In the autumn of 2000, when Zhang was admitted to Changchun Taxation College, there was a 90-year-old grandmother at home besides him and his mother. His mother Zhang Guimei works in a township animal husbandry station, and her monthly salary is only 200 yuan.
Relying on the monthly living expenses of 65,438,000 yuan saved by her mother, Zhang persisted until the winter vacation. When he got home, his mother was ill in bed. Only then did he know that his mother had a car accident a few months ago and was severely brain-damaged.
Near the Spring Festival, there is no money at home, so all I can eat is a cabbage.
After the winter vacation began, Zhang wanted to take a leave of school to take care of his mother, but his mother forced him to go back to school again and make money by working in his spare time. However, due to the low income of this part-time job, he had to apply to the college for suspension from school in July 20001year to work to earn money to treat his mother.
Zhang is willing to do anything to earn money to support his family. In Zhengzhou, he washes dishes and sells vegetables in restaurants; In Xuchang, he worked as an accountant in a coal mine; He worked as a porter in Shijiazhuang and Tangshan.
Once, he worked as a porter in Shijiazhuang, and he didn't keep his job or eat for a day. Until midnight, a boss finally called Sarah, and he worked excitedly with several migrant workers until dawn. At the end of the checkout, the boss thought he was too thin and gave him 10 yuan.
That day, he was so happy that he went to the restaurant for the first time and bought a bowl of hot noodles.
The school learned of Zhang's family misfortune and the work he had done to save his mother, and made an exception to allow him to teach himself outside the school, and then went to the school to take the exam and complete his college studies. Zhang spends his spare time reading and studying, and then goes back to school at the end of each semester 1 month to concentrate on listening and reviewing.
Under such circumstances, among more than 40 students in the class, Zhang was the first to pass the computer grade examination, and the first batch passed CET-4 and CET-6. In the first six semesters, he won scholarships for five semesters.
However, fate came one after another. In 2003, Zhang's grandmother passed away. This winter, my mother fell down again, and her condition became more serious, so she could not take care of herself. Zhang Yiran decided to take his mother to work and study together.
In Changchun, Zhang rented a cabin of 89 square meters and lived with his mother. Zhang gets up at 5 o'clock every morning to study and goes to work at 7: 30. After work in the evening, I go home to take care of my mother to sleep, and then I read and study by myself.
At the end of 2004, Zhang, who had not graduated, took part in the recruitment of civil servants in Henan tax system. Among thousands of candidates, he won the first place in the written test of tax inspection post.
Every time we finish reading the story of a dutiful son, we can't help crying. Filial piety is a kind of love without adulteration, a strong sense of responsibility, and the simplest human truth and gratitude. Because, we have no reason not to repay our parents who gave birth to us and raised us.
