On a sunny day, a little soil baby from the countryside, carrying a worn-out schoolbag and wearing patched clothes, took the car of the "Metamorphosis" program team and came to bustling Chengdu.
For the first time, he saw many things that he had never seen before, and it also strengthened his determination to study hard. A few years later, he was admitted to Hunan Normal University from a small village in Qinghai Province with the first grade in science, and during his college years, he also became a national defense student.
Gao Zhanxi, the most sober rural child in "Metamorphosis", was destined to have a difficult life by his birth. He comes from a small, impoverished village in Minhe County, Qinghai Province, where transportation is cut off and he makes a living from farming.
However, due to their location on the plateau, it is not easy for crops to grow, and his parents' poor health makes them arguably the poorest family in the village. The family's house is barely sheltered from the rain, and the granary is so dilapidated that even rats don't want to live in it.
Despite the family's poverty, his parents insisted on having children, hoping to change the family's situation.
Although the aspirations are contrary to reality, the family is becoming more and more difficult every year, and the life of poverty seems to have an end in sight. It was at this time that Gao Zhanxi was born.
From the time he was born, fate did not seem to have been kind to this poor child. The long hours in the fields caused his father's health to deteriorate, and later he was plagued by illness.
As the family had no money for medical treatment, his condition gradually deteriorated, and eventually his father became blind in both eyes, and his blind father almost lost his ability to work. The situation became even more difficult when the breadwinner of the family fell.
Gao Zhanxi's family's life is in trouble, and his mother has to take on heavy farm work due to the pressure of life, but life has not forgiven her, but has become more cruel.
In order to support the family, Gao Zhanxi's brother had to leave his hometown and work outside. Although he has no academic qualifications and does not have much ability, he is frugal and can only send back 2,000 yuan a year.
For some, 2,000 yuan may be just a pair of shoes or a meal, but for Gao Zhanxi's family, it is their living expenses for a year. Despite this, these thousands of dollars can barely make ends meet for them.
The predicament of Gao Zhanxi's family is sad, and I hope they can get out of it as soon as possible.
In the future, you must try the white flour wowo wo and have some meat. Gao Zhanxi, who was wearing plateau red, and his younger brother said with a smile. Gao Zhanxi, who grew up in such a poor family, loves to read, but the family is so poor that it is difficult to even afford the living expenses of the children.
Although Gao Zhanxi's father was sad, he still agreed to let him go to high school. However, after that, his father thought that studying was useless, so he still let his brother go out to work, at least to earn some money to support the family.
The sensible Gao Zhanxi nodded silently, he understood that all the savings that the family could take out could only allow him to finish high school. He had thought about working like his older brother to support his family and his younger brothers.
However, a twist of fate is coming, and a life-changing car is about to drive into their village. "Metamorphosis" is a youth inspirational program that focuses on the education and growth of contemporary Chinese teenagers, with the perspective of care and reflection, through role reversal, allowing the audience to see the growth and changes of teenagers in the face of life challenges.
Looking for the Other Side of the City" is a program that aims to let rich children understand that life is not easy and rural children can get in touch with big cities by comparing urban and rural life.
Our goal is for participants to experience life-changing experiences and see the world from a new perspective, which inspires them to pursue and change for the future. We understand that it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, and from luxury to frugality, but we believe that this experience will be rewarding for the participants, thus paving new possibilities for their life path.
Gao Zhanxi is a special being, he is a child of the countryside, but he is not bound by poverty. He stands out among a group of children who have lost themselves because of the prosperity of the city and are reluctant to go back to the countryside.
The program team of "Metamorphosis" took a fancy to his family's poverty and offered to swap him with a city child for a month. Although his parents had little knowledge, they supported their children to go out and see the world.
Gao Zhanxi packed up his little baggage, wore his best clothes - a dusty and dirty school uniform, and got into the car of the program team with great expectations.
This was Gao Zhanxi's first time on an airplane, and the huge fuselage and narrow windows made him feel both novel and a little dizzy. As the car started, he hugged his schoolbag tightly, watched the scenery outside the window change from slow to fast, and realized for the first time that he was about to leave the mountain village where he had lived for more than ten years and fly towards the bustling city.
Despite his excitement, he was still a little scared that he would dirty the seat of the plane. Although he has left the mountain, Gao Zhanxi still can't forget that familiar place, and his heart is full of anticipation for the future and longing for his hometown.
Leaving the familiar land, the completely unfamiliar scene unfolding in front of him filled Gao Zhanxi's heart with trepidation. The airport is located just outside the city and has a trendy design, but he still feels a difference from his hometown.
Walking out of the airport, a fair-skinned, well-dressed couple appeared in front of him, which was very different from the image of husband and wife in his heart. They didn't have the loess and patches he was familiar with, nor the rough yellow** and shabby clothes he imagined.
These are his parents in the city. Gao Zhanxi looked at the fairy-looking parents in bewilderment, dressed in the best clothes he could find—a shabby school uniform—standing in the glossy crowd like an ugly duckling who had strayed into a banquet hall.
