Although some ideas in the ancient version of "Twenty-four Filial Piety" do not conform to modern moral standards, China people attach great importance to whether a person is filial and responsible. Even a great talent will be criticized for his talent and moral character. Compared with many people who forget their parents' kindness easily, Liu had a touching experience 12 years ago.
Liu's first half life is almost a microcosm of children in poor areas. Poor family, difficulty in going to school, family ruin, supporting the whole family with a young body and studying while working-these situations may be unimaginable for many children growing up in the city.
1988, Liu was born in a remote mountain village in Wangmo County, southwest Guizhou. There are no playgrounds, zoos and children's palaces. For Liu, the barking of birds and dogs in the country is a normal life. The situation of the Liu family is similar to that of the neighbors. They can't earn much money all the year round, so they can only maintain food and clothing.
God has set many tests for this child. Liu Xiangxiu lost his father forever before he was five years old. Although he is young, he knows that his life is very difficult. After a night of rain, my mother has a problem because she can't accept the reality. After a few years, my brother and sister ran away from home again and never knew where they had gone.
The original complete family has fallen into deep suffering. Liu looked at her mother who was sometimes crazy and sometimes quiet, then at the empty house, dried her tears, and shouldered the heavy responsibility of supporting her family with her young body. Mom can't work, and she needs someone to take care of her basic life. Liu cooks and feeds her every day.
The children of the poor families have long been taken care of, and the Liu family still has fields, but Liu Mingbai, he can't take care of his studies and manage the crops in the fields at the same time. He turned to his neighbors for help, rented out all the fields, and only received 500 Jin of grain a year. These are simply not enough expenses. Huanli Liu went up the mountain with the villagers in his spare time. There are many medicinal materials in the mountains, so he can sell some money by taking them to the county seat.
While taking care of his mother and working to support his family, Liu finished primary school and was admitted to junior high school with excellent results. Despite the hard life, Liu still has a dream. He wants to go to college and change his life with knowledge. In order to dream, Liu picked up plastic bottles and waste paper newspapers in the street and went to the construction site to move bricks with the elders in the village.
Liu should carefully count the money he earned several times and then carefully put it away. Tuition is money that must be spent, so living expenses have to be saved. Liu is careful and never complains no matter how hard or tired he is. He always believed that man could control his own destiny. As long as they are admitted to the university, life will turn for the better.
Liu's efforts were not in vain. At the age of 20, he took the college entrance examination for the second time and successfully got the admission notice from Shandong Linyi University. He showed the notice to his mother, who smiled. However, Liu is faced with a difficult problem. In the local area, she can also take care of her mother and school at the same time. If she goes away, who will take care of her life?
Liu thought about it and decided to take his mother to Shandong. At that time, Liu's story of "crazy mother went to college thousands of miles away" touched countless people. Has been rated as touching Linyi news figures, Linyi moral model. Caring people in the society wanted to give Liu some money to support his studies, but Liu refused one by one.
He thinks that he has hands and feet, can work to make money, and those who lose their ability to work need donations most. When he was in college, Liu often worked as a part-time job, running four places a week, and he was as busy as a bee. In addition, Liu helped other students to contact part-time jobs and sponsored poor children in several hometowns, who were later admitted to universities.
During his college years, Liu was enthusiastic about public welfare and participated in many caring activities. He publicized everywhere, raised more than 40 thousand donations for poor children, participated in the establishment of scholarships, and inspired other students to make progress with his own example. University time flies, my mother's condition has been very stable, and Liu Ye ushered in the graduation moment.
To everyone's surprise, Liu didn't choose to stay in a big city and didn't buy a house or a car. He declined the employment opportunities offered by many companies and returned to his hometown to be a teacher and teach. Liu, 24, silently changed his mind. He doesn't want to turn his fate around by knowledge. He hopes that the poor children in his hometown can start a new life.
Today, Liu's life is stable and peaceful, and this once miserable child has become the vice principal of a high school in his hometown. Over the years, Liu has been insisting on subsidizing students in mountain villages, giving inspirational lectures in various places and helping students raise clothes and stationery. More than 65,438+0,700 children benefited from Liu's charity.
The students all like Liu very much and affectionately call him "Brother Xiang". He has become an example for students to motivate themselves and a popular "focus figure" in the school. During the interview, the students told me that as long as they saw Liu, they felt that there were no insurmountable difficulties, as he wrote in his diary: When you complain that you have no shoes to wear, look back at those who have no feet.
Liu is married and takes care of her mother with her every day. He always tells people around him that he must dream and believe that struggle will bring strength. Even though life is much better than in the past, Liu is still used to saving. He focuses on teaching and educating people because the future of the country lies in the classroom of the school.
On April 28th, 2020, Liu won the 24th "China Youth May 4th Medal". It is said that it is the most difficult for people to stick to their initial intentions, but Liu used his own experience to prove that a person can face difficulties and persevere just for the good wishes hidden in his heart. Liu is a filial child and a positive figure in society. His spirit and excellent quality are worth learning by countless people.
