However, in this fast-paced society, many children say that they are very busy and can't spare time to see their parents. Actually, how can there be so many excuses? As long as you have parents in your heart, it's the hardest thing. Li Yong of Ningxian County, Gansu Province overcame difficulties and went to school behind his father's back, which touched all China people!
A poor life, unyielding faith
Li Yong was born in 1980 in a small mountain village in Ning County, Gansu Province. In this very backward village, the villagers have not received a good education, and they all believe that more children are more blessed. Almost every family has many babies. So is Li Yong's family. Li Yong is the fifth child of his parents. When he was born, his mother was 47 and his father was 52. Together with Li Yong's grandparents, nine people in the family all live by Li Yong's parents, and life is very difficult.
Gansu is seriously short of water and the harvest in the field is not good. The whole family often longs for a full meal. Even if they have food, they are basically potatoes, and they have never seen a piece of meat all year round.
There are unexpected events in the sky. Due to long-term work, Li Yong's father broke down from overwork. This year, Li Yong was only 6 years old. At that time, his eldest brother was married, and his eldest sister had married in other places. The second sister and the third sister are both studying at school and only come back once a week. The task of taking care of his father was handed over to young Li Yong. Every day, he will give his father a decoction, take care of the urine and never complain. Mother earns some extra money in the factory. Life is hard, but it's ok. Li Yong has always adhered to a belief that he must take good care of his family and not let his brothers and sisters worry.
In a blink of an eye, Li Yong, who took on the burden of starting a family early, was more mature and busy than ordinary children. Every morning, when he gets up, he needs to prepare food for the whole day. As soon as school was over, he hurried home to heat the meal. After feeding his father, he ran back to the classroom. He and his mother still have a few chickens at home, propping up this scattered home with tender shoulders.
Although life is hard, Li Yong studies very well and is often praised by his teachers. He is the first in every exam! He knows that only reading can change his present situation. He should study hard and become a doctor in the future to cure his father's illness!
He was admitted to the normal school with excellent results, and decided to go to school behind his father's back when he was changed.
1992, Li Yong graduated from primary school with the second place in the township and successfully entered junior high school. His talent in science gradually emerged. 1995 also participated in the national junior high school Olympic chemistry competition on behalf of the school and won the first prize! The good news came that Li Yong's village was boiling, and his son was born in an impoverished family. Li Yong also became the hope of the whole village.
After graduating from junior high school, Li Yong scored very well in the senior high school entrance examination. He originally wanted to apply for his favorite high school and become a doctor in the future. However, seeing the conditions at home, Li Yong flinched. If he continues to study in high school, his family can't afford so much money at all, but he is reluctant to give up such good grades to work. Li Yong had a fierce struggle in his heart. He is ambivalent and doesn't know what to do.
At this moment, the teacher of Qingyang Normal School found him and offered to let Li Yong apply for his own school. The course of this school is only three years. When I'm done, I can make money as a teacher right away. At that time, all the work was assigned by the state. Li Yong doesn't have to worry about finding a job at all. At the teacher's suggestion, Li Yong gave up his original dream and resolutely chose a normal school.
However, it rained all night, and just before Li Yong left for school, his mother died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage, leaving only Li Yong and his father. Li Yong also suffered a great blow, watching his father suddenly helpless. Relatives at home are also very difficult people, and Li Yong doesn't want to trouble others. On balance, he decided to go to school with his father behind his back!
1995, Li Yong pushed his father to report to Anyang. On the day of registration, Li Yong pushed his father out of place among a group of students, but ignored the surprised eyes around him. After signing up, he found a humble rental room near the school and settled down.
After learning the situation, the school teacher was full of respect for this student, not only exempting Li Yong from tuition fees, but also applying for scholarships and work-study programs for him. Li Yong and his father have always had a simple home in Qingyang. Life is still busy and difficult, but Li Yong has not been defeated. Recalling those days afterwards, even Li Yong himself lamented:? It's so hard that I forgot how I got here.
Carrying dad to school? Concern, the national people's praise for him.
After Li Yong's deeds were known by a certain media, the reporter interviewed him. Facing the camera, Li Yong's spirit of self-improvement and optimistic attitude towards life touched all the audience in front of the screen. Social caring people lend him a helping hand and donate money and materials everywhere. With everyone's help, Li Yong received a donation of nearly 60 thousand yuan. At that time, more than 60 thousand was already a huge sum!
Li Yong is very grateful. With this money, he can live a better life, but he is used to frugality and lives a simple life as always. After his father died, Li Yong donated all the remaining 50,000 yuan to Qingyang Normal School, hoping to help more poor students realize their dreams.
Li Yong's deeds were also made into a movie "Carrying Dad to School" 20 years ago. Shi Wa in the film highly restored Li Yong's life. With the popularity of this drama, Li Yong became a well-known dutiful son. His deeds touched people all over the country, and he received many letters. One of the doctors encouraged him to continue his studies and make greater contributions to society after gaining more knowledge.
Li Yong kept the contents of this letter firmly in mind. He put more energy into his study and studied knowledge harder. After graduating from Qingyang Normal University, Li Yong was sent to Northwest Normal University to study. Later, he entered China People's Congress with excellent results and obtained a doctorate.
After graduation, Li Yong chose to return to Northwest Normal School as a teacher. In his view, teaching is a sacred profession. He wants to use his knowledge to bring hope to more students. He often tells students that knowledge changes their destiny and encourages them to pursue their dreams at a higher level.
Twenty years have passed, and now he is radiant in his post and has become a beloved mentor and friend. The time when he went to school behind his father's back has also become a day that Li Yong will never forget. He really interpreted the morality of filial piety with his own actions and carried forward the tradition of the Chinese nation.