The people around him were all dressed in suits and leather shoes, and they were dressed appropriately, only him, who looked gray, as if the gray that could not be erased from a bright picture.
Gao Zhanxi felt inferior for the first time when he saw the speeding cars, towering buildings and colorful neon lights. The "city parents" welcomed him to their new home and put him on brand new shoes, clothes and toiletries.
They also took him to get his hair cut and taste a variety of delicacies, including some he had never heard of.
Changing clothes, bathing, eating, the whole day passed quietly. On the first day of washing at home, Gao Zhanxi gently wiped his cheeks with the soft towel in his hand, and the rough grit feeling had disappeared and was replaced by a cotton-like soft feeling.
The water is no longer dirty and cold, but clear and warm, and with the flip of the switch, the water that was once cherished and reluctant to use pours out. Lying on the bed, there is no longer the smell of my parents' feet, no more squeezing of my younger brothers and sisters, and no uncomfortable hard bed boards, only Simmons mattresses that are so soft that they seem to be sinking.
Gao Zhanxi was lying on the bed, feeling the softness and warmth of the mattress, he really hoped that his biological parents were lying next to him, which was his real home. In this place full of warmth, he can enjoy comfortable mattresses, delicious food, and crystal clear water.
The night always stimulates people's imagination, Gao Zhanxi lies in bed, all kinds of things come to mind, and then in the warm quilt, he falls asleep peacefully. The next morning, he found a color TV in his "home", which was the first time he had seen a color TV, which he had not even had at home before.
The charm of color TV is really irresistible,The picture is clear and realistic,It seems to make people feel like they are there。 Gao Zhanxi's "younger brothers and sisters" taught him to play games, from simple and easy to difficult, Gao Zhanxi had never played such an interesting game, as if he had discovered a new world.
No longer living a hard life, he ate white flour steamed buns, meat, and many delicacies that he had never tasted. There are even "city parents" who gave him pocket money, he has never had so much money in his hands, it can be said that his pocket money for a day is more than his family's food expenses for half a year.
Gao Zhanxi comes from the countryside, he left the familiar mountains and forests to come to the bustling city, but he was attracted by the prosperity of the city. However, as he indulged in shopping, watching TV, and playing games, he suddenly realized that he couldn't forget the farmland and loved ones in his hometown.
So, he calmly found the program team and firmly proposed to go home to farm. This surprised everyone, because they had never seen such a child, a rural child, who dared to challenge the ** of the city and return to his hometown.
Gao Zhanxi calmly explained that he was going back to his wheat field, which was his home. The program team asked curiously, aren't you afraid of hard farm work? Gao Zhanxi said without hesitation: "I have grown up in the fields since I was a child, and I am used to it. ”
Looking at Gao Zhanxi's honest plateau red, the program team was deeply surprised, they thought that all rural children would yearn for the prosperity of the city, but this little boy from Qinghai made them re-understand what perseverance and responsibility are.
The program team asked this unusual little boy if he had any wishes.
Gao Zhanxi has a thirst for knowledge and dreams of going to university, but the reality makes him have to face his family's poverty and cannot continue his studies. His tenacity and perseverance touched the "city parents", who decided to sponsor Gao Zhanxi to complete his studies.
When Gao Zhanxi returned to the countryside and returned to the familiar fields, he did not hesitate to take off his sneakers, put on mud-stained cloth shoes, and began to help his parents with farming. His skillful posture and natural state make it seem as if he has never left the land.
Gao Zhanxi, who came out of the mountains and saw the prosperity of the city, knew that only by studying hard could he have a broader future. The high-rise buildings, colorful billboards, delicious and fun that he could only see in his dreams can only be realized again through learning.
He no longer worries about tuition fees, because he understands that only through his own efforts can he get out of the mountains and realize his dreams.
His task is to focus on his studies as a way to repay his "city parents". After Gao Zhanxi got a rare opportunity to learn, he studied hard and forgot to sleep and eat.
He has always loved learning, and now he is even more powerful. His father, who had been against his studies, now supports him to go to school. With his hard work and the support of everyone, he entered middle and high school.
In the end, he was admitted to Hunan Normal University with the first score in science in Qinghai in the college entrance examination. The moment he received his acceptance letter, he was thrilled and excited.
Gao Zhanxi of Hunan Normal University, who became a national defense student, straightened his back and proudly repaid his parents and sponsors. Putting on the uniform of the armed police, he got rid of the fate of poverty and truly mastered the direction of his life.
After several battles, he has become an excellent platoon commander. Under the sun, Gao Zhanxi stared at the skyscrapers around him, and there was no more confusion in his heart, because he firmly believed that his fate had been freed from the shackles of poverty, and from now on, his fate would be at the helm of his own affairs.
He was deeply grateful to Gao Zhanxi, who stayed sober in the bustling city and made today's heroic platoon commander.
