Family condition

Using one word to describe the life of Yu-ying Liu, it will be “hard”. After getting married, her husband gambled and beat her to severe hearing disability as he got an affair. The disability troubles her for an entire of 20 years until her husband left home and got divorced with him to give her a short-lived relief. However, her children suffered types of diseases one after another. The disability pensions were almost paid for the over NT$1 million mortgage. The entire family depended on the thin Yu-ying picking rubbish from morning to evening. And she had to take care of the disabled children. Being a strong mom, she successfully won back her son Jun-de who had been unconscious for 3 months after brain tumor surgery. It can be seen from all of Yu-ying’s bravery toward life and her story of hard life since she was 13 years old can move and touch the hearts of everyone. TOP

More than 10 years ago, Yu-ying Liu was happy to get her husband when her husband left and divorced her. It was unexpected that her little son Jun-de Wang was thrown into a 3 month long coma after brain tumor surgery. Although he has been now pulled back from death, he cannot move freely as his left-side limbs are powerless.

Her daughter suffered mental disease, bearing no more pressure of life with her husband died recently. With her oldest disabled son working in Taipei, the Huo-de Wang, Yu-ying Liu family are all disabled now. Jun-de says, after getting back from Taipei hospital to their home, they have been on the long and hard way to recuperation. For the sake of his early getting better, his mom rides him in motorbike to the hospital located 6 or 7 kilometers away on weekdays for medical treatment. Only the round journey takes about more than 2 hours.TOP

 

 

Getting son to recuperation

 

 

Recalling his fragile mom taking care of him for such hard years, Jun-de cannot help sobbing: “without mom, I cannot survive!”

Yu-ying Liu says that the family gets no way and no ability to work outside with a mortgage over NT$1 million paid by the monthly low income pension and disability pension of nearly NT$10,000. Thanks to the township government and the temples nearby to send them rice irregularly with neighbors’ help in addition to Jun-de’ picking some bottle for recycling for money, they still live a very hard life.

Yu-ying Liu says that she gets no idea about future and only hopes that her children can recuperate. President Chen, when seeing her on16th of the month, promised to promote Jun-de’s disability assistance level and improve somewhat their lives.TOP
