She Raised Me Up (English Edition): A Grandmother‘s Love and a Disabled Girl’s Unlikely Journey

A Grandmother’s Unwavering Love for Her Granddaughter with Cerebral Palsy — A Heartfelt Autobiographical Novel About Survival, Dignity and the Power of Being Cared For
This is the story of a girl who was not expected to live a full life—and the grandmother who refused to give up on her. Chen Yuan was born with cerebral palsy. She could not speak clearly or walk steadily. At nineteen, she had to leave school. She fell into despair. But her grandmother stayed. She massaged her back, made special shoes for her feet, taught her to read, and pushed her to keep going. Chen Yuan eventually learned to write, using just one finger, and this novel is the result. It is autobiographical, written by the girl herself, about the woman who saved her. If you want to read a true story of love and resilience, told in simple and honest words—rather than a fast-paced thriller or an academic study of disability—this is it.

About the Book

She Raised Me Up is a heart-wrenching yet uplifting memoir by Chinese author Chen Yuan. Born with cerebral palsy, Yuan was raised by her remarkably resilient grandmother, whose unwavering love and quiet strength gave her a foundation to build a life against all odds.

What makes this story truly extraordinary is how it was written: Yuan typed the entire manuscript with a single finger. Through this painstaking process, she crafted a raw and honest account of living with a disability in a society that often overlooks those who are different—and of the grandmother who saw her potential when others saw only limitations.

This English-language edition, published by China Intercontinental Press, offers international readers a rare glimpse into the life of a contemporary Chinese woman whose story resonates far beyond borders. Yuan has since become a member of the Chengdu and Sichuan Writers‘ Associations, and her writing has inspired countless young people across China
