The hardships of life will not stop because of the sympathy of others.
One day, when his father's condition was slightly stable, he said, "Sister, I want to earn money to study." His father seemed to understand what he said and exchanged a bag of wheat at home for 50 yuan. . Hong Zhanhui carried the 50 yuan and braved the scorching sun for a trip to Zhoukou City, Luohe County and other places in Henan Province. When he was in Xihua County, his dirty appearance aroused the sympathy of a middle-aged man. After getting to know him, After seeing the situation, he found a job delivering nail guns at the awning construction site built by the middle-aged man. In one summer vacation, he earned more than 700 yuan.
On September 1 of this year, Hong Zhanhui reported to Xihua No. 1 Middle School. He left 500 yuan of the 1,000 yuan given to his father for medicine, and used the rest plus the money he earned from doing odd jobs during the holidays to pay for his tuition. High school life is a brand new life. Hong Zhanhui came to a strange city for the first time, and his joy was filled with fear.
The study pressure of high school is unmatched by that of junior high school. Fortunately, Hong Zhanhui has a perseverance that is rare among his peers. He was worried about the little one's life, her food, and her health. After he gradually settled down after entering school, Hong Zhanhui rented a house near the school and took his little one from home. From then on, Hong Zhanhui started running between school and his residence every day just like he was in junior high school. Early in the morning, he wanted the little one to have breakfast, then told her not to go out, and then go to school. At noon and evening, he packed meals from school and brought them back to his residence to eat with his little one.
The little one is very sensible. He seems to understand the hardships and hardships of his brother at such a young age. Her brother told her not to go out, so she stayed in the hut and waited for her brother to finish school. During self-study in the evening, Hong Zhanhui was worried that something might happen to the little one if she stayed alone in the room, so he took her to school. He was afraid that she would make trouble, so he put her by the door and let her play. Several times, when he finished his self-study and walked out of the classroom, the little boy fell asleep in the corridor outside. Holding the little one in his arms, Hong Zhanhui returned to the rented cabin under the light of the street lamp.
When he came to the county town to study, all his expenses increased. Hong Zhanhui knew that if he lost his financial source, his father's illness, the life of his younger brother and sister, and his beautiful ideals would all be empty talk and he would have to work to earn money. It became Hong Zhanhui's biggest task after his heavy studies.
From then on, Hong Zhanhui used his spare time on campus to sell ballpoint pens, books and materials, and English tapes. Use your meager income to support your entire family. Campus promotion is something that is looked down upon by others. Hong Zhanhui's actions disgusted many people who did not know the inside story. During one of his sales, a teacher was very annoyed with him for being obsessed with making money at a young age, and drove him out of the classroom mercilessly: "Are you here to study or to be a hawker? Are you here? No matter how difficult the family is, your parents should still do these things that make money. Your task now is to study hard!" Hong Zhanhui didn't defend himself, held back the tears in his eyes, packed up his things and walked out.
My father needs to be taken care of, and the Hong family, which owes a lot of foreign debts and favors, needs Hong Zhanhui to suspend school for emergency relief. In his second year of high school, Hong Zhanhui said goodbye to the campus with tears.
Amidst the incomprehensible colors, Hong Zhanhui learned to take care of his little one while making money, and he had to give regular meals to his father. Although life was difficult when sending medicine home, Hong Zhanhui still managed to get through it smoothly. Life will not always be smooth sailing. Even for unfortunate people like Hong Zhanhui, the short-term comfort gained with hard sweat and humiliating tears did not last long. When Hong Zhanhui was in his second year of high school, his father suddenly became mentally ill.
There was a serious conflict between filial piety and his studies. His father needed care when he was hospitalized, and his father needed money for medical treatment. In order to borrow money, he traveled to several surrounding villages and begged almost all his relatives and friends. He said good things to others and even kowtowed to them, but the deep-rooted idea of ??"rescuing emergencies but not the poor" made Hong Zhanhui run for two days before borrowing 47 yuan, which was a drop in the bucket for his father's illness. Just when he was in extreme difficulty, an aunt lent a helping hand.
When Hong Zhanhui was in school, he helped a self-employed person sell paint in Nanguan, Xihua County. The boss was a very sympathetic aunt who had also experienced difficult life experiences. When she learned about Hong Zhanhui's condition, she promptly sent the money needed for medical treatment to Hong Zhanhui's home. His father needs to be taken care of, and the Hong family, which owes a lot of foreign debts and favors, needs Hong Zhanhui to suspend school for emergency relief. In his second year of high school, Hong Zhanhui bid farewell to the campus with tears in his eyes.
