Among the people who moved China in 2004 broadcast by CCTV 1, I once again saw the familiar name: Xu Benyu. I first met him in a post in Tianya Map Area: "Two rural primary schools, one teacher". At that time, there were hundreds of thousands of clicks and thousands of replies-that post is difficult to open now, and it is full of shocking pictures, which made me burst into tears on the spot. One by one, under the pictures and descriptions of an ordinary netizen, it brought unspeakable visual shock. As someone said, "Xu Benyu lit the torch and stung our eyes".
I don't need to say more about his deeds. Seeing him crying on the stage, I really understood that he was really under too much pressure. 1 22-year-old boys gave up graduate school and volunteered to teach a group of ignorant and knowledge-hungry children in a poor village without anyone around to talk to them. From the initial incomprehension of people around him to the numerous concerns and honors today, what remains unchanged is his loneliness. I have always believed that in such an era when it is extremely difficult to adhere to moral integrity, selfless dedication is undoubtedly a deliberately shaped myth. It wasn't until I saw Xu Benyu that I realized that ugliness doesn't mean that it's not noble. Xu Benyu is a hero. He raised tens of thousands of pounds of donations for children to build new classrooms, and the ordinary people behind these donations also expressed their attitudes with practical actions.
Adam Smith, the originator of economics, pointed out long ago that everyone's pursuit of his own interests is to promote the overall welfare of society (without harming the legitimate interests of others). In that absurd era, after the myth of "benefiting others and benefiting themselves" was shattered, some people went to the other extreme and became unprincipled, selfish and selfish at the expense of others. The significance of publicizing Xu Benyu's deeds is not to ask all of us to do so, but to remind us to keep a soft heart.
If tears are a kind of wealth, Xu Benyu is a rich man. In the past year, he made us cry. He walked from the bustling city into the depths of the mountains, shouldered the fallen classroom, shouldered poverty and loneliness, and shouldered responsibilities that did not belong to him. Perhaps a person's strength can't make a child's eyes full of sunshine, love and expectation. Xu Benyu lit the torch and stung our eyes. "
I was moved by heroism, heroism, persistence and affection ... Before I met a young man named Xu Benyu, I never thought I would be moved by ordinary people.
Such a simple and honest peasant child, such a simple college student, such a shining heart. Just because "others helped me, so I also want to help others"; Just because the children on the other side of the mountain are eager for knowledge; Just because of the promise in the sun; Xu Benyu made the most incomprehensible and shocking decision in his life, which aroused true love on earth.
I admire Xu Benyu because he once made a life choice and paid the price for it. No matter what choices he makes in his future life journey, the choices he made two years ago are worthy of his life's pride. Choice is often a matter of an instant, but in order to persist, it takes great courage and perseverance. When we are anxious to find a decent big company after graduation, when we spend a lot of money to go abroad for further study, and when we rack our brains for the annual civil service exam, Xu Benyu's choice is to give up the postgraduate study opportunities he has already obtained, listen to his inner call, and return to the hinterland to complete his unfinished primary school education. What he said at the report meeting, "I am very lonely, very lonely, and my heart is very painful. I woke up several times in the middle of the night and my pillow was wet with tears. I can't hold on any longer ... "This is not rhetoric, but a true portrayal of his heart. Two years is not a long time, but as a volunteer outside the system, his contribution has nothing to do with the weight of his future success, only with his initial choice.
Some people say that Xu Benyu is a spiritual symbol. His stubborn point is that in today's troubled and impetuous social encyclopedia, the bell of pure love that almost lost its voice in people's hearts has rung, alerting the whole world. I said Xu Benyu was a mirror, and he stood in front of me and showed me his ugliness. Ask yourself, I don't have the courage to make that choice. Perhaps, I have the courage to give my seat to the old man on the bus; Perhaps, I have the courage to participate in the "Sunshine Action" and sell newspapers on the road as a volunteer; Perhaps, I have the courage to give some help to those who need it at a place I am familiar with and at a time I think appropriate. ...
Then, as a college student like him, as a student like him, party member, what can I do to make my heart more stable?
Only study harder, only work harder, only care more about people and things around you. I suddenly feel useless. "Some people say that how can a faint candlelight illuminate a deep alley? Some people raise their children's hands to the front without saying anything. " . Perhaps, we should be a faint candlelight, holding the child's hand without saying a word. However, to keep the candle burning for a long time and keep your hands strong, you still have to study and work hard now, don't you? We are moved by Xu Benyu's extraordinary feats, and we should always remind ourselves not to become blind followers because of the sudden passion. "All greatness lies in the ordinary", and any ordinary post can shine brilliantly as long as it has a golden heart.
"I am me, fireworks of different colors; The sky is vast and we must be the strongest bubble. "
Xu Benyu said: "When you are lonely, think more about how great your work is, be strong and cheer yourself up!" ! In fact, each of us sometimes feels lonely, whether you are in a big city, a small town or a rural area. This is because we are human beings and have individual thoughts and understandings, but if you improve your level and divide loneliness, loneliness and pain into the driving forces of actual work, study and life, I think your mood will be better! "
What we really want to learn from Xu Benyu is not the teaching itself, but his quality of "thinking about change if you are poor and constantly striving for self-improvement"; "Study hard and be determined to succeed" is his belief; It is his spirit of "repaying the society and taking responsibility bravely".
"Why are my eyes full of tears? Because I love this land deeply.
