Controversy Project
As I put pen to paper, my heart was filled with endless reverence and admiration. This is a tearful story, a story about how Ms. Zhang Guimei used love and persistence to hold up the sky of hope for the mountain girl.
Among the mountains of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, there is a place called Huaping, where the mountains are full of flowers, each of which seems to be a smile of nature. In this land, Ms. Zhang Guimei used her passion for life to light a bright light for those girls who are eager for knowledge.
In 2000, Zhang Guimei worked at the Yunnan Children's Home and witnessed the plight of children from poor families. She knows that for these children, education is the only way out of poverty. So, she made a vow: to let the girls in the mountains also have books to read, and have the opportunity to go out of the mountains and see the bigger world.
In order to fulfill this vow, Zhang Guimei ran around asking for help. She has been questioned and ignored, but she never gave up. In 2008, Huaping Girls' Senior High School was officially established, which is the only free girls' high school in the country, which provides educational opportunities for girls from poor families.
In fact, in the process of seeking support, Zhang Guimei encountered many difficulties. She wanted to establish a free high school for poor girls, which was not generally understood and supported in the social environment at that time, and many people were skeptical of her idea.
Raising funds is the key to starting a school, but Zhang Guimei's power as an individual is limited. She ran around seeking support from **, enterprises and all walks of life, but many times she was rejected, received cold reception and misunderstood.
Her husband didn't understand her decision and thought she was doing a thankless job. At the same time, she also has to deal with all kinds of doubts and criticisms from society, including some people who believe that she is hyping herself.
However, things are man-made, and where there is a will, there is a way! Zhang Guimei not only raised funds, but also personally led the female teachers and students of the school to overcome difficulties and ensure the normal operation of the school. She used her own actions to tell the students: as long as there are dreams and perseverance, nothing is impossible.
Today, there are 1,645 girls from Huaping Girls' High School, and many of them have become pillars of society after graduation. Behind all this, it is inseparable from Ms. Zhang Guimei's silent dedication and selfless dedication.
Zhang Guimei's health is deteriorating, and long-term overwork has caused her to suffer from a variety of diseases, but she still sticks to her post at school, encouraging every student with a smile and persistence. "Seeing them live better and happier than me, I am satisfied," she said. ”
Ten years of trees, 100 years of people! Zhang Guimei's story has spread throughout the mountainous area and touched countless people. She proved with her actions that even in the most difficult circumstances, as long as there is a dream and perseverance, it will be able to create miracles. She not only changed the fate of girls in mountainous areas, but also used her life to interpret what true education and dedication are.
Every spring in Huaping, the mountain flowers are still blooming. And in my heart, Ms. Zhang Guimei is the most beautiful one. She is like the laurel on the cliff and the plum in the snow, not afraid of hardship, not afraid of wind and snow, and blooming the most beautiful fragrance with her own life. Her story will always be remembered in people's hearts and become one of the most beautiful landscapes.
