一个来自青海藏族自治州特困家庭的小女孩,因为治疗近乎失明的双眼,与山东结下了一段不解之缘。这个自青海到山东跨越千里的“复明”故事,像一簇温暖的火种,慢慢升温、广为流传。
藏族姑娘的光明危机
这个自幼近乎“双盲”的藏族女孩有一个承载着美好寓意的名字——才什杰,在藏语中意思是“生福”,她的家在青海海北藏族自治州,家里还有一个正在上小学的妹妹。才什杰一家四口没有固定收入,患有严重肺病的父亲和有心脏病的母亲丧失了劳动能力,仅靠政府的救助维持生计。曾经,全家人居无定所,后蜗居在10平方米左右的棚户里。
才什杰因为患有先天眼疾,出生后不久,右眼球就开始不断肿胀外凸,并彻底失明。左眼也由于先天性青光眼、角膜白斑等眼病,造成视力逐年减退,只能看见模糊的人影。父亲尕布藏才让曾带她去当地医院就诊,却因那时医疗条件有限无法确诊,加之贫寒的家庭也无法承担看病的费用。十几年来,才什杰没有得到及时治疗,由于病情延误,已经肿胀失明的右眼使得原本处于花季的姑娘面部变形,为了躲避别人异样的目光,才什杰几乎不出门,没有上过一天学,只能在家里听着小伙伴们往来的欢声笑语,自己偷偷掉泪。
后来,山东开展对口支援海北藏族自治州的工作,通过送医到乡村、送医上门义诊、巡诊等工作,发现了患病的才什杰。相关部门得知此事后,指定山东中医药大学附属眼科医院作为才什杰救治定点医院,全程负责藏族姑娘的“复明”相关工作。经过会诊,初步诊断才什杰为右眼葡萄膜囊肿,已经完全失明;左眼先天性青光眼、黏连性角膜白斑、角膜血管翳、眼球震颤,只能感受到微弱的光亮,需要尽快进行角膜移植手术等治疗,否则将终身生活在黑暗中。
“逐光之旅”跨越千里
面对女儿可能导致终身失明的眼疾,父亲尕布藏才让不知所措。除去医院免去的治疗费,仍有几万元的费用让这个贫困家庭束手无策。但藏族姑娘才什杰从遥远的青海来山东“逐光”的消息很快在社会上引起强烈反响,爱心潮迅速在才什杰身边荡漾开来。
○手术在紧张有序地进行。Surgery was an intense and orderly progress.
○摘除了混浊的晶体,才什杰的角膜移植术进行得非常顺利。With the removal of the turbid crystals, Caishijie’s keratoplasty was performed very smoothly.
○父亲尕布藏才一边听取医生的术后医嘱,一边为女儿祈福。Her father Gabuzang prayed for his daughter while listening to the doctor’s postoperative instructions.
○通过手机,才什杰第一次看清自己的样子,她笑着说“我长得像妈妈”。Through a mobile, Caishijie saw her own appearance for the first time, and smiled, “I look like my mother”.
“争取让才什杰恢复一定的视力,达到生活自理的目的。只要有可能,我们就要尽最大努力。”不论是负责救助的相关部门,还是负责治疗的医院,加上社会上关心才什杰病情的热心人,藏族姑娘的“逐光之旅”牵动着越来越多关心她的人的心。
据主治医生毕宏生教授介绍,由于才什杰的眼疾从小就没有得到系统的治疗,病情发展至今,情况非常复杂。“会诊结果决定先为她做右眼球摘除手术联合义眼座植入,让女孩的容貌有所改善,先让她能更加乐观地面对未来的人生,同时左眼则逐步治疗尽快进行角膜移植手术,恢复光明。”
万事就绪后,在众人的祝福中,才什杰终于被推进了手术室。手术过程中,她如一朵沉睡的格桑花静静地躺在手术台上,1个多小时的手术顺利完成,才什杰这朵格桑花,迎来了生命中拥抱光明的美丽绽放。
“按目前的恢复情况,再过一周就可以出院了。术后第二天,才什杰恢复得非常理想,视力也提高了不少,角膜移植术后正常的水肿反应减轻后视力还会有所提高……”主刀医生王兴荣教授表示。
“我们当地没有这样条件和水平的眼科医院,最近的医院也远在一百多公里外。”才什杰的父亲尕布藏才万分感慨,由于家里无力负担费用,他们本想放弃治疗。多亏这次跨省救助,才让一家人看到了希望。
从光明走到新生
才什杰出院后,负责治疗的眼科专家们依然很牵挂这个小姑娘。后来,借助“大爱无疆·青海光明行”的活动,医疗得以有机会见到了复明的才什杰。
此时的才什杰一家已搬入65平方米的楼房,居住条件有了很大改善。看到了熟悉的山东医生,腼腆的小女孩笑着为大家端水倒茶,像这样的家务活对于视力恢复不少的她来说已经“不在话下”了。
“山东,瓜真切!”见到山东医生的那天,才什杰重复最多的就是这句话。“瓜真切”是藏语,意思是“谢谢”。在各界的关心爱护下,才什杰的术后恢复情况非常好,接受角膜移植手术的左眼如今视力已经有了显著提高,从只能感受微弱的光亮恢复到如今,不仅能够看得见,而且看得清。此次来青,医疗团队还携带高端眼科检查设备和药品,送医上门,为才什杰做了全面细致的术后复查。这个被山东、青海两地援助大爱围绕的藏族女孩,终于沐浴在温暖的阳光里。
如今,复明后的才什杰在当地民政部门的帮助下已进入扫盲学习班免费学习一技之长,同时还在业余时间“勤工俭学”,她自理、自立的愿望将成为现实。看着女儿一步步重见光明,尕布藏才让激动地说:“感谢山东医院及各界爱心人士的帮助,才什杰一定好好学习,将来回报社会。”才什杰实现了她的光明梦,但传递着的爱心不会就此终止,人们期待更多需要帮助的孩子能够健康成长,也希望更多的爱心故事能延续。

○在当地民政部门的帮助下,才什杰已进入扫盲学习班免费学习一技之长,同时还在业余时间“勤工俭学”。With the help of local Civil Affairs Department, Caishijie has voluntarily entered the literacy class, and she also works part-time in her spare time.
This Tibetan girl, who was almost blind from her youth, and has a beautiful name with a good meaning – Caishijie,which means “blessed life” in Tibetan, lives in Haibei Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Qinghai Province. She has a younger sister in primary school, and her family has no fixed income because their father with severe lung disease and their mother with heart disease have lost their ability to work. They depend solely on the government to help maintain their livelihood.
Due to congenital eye disease, Caishijie’s right eye was completely blind, while her left eye could only see blurred figures. For more than ten years, she had not been treated properly, and due to the delay, her swelling and blind right eye had caused the facial deformation of the girl who was originally in the bloom of youth.
Later, the workers, from the partner assistant team of Shandong to Haibei Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture,found her and appointed the Attached Eye Hospital of Shandong Traditional Chinese Medicine University to freely take the responsibility for the whole process of helping the Tibetan girl recover her lost eyesight.
Now, with the help of local Civil Affairs Department,Caishijie, after the restoration of her sight has voluntarily entered the literacy class to learn some skills, and her wish for self-care and self-reliance will be realized one day.
