Huang Meifang is a construction worker from Shenzhen. She told the N video reporter that in Shenzhen, strangers gave her selfless help, and the "dream realization plan" gave her the opportunity for further study. She is full of gratitude here and hopes to give back to the society by being a social worker. Today, she has several jobs at the same time, taking into account study, work and life. She wants to stay in this warm city with her family by her own efforts and set an example for her children.
Sign up for the entrance examination
Huang Meifang, her husband and son have lived in Shenzhen for seven or eight years. She is an assembly line worker in an electronics factory in Shenzhen, and her husband is a truck driver. In order to strive for opportunities for the family and the future and give children a better educational environment, Huang Meifang began to save points for deepening several years ago.
Improving one's education and ability is the main way for Huang Meifang to accumulate points, and Shenzhen Stock Exchange also provides corresponding opportunities. 20 18 obtained a junior college diploma through Shenzhen Federation of Trade Unions' "Dream Realization Plan" and scored 60 points. Since it was launched in 2008, the "Dream Realization Program" has gone through fifteen years, with a total investment of150 million yuan, which has helped 23,556 employees realize their college dreams and provided public welfare skills training and real-name registration system job training for more than 200,000 employees.
By 2020, 40-year-old Huang Meifang has accumulated 98 points through college diploma, social security points and factory bonus points, but she still has no chance to settle in Shenzhen by two points.
The time limit for entering Shenzhen is 45 years old, and Huang Meifang has five years left.
In the past five years, Huang Meifang has made two preparations to obtain a social worker qualification certificate and an undergraduate diploma. No matter how the household registration policy is adjusted, it is always right to constantly improve yourself.
She became busier.
Through the "dream come true plan", Huang Meifang took five exams before he was successfully admitted to the undergraduate course. "In fact, the biggest problem in learning is limited energy, and everything else is fine." She told the Southern Reporter that on weekdays, she works in the factory during the day and checks the completion of her children's homework after coming home from work. After the children have finished eating and taking a bath, they should be tutored, and they won't have time to tidy up their books until the children fall asleep late at night. Every night at eleven or twelve o'clock is her study time.
"It's like fighting a war. Take an hour off at noon and divide it into four parts. Go home in a quarter of an hour, cook in a quarter of an hour, eat in a quarter of an hour and go back in a quarter of an hour." Every minute is arranged by her in the timetable, and no minute is wasted on study, life and work.
In June this year, Huang Meifang took the vocational qualification examination for intermediate social workers, and the results will be announced in September. Now undergraduate study has also entered the stage of graduation thesis writing. Huang Meifang's thesis is entitled "The Impact of Land Trust on Modern Agriculture". At that time, I didn't understand what this meant, but after thinking about it, she said, "Isn't it that the young people in our hometown are running outside, and the old people at home can't plant wasteland, and some people contract fields to grow Wogan and so on?" Isn't this topic just right for me? "
Huang Meifang told Southern Reporter that at present, the framework of the paper has been conceived. Although I still have some headaches in writing, "I will definitely not give up, and I have persisted at this stage." If all goes well, she will graduate from college and get a bachelor's degree next March.
"I won't give up" is a phrase that Huang Meifang kept repeating, even at the moment of collapse.
She told the Southern Reporter that she had undergone cyst surgery. "I was particularly sad at the time, but I didn't want to give up. After the collapse, I thought for a moment, and I couldn't let my children take my old road again, so I cheered up again. "
In addition to adding points to the family, all the efforts made by Huang Meifang are also aimed at setting an example for children. She knows the importance of setting an example. "Because the child is looking at his parents, the child will do what the parents do. How can I ask my children what I can't do? "
rush about
"Study hard, reading is your way out." Huang Meifang still remembers her father's warning when she was a child, and hopes that her children will remember it.
Huang Meifang grew up in rural Guangxi, and her parents contracted farming in mountainous areas, raising many children. In the 1980s, other people in the village still preferred sons to daughters, but Huang Meifang's parents never abused any children.
"Your tuition can always be dug up from the mountains." With the encouragement of his parents, Huang Meifang developed the habit of studying hard at an early age and was successfully admitted to high school. However, when I was a freshman, my father's sudden death brought a great blow to this family. "In order to treat our father, we can say that we are bankrupt." The burden of the family falls on the mother and the elderly and children at home. After graduating from high school, Huang Meifang chose to leave his hometown to work in Dongguan in order to pay off his debts and raise his younger brother and sister.
At the age of 30, Huang Meifang became a mother. In order to take care of the infant baby, she left the factory and opened an ice cream wholesale shop in Dongguan. As the children grow up day by day, the ever-increasing living expenses and education fees are becoming a headache for Huang Meifang. She has seen countless problems in other families, and finally happened to herself-how to keep the children around?
