  On September 1, the reporter learned that the list of "2020 Chinese People of Mercy and Filial Piety" was announced and Wang Baozhu was successfully selected.

  Born in 1957, Wang Baozhu was a boxing coach in a special agent company of the Tianjin Armed Police Force and later worked in a local factory.

  In 1984, Wang Baozhu married Liu Huiqin who worked in the same factory.

And Liu Huiqin was born prematurely at seven months of pregnancy, and the baby was given a critical illness notice when the baby was born.

  "We named the child'Wang Qiang', hoping that he can live strong." In Wang Baozhu's memory, Wang Qiang was diagnosed with cerebral palsy and mental retardation when he was 3 years old. "For our couple, it is like Like a bolt from the blue sky, his mother held him in tears day and night."

  From talking to learning to walk, in order to allow Wang Qiang to live a normal life, the couple has put in unimaginable hard work. "But seeing him, my heart is full of love involuntarily. This It is my son, the crystallization of love between me and my wife."

  Since Wang Qiang was diagnosed with cerebral palsy and mental retardation, Wang Baozhu and Liu Huiqin have been running between the hospital and home, but the reality has made him uncomfortable. "My son will not be able to take care of himself until he is 6 years old. I am worried. "

  Therefore, many people persuaded Wang Baozhu to have another child, but he bluntly said that he should love Wang Qiang wholeheartedly.

  Wang Baozhu remembered that an expert once told him that the rehabilitation effect of children with cerebral palsy and their living conditions after they grow up are not determined by the doctor, but by the parents of the child. "Only the belief that we will never give up is the child. The real medicine."

  "So I taught myself massage. From 8 am to 12 am, I massage Wang Qiang for 4 hours a day." Under Wang Baozhu's three years of persistence, Wang Qiang learned to walk and also learned addition and subtraction, which made him see hope.

  Wang Baozhu told reporters that at the same time, his wife taught her son at home as soon as he was free. "When my son was in the second grade, he scored 100 on the math test. At that moment, I felt that all the efforts were worthwhile."

  "Patients with cerebral palsy are more or less bullied in society, so I wanted to teach him boxing to protect himself." All kinds of eyesight did not defeat Wang Baozhu's love of a son. He wanted to do his best to accompany his son. growing up.

  In order to improve his competitive ability, Wang Baozhu turned himself into a human sandbag.

In one exercise, Wang Qiang hit his right eye with a punch, and Wang Baozhu suddenly lost consciousness.

When he wakes up, his right eye loses its light forever.

  From the age of 6 to 24, Wang Baozhu has not stopped training and massaging his son for 15 years.

  "It turned out to be shaking when walking, but now I don't walk at all, and my intelligence has almost recovered." When it comes to his son's changes, Wang Baozhu's words are full of pride.

  Under the training of Wang Baozhu and Liu Huiqin, Wang Qiang won the championship in the 69 kg competition of the National Boxing Association Boxing Championship and became the first local professional boxer with disabilities.

In the struggle with fate, Wang Qiang won one round after another.

And behind this lies the selfless love and support of his father, Wang Baozhu.

  But the sky was unpredictable, and when Wang Baozhu thought happiness was coming, disaster came again.

  At the end of 2019, Wang Baozhu was diagnosed with uremia due to fatigue.

  "So you saved me, now I save you." In Wang Qiang's eyes, his father has always been the "backer" of the family. After learning that his father was diagnosed, Wang Qiang decided to change his kidney to his father.

  But this was strongly rejected by Wang Baozhu.

  "It's hard to cultivate him into a healthy person. I don't want him to lose a kidney." Wang Baozhu said.

Therefore, Wang Qiang, who had not played a boxing match for five years, returned to the ring and saved his father's treatment expenses through the game bonus. “It takes 500,000 yuan to change the kidney. First save money, and then wait for the source of the kidney to protect the family together.”

  Now, Wang Baozhu needs dialysis 4 times a week, and Wang Qiang massages him every day to take care of his little by little. "I am very happy. With such a filial son, I will live strong."

  "We are father and son, but also friends." Looking at his son's body from time to time, Wang Baozhu had the idea of ​​committing suicide, but his son's efforts made him dispel this idea, "Try to live, this family cannot be separated."
