his face.
"Xiao Ting, we took our brother for an injection." Soon, Zhu Ting's parents left in a hurry with their son.
Zhu Ting didn't doubt him, so she sent her parents to the school gate. Before leaving, she handed the yogurt she bought to her brother.
Seeing this, Zhu Ting's parents' eyes filled with tears. They fought back their heartache and turned away.
What Zhu Ting doesn't know is that at this moment, her brother has been diagnosed with acute leukemia.
Zhu Anliang knows that Zhu Ting loves this little brother very much. If she knew that his brother had leukemia, she would definitely take time off to take care of him.
In this way, Zhu Ting's training will fall behind, which is very fatal for an athlete who needs to keep his state at all times.
In order to give Zhu Ting peace of mind to train at school, the family reached a consensus, and no one told Zhu Ting about it.
Therefore, Zhu Ting has been kept in the dark. She thought her brother just had a fever and cough and would recover soon.
Between training sessions, Zhu Ting always fantasizes about going home to see his brother on his next vacation.
Meanwhile, Zhu Ting's parents are worried about Zhu Ting's younger brother's treatment fee.
Leukemia is a kind of cancer that is difficult to cure, and it needs bone marrow transplantation to be completely cured.
The cost of bone marrow transplantation is undoubtedly a mountain for an ordinary family.
In order to get Zhu Ting into a sports school, Zhu Ting's parents almost lost everything and even owed a lot of foreign debts.
In this case, Zhu Ting's brother's medical expenses are like the last straw to crush the camel, which makes Zhu Anliang and his wife breathless.
In order to raise money, Zhu Anliang sold all the fixed assets that could be converted into money, and Zhu Ting's two sisters also worked outside to earn money.
Although Zhu Ting's family has made great efforts, they still haven't raised enough money for Zhu Ting's brother to have an operation.
Fortunately, Zhu Ting's family has a relative who is willing to vouch for them. Zhu Anliang went through a lot of trouble and finally got a loan from the bank.
At this time, a good-hearted person who is willing to donate bone marrow to Zhu Ting's younger brother has also been found, and the situation seems to have improved.
On the day of the operation, Zhu Ting's family was very nervous. Everyone was pacing outside the operating room, praying for a smooth operation.
A few hours later, the doctor finally pushed Zhu Ting's brother out: "Congratulations, the operation was very successful."
Zhu Anliang and his wife wept with joy and hurried to push their son back to the ward to take care of him.
Zhu Anliang thought, only need to wait for a period of time, the son's health will improve, then they can be a family reunion.
But no one expected that in just one month, Zhu Ting's younger brother's body had a rejection reaction.
After discovering this, the hospital tried its best to save the child.
But the disease is ruthless, and no matter how hard people try, they can't overcome the disease that persists in taking people's lives.
The red light outside the rescue room went out with a bang, and the doctor "sentenced" the death penalty with a sad expression.
Zhu Ting's parents are in great pain. They sacrificed everything to save their son, but they left them after all.
In order to ensure Zhu Ting's training, they still kept the news from Zhu Ting, during which Zhu Ting called back several times to ask about his brother's condition.
Every time, Zhu Anliang suppressed his inner grief and told Zhu Ting that "the family and his brother are fine".
After a while, Zhu Ting ran home from training, holding yogurt specially bought for his brother.
"Mom, brother? I bought him yogurt, why didn't he come out? " Zhu Ting touched his head and asked his mother.
Zhu Ting's mother didn't know how to speak. Her mouth opened and closed again, and she couldn't say a word.
Under the gaze of Zhu Ting, Zhu Ting's mother's eyes became sour, and she even shed tears of sadness.
Zhu Ting was immediately struck by lightning, and she seemed to understand everything. When Zhu Anliang saw this scene, he knew that paper could not contain fire, so he told Zhu Ting all the truth.
Under the guidance of his parents, Zhu Ting came to his brother's grave. She plopped down on her knees with tears all over her face.
"Mom and dad, you rest assured! I will definitely return the money for treating my brother! " Zhu Ting said firmly after learning the truth.
After this incident, Zhu Ting seems to have grown up overnight.
She trained harder and didn't want to waste a minute. Her only wish is to join the national team and make money to pay off her debts.
After training, Zhu Ting's volleyball talent was gradually revealed, so she was elected to the volleyball team.
20 1 1 year, 17-year-old Zhu Ting became a member of the national young women's volleyball team because of her outstanding performance.
In the national team, Zhu Ting is more diligent. She quickly mastered volleyball skills and gained a foothold in the national team.
20 15 China women's volleyball team made a strong attack and won the gold medal in the World Cup. In this game, Zhu Ting's glory appeared.
She won the "MVP" on the field and was also called "the genius of China women's volleyball team that took 30 years to be born".
After that, Zhu Ting shined brilliantly on the volleyball court, and the success of China women's volleyball team could not be separated from the efforts of Zhu Ting and every member of the women's volleyball team.
Flowers, applause, honors and champions are all in Zhu Ting's pocket. Through hard work, she finally paid off the debts owed by her parents.
In addition to helping her parents pay their debts, she also donated a large sum of money to her hometown to build spacious and bright roads for her hometown.
The super volleyball star who came out of the countryside has been in Do not forget your initiative mind.
In 2022, Zhu Ting had to temporarily withdraw from women's volleyball training due to injury. This is a very uncomfortable thing for Zhu Ting who loves volleyball.
In order to get to back in the game as soon as possible, she has been working hard to actively cooperate with doctors for treatment and rehabilitation training.
In the near future, maybe we can see Zhu Ting in the volleyball match.
Come on, Zhu Ting! Come on, China Volleyball!
