Since ancient times, the Spring Festival has always been the most solemn traditional festival of the Chinese nation, and it is also the grandest festival of the year. When the Spring Festival comes, the tribulations of the past year will drift away with the sound of firecrackers, and the new year will unfold with laughter. As the sons and daughters of China, every Spring Festival, no matter how busy you are, you must find time to go home to reunite with your family and spend the festive season together. Therefore, during the Spring Festival, people from all over the country will carry their bags and embark on the way home, which also forms the most important festival activity of the Spring Festival.
The Chinese Spring Festival is a unique phenomenon because the Chinese attach great importance to family. Whenever the Spring Festival comes, the Chinese children who are far away from their hometowns will put down their work and hurry back to their hometowns with their luggage, just to reunite with their families. In this noisy and lively Spring Festival, we have witnessed many touching moments, such as "Spring Festival Mother" is one of them. After more than ten years, how is the "Spring Festival Mother" that netizens have been concerned about?
Spring Festival Mother" moved countless netizens.
On the eve of the Spring Festival in 2010, a ** about the Spring Festival once touched countless Chinese people. **The last young mother carried a package almost the height of her body on her shoulder, a large backpack in one hand, and a young baby in the other. The huge package on her shoulders weighed down on her shoulders, and she could only bend up like an old man. However, her gaze was gentle and firm, one hand kept soothing the baby in her arms, and her steps were rapid and steady. This ** made many people cry back then. Although everyone has their own difficulties, people are deeply moved to see this thin but strong mother. Many people left messages on the Internet, calling this strong mother "Spring Festival Mom".
This ** was taken by a reporter named Zhou Ke. At that time, he had just started working, and his grasp of news events was not sharp enough, so many of the ** he filmed did not have much repercussions. In the Spring Festival of 2010, he wanted to grasp the topic of Spring Festival transportation and shoot some migrant workers going home. When he came to the train station, he looked at the people hurrying with large bags and small bags, and his heart was full of emotion.
As he prepares to capture some high-profile news scenes, a skinny woman with a heavy bag walks into his shot.
The woman is captured by the camera as a young mother, her slender frame contrasting sharply with the massive package on her back. After zooming in, Zhou Ke found that she was holding a baby in her arms. Probably to catch the train, the mother bent over, kept soothing the child with her hands, her face was slightly red, and she hurried to the entrance of the train station. The heavy package she was carrying weighed at least a few dozen pounds, and she was carrying a handbag in her hand, which she could only lift with one hand because of the care of the child in her arms.
After careful observation, Zhou Ke found that her fingers were white from the backpack, and there were slight beads of sweat on her forehead. Despite being very tired, she still has a determined gaze and a strong gait. This scene deeply shocked Zhou Ke, he knew the hard work before, but he never thought that it would be so hard, the mother didn't look very old, not tall, to carry such a heavy package even a man would be laborious, but she could bear it strongly, and she had to hold the child.
Zhou Ke immediately pressed the camera shutter to capture this touching picture, and then he released this **, which did not expect to arouse a strong resonance among the majority of netizens. They praised this resolute mother and sighed for those Spring Festival travelers who returned to their hometowns. Zhou Ke won the China Press Photography Gold Award and the 21st News Award for this photo, which has also become the proudest masterpiece of his photography career.
After 11 years of unremitting efforts, I finally found the protagonist "Spring Festival Mother" in **.
This ** has brought countless honors to Zhou Ke, but he has never been able to forget the mother in **, and the picture of her shouldering her bags and holding her child often comes to his mind. He longed to know what her purpose was, what her life was like now, and whether the child was male or female, and what she looked like. But when he left in a hurry, he couldn't get her home address and *** As a reporter, Zhou Ke traveled to many mountainous areas, and everywhere he went, he would pay attention to find the traces of that mother.
After 12 years of unremitting efforts by Zhou Kelong, he finally found the information of the mother - it turned out that her name was Bamu Yubumu and she was a resident of Yuexi County, Daliang Mountain. He immediately contacted the local village cadres and went to Bamuyu's village in person. When he saw Bamuyu again, he found that although 12 years had passed, she was still the same as she had been - simply combing her hair back her head. The only difference is that this time she is smiling and her eyes are bright, which is completely different from the hurried look back then.
During the conversation with Ba Muyu, Zhou Ke learned a sad news: the child Ba Muyu was pregnant with died of illness. With a sad look on her face, she said that because of her family's poverty, she and her husband discussed going out to work to increase the family's income. They entrusted their eldest daughter to the care of the elderly, and then took the younger daughter to work in the factory. When she went to work during the day, she left her youngest daughter in the dormitory, and over time, the child was not properly cared for and became ill.
For the sake of their children's **, they spent months of savings. In the end, it was decided that she should take her children back to her hometown for medical treatment, while her husband stayed in place to work. This is the meaning conveyed by the classic "Spring Festival Mother". Although the cost of medical care in his hometown was low, the level of medical care was limited, which led to the child's condition becoming more and more serious, and eventually he could not be saved, and unfortunately died.
Get rid of the haze and rely on hard work to achieve wealth.
The child's death caused a great blow to Ba Muyu, and during that time she often felt like crying, and her spirit became trance-like. When the husband learned of the situation, he resolutely quit his job in the city and returned to accompany his wife through the difficulties. Under the care of his family, Bamuyu gradually walked out of the shadow of losing his beloved son. At the same time, the country's poverty alleviation policy has also entered Daliangshan. Today, the couple lives on tobacco cultivation, and their annual income has gradually increased, and they even built a new house this year.
Bamuyu said that her dream has always been to live in a house without leaks, and now that wish has finally come true. Now she and her husband only want to cultivate the land well, provide a good education for their children, and give them the opportunity to get out of the mountains. When Zhou Ke took out the prize money for winning ** that year to Ba Muyu, she resolutely refused, saying that she didn't do anything worthy of winning the award, so she couldn't accept the money. At this time, the kind and simple Ba Muyu had the same gentle and firm expression as in the ** back then.
To sum it up: there will be many encounters in a person's life, some may just pass by in a hurry, while others will leave an intersection in each other's lives, and then each will run in a different direction. Migrant workers like Ba Muyu are not uncommon in China, and only they know that they give up their families and careers to make a living in the big cities in order to make a living. If you're still complaining about hard work, strict leadership, or unfair life, then ......
Then go to the train station to feel it and experience for yourself the spirit of the migrant workers who still work hard under difficult conditions. To feel the difficulty of leaving your hometown to work in an unfamiliar city for a better life. In fact, whether it is achievements or difficulties in life, they are all gifts given to us by fate. If you want to change your life, complaining will never end well, and if you work hard, success may not be far away. Turn the page in 2023
