Resolutely let the Fujian peasant Lao Lan stand still like a mountain even if his arms are broken.


It is difficult to live in the mountains. Grab a hand from the ground and see that the gravel does not see the soil. This is the most serious soil erosion in South China, Daifang Village, Sanzhou Town, Changting County, Fujian Province, and the home of Lanlin Jin.

Every day, he was numb, and Lao Lan drove the three-wheeled motorcycle that was converted into a pedal throttle. He was clamped with two forearms, and his body was almost leaning forward on the front of the car.

An accident 10 years ago caused Lao Lan’s arms to be broken and blind. Lao Lan refused the misfortune of fate and accompanied him with the barren hills. Others thought that the doomed wasteland, stubbornly grow another round of new green.

"I want to prove that I am still a useful person."

In 1983, the 21-year-old Lan Linjin joined the army as a special soldier for four years. After leaving the army, he went out to work, and with the help of the Hakka man's hard work and the blasting technology of the first-hand troops, he has been working hard in small coal mines and quarries in Xiamen and Guangzhou. In the meantime, he became a family with children. After the two brothers separated, the mother and grandmother followed him. Life is always gathering more and more, but watching the children grow up day by day, the mother and grandmother have no disease and no disaster to enjoy their old age, Lao Lan is also contented.

If it can always be so dull, Lan Linjin may not break into our field of vision for a lifetime...

After the Spring Festival in 2002, he returned to the Guangzhou site to be responsible for the blasting of the dead stone. Because of a poor quality fuse, he was seriously injured and could not be caught. After more than two months of rescue and treatment, although he saved his life, he lost two forearms and one left eye forever, and only got more than 50,000 compensation.

In the face of such a major change, for ordinary farmers in a barren mountainous area, it basically means losing hope and dreams. From this day on, Lao Lan’s lover took two children who were no longer in school and embarked on the road of going out to work. And Lao Lan is hiding at home and is not willing to go out.

"I have been accepting this reality for more than two years." Laolan skillfully used two forearms to clip out the smoke and let the reporter help him.

Since 2004, Lao Lan has tried to live again. Raising ducks, planting cigarettes, raising fish, feeding pigs, and planting hoes, but each one either encounters a rickety, or has no time to hire a job. Each attempt is mostly ended at a loss.
