He carries a backpack every day and rides a bicycle with plastic flowers on it on the campus of Zhengzhou University. Like ordinary students, he goes to the classroom to rub classes, reads books under street lamps, flies kites on the playground, chats with his classmates about life and plays table tennis. Over the years, he has changed from "Brother Kite" in the students' mouth to "Grandpa Kite". He is the legendary grass-roots figure of Zhengzhou University-"Kite Old Man".

Grandpa Kite is Li Xuecheng, born in 1956, who lives in Li Tang Village, the western suburb of Zhengzhou.

1980, Li Xuecheng missed her first love and the girl married someone else.

198 1 year, under the pressure of parents, Li Xuecheng married his first wife. "The first time I saw her, I felt that this girl looked lifeless and not sunny." At the order of his parents, he gave in. But this marriage didn't last long. Four years later, the two divorced and the wife took away her young daughter. The second marriage started in a hurry. At the end of the year of divorce, he married his second wife. However, in the second year of marriage, Li Xuecheng had a car accident while driving a tricycle to Liuxi Lake, which made the poor family worse. Just one hundred days after their son died, his wife left the father and son, and the second marriage ended in vain.

According to Li Xuecheng, 1996, the rural areas of Zhengzhou were still production teams. At that time, the production team leader was a bully, selling hundreds of acres of land in the team privately. Li Xuecheng was one of the few scholars in the village at that time. He was elected as a farmer's representative to argue with the production team leader. "That was the best time in my life, and there was no three-in-one combination."

He left the land in the team, but he sent himself to prison. From 1996, Li Xuecheng began his prison career. Because of his good behavior, the original three-year sentence was reduced to two years and four months. "Crime is not too big or too small, and three years in prison is not too short or too long. I have followed my feelings most of my life. "

Since then, he has lived alone. After he got out of prison, he didn't even have a shelter from the wind and rain. He lived in relatives' homes, accounting offices in the village, Internet cafes and high school classmates' homes until the opening of Zheng Da New District. The campus occupied more than 4 acres of his land and compensated more than 20 thousand. He built three houses near the school (later, the houses were demolished and became relocated households in the suburbs) and began a love affair with Zheng Da.

Before the end of 2006, I like reading online at home, and I don't step on the door without leaving the second door; At the end of 2006, because of the demolition, he went to the campus in Zheng Da, but he actually liked it.

"After coming to Zheng Da, I was with young people, and I slowly learned a lot and basic things with them." The original one meal a day has become three meals a day. It used to be difficult to exercise. Now I like sports, playing table tennis and flying kites. The habits of night owls have gradually changed. My life is very happy and my mentality is good. "This is due to these young people, these students."

He rode his unique bicycle through Zheng Da University and greeted a group of students. He played a game with the students at the table tennis table in Liuyuan, took a comfortable rest under the pavilion in the rockery, ate a bowl of cheap noodle soup in Songyuan's restaurant, quietly read a book on the road in front of the teaching building, and unconsciously noticed that the street lamps were all on.

From March 27th to March 29th, 2005, Zheng Da Kite Culture Festival was held ceremoniously. Celebrity Villa of the Association invited the elderly kite-flying people to participate in the kite culture festival, and taught Zheng college students to make handmade kites on the spot.

Occasionally, some classmates will talk to him. He was moved and proud. "There are two worlds inside and outside the school gate. In society, respect for people is the first thing, but not in school. I am very happy with the students. Zheng Da is like my home. "

In his life, he experienced two marriages and was imprisoned for three years. He was once poor and homeless. He also suddenly had money and a house because of the demolition. He has no wife who supports each other, and no children who try to live under his knees. Now he is still a person, but he lives a natural and unrestrained life, with ups and downs. As he himself said, "There are too many forks in the road. Life is about making choices, and there is no right or wrong choice."
