In a corner of the busy city, there is a hospital with a long history and superb medical skills. This is the place of hope in the hearts of countless patients, and it is also the palace where medical elites work day and night. Li Yu, as a shining pearl in this hospital, although she is no longer the chief surgeon every day, her love and dedication to medicine have never diminished at all. Every week, she would deliberately spare half a day to go to the outpatient department and personally solve the difficult and complicated diseases that many doctors are helpless to deal with. And she is always accompanied by a young and talented assistant - her daughter, Gu Qinghuan.
Gu Qinghuan, this name did not cause much trouble when he first entered the hospital. Compared with Li Yu, who was just starting out but had already made a name for herself, she seemed even more youthful and inconspicuous. After all, she was only 9 years old. However, it was this seemingly inconspicuous child who gradually won widespread praise and respect in the medical community with her own unique acupuncture method. Whenever Li Yu and Gu Qinghuan appear in the ward, the tense and solemn atmosphere always seems to be relieved, because everyone knows that this mother-daughter combination can always bring unexpected miracles.
In that quiet and slightly dull afternoon, the sunlight was like fine golden satin, gently brushing through every corner of the ward, covering this small world with a warm gauze. In the Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic, everything is neatly organized, and the air is filled with the faint smell of disinfectant, which is in sharp contrast to the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers outside the window. In this warm yet slightly heavy atmosphere, a special little boy, Tongtong, quietly walked into our sight.
Tongtong is a child whose name contains infinite hopes and dreams. His appearance is like a carefully carved work of art. He is well-dressed and has a delicate face, as if he is a prince walking out of a fairy tale. However, those eyes that should have been sparkling with curiosity and light seemed extremely hollow and confused at the moment, as if shrouded in an invisible layer of mist, and they had lost their proper interest and response to all the beauty in the outside world.
The students gathered around Li Yu and Gu Qinghuan, telling Tongtong’s story in low and gentle voices. Every word carried deep sympathy and care for the little boy. Autism, a word that sounds chilling, is like a huge stone, weighing heavily on the hearts of countless families. It also makes countless doctors feel helpless and have headaches. No matter how rich a person is, there is nothing they can do in this regard.
Tongtong’s mother is a luxuriously dressed woman with a haggard but still strong face. Her eyes show deep concern for her child’s future, as well as self-blame and helplessness for her own past negligence. She spoke slowly, with an imperceptible tremor in her voice: "Tongtong, he was once the pride of the family and a little star in everyone's eyes. When he was six years old, he was already able to play orders on the piano. It was an amazing piece of music, and his professional level reached an astonishing level 10. At that time, he was so sunny and confident, as if the whole world was at his feet. ”
However, with the changes in the family, especially when she became pregnant with her second child, everything quietly changed. The busy life forced her to divert some of her attention away from Tongtong, and Tongtong didn't seem to show much strangeness at that time. It wasn't until her second child was born that three years passed in a blink of an eye. When Tongtong entered the threshold of ten years old, she suddenly woke up and found that her son had become so strange - he had lost interest in the world around him, and even I don’t want to step into the school gate again.

At first, she thought her child was indifferent, until a family doctor told her that her child had autism! At this moment, she deeply realized the pain and despair caused by autism. According to the World Health Organization, approximately 70 million people worldwide have autism spectrum disorder, and this number is still growing. People with autism often face multiple challenges such as social barriers, language communication difficulties, and behavioral stereotypes, which bring great inconvenience and trouble to their lives. For families, they have to bear huge psychological pressure and financial burden.
Faced with this reality, Tongtong’s mother did not choose to give up. She began to actively seek professional help and support, participated in various autism-related trainings and lectures, and worked hard to learn how to communicate with Tongtong and how to help him get out of the shadow of autism. At the same time, she also used her actions to infect the people around her, calling on society to give more attention and understanding to people with autism. During this process, she did not dare to ignore her concern for the second treasure. She was really afraid of what would happen to the second treasure. In this way, I worked hard to find a doctor for half a year, until I learned about this place from the Qian family's main hospital, so I hurried over.
Li Yu and Gu Qinghuan exchanged heavy looks, with complex emotions surging in their hearts. They know very well that autism is not just a simple problem of "not communicating with others". It is like an invisible wall that separates Tongtong from the gentle but distant world. Moreover, Tongtong's soul was not detained for anything, but was locked up in his inner world by Tongtong himself. So Xiao Hei is also powerless.
"Tongtong's mother, don't blame yourself too much." Li Yu comforted softly, "The causes of autism are very complex, and many times it is not caused by a single factor. The most important thing now is How can we help Tongtong together, let him feel more love and care, and regain the bridge to the world?"
Gu Qinghuan added: "Yes, Auntie, we can try. Special educational methods and psychological interventions, such as art therapy, play therapy, and even animal-assisted therapy, can sometimes touch the softest parts of a child's heart and help them open up. I'd like to try it myself. Help Tongtong!" Gu Qinghuan liked Tongtong's appearance very much and sympathized with his condition, so he offered to let Tongtong go to her home. Of course, it was definitely inconvenient for Tongtong to enter the compound, so Gu Qinghuan discussed it with Li Yu. , for a whileCan you take Tongtong to the Song family, which is Gu Qinghuan's great-grandma's house? Their yard is very big. At present, apart from grandma and grandpa, only Grandpa Zhang, Grandma Zhang and Xiaobao live there. Of course, there are also a few retired colleagues from Gu Han's unit who are there as assistants, as well as two cooks. Aunt. Therefore, it was not crowded at all when Lu Qinghuan took Tongtong and Tongtong's mother to live there. As for Li Yu, naturally he can't stay here every day, and Tong Tong's mother doesn't know if she is willing to accompany Tong Tong.
