"I have nothing but love." When did Xinglinzi say that?
Xinglinzi has been suffering from rheumatoid arthritis since 12 years old. After decades of pain, she was paralyzed and unable to move, but she was able to use her faith and pure love to set up the "Eden Disability Welfare Fund". With amazing vitality, she has brought hope to millions of frustrated people and turned the corner to countless disabled people.
1977 Her first work was Song of Life, and her last work was Twenty-two Treasures of a Good Life. She wrote more than 30 books in her life. After experiencing all kinds of painful tests, she exhorted readers with her feelings of life and her experience of blood and tears. The charm of the mountain, the sound of running water, a flower, a grass, a tree and a bird can arouse her response to the nature created by God. She writes about people, feelings and struggles. She loves life and can be revealed between the lines. Her article is full of encouragement and comfort.
Xing Linzi's book Ode to Life has a very precious feeling of suffering:
No skin burned by the scorching sun,
Never know the coolness of the shade,
Eyes without tears,
And never understand human suffering.
She mentioned that more than 30 years ago, her father promised the doctor to take her case as an academic demonstration, because he was eager to love his daughter and hoped that the medical community would find a new treatment as soon as possible. Attending doctors often carry her to the auditorium and podium, so that doctors can explain the cause and condition of rheumatoid disease. The speaker spoke clearly and the audience listened with relish, but she was greatly humiliated. She feels like a monkey in the zoo. She wishes she could bury her head heavily in the hole. But since she believed in Jesus, her life has changed a lot. She changed from sadness, crying and despair to happiness, positivity and optimism.
When she is understood in different places, she is often taken to the stage to share her testimony. Her mood is extremely happy. Not only is she not ashamed of the gospel, but she is no longer ashamed of her mobility and illness. On the contrary, she takes good news as a good step and takes pleasure in praising the grace of the Lord, because the Lord has shown her ability in her weakness. She no longer regards her case as an academic demonstration, hoping to find a new treatment in medical discovery; Nowadays, the witness of life on the podium has cured, comforted and faced life for countless people who have been traumatized physically and mentally.
16 years old, one night, when she was crying in pain, she felt the existence of the Lord in the dark. Although she couldn't see the Lord or hear the voice, she clearly felt the gentle hand of the Lord comforting her. At that moment, the burden on the shoulders was lifted and the sadness disappeared. Before that, she had cried, mourned and struggled, asking herself from time to time, why did suffering come to her? Suddenly a small voice told her: because I want to show God's work to you. Because of her own experience, she began to help people who had the same pain as her. She shed tears of disappointment and sadness in her hospital bed, but now the "Valley of Tears" has become a "blessing of autumn rain".
The power of illness will destroy her body and mind, but this power disappears because she knows the Lord of life. In other words, her fear of human suffering completely disappeared, and she accepted the mission entrusted to her by the Lord in love.
She once said that many people tend to shape the disabled, thinking that the blind can only massage fortune-telling, and the disabled can only carve and repair clocks and watches. In fact, apart from the dysfunction of a certain part of their bodies, their wisdom and ability are not lost to the average person. As long as they are given appropriate opportunities, they can give full play to their talents and make contributions to society.
With her encouragement and the cultivation of famous teachers, the "Eden Happy Quartet" became an internationally renowned band. Through graceful movements and profound lyrics, they realize that "life" is God's arrangement, and "regret" is a blessing in disguise. The brilliance of life often goes through painful tempering, and their testimony and songs bring hope to those who feel desperate in the dark.
Xinglinzi once said, "I have nothing but love." Yes, Xing Linzi's life is a life of love, and she is the undertaker of love. With the Lord, there is love. The Lord shaped her life through suffering, let her live like the Lord himself and spread true love to the world. Xinglinzi's mother often says to people: "If it is not a miracle, she only graduated from primary school, how can she make such a great contribution to literature, society and faith!" How can she not move healthy and talented people to share the "Shuang Fu Mission" (gospel and welfare) with her? Many writers and musicians serve the disabled and teach writing and music in the Garden of Eden for free. God is love. With love, she turned little love into great love and founded the Eden Foundation for the Disabled. She has worked in the foundation for many years and has never been paid. On weekdays, she only lives on royalties.
