Xuan Liyan is an undergraduate of Grade 20 12 in School of Pharmacy, Tianjin University. In 2007, Xuan Liyan's father was diagnosed with uremia, hospitalized for two years and operated more than ten times. The family not only spent all their savings, but also owed more than 300 thousand debts, but these failed to save their father's life. Xuan Liyan was just 16 years old that year.
Although she is still in high school and nervous about her studies, Xuan Liyan began to work part-time. "On weekends, she works as a tutor during the day and works as a temporary cashier and promoter in supermarkets and shopping malls at night." Such days continued until she took the college entrance examination.
After the college entrance examination, Xuan Liyan began to look for a job again when the students were busy traveling and relaxing. It was said that Shenzhen was easy to find a job, so she set off at once. "I didn't dare to tell my mother the truth at that time. I just said that I would go to my classmate's house for a few days."
After arriving in Shenzhen, she quickly found a job as an assembly line worker in an LED lamp manufacturer. "I'm in charge of the inspection program. Go to work at 8 o'clock every day, get off work at 6 o'clock in the evening, sometimes squat and sometimes squat on the ground, and use a flashlight to check whether the LED lights are qualified. " Xuan Liyan said that the work is very simple, but after squatting for a long time, even standing up feels hard. Fortunately, half a month later, a manager came to inspect the production line and learned that Xuan Liyan was a prospective college student and her English was good, so she was transferred to be an assistant to be responsible for English writing of business letters. In this way, in two months, Xuan Liyan earned the tuition fee for the first year of college.
After entering the university, Xuan Liyan still works part-time on weekends: she works as a tutor with two jobs in the morning, promotes sales and distributes leaflets in the mall in the afternoon, and sometimes works as a temporary cashier in the supermarket at night ... For more than two years, she earned nearly 40,000 yuan by working, which not only paid all her tuition and living expenses, but also subsidized her family.
Not only that, but also her academic performance is very good. She not only ranked first in her major for three consecutive semesters, but also minored in English and won a national scholarship. Up to now, she has received bonus and subsidy 17000 yuan.
Speaking of rest, Xuan Liyan said with a smile that the "work" of the community, the Chinese and English commentators of the school history museum, and participating in the debate competition are the best leisure in her opinion.
