Poliopigen C' hen Li-pings historie - fortalt af Birgit Norholdt: Gerda Bech fandt hende. Hun lå på et bræt på maven. Der var hjul under, så hun kunne padle sig frem. Faderen forlod moderen, da hun havde født et handicappet barn. Moderen gik ud og vaskede tøj for folk. Li-ping sad i nærheden af templet og tiggede. Gerda Bech sørgede for, at hun blev opereret og skaffede en plads til hende på hjemmet for poliobørn i Hualien på Østkysten. Så vidt jeg ved, blev børnehjemmet drevet af tyske diakonisser. Tilbage i Changua traf jeg Li-ping sammen med Gerda Bech, og da hun var rejst hjem, fortsatte jeg med at have kontakt til Li-ping. Hun fik en 3-hjulet motorcykel og kom selv på besøg. Jeg var med til hendes bryllupsfest for 20 gæster. Hendes mand kunne reparere ure og skære navneskilte. En canadisk missionær, Margaret Roberts hjalp Li-ping, da hun fik børn, to dejlige piger. Margaret lavede babymad og tog sig ofte af børnene. Senere forlod manden Li-ping for en anden, og i 1988 flyttede hun ind hos sin mor i Banchyan The Polio girl, C' hen Li-ping's story – told by Birgit Norholdt: Gerda Bech found her laying o

Description
The Polio girl, C' hen Li-ping's story – told by Birgit Norholdt: Gerda Bech found her laying on her belly, on a board with wheels enabling her to move forward. The father left her mother when she delivered a disabled child. The mother earned her living by washing people's clothes. And Li-ping was begging at the temple area. Gerda Bech provided operation followed by stay in a home for Polio children, at Hualien on the East coast. According to my knowledge, it was run by German Deaconess Sisters. - Back in Changua, I met Li-ping together with Gerda Bech, and after her retirement, I continued having contact to Li-ping. After having a 3-wheel motorbike she was able to move around on her own. I was invited to her wedding party for about 20 guests. Li-ping's husband was able to earn their living by repair of watches and cutting name plates. A Canadian Missionary, Margaret Roberts, assisted Li-ping after having kids, two lovely girls. Margaret prepared the baby food and quite often she took care of the kids. Later Li-ping's husband left her for another woman, and in 1988 she moved in with her mother at Banchyan.