"Ah di! The kindergarten here is too expensive. Do you want us to send you back to your hometown to go to school? " The child's father asked jokingly. "Don't! Where is my mother, where is my home! " Huang Meifang said that the child's immature words deeply touched her and strengthened her idea of keeping the child with her.
Later, Huang Meifang and her husband opened a restaurant in Dongguan, hoping to increase their income. However, two years later, the hotel closed down because of poor management, "losing a lot." Relatives and friends who received the news called to comfort them, "Don't think too much, you can earn again without money." Huang Meifang said, "I can go through this myself. It's a big deal to start all over again, but at that time, the children will go to primary school."
When she was worried about her children's schooling, Huang Meifang learned from her friends, "In Shenzhen, foreigners can enter public schools as long as their children have complete documents."
"I have been running for my life all the way. I don't want my children to run as hard as we do. " The idea of sending children to school in Shenzhen is constantly fermenting in Huang Mei's heart. During that time, she often went to Shenzhen to learn about the local admission policy. The more she knows about Shenzhen, the more determined Huang Meifang is to take her children to study in Shenzhen.
From her hometown in Guangxi to Dongguan, and then from Dongguan to Shenzhen, Huang Meifang ran all the way to what she thought was a better life. Huang Meifang seems relaxed when asked what kind of person she wants her children to be after all these efforts. "In fact, I just hope that he will not have a bad life and do something that contributes to society. It's that simple. "
Keep; stay
At the end of the documentary, Huang Meifang, who is watching the children's drama about migrant workers, sat under the stage and secretly wiped her tears.
"I look distressed." During her many years of working career, she witnessed many workers being forced to make a living and had to send their children back to their hometown. The scene of the separation of children from their parents made her very sad, and also buried a insistence in her heart-never let her children become left-behind children in the future. "Their parents are rushing forward like me, and there is no retreat." Huang Meifang has a firm tone.
On 20 14, Huang Meifang moved to Shenzhen with her husband and son. At that time, I just wanted to keep my children around and solve the problem of children going to primary school. I have never thought about what I will face in my life in Shenzhen in the future.
This city that shouted "Shenzhen people are coming" to the outside world gave Huang Meifang a different kind of warmth.
Recalling past experiences, Huang Meifang was still moved to be speechless.
She recalled a detail to the Southern Reporter: Shortly after arriving in Shenzhen, her sister, who was also in Shenzhen, gave birth to a second child. In her spare time on weekends, she took care of her sister with her children. One night at ten o'clock when riding a battery car home, the child fell asleep, so she tied the child to her body with a silk scarf. Along the way, a man who didn't know whether it was the traffic police or the public security brigade followed her on a motorcycle. As soon as she got home, the man drove in front of her and said, "I won't follow you. Your child is asleep. Watch yourself."
"I thought he was on patrol, but I didn't expect him to see me alone with my child, and it was night, afraid that my child would fall. I am so touched. " Huang Meifang said.
Another time, when the child was seven or eight years old, he suddenly had a high fever close to 40℃. It was late at night, and her husband couldn't come back in time to work the night shift. Huang Meifang drove the children to Shajing People's Hospital. Because she was particularly anxious at that time, afraid that the child would burn out, she walked a long ten kilometers crying.
When I got to the hospital, there was no one in the street, only the security guard was at the door. Huang Meifang still remembers that when the security guard saw her holding the baby, she rushed over to ask what had happened. When she learned that the child had a high fever, she immediately rushed into the emergency room, and doctors and nurses immediately took over the child for treatment. After the child's temperature dropped, his legs suddenly went soft and he sat on the ground.
Strangers gave her selfless help twice, and the "dream come true plan" gave her the opportunity to continue her study. Huang Meifang is full of gratitude to Shenzhen. She also wants to do her best to help others and repay the society.
Therefore, she used the weekend time to take her children to volunteer, assist in traffic guidance at traffic lights, participate in activities to care for the elderly, and help promote urban environmental protection. Self-taught undergraduate majors in Huang Meifang are also the direction of social work. She said that she hopes to continue to develop in the field of social work in the future.

In order to take better care of the children, Huang Meifang quit his job in the electronics factory. Today, she has several jobs at the same time, doing goat milk sales business, operating e-commerce to sell Guangxi Wogan, Liuzhou snail powder, Baise mango and other local products, and receiving some manual work from the factory every noon.
Work and life are very busy and full, she said. I want to stay in this warm city with my family by my own efforts and set an example for my children.