Back at home, he tidied the farmland, took care of his father, taught his sister how to read in his spare time, and went out to work during the slack period to earn money to support the family.
When Hong Zhanhui went out to work, he understood the importance of knowledge more and more. By 2000, the little boy was already 6 years old, and his father's condition was under control. At this time, his dreams were filled with the long-lost campus, and he longed to see it again.
After his father was saved, Hong Zhanhui hurried home to pick up things for hospitalization, and then rode his bicycle overnight to the hospital, which was nearly 100 kilometers away. A day of running around made Hong Zhanhui extremely tired. He couldn't keep his eyes open while riding. As a result, he and his car fell into a ditch on the side of the road... Pain, grievance, sadness, and despair all came to his heart. He couldn't help but scream: "Big, when will you recover? Mother, why don't you come back? Do you know your son's suffering? My little parents, since you gave birth to her, why did you abandon her... Why do all the burdens fall on me? God, why?”
In the summer of this year, teacher Qin Hongli, who had coached Hong Zhanhui in Xihua No. 1 Middle School, was transferred to Xihua. Hua No. 2 Middle School. Teacher Qin had been concerned about Hong Zhanhui's affairs. After arriving at his new job, he asked a student who knew Hong Zhanhui's situation to send a message to Hong Zhanhui: He hoped that Hong Zhanhui could return to school. With the help of Teacher Qin, Hong Zhanhui returned to school. However, the high school department of No. 2 Middle School was newly built at that time, and students could only study from the first year of high school. As a result, Hong Zhanhui became a freshman in Xihua No. 2 Middle School.
Hong Zhanhui took the little one with him again. When the little one reached school age, Teacher Qin helped him find a primary school near the No. 2 Middle School, and the little one also started going to school.
A new high school life has begun again. What is different from the past is that in addition to making money, studying, and taking care of the little ones' lives, tutoring the "little ones" in their studies has become what Hong Zhanhui has to do every day.
Everything in the rest of my life was ordinary, but God was playing tricks on me. In October 2002, my father suffered from mental illness for the third time. He sent his father to a mental hospital, but the hospital was unwilling to accept the patient without paying the hospitalization fee. Hong Zhanhui knelt down and kowtowed to the hospital staff. The doctor's hard-hearted heart was not moved by Hong Zhanhui's most traditional way of begging. Hong Zhanhui's crying and begging did not help. The hospital kicked them out. The younger brother may have been tired of this family, so he left without saying goodbye and went out to work.
One day at the end of October, Fugou County Mental Hospital was moved by Hong Zhanhui’s filial piety and agreed to take his father in and waive hospitalization fees and only charge treatment fees. Hong Zhanhui was so happy that his father was saved. He hurried home to get the things he needed for hospitalization. After arriving home, he rode his bicycle overnight and rushed to the hospital. It was nearly 100 kilometers from home to the hospital. It was already very late at night. A day of running around made Hong Zhanhui extremely tired. He could not open his eyes while riding. As a result, he and the car fell into a ditch beside the road. In... When he woke up, the bicycle was on top of him and the broken pieces of the water bottle were scattered on the ground. He no longer had the strength to push the bicycle away, and there was only one feeling in his body - pain, immense pain. There were very few pedestrians on the road. After vehicles passed by from time to time, he was instantly plunged into darkness again. Pain, grievance, sorrow, and despair all came to his heart. He couldn't help but howl: "Big (Editor's note: The plight of his father in eastern Henan) (name), when will you recover? Mother, why don't you come back? Do you know how hard it is for your son? You have been alone for so many years, but you won't come to see me.
My little parents, since you gave birth to her, why did you abandon her... Why do you have to bear all the burden on me? God, why? Why? "In the late autumn night, only the sound of the wind accompanied his cries...
He thought of his father, hated his mother, thought of the little one, and complained about God. It was unfair... and he didn't know how long he had been lying in the ditch. He seemed to see his father's eyes and heard his sister's cry, "No, I must get up, I can't fall here, otherwise. My whole family is finished. "He stood up tenaciously and groped his way out of the ditch...
When Hong Zhanhui was in his second year of high school, forced to make a living, he worked as a handyman in a restaurant near the school, helping the boss every morning The boss pays him 30 yuan per month for washing dishes, and he can eat breakfast. He usually doesn't eat lunch and only drinks some porridge in the evening. Sometimes, on weekends, he has to rush home to water the family. To survive on 8 acres of wheat land.
Later, he saw the huge demand for review materials from students, so he took a bus to Zhengzhou to sell books back to school on Sundays to save costs. It took him more than 2 hours to walk from the bus station to Zhengzhou Book City in the western suburbs of Zhengzhou, and then take a bus back. Because everyone knew about his situation, and he operated with integrity, his business was very good. It was so prosperous that even students from other schools came to buy books from him. But a disaster also quietly befell him.
