Meet you丨Only fingers can move! How does an 18-year-old sick and disabled youth from a mountain village counter-attack to become an e-sports anchor?
His name is Sa Ye, an 18-year-old boy who lives in Songlin Village, Tangtang Town, Xuanwei City, Yunnan.
Sa Ye has been suffering from congenital muscular dystrophy since he was seven years old and cannot stand. Now he can't even straighten his hands and feet, and only his fingers can move normally.
But relying on the only part of the body that can be moved-the finger, Sa Ye has now become an e-sports anchor with 380,000 fans. How did such a counterattack life develop?
18-year-old sick and disabled young man from mountain village becomes e-sports anchor
From the beginning of his contact with e-sports, Sa Ye gave himself a screen name, "Qizai".
Every day from 5 pm to 11 pm, is the live broadcast time of "Qizai".
He has been in close contact with e-sports for nearly two years, and now he has attracted 380,000 fans.
In reality, his live broadcast room is actually just such a simple room.
A low table, a computer and a mobile phone brought Sa Ye from this remote mountain village to the other end of the network.
Sa Ye:
I never thought about it, I never thought about it. When I started live broadcasting, I never thought that there would be so many people supporting (me) and so many fans.
Netizen:
Now he has won a lot of championships, all of which are based on his own hard work. At that time, he broadcasted for a long time every day, and then he was still practicing privately after the broadcast.
I know all of these, anyway I admire him.
The "Qizai" in the live broadcast are very focused, using voice to communicate with their peers from time to time. On the phone screen, the fingers are as flexible as playing.
He often leads the team to win competitions, has also won the championship of well-known events in the field of e-sports, and has participated in teams with many e-sports celebrities.
Reporter:
Where have you been now?
Sa Ye
:
Hainan, Suzhou, Xi'an, Chengdu, these are all photos of watching them playing games as guests.
These are photos taken when I went to the beach. These were all taken during the first flight (time).
Only the fingers can move hard to practice e-sports and refuse to donate
Sa Ye has just turned 18 this year. At this age, he was supposed to be preparing for university entrance exams on campus, but because of his health, he had to drop out of school from an early age.
In recent years, his parents have been treating him for his illnesses, running around, relying on the meager income from farming to support his medical expenses.
Sa Ye, who grew up day by day, had to stay in a yard of more than ten square meters most of the time, but his aspirations became stronger day by day.
He wants to try to become an independent person through his own efforts.
Sa Ye's father Sa Yuquan:
He played games, and he could only say that he had something to do. He was also happy, so he wouldn't think about it.
Being able to find something that interests him, work hard for it, and cheer up to pursue his dreams, such Sa Ye makes the family feel happy and proud.
This children's swing car is the tool Sa Ye mainly relies on in daily activities.
Because he was born with muscular dystrophy, he had to drop out of school early when he was a child.
Sa Ye's father Sa Yuquan:
When he couldn't stand up at that time, his hands and feet were still stretched out. Now there is only 50% of the space for the feet (and) of the hands, half of them.
As his condition worsened, Sa Ye left school in the second grade of elementary school.
For more than ten years, his family has taken him to many hospitals, but they have never found an effective treatment plan.
As Sa Ye needs someone to carry him wherever he goes, his parents choose not to go out to work and stay in the village to take care of him.
Sa Ye's father Sa Yuquan:
It turned out that when we were young, we carried (him) to work in the fields. When we grew up, we couldn't carry it on our backs. So (let) him in the house and gave him a mobile phone.
Songlin Village, Dangtang Town, where Sa Ye’s family is located, is more than 2,300 meters above sea level. The climate is cold and humid, and there are many cloudy and rainy days. It is inconvenient for Sa Ye to go out. Most of the time, he stays in his yard of more than ten square meters. The only fun.
Seeing that his parents are very hard working in farming and their meager income can hardly support the expenses for medical treatment and medicine, Sa Ye wanted to relieve some of the burden for his family.
