"I am very lucky."
As the year is approaching, the reporter finally contacted Li Yong, who is busy returning to Qingyang for the New Year. When this very strong young man heard that he was going to interview him, he was a little grateful and surprised. Li Yong said that he graduated from Northwest Normal University in July 2003. The others are ok. After graduation, he directly stayed in the School of Mathematics and Information Science of Northwest Normal University to teach. At present, he is very satisfied with his work and has a calm mind. In fact, when he graduated, some units such as Beijing and Hainan asked him to go, but because Normal University valued him more and he liked the northwest, there might be a good development here, so he chose to stay in school.
"My goal is to take the postgraduate entrance examination and be admitted."
Li Yong said that when he was studying in Qingyang Teachers College, an old expert from a hospital in Beijing once wrote him a letter. In the letter, the old expert said: I suggest you continue your studies and don't want to stay in the mountain village as a teacher as soon as you graduate, because if you can study as a graduate student and doctor, you may be able to make some contributions to the country and society; If you stay in the mountain village as a teacher, it means that you can only contribute to one primary and secondary school. The old expert's words have been in his mind. Li Yong said, I think the old expert is right. My next goal is to take the postgraduate entrance examination and take the exam. Besides, if you don't want to make progress and pursue further studies in colleges and universities, it means there is no way out.
"Go home and see my sister."
Talking about going home for the New Year, Li Yong said sadly that although my parents are gone, I still want to go back and see my sister, teachers and classmates. Because in the most difficult days, I can go today because of my sister's help and support, as well as teachers and classmates, who gave me a lot of help. Just go back this holiday. There may not be much time in the future, so we should hurry up and study. Our reporter Li Xueping.

Li Yong, 1980 was born in Yongji Village, Waxie Township, Ning County, Gansu Province in April. At that time, Li Yong's father was 52 years old and his mother was 47 years old. This is undoubtedly a very happy thing for the old couple with children. But for this rural person with a family of six, one son and three daughters, is it joy or worry? No one can say for sure. 1986 One day in the autumn, Li Yong's father suddenly became paralyzed. Li Yong's eldest brother and elder sister are married, while Eelsen's younger sister is still studying. The burden of family naturally fell on his thin mother and 7-year-old Li Yong. Cleaning up his father's excrement and urine, holding firewood and burning kang, picking grass to feed pigs, mixing materials for cows and helping his mother cook have become the chores that Xiao Li Yong must do every day.
Li Yong primary school studies hard, but studies well. 1In July, 1992, Li Yong entered Waxie Junior High School in Ning County with the second place in the township. Being far from home, Li Yong always takes care of the housework before going to school. However, something unexpected happened. 1995 February 18, 63-year-old mother died suddenly because of cerebral hemorrhage. 1In May, 995, Li Yong was recommended to study in Qingyang Normal University because he won the first prize in Gansu Division of the National Junior High School Chemistry Olympiad. In order to take care of his father, Li Yong resolutely shouldered his paralyzed father and rented a house near the school. On September 7th, the first day of the freshman's term in Qingyang Normal University, Li Yong took his father to Xifeng with a luggage cart. From then on, I embarked on my father's road to study.
1May 7, 996 to May 20, 2 1 year, CCTV Focus Interview, documentary window column group and former changchun film studio screenwriter (now screenwriter of Beijing Forbidden City Film Company) successively arrived at Qingyang Normal School and Waxie Junior High School in Ning County where Li Yong had studied and lived, for on-the-spot interviews and filming. 1At the end of 1996, a film based on Li Yong was made to reflect the difficulties of rural children in the backward areas of western China. 1998 In the spring, the film "Going to School with Dad Behind My Back" premiered in Beijing, and was released nationwide in early April.

199665438+In February, the United Nations Development Programme and the China Youth Development Foundation jointly awarded me the International Youth Poverty Eradication Award (1996). 1May 1997, I was awarded the title of National Excellent Communist Youth League Member by the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League, and the title of "Top Ten Outstanding Youth in Gansu Province" by the Gansu Provincial Committee of the Communist Youth League and the Provincial Youth Federation.
Since March 1996, we have received more than 3,000 letters from all walks of life and donated more than 60,000 yuan. I often think that the significance of people's concern and support for me in society is not that I am a person, but that it is an recognition of the spirit of hard work, self-reliance and self-improvement of our young people in the west. 1997, I applied to Qingyang Normal School in Gansu Province: 50,000 yuan donated by the society was used to establish the "Award Fund for Outstanding Students with Difficulties". At present, more than 50 students have completed their studies through the support of this fund. 1May, 998, I realized my long-cherished wish to be the glorious party member of China.
In June 2003, when I graduated from Northwest Normal University with excellent results, I chose to stay in school for work in the face of the kind invitation of many enterprises and companies. I think my growing experience is suitable for student work, and I am willing to help my students like a teacher.
