Poor family, learning difficulties.
In the film, Shiva, the protagonist, grew up without a mother and only lived with her father and sister. When both children were facing the problem of further education, because there was no money at home, my sister gave the opportunity to study to her younger brother. Shi Wa did not live up to the expectations of his father and sister, and achieved good results in national competitions many times.
After he received the notice from the normal school, the whole family thought that the family would be better. But something unexpected happened and his father was unfortunately injured. The doctor told him that his father would spend the rest of his life in bed. After learning the news, his father wanted to take his own life to reduce the burden on his family? But Shi Wa is very stubborn. He thought he could take care of his father and his studies at the same time, so he began to carry his father to school every day.
In real life, Shi Wa's prototype Li Yong's life is more difficult than in the movie. 1980 In April, a baby was born in Yongji Village, Waxie Township, Ning County, Gansu Province. He is the fifth child in the family. In the year when he was born, her mother was 47 and her father was 52. They are both the most ordinary farmers. The meager income from a bumper harvest is not enough to feed a family of seven or eight.
Before the age of 6, my father either worked in the fields or did odd jobs outside to supplement his family. At work, he had an accident and had to be paralyzed in bed. At that time, other brothers and sisters in the family were married, and his mother was in poor health, leaving him and two sisters who were studying.
Li Yong Jr. was forced to learn to grow up from that moment on. At home, he will help his parents, clean the housework and do farm work. But whenever my sister comes back from school, Li Yong always happily follows her to learn what they learned at school that day.
Although his family is poor, Li Yong's father still believes that only knowledge can change his fate. So when Li Yong should enter school age, he did not hesitate to take out the money at home and buy Li Yong school equipment. Li Yong knew that his learning opportunity was hard-won, so he studied hard. He is like a little tail around the teacher, seizing the opportunity to study hard anytime and anywhere.
1992 Li Yong, who graduated from primary school, successfully entered the local middle school because of his excellent grades, and remained absorbed in his studies for three years in junior high school. He won the first prize of the Chemistry Olympiad in Gansu Province in his senior year. At that time, applying for normal schools was a trend among students. Starting from his own actual situation, Li Yong thought that he should go to work as soon as possible to reduce the family burden, so he accepted the recommended quota of Qingyang Normal School and successfully became a prospective normal student.
Going to school with my father moved China.
This poor boy changed his life through knowledge, which was originally a happy thing, and Li Yong's family was also happy and proud of him. However, Li Yong's excellence will definitely make him suffer more. Just when he was happy to report to the normal school, an accident changed his life track.
That year, my mother died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage, because after my father was paralyzed, my mother became the pillar of the family. Her death not only hit Li Yong mentally, but also made this already poor family worse. As a man, young Li Yong thought he could be the pillar of his career, so he made a brave decision to take his father to school.
When this decision came out, the strongest opposition was Li Yong's father himself. He felt that he could no longer be a drag on his son, so he once wanted to commit suicide. But Li Yong comforted his father that everything would be fine and the difficulties would eventually pass. With the encouragement of his son, his father gradually adjusted his mentality and no longer opposed Li Yong carrying him to school.
From the opening day of Qingyang Normal University on 1995, a young man walked on campus with his father on his back, which instantly became a beautiful scenery, and soon their behavior attracted the attention of local media.
1in March, 1996, the local TV station reported that Li Yong went to school behind his father's back, which immediately aroused widespread concern in society. People affirmed Li Yong's behavior of going to school behind his father's back and were deeply moved by his filial piety. Everyone extended a helping hand to help the poor family. Social caring people donated money for it, raising nearly 60 thousand yuan of love funds.
Li Yong said in an interview that he was very grateful to people from all walks of life for their concern and help, but this gentleman didn't get food. With this money, Li Yong still scrimps and saves, and lives as hard and plain as before.
He also donated the remaining 50,000 yuan to Qingyang Normal University, hoping to use the money as a fund to help more children like him. Li Yong's move also attracted the attention of director Zhou Youchao, who decided to make a film based on Li Yong, called "Carrying Dad to School".
After the film was released, it won the special award of the jury of the National College Student Film Festival and the bronze sculpture award of the 29th Giffoni International Film Festival at 1998. The success of the film made the society pay attention to Li Yong, a student with learning difficulties because of family poverty. More and more films of the same type have been put on the screen. Many students in the same situation as Li Yong can also get help to return to school.
All virtues and filial piety are the first, and teenagers are constantly striving for self-improvement. Li Yong's behavior of carrying his father to school and shouldering the heavy burden of his family moved China and everyone in the audience. It can be said that Li Yong's behavior is a benchmark for contemporary youth. He has set an example for countless young people, and he is worth learning from each of us.
Give back to society and live an ordinary life.
After graduating from Qingyang Teachers College, Li Yong did not stop studying. He chose to continue studying and was successfully admitted to Northwest Normal University. He hopes that he can take the road of teaching and educating people and help more children change their destiny through knowledge. Next, he was admitted to China Renmin University as a doctor, and went to work in an enterprise in Beijing after graduation.
Shi Wa in the film has become an elite white-collar worker in real life. Many people began to envy Li Yong, and Li Yong has also become someone else's child. However, after becoming a white-collar worker, Li Yong always had a wish in his heart. He hopes to repay the help of the society with his practical actions.
In Li Yong's view, without the assistance of caring people from all walks of life, there would be no present life. After some struggle, Li Yong chose to return to his alma mater and become an ordinary people's teacher. In an interview, Li Yong said that he was an ordinary person, and he got help from the society because of his helplessness, which gave him the opportunity to learn knowledge and change his destiny. Then when he can give back to the society, he should not escape.
Now Li Yong is just an ordinary university teacher. He may not have embarked on the elite road as we expected, but when life has given him hardships, it is unusual for Li Yong to keep his original heart and be kind.
