In the early years, my parents, younger brothers and sisters were able to go to school, facing the loess and facing the sky for many years.
My friend lived up to expectations and was admitted to a key high school with the top ten scores in the county. Since then, his academic performance has been among the best, and he also went to work in a very good company after graduating from college.
On the other hand, his sister is not as eager for knowledge as his brother. She was worshipped in high school and kept up with her neighbors in college.
Children from poor families are managed early, and children from poor families are promising. ......
These words may have been recognized by countless people more than 20 years ago, but now they are sneered at by many people.
Remember the well-known "big-eyed girl" 29 years ago?
She is a symbol of "Project Hope". The little girl in the photo has ear-length short hair, plain clothes, a pencil point in her hand, and dark and bright eyes full of knowledge, looking straight ahead and reaching people's hearts. The silent picture conveyed her desire for learning.
65438-0989 The "Hope Project" public welfare project initiated by the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League and the China Youth Development Foundation aims to help out-of-school children in poverty-stricken areas.
Before photographer Jie Hailong took this photo, Hope Project didn't receive much donations.
199 1 year, 7-year-old Su Mingjuan was in class, and these big eyes eager for knowledge were just caught by Jie Hailong. This photo was named "I Want to Read" by the author Jie Hailong.
After this photo was published, it was reprinted by many big media, and the protagonist of this photo, Su Mingjuan, completely changed his fate.
Su Mingjuan, born in 1983, grew up in Jinzhai County, Anhui Province.
No mountain is the biggest reason for people's poverty in Jinzhai County, and the annual land harvest in Su Mingjuan is only enough for the whole family to eat for three months. More often, her father Su Liangyou can only make a living by cutting wood and catching eels every morning and buying some rations. The tuition fee of 100 yuan per semester in Su Mingjuan has become the biggest burden for this family.
Parents patched it all together, borrowed money from people everywhere, and barely scraped together enough tuition. Su Mingjuan also cherishes this opportunity and works very hard at school. She told herself that she must go to college and let her parents live a good life, instead of working so hard.
Su Mingjuan went to school at that time.
Su Mingjuan often participated in various activities of "Project Hope" after she was "on fire" at that time, but she, Do not forget your initiative mind, is still working hard on the road of learning.
14 years old was invited to attend the 14th Youth League Congress in China, and she was the youngest in the Great Hall of the People. At that meeting, she was also elected as an alternate member of the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League.
At that time, all walks of life donated a lot to Su Mingjuan, but their family only received a small amount of funding, most of which was returned by Su Mingjuan's father.
Su Mingjuan's father said:
We have received enough funds, so we should leave the money to others who need it.
Such a simple and kind quality can't help but make people moved.
Su Mingjuan, who received the aid, studied harder. She has never forgotten her initial intention of studying hard and getting rid of poverty, not to mention the financial support of the state and society.
With the attention of Project Hope and all walks of life, she grew up healthily, successfully completed her studies, and was admitted to the Department of Financial Management of Anhui University with excellent results.
During her college years, what impressed her the most was the experience of organizing several students to do voluntary teaching work in another poor village in Jinzhai County during her tenure as Minister of Organization Department of Student Union.
According to Su Mingjuan:
"The conditions of children's classes are very poor, just like when I was in primary school. There is ventilation on all sides, only a broken roof. The children's families are also very poor. "
One of the children doesn't even have a pot at home. The mother and daughter live under the hut every day. When he left, Su Mingjuan and several classmates chipped in 1000 yuan to solve the urgent needs at home.
These situations left a deep impression on Su Mingjuan. She feels that she is where she is today because of donations from the state and society. Since "promising", we must pass on this love so that more people can get help.
You want to send me a peach, and I want to give it back to Qiong Yao.
Su Mingjuan, who entered the university, never forgot what her father said to her: "Girl, you should know how to repay kindness!"
While at school, she donated all the living expenses given to her by the school to Project Hope. In order to help more people, she insisted on work-study program, not only as a salesperson, but also as an intern in the human resources department and finance department of Motorola headquarters.
In 2006, after graduating from Su Mingjuan University, she entered the bank. Live the life of an ordinary office worker. Su Mingjuan is enthusiastic about public welfare and has a positive image. On 20 17, he was elected as the deputy secretary of Anhui Provincial Committee of the Communist Youth League.
She never forgets the "Hope Project" and the help from the society, and uses the new platform of the Communist Youth League to influence more young people to join public welfare undertakings.
When Su Mingjuan, who was only 34 years old, was elected as the deputy secretary of the Youth League Committee, many people questioned that she was already a "CPC cadre" at such a young age. But then there was a special rumor that she was only part-time. This position has no administrative rank and no remuneration, but it is more convenient for her to help poor students and do public welfare undertakings.
Now, the little girl in that photo is the mother of two children, but she hasn't given up helping others. She has always been enthusiastic about Project Hope.
Su Mingjuan once said:
"Reading is not easy. Everyone cherishes all opportunities to go to school. " "Without this photo and Project Hope, I might live a completely different life. Without Project Hope, I wouldn't have the opportunity to read so many books, let alone have this job now. "
There is no doubt that Su Mingjuan is lucky. Knowledge changes fate and strives to achieve life. On the other hand, on the Internet, "Kill the Fish Brothers" and "Little Ma Yun" have embarked on different life paths.
Aside from many reasons, whether the children of poor families can become talents depends on the family and individuals. Simply complaining about the unfairness of fate will not change anything.
Mr. Jiang Yang said: "Take the road of choice, don't choose the road of good choice, you can have your true self." Although it is difficult for poor families to produce expensive children, the children of poor families are not as educated as the rich. However, some Shan Xiaolong got into Tsinghua with 676 points.
He was the first to walk out of the examination room that year. Moreover, after he left the examination room, he went directly to the construction site to work, just to earn the cost of going to college, because he knew that his knowledge had changed his fate.
I told that friend that no matter how his parents disciplined his sister, from the beginning, her sister had no determination, let alone her initial heart. Nowadays, social information is complicated, and the probability of being tempted is only much higher. Only by keeping your original heart and determined to change this society will your life be a positive one.
