Feng Huan was born(出生) in a far village in Jiangxi Province. She is 13 years old, but she is only as tall as a six-year-old girl. She is an unlucky child. Born with an illness，she can’t walk as others. Family elders once tried to abandon(遗弃) her because of her poor health, but her mother never gave up. She named her Feng Huan, which means happiness, hoping her daughter would grow up to have a happy life in the future.
The illness brought so much pain to Feng Huan over the years. Her legs have become deformed as she has been unable to walk since she was born. She could hardly walk or go to the washroom without help. What’s worse, her illness is getting worse and worse, which puts pressure on one of her kidneys(肾脏). Her mother has taken her to Shanghai to see a doctor, and her parents have done everything they could to treat her illness.
Thanks to great love from her mother, Feng Huan is able to go to school as other children. She says she loves school because she can learn many things there and chat with her classmates. After she goes home on her mother’s back from school, she does her homework with her favorite doll by her side. She takes the doll everywhere with her, even when she sleeps.
Luckily, when her story is reported, many kind-hearted people have lent helping hands.