She was reborn because she believed in God. She said, "God has shown the world that a person can still live out the essence of life even in all kinds of hardships and diseases. No more struggle, no more tears, only the stability and grandeur of the Yangtze River, even the wind and waves can be tolerated. Painful blows often come, but all these will help us to know ourselves better; At the same time, I grow up in constant attempts and affirm my life value. The road of life is different, what is important is what kind of mentality to adopt. It doesn't matter what kind of lifestyle you have, what matters is what kind of connotation and meaning you give to life. " Xinglinzi often says to the disabled and the chronically ill: "It is not unfortunate for a person to lose his health. The most important thing is to have pure faith, sound psychology, correct life direction and vigorous vitality. "
In fact, many people are mentally disabled, even more painful than physical disabilities, but after reading her works and her touching life testimony, their lives are reorganized, their minds are enlightened and their minds are sound.
Her books are concise, emotional and gentle, often filled with a strong spirit of not complaining about others and not bowing to suffering, full of positive and optimistic lines, and describing the challenges of life in humorous language will inspire readers and make them amazed. After reading her works, people not only share her life, but also enjoy the blessing of Christ's life and love because of her.
She is very ill. She had several major operations to repair her chin in and out of the hospital. Under the pain of cone heart, she told God that she was giving up and didn't want to live any more, and asked God to take her home. At this time, she suddenly heard the poem "amazing grace" coming from outside the hospital bed, which convinced her that God was comforting her, giving her strength and making her strong again.
Xia Liu continued to write during his lifetime, and published his first book Song of Life from 65438 to 0977. Since then, his new works have been published every year, with millions of words, and he has published many anthologies, including The Story of Xinglin, Another Love, Returning to the World of Red Dust, I will go to the bottom to stop me, Thank you for the thorn of the rose, and Deep Acacia. Rebellious years, songs of life, love stories around me, dad Adan, etc. , reports literature and audio books, and published her first picture book "Good Boy Joby" in July last year, telling the story of a cat named Joby who ran away from home.
Her inspirational sketches are very popular, and they are selected as holiday reading materials by middle schools in Taiwan Province Province every winter and summer vacation. Her Story of Growing Up was selected as an anthology edited by middle school students by Hong Kong Education Publishing House and became the top three best-selling writers in Malaysia. She has more than 60 works, including more than 40 plays, 16 essays, two novels, albums and edited works. Xing Linzi's life is a life of making contributions to society. Her literary works and life testimony have won numerous awards and lofty honors.
Recently, in order to promote the "anti-apathy movement" in Taiwan Province Province, Xing Linzi wrote an article "Add some heat to our hearts". From this article, we can see her intention and positive encouragement, as well as her confident tone permeating the text:
I remember a long time ago. At least for more than 30 years, I just had two operations on my leg and regained my freedom of walking. One day, I was on a business trip, and when I came back at night, it suddenly began to rain in Mao Mao. The alley is about 200 meters away from home. I don't have rain gear, so it's inconvenient to move. Although a little anxious, I still have to walk in the rain.
Not long after I left, suddenly an umbrella stretched out behind me. Looking back, I saw a beautiful girl smiling at me. I told her that my home was not far ahead, and she nodded. We hardly spoke all the way and walked side by side in silence. When we arrived at the door, I thanked her again. She smiled and turned away.
From beginning to end, I didn't know who she was and where she lived, and I never saw her again, but an umbrella was opened in the rain, and that beautiful smiling face, like a lamp in a cold night, often flashed a warm light in my memory.
Compared with the chaos in today's society, the alienation between people seems to have passed for a long time from the time when chickens and dogs heard about each other and had the same heart. Recalling those warm days and rich human feelings in the past, we still can't help but sigh. Is it because people's hearts have changed and our society is getting worse and worse? In fact, there are still many people who have a heart, but they are used to keeping their feelings in their hearts and are not good at expressing them. Over time, it seems to be indifferent.
If we start from ourselves and pay more attention to our relatives and friends around us, a word of encouragement, a kind smile, a warm hug and a feeling of empathy, we may not see obvious changes for a while, but if everyone can pay their share and persevere, the impact will be immeasurable.
-Excerpted from Xia Liu Heritage World, a joint news network, on February 9th.
In her last collection of essays, Breaking Antiques, she left a will. Among them, intangible heritages such as blessing and love should be left to the family and the whole world. As for the tangible cornea, it should be donated to those in need, and the body should be left to the hospital for pathological anatomy. Making a will is not humorous at all, saying that it is beneficial to medicine and saves funeral expenses. Now that she has passed away, her family has carried out her will. She will keep her love in everyone's heart forever, and her life and her works will inspire thousands of people. Xia Liu said in the article "Good Life and Good Death", "One day, when I leave, please don't surround me with elegies, please don't pile me up with flowers, please don't mourn me with eulogy, please don't bury me with tears and cries, I have gone to a mysterious date! How I wish you were as happy as I am-"
