After graduation, he established a brand optical shop "Yangtze Evening News" to witness his growth
In Dong Pingxin's optical shop, a clipping of the "Yangtze Evening News" from April 2010 was posted.
He said: "Yangtze Evening News has witnessed my hardships along the way and the hardships since I started my business, and shared a lot of my joys and achievements, so that more readers can pay attention to me. I am very grateful for the company of "Yangtze Evening News".
In April 2010, this newspaper reported Dong Pingxin's entrepreneurial story under the title of "Post-90s Students with Cerebral Palsy Open Online Store".
In October 2015, on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the Yangtze Evening News, it was reported that Dong Pingxin opened a company and two optical shops.
Recalling the past, Dong Pingxin shed tears.
At the age of 2, he developed a high fever and was later diagnosed by a doctor with spastic cerebral palsy.
In order to treat him, his parents borrowed money from everywhere.
Although he was young, Dong Pingxin knew how difficult it was for his parents.
Not only did he study hard in class, but he also practiced speaking desperately, holding a thin piece of paper against the wall and saying tongue twisters until the paper was wet.
He looks for various opportunities to communicate with his classmates and friends.
In order to improve his expressive ability, Dong Pingxin has undergone 6 major surgeries and numerous rehabilitation trainings.
After graduating from junior high school, Dong Pingxin was admitted to Changzhou Health Higher Vocational Technical School majoring in optometry.
In order to reduce the burden on his parents, he came up with the idea of starting a business under the guidance of the school teachers.
An accidental online shopping experience brought him into contact with e-commerce.
After some fundraising, he established "Xinpeng Studio" and started the road of entrepreneurship.
At the beginning, he mainly engaged in pure virtual value-added business, but because he did not understand the Internet, he wanted to reduce operating costs, and was cheated of 500 yuan of living expenses by a low-priced point card recharge website.
Dong Pingxin can only save as much living expenses as possible to subsidize business expenses.
After three years of training, Dong Pingxin has gradually matured, and his online store has also developed into a store that sells glasses, clothing and shoes.
In 2012, Dong Pingxin returned to Xuzhou after graduation and started his second business in his life.
Because my parents have been engaged in the operation of the optical shop in the township, I hope my son can take over the operation of the optical shop.
At the beginning, Dong Pingxin was reluctant and firmly believed that he could create a better career.
He applied for a 30,000 yuan entrepreneurial loan, found a 12-square-meter shop in Xuzhou, and purchased second-hand instruments and counters.
In order to save money, he bought a single folding bed and slept in the store every day for half a year.
The parents were very distressed when they saw it and tried to persuade their son to go home.
He didn't want his parents to worry, so he transferred the shop to someone else.
In the past six months, Dong Pingxin has made no profit or loss. Although he has suffered a lot, he has accumulated a lot of experience.
Dong Pingxin was always restless when he got home. He used his professional knowledge to analyze the problems in his parents' store, tried to connect with manufacturers directly, and acted as an agent for well-known domestic lens brands.
He made up his mind to register the new company due to intellectual property issues with the store name used by his parents.
After discussing with his parents, he chose to expand the market in Fengxian County, have his own optical shop in the true sense, and registered the brand.
After the customer buys the product, he keeps in touch with the customer.
About half a month after the product was sold, he would call back to customers.
The hard work pays off. With his own efforts, Dong Pingxin has gradually transformed the original small optical shop into a chain brand store with 5 directly-operated stores and 8 franchised stores.
The young couple who have been in love for more than a year and entered the marriage hall want to help more people
In June 2021, he met Xiaoxiao, who works in catering, through a short video platform, and the two began to contact.
Due to Dong Pingxin's physical disability, at the beginning, Xiaoxiao's parents strongly objected to the two being together.
Xiaoxiao's parents often say: "You are a normal person, and you have no arms or legs. Why do you want to find a disabled person? Our family doesn't lack anything. Why do you want to find such a person?"
After listening to her parents, Xiaoxiao also thought about severing the relationship between the two, and even did not contact each other for a while.
But Dong Pingxin didn't give up, and sent messages to Xiaoxiao every day, sending all kinds of food and drinks.
Once, Xiaoxiao had a fever of 39°C, and Dong Pingxin was very distressed when he found out.
It rained heavily that night, he rode an electric car to buy medicine in the middle of the night, and then sent it to Xiaoxiao's house.
Seeing Dong Pingxin, whose whole body was soaked by the rain, the tears in his eyes couldn't stop with a smile, and he cried and said, "Besides your family, you are the best person to me."
Let Xiaoxiao moved more than that.
When she followed Dong Pingxin to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, she found that he would buy all the old people's vegetables.
Xiaoxiao was very surprised at the time, but later learned that Dong Pingxin felt that it was very difficult for many elderly people to sell vegetables, so he wanted to help them, but it was not appropriate to give them money directly, "He felt that giving money directly to others would hurt people's self-esteem, only In this way, the other party can accept it with peace of mind." Yan Xiaoxiao found that Dong Pingxin often invited the workers who were resting in front of the optical shop to enjoy the cool in the shop and invited them to drink water.
After that, Xiaoxiao made up her mind to stay with Dong Pingxin, "As long as he treats me well, why should you care about other people's opinions? I think such a man is worth entrusting." She often told her mother Said, "You don't know him, he's very loving, and I want to be with him."
In the more than a year that the two have been together, Dong Pingxin often learns the knowledge of children's myopia prevention and control with a smile, and the two run an optical shop together.
In addition, he often accompanies Xiaoxiao to eat various delicacies.
When the two first met, Xiaoxiao weighed only 110 pounds, but now her weight has grown to more than 170 pounds.
"Our love is too heavy!" Yan Xiaoxiao said with a smile, "He is very kind to me, I have no troubles, and I am carefree all day."
Under the infection of Dong Pingxin, Yan Xiaoxiao also joined the ranks of public welfare. They visited the sanitation workers in the hot summer together, and took the initiative to invite the sanitation workers in front of the store to enter the store to enjoy the shade and serve cold drinks. They regularly entered the nursing home for the 60-year-old. The above old people have their eyesight checked, reading glasses and sunglasses are given...
At present, Dong Pingxin has handed over the financial power of the family to Yan Xiaoxiao.
He often said to his wife: "You are a girl who loves to laugh, kind and generous, and you are very happy together. We can do a lot of things together and realize our dreams together. Only when we do well can we be able to help others." Lots of people in need."
