An accident that added fuel to the fire
1993, Cui, then 31, was going to drive a tricycle to the town to buy some daily necessities as usual, but was about to leave when he found that there was not much oil in the car. In order not to run out of fuel halfway and cause inconvenience to himself and everyone, he is going to go to the oil storage at home to refuel himself.
The temperature difference in Heilongjiang 10 is particularly large, with high energy reaching more than 20 degrees and the lowest temperature being only four or five degrees. This strong temperature difference makes diesel oil freeze firmly. At that time, Cui put the frozen diesel bucket on the fire to keep warm because he was in a hurry to go out.
Anyone who knows a little about chemistry knows that oil is flammable. When it comes into contact with fire in the presence of oxygen, it will quickly reach the ignition point, produce a chemical reaction and explode. This is why we often say "adding fuel to the fire".
Cui not only didn't go to the town, but hurt himself-the strong heat wave pushed him more than three meters away, and he suffered moderate and severe burns all over his body, especially his hands and face. Cui's injury really added fuel to the fire for this poor family. Cui is the only labor force in the family, and his wife suffers from severe lumbar disc herniation. Cui Renxian does all the manual work at home. Before that, he was really an indomitable spirit, but he lost to knowledge and common sense.
After three months of convalescence in the hospital, he walked out of the hospital gate completely different, and his appearance and interior were changed by the explosion. His hands were severely burned and deformed in this powerful explosion, and only his ring finger and forefinger could hardly move slightly.
Seeing that the savings at home suddenly ran out because of saving lives, Cui, as a man, knew that he had to shoulder the burden of a man. He looked at himself. He has only been in primary school for three years and can't recognize a few words. Besides, his whole body is injured like this. He hasn't even counted his hands, and he can't do manual work. Even if I want to lighten the burden for my family, I am willing but unable to do so.
An "accident" in an accident
By chance, I visited his classmate's house and recalled the short three years of primary school with him. When I was a child, I was always praised by my teacher for my excellent literary talent. At the age of six or seven, I could write a good hand. At that time, students were envious. I didn't expect this sudden disaster, otherwise Cui might become an excellent calligrapher.
Wake up the dreamer in one word. Cui Renxian wondered why he didn't make good use of this talent. Although I am disabled, I can still move. If I can't even do this less tiring and talented job well, then I'm really "useless". Just do it, life can't be delayed, and he immediately began the process of "practicing calligraphy".
Because there are only two fingers left in his hand that can move slightly freely, he can only write with chalk. At the same time, because the family really became a "poor household", he picked up a splint, covered it with black ink, wrote a word himself, and practiced it repeatedly.
Life actually passes quickly, especially when you do what you like. In this way, Cui practiced for ten years. That splint has been with Cui for many years, and he spends more than ten hours with it every day. Time left traces on the splint and Cui, and also extracted the essence. He practiced a good hand.
In 2004, Cui finally had confidence in his font, so he decided to go to the market and ask the masses to help him see if his font could stand the appreciation. I didn't expect a good harvest. Passers-by praised it one after another, and even some parents said-look at an old beggar who can write such beautiful words, what can he do in the future!
Nowadays, major social media have become the media for people to record their lives. Many people are willing to share their lives and let everyone find happiness together, so it has also become a good platform. A netizen posted Cui's "excellent handwriting" on the Weibo platform out of a sharing attitude, which immediately caused a huge sensation. For a time, news such as begging uncle's good handwriting, chalk writing comparable to printing, and disabled people's writing reaching an unparalleled level quickly occupied the headlines.
"Word" leads to life
Founder Group, which provided fonts for Microsoft Office at that time, was also deeply shocked. Not only because of Cui's good handwriting, but also because of his spirit of longing for nirvana and persistence for ten years in adversity, this spirit is the most precious.
So on 20 1 1, Fangzheng font library officially released a message to the effect that our company is very moved and optimistic about Cui's wonderful chalk words, so we sincerely hope to cooperate with him to make Cui's incisive, lively and vivid fonts play a greater commercial value. Please provide clues from people who know you well, and we will help you find them. Our company will provide clues to reward.
When people thought that Cui Hui in the "rumor" was a "calligrapher" dressed in Tsing Yi and living in an elegant garden, they were surprised to find that he was just a beggar writing on a busy street. He was "extremely humble" and gratefully said "thank you" to those who gave him a dollar or five dollars, and all the people present were moved.
With the help of well-intentioned people, a few days later, the person in charge of Founder Font negotiated a contract with Cui, successfully signed an agreement on the entrustment of Founder Font, and incorporated Cui's fonts into Founder Font, named Founder Font, and promised that all the profits within 50 years after the font was listed would be owned by Cui, and Cui had already made a profit of 500,000 yuan.
Although Cui has lived a life of food and clothing, he said that he will not give up his life of "busking" in the short term, but he will not be a "beggar" again.
In his begging life at that time, Cui should have heard many parents follow his example and set an example for their children. Maybe at this time, Cui is not thinking about getting more money or less money, or he wants to hear more people praise him to satisfy his vanity. In fact, to a large extent, what he thinks may be to pass on his spirit and perseverance to more people, because there are no people abandoned by God, only those who give up on themselves.
Practicing calligraphy is not only as simple as reflecting your own skills, but also cultivating your patience and perseverance. City life now is too impetuous and chaotic. Let yourself relax and calm down to improve your literary accomplishment. Anyone can, depending on whether you want to or not!
