Extended information
Shi Tiesheng was born in Beijing on January 4, 1951. He attended Tsinghua High School and was a top student in the school. He was very good at sports and was especially good at the 80-meter hurdles. , he ran with splayed legs and his upper body swayed like a pendulum. He ran like a bison just out of the Colosseum. As long as there was a competition in which he participated, he would be first in the sprint.
When he was 18 years old, Shi Tiesheng went to Guanjiazhuang in northern Shaanxi to join the team. Living in a cave dwelling, in the winter in northern Shaanxi, the cave dwelling was as cold as an ice cave. Shi Tiesheng wrapped his head in a coat and curled up into a ball, leaving only his mouth to breathe continuously to survive the long cold night. When it rained or snowed, he would get into the cowshed. The cowshed was full of excrement and urine, and there was no place to take a nap.
When he was 20 years old, Shi Tiesheng was herding cattle in the mountains. He encountered heavy rain and hail and had nowhere to hide. On the raviney Loess Plateau, only Shi Tiesheng and an old cow were left in the heavy rain.
The rain stopped and when he returned home, Shi Tiesheng had a high fever and became seriously ill. He thought that his body was strong and he could carry it and pass. As a result, fate played a huge joke on him. A year later, his lower limbs were completely paralyzed, and he went from being the 80-meter hurdle champion to a wheelchair user.
From then on, Shi Tiesheng’s life was summed up in one sentence: his main job was to get sick and write some things in his spare time. He said: "I am disabled, but not a useless person." After being paralyzed, Shi Tiesheng was writing and looking for a job. After work, I would roll my wheelchair to the street factory every day to go to work. I painted on antique furniture and earned more than ten yuan a month to supplement my family income. I have been doing this for 7 years.
In his early years, he lived in the innermost part of a large courtyard in Qianyongkang Hutong, Beijing. From the courtyard door to the house door, the wheelchair had to walk dozens of meters of uneven dirt roads. If he was not careful, the wheelchair would overturn. . The wheelchair overturned, and Shi Tiesheng didn't like calling anyone, so he sat on the ground and first raised the wheelchair, then used his arms to push himself up.
His small house is only six or seven square meters. Apart from the bed and desk, the remaining space in the house is only enough for a wheelchair to turn around. In such a small place, friends often visit him. In the eyes of many people, Shi Tiesheng's life fell into a trough and he should have become silent, autistic and desperate.
But when these friends saw Shi Tiesheng, they were amazed. Not only did Shi Tiesheng not give up on himself, but he was extremely cheerful and chatted endlessly. As long as he was interested in fun things and delicious food, he was obsessed with them.
From literature to sports, and from sports to travel, we talked about everything. He especially likes to talk about food, and the conversation is interesting: "The mutton is better from Niujie! The soy sauce beef is still authentic from Baizhifang!" Even Li Xiaolao's Shaobing, who returned to his hometown in Changying, knows all about it. .
After falling ill, Shi Tiesheng's appetite remained unabated, and he especially loved eating meat. He happened to be a tiger, so his friends laughed at him and gave him the nickname "Carnivore."
Writer Wang Anyi went to see him for the first time, thinking that Shi Tiesheng would tell about his tragic life and lament the impermanence of fate. As a result, Shi Tiesheng was chatting with him about dumplings from beginning to end. Wang Anyi said that Shi Tiesheng's optimism and frankness put those of us who are able-bodied to shame.
Another time, a few friends went to see him and were in time for dinner. Shi Tiesheng pulled them and said, "Don't leave. I'll cook for you guys and make delicious food." She was willing to cause him trouble, but he sat in his wheelchair, rolled up his sleeves and started cooking. While cooking, I was chatting and laughing with everyone. During that meal, several friends burst into tears.
Life is like this. A truly strong person will not die heroically because of something, but will live happily and seriously because of something.