A few locals were also running the business near Nanguan in Xihua County. In the book business, they saw that their business was gradually being taken away by Hong Zhanhui, and they were unwilling to do so. One night, after studying late at night, Hong Zhanhui was about to go back to the rented cabin, when suddenly several young people came out of the darkness. After the beating, Hong Zhanhui was beaten so hard that his nose bled and he could no longer see anything. Even his teachers and classmates didn't know. He was afraid of greater retaliation, but he suffered from serious eye problems. , still can’t see clearly. From then on, when Hong Zhanhui finished class in the evening, he had a stick in his hand, which was a weapon for self-defense. Of course, the book could not be sold.
The difficulty is after all. For the time being, Hong Zhanhui walked into the college entrance examination room with unyielding faith.
Hearing that he was going to see his brother, the little boy was so excited that he didn't sleep well all night. They met early in the morning. Departing from Xihua. When the bus was about to arrive in Huaihua, the little girl couldn't sit still, and her eyes were fixed on the window. Zhang Yongguang knew that she missed her brother too much
In July, the college entrance examination results. It was announced that Hong Zhanhui was admitted to the Department of Economics and Management of Huaihua University with a score of 490. But the 5,000 yuan tuition fee and the care of his sister made him very difficult! During this holiday, he earned 1,500 yuan from working in a spring factory. He had to pay all the tuition fees, and he was going to a new place. During the start of school, Hong Zhanhui was not prepared to take the little one to school.
When the registration day came, he entrusted the little one to his aunt and took care of it himself. The bag containing more than 100 kilograms of springs got on the train and came to Huaihua College in the mountainous area of ??western Hunan. With the help of his classmates, he sold the springs to a mousetrap manufacturer and handed over the proceeds of more than 2,000 yuan. Arrived at school. In order to make a living, he sold phone cards and ballpoint pen refills at school, advertised in the Huaihua TV station's "Economic E Times" column group, and worked as a sales agent for a "BBK" electronics dealer, earning a monthly salary of More than 600 yuan was just enough for the family to live on. At first, the students thought he had business acumen, but they found it incomprehensible that he never ordered a meat dish for meals and sent money home.
During the Spring Festival of 2003, a warm holiday arrived. Hong Zhanhui returned to his home after a long absence. The little boy had dropped out of school. He was dark and thin, and his body was covered with lice. The little boy, who had not seen his brother for several months, nestled next to his brother. Looking at the little boy's appearance, Hong Zhanhui felt a sense of guilt in his heart. After school started during the Spring Festival, his story gradually spread throughout the campus.
The classmates elected him as the president of the college's marketing association and spontaneously helped him. After the department leaders learned about his true situation, they launched a donation campaign. When the department leader handed Hong Zhanhui a donation of 3,190 yuan, he refused to accept it no matter what. In the end, the school used the donation to pay his tuition directly. When the department leader asked him if he still had any difficulties, he made his only request: he wanted to bring his sister to school with him! The "brother and sister" feeling that was not blood but transcended blood moved the leaders of Huaihua College. They made an exception and agreed to Hong Zhanhui to bring the little boy over, and arranged a separate dormitory for him so that he could take care of his sister. Later, Hong Zhanhui went to Shimen Primary School in Hecheng District, Huaihua City, near the college, found the principal, and made a request for his sister to join the school, and the principal agreed.
In the summer vacation of 2004, Hong Zhanhui did not go home. He wanted to use the vacation to earn enough tuition for the next school year. He called Zhang Yongguang, a high school classmate who was studying at Henan University of Technology, and asked him and another classmate to help bring the little one to Huaihua.
The little boy was so excited when he heard that he was going to see his brother that he didn't sleep well all night. They set off from Xihua early in the morning. When the bus was about to arrive in Huaihua, the little girl couldn't sit still and stared out the window. Zhang Yongguang knew that she missed her brother too much.
After only half a year, Hong Zhanhui was shocked when he saw his sister at Huaihua Railway Station. Her hair was messy, her face was yellow, and her clothes had not been washed for a long time. The little boy immediately hugged Hong Zhanhui's leg and was unwilling to let go for a long time. After giving the little one a bath, he put on a new set of clothes and cut his hair. The little one's appearance suddenly took on a new look, and a sweet smile once again bloomed on the originally delicate face.
