[quote=YINDUFFY,295250]Far, far away in a pioneer settlement called 148 Farm in the deserts of Xinjiang a teenage girl was working in a small cotton processing plant. Her task was to take samples of the cotton to measure moisture content. She had to do this while the machines were running. Her glove got caught in the machine and she reached with her other hand to pull back but both hands were pulled into the machine and crushed. Rushed to the small hospital, there was nothing they could do for her and both arms were amputated above the elbows. A soldier read the tragic story in the newspaper and decided that he would devote himself to taking care of her. He was an orphan with no family and he would love her and take care of her. They lived in a mud house and he worked nights so he could care for Ling Ling. She learned to balance on the back of a bicycle to go shopping or to visit. The town built a brick community toilet in her neighborhood for protection from the weather. Her prosthetic arms are useless and she has to go all the way to Shanghai every time she needs new arms. Despite this hardship, they raised a beautiful daughter,Lu Lu, who today is a nurse in Shenzhen. Today Ling Ling lives in an apartment we helped them buy and she has an indoor toilet. Her husband cooks and cleans as well as works. It is a wonderful example of true love. Ling Ling is my sister-in-law.[/quote]