Sa Ye:
Anyway, I will use my actions to prove that I can reduce the burden on my family and that I can prove that I am like others.
Because the only part of the body that can move normally is the fingers, he likes e-sports games and began to practice daily on his mobile phone.
He thought that maybe something could be done through e-sports.
Later, Sa Ye tried to start a webcast, but he didn't expect more and more netizens to notice him.
In early 2019, a webcast platform and enthusiasts gave him a computer. Since then, he has officially become an e-sports anchor under the nickname "DK-770".
Sa Ye: When
others only saw me live, they saw that you had so many fans and so many people helping you, but they actually couldn't see (my) my own private efforts.
(I) persisted in training for a year, but in fact you have to pay a lot to do well, never thought of giving up.
At the beginning, Sa Ye had only a few hundred fans. After several months of hard work, his performance list rose day by day. In less than two years, his fans exceeded 380,000.
Some netizens asked for donations after learning the true situation of Sa Ye, but he refused one by one.
Sa Ye: If you
transfer money, it's the same as managing someone asking for money. I just want to make everyone feel that I'm different from others, and then come to pity me.
I don’t need others to help me with what I can do, I do it myself, and then I exercise myself.
Take on family responsibilities, face up to life and establish new goals
When he first started live broadcasting, Sa Ye's income was not high. Now, he has earned more than 10,000 yuan a month. Not only can he afford his sister's tuition, he also saves some surplus money in the family.
From the original family burden to the current economic pillar of the family, Sa Ye has gradually built up his self-confidence.
In a world that outsiders can't imagine, he has found his own value and wants to continue this effort, hoping that his dream can be bigger and the power to chase dreams can be greater.
Sa Ye:
Just try my best to change and make this family better and better.
Bring a certain income to parents, and then make good use of for sister to go to college.
Through his own efforts, the family's life is getting better and better. Such changes have given Sa Ye more confidence and sunshine.
But maybe he didn't know, but his father didn't really feel relieved for a day, his son's condition was always on his father's heart.
Sa Ye's father Sa Yuquan: The
doctor told us that his life expectancy was only 22 years old with this condition.
So I guess he only has four years, and he (knows) these things, and he (knows) himself.
Sa Ye:
Do your best anyway, be positive, enjoy life, put your mentality a little better, and do your own thing.
For Sa Ye, the encouragement of netizens is also the warmest motivation for him to persevere.
Netizen left a message:
"I didn't expect Qizai to be such a tenacious man."
"Come on Qizai! Always maintain an optimistic and positive spirit. Although the illness has brought you physical torture, there are so many people who like you and care about you. Your future is still very long. Never give up fighting the disease. , You will get better if you keep going!"
In August this year, with the help of an enthusiastic netizen, Sa Ye went to a hospital in Chengdu, Sichuan for a review. However, the doctor said that his condition could not be cured and he could only delay his development by taking drugs.
For such a result, Sa Ye is still very optimistic.
Sa Ye:
I feel that I am the same as everyone else. I face life with optimism and love life well. Such a mentality is good.
This year, with the support of the national relocation policy for poverty alleviation, the Sa Ye family was allocated a new house.
Not long ago, his father wanted to take a look at their new house with Sa Ye on his back.
Sa Ye's father Sa Yuquan:
There is also a toilet, and there is also a toilet here.
This new house of more than 100 square meters is a new starting point for the new life of Sa Ye's family, and in Sa Ye's heart, he has a new goal.
To prepare for the next e-sports "city competition", the goal is still the champion.
Turn longings into fingertips to dance and harvest a wonderful life
Even if only the fingers can move, as long as you have a heart that never gives up, you can still realize your value and harvest a wonderful life.
Sa Ye was trapped in a wheelchair, but instead of trapping his life in pain, he seized even a little hope to create his own future.
Flying at your fingertips, you must have a miracle that belongs to you.
Bless Sa Ye.