"He went to the train station to pick us up a long time ago. He was short-sighted and didn't see us coming out. His sister was asking her brother all the way if he would come to pick us up and how long it would take. As soon as she got out of the station, she started looking around to see where her brother was. His sister saw him first, then ran over and hugged her brother and cried. He was very happy, but his eyes were red and there were tears in his eyes. Falling down. Maybe he was embarrassed to shed tears in front of us, but you can see how excited he was," Zhang Yongguang told a reporter from Zhengzhou Evening News on the afternoon of December 4.
The little one learned to cook. If her brother went out to sell things and couldn't come back, she would cook alone and wait for him to come back to eat, no matter how late at night. One weekend, Hong Zhanhui came home very late and hurriedly picked up the little one who was lying on the table and put him on the bed. The moment he reached the bed, the "little one" woke up, opened his eyes and threw himself into his arms: "Brother, I waited and waited, why did you just come back! I'm worried that you are not safe on the road!"
The little one went back to school again. Early in the morning, she went to school carrying her schoolbag. At noon, have lunch at school. After returning to the college dormitory, Hong Zhanhui gave her tutoring lessons and taught her Mandarin.
The little girl learned to cook. If her brother went out to sell things and could not come back, she would cook alone and wait for him to come back to eat. No matter how late at night, she would not go to bed without seeing her brother come back. . One weekend in April 2005, Hong Zhanhui went out to sell products. When he came back, he missed the bus and had to walk home. From the center of Huaihua to Huaihua University, it is about 4 kilometers. When Hong Zhanhui came home, it was already very late. When he opened the door, he was surprised to see that the "little one" had not gone to bed yet, but fell asleep on the table... What a good sister, Hong Zhanhui couldn't help feeling sad, and he picked her up and put her away. Go to bed. The moment he reached the bed, the "little one" woke up, opened his eyes and threw himself into his arms: "Brother, I waited and waited, why did you just come back! I'm worried that you are not safe on the road!" This is not true! What an ordinary 10-year-old child would say, but his young sister was so sensible, Hong Zhanhui shed tears involuntarily.
Every time she sees Hong Zhanhui unhappy, the little girl will remember it in her heart. She listens to her brother and tries her best to help him. Her brother sold phone cards, and it was inconvenient to go to girls' dormitories to sell them, so she would take them and go to dormitories to sell them. If she sees an empty bottle on the road, she will pick it up. When her brother comes back from the city to buy school supplies, she will help him carry them.
The time spent together by brothers and sisters is happy. The 25th day of the fifth lunar month in 2005 was Hong Zhanhui’s birthday.
On this day, he suddenly heard a song being requested for his birthday on the campus radio. He was surprised: no one had ever mentioned his birthday in so many years! I quickly went to find out who ordered it. Only then did he realize that his sister had remembered his birthday and it was his sister who had been with him for more than 10 years who ordered it for him. That night, when the little boy came back from school, he was given a paper crane as a gift. The little one said: "Brother, this is what Sister Gao Qin taught me. It was so difficult to fold, but I finally folded it. I have no money and can't buy anything for you, so I gave this to you..."
In July 2005, Xiao Doandian scored 94 points in Chinese and 96 points in mathematics in the final exam organized by Shimen Primary School. He was awarded the honor of "Top Ten Teenagers" by the school for his special life experience and outstanding performance in school. title. Nothing could be happier than Hong Zhanhui. Looking at the award certificate of "Little One", after more than 10 years of hardship, Hong Zhanhui felt a warmth that he had never felt before suddenly surged into his heart. Today's family affection is the best reward for his 10 years of hard work.
Netizens were moved and commented gt; , and more importantly, I already know how to support myself.”
The hard life was about to end, and during this holiday, Hong Zhanhui returned home and was surprised to see his long-ill father. Perhaps because he was admitted to college, his condition improved greatly. Although the person looked old and demented, he never behaved manically. My mother also felt guilty and returned to her home after a long absence. There was also news about her younger brother, whom she had not heard from for several years. He was working in Zhejiang, had a girlfriend, and was now preparing to earn money to build a house.
Now Hong Zhanhui has reached the stage of internship, but there is no one to take care of his sister, so he can only postpone the internship until after the year. His biggest hope is to send his sister to university, because he has put his sister My study was delayed, and I felt unwilling to do so.
"The most difficult time has passed. The only thing I worry about is my father's illness." Life is always a mixture of success and failure, hope and disappointment, joy and pain, scenes of sorrow and unforgettable scenes. There are smooth roads on the road of life, but there are also crossings without boats and riverbanks without bridges. At this time, you can only ferry yourself across. When he was alone and helpless, Hong Zhanhui said that unremitting pursuit is the true meaning of life! There must be hope in life, and there must be confidence in life. Compared with before, Hong Zhanhui’s life is a little brighter
