“這是我的二舅，村子裏曾經的天才少年。”
用樸實又略帶冷幽默的語言，90後UP主唐浩（網名“衣戈猜想”）在視頻《回村三天，二舅治好了我的精神內耗》中講述了二舅少時意外殘疾、卻堅韌生活的故事。

A video of a 66-year-old disabled carpenter has gone viral on Chinese social media after his nephew Tang Hao shared the man's inspiring life story on short-video platform Bilibili on Monday. Using the name "Yigecaixiang", Tang uses witty storytelling in the 11-minute video to convey the experiences of Erjiu, which means second-oldest maternal uncle. The man, who uses a cane due to a longtime disability, is portrayed as a common hero who never bows to life's difficulties, but strives instead to lead a full and meaningful life.
一夜之間，這則11分鐘的視頻成了現象級作品，刷爆朋友圈，B站全站排行第一、播放量近3000萬，相關多個話題登頂微博熱搜榜，被一些網友贊為“今年看過最高級的視頻”。
The film is currently the most watched video on Bilibili, China's top video app, and has attracted over 28 million views and 188,000 comments as of Thursday morning. Commentators online said the short film was “healing” and “inspiring” and called the old man an “ordinary but great” person.
“二舅”的故事為什麼戳人心
66歲的二舅年少時是一位學習成績突出的“天才少年”，因為一場高燒打針“落下了殘疾”。意志消沉後的第三年，二舅用了三天“看”會了木匠工藝，從此承包了全村的木匠活。
Erjiu was a bright kid whose life took a dramatic turn when a botched treatment he received for a high fever left him with a lame leg. After the medical mishap, the man learned carpentry and used the skill to support himself and his family.
兩個妹妹出嫁時所有的傢俱，都是二舅一個人完成的，“你能想象在八十年代，一個山村的女孩子結婚的時候能擁有這樣的一套傢俱是多麼夢幻的事情嗎？”
When Erjiu's two young sisters got married, he made them furniture, which was a luxurious gift for young women living in the countryside in the 1980s.
二舅一生未婚，領養了一個叫“寧寧”的女孩。寧寧結婚，二舅掏光了半輩子積蓄給寧寧買房子，卻開心得要死。
Remaining single his whole life, Erjiu adopted an abandoned girl in the village and raised her. He even saved a large sum of money from his meager income to finance her marriage.
這幾年二舅木工活也不做了，全職照顧年近九旬的姥姥。他還熱心幫助村裏人修理各種農具、傢俱電器、車輛，村裏人開玩笑叫他“歪子”，但每個人都愛他、離不開他。
Erjiu is now a full-time caregiver for his mother and a handyman in the village. Tang said his uncle is always ready to help fellow villagers repair any broken items such as furniture, electric appliances, door locks, stoves, or toys for children.
“是二舅活得好，不是我寫得好”
唐浩用“莊敬自強”來形容二舅，認為在二舅身上，有我們這個民族“所有的平凡、美好與強悍”。
正因如此，許多人從視頻裏看到了自己的三姑四叔五舅六嬸的影子。他們勤勞善良，有一技之長，面對逆境 堅韌樂觀。正是這種精神支撐着我們這個民族數千年綿延不絕。
Erjiu's story of self-reliance and tenacity not only moved Tang, but it's also touched the hearts of millions of online viewers. Erjiu's story epitomizes the lives of millions of average people, and the story of his experience resonates with the public and inspires people to admire his strong spirit, which also inspires people to move forward.
有網友盛讚唐浩拍出了《活着》，唐浩卻表示，與諸多名家相比，自己只是雕蟲小技，他在接受新華社採訪時説，“那是因為二舅活得好，不是我寫得好。”
Commenting on the unexpected popularity of his video, Tang said: “It may have attracted a lot of views, but that is because my uncle lived his life well, not because I wrote a decent story.”
據唐浩發博文透露，目前“二舅和姥姥已不在小山村”，希望大家對二舅的所有關切，“起於線上，止於相忘”。
令人拍案的文字
視頻裏，觸動人心的還有很多睿智深邃的文字，最後回顧一下吧。
▌人往往都是快死的時候才發現人生最大的遺憾就是一直在遺憾過去的遺憾。
It is only when they are near the end of their lives that people come to realize that the biggest regret in life is always regretting the past.
▌從二舅這裏，我看到了我們這個民族身上所有的平凡、美好與強悍。
I've seen from Erjiu the characters that make up our nation's identity: unassuming, kind and tough.
▌都説人生最重要的不是糊一把好牌，而是打好一把爛牌，二舅這把爛牌，打得是真好。
The main thing that matters in life is not the cards you were dealt, but how you play them. Erjiu was dealt a bad hand, but he played his cards beautifully.
▌二舅從小對寧寧沒有什麼教育可言，今天的寧寧卻成為了村裏最孝順的孩子，可見讓小孩將來孝順自己的最好方法就是默默地孝順自己的父母。
He couldn't give Ningning a good or decent education, but now she is the most filial one in the village. Apparently, the best way to teach your kid filial piety is to take good care of your own parents.
▌老病是生死之間的必要演習。
In aging and sickness, we are making the preparations to move between life and death.
▌筆記本的第一頁是他摘抄的一句話：下定決心，不怕犧牲，排除萬難，去爭取勝利。是的，這條人生路最後通向的一定是勝利。
A line of text scribbled on the first page of the notebook shows a quote: “Be determined, fear no sacrifice, and surmount every difficulty to win victory.” Sure enough, the path of his life will definitely lead to victory.
