Everyone has a life, and a person's life is bound to be full of twists and turns. What fate gives us may be hearty, or it may be painful.
But no matter what, we can't negotiate terms with fate, because all this has been arranged in the dark. When everything that is not satisfactory does not give us what we want, we must be optimistic and try to get everything we want from fate.
The protagonist of the story we are going to talk about today has ups and downs in life but has never bowed and succumbed to fate, he is one of the top ten people who moved China in 2005 - Hong Zhanhui.
Hong Zhanhui was born in 1982 in an ordinary rural family in Xihua County, Zhoukou City, Henan Province.
My father loves to drink, and every time he drinks, he is like a different person, always speaking ill of him and his mother, and even directly beating them.
As Hong Zhanhui grew up, he gradually understood a lot of truths. Although his father seemed to be a different person after drinking, his father's words and deeds were too abnormal, and Hong Zhanhui gradually realized that his father might have a mental problem.
Sure enough, his father was diagnosed with intermittent psychosis, which made Hong Zhanhui's family, who were originally poor, even worse.
When Hong Zhanhui was 12 years old, his father suddenly had intermittent psychosis at noon one day, threw things everywhere in the house, and punched and kicked his wife.
The mother hurriedly ran away from home to seek help from others, but when she came back to stop her father's behavior, Hong Zhanhui's younger sister, who had just turned one year old and was still in infancy, had been thrown to death by her father in the room, leaving them forever.
The grief-stricken mother and Hong Zhanhui spent all their family savings and borrowed money from everywhere to treat their father's illness. But his father's illness has not been cured, and the originally poor family still owes a lot of debts ......
When the father sobered up, he blamed himself for his actions and fell into the pain of losing his daughter. The originally happy family is no longer complete, and my father lives in a mess all day long.
One day at noon, his mother cooked a meal, Hong Zhanhui called his father to eat but no one answered, and they hurriedly went out to look for it when they found that their father was not at home. Eventually, he found his father under a tree five kilometers from the village, still holding the chubby little girl in his hands.
After inquiring about the situation, Hong Zhanhui and his mother learned that it was a discarded baby girl. The father looked at the little girl in his arms, and the full love in his eyes seemed to overflow, which made Hong Zhanhui suddenly think of his sister who had left this world.
So the family decided to adopt this cute little girl, and in this way the little girl came to this new family, and had a new name called Hong Qianqian.
The family's conditions were already very poor, and the family's life was so-so, because he had spent all his family's savings for his father's illness, and he was still in debt.
The arrival of the new member has put more pressure on the already difficult family, and Hong is still a small baby, who needs to drink milk and buy a lot of baby products, and the family's expenses become bigger and bigger with the arrival of the little girl.
My father's illness has not been cured, and sometimes he still has attacks after drinking.
The mother looked at the little girl who was waiting to be fed, at the husband who punched and kicked her as soon as she became ill, and at this home full of stress and painful memories, she finally couldn't bear it anymore and chose to run away from home.
Hong Zhanhui deeply understands that his current family life cannot be without his mother's care, and he is struggling to find his mother's whereabouts, but in the end there is no result.
Life is like this, everything is wrong overnight. All the pressure on the family fell on Hong Zhanhui, who was still an adult, and he had to take care of his very young siblings on the one hand, and his sick father on the other, and he himself had his own studies to complete ......
It is said that "the children of poor families are in charge of the house early", and Hong Zhanhui is a model.
At a young age, he carried a very heavy burden and lived a childhood life that was very different from that of his peers.
In the face of all kinds of difficulties and challenges, Hong Zhanhui fearlessly rose to the occasion and supported his father and younger siblings with his immature hands.
This year, he was busy with his studies while attending junior high school, and at the same time taking care of his father and younger siblings.
Even if he had to be distracted to do many other things, Hong Zhanhui was still able to maintain excellent results. In order to make up the tuition fees for high school and subsidize the family, he immediately went out to work to make money during the summer vacation.
He begged someone to take care of his family, and after two months of hard work, Hong Zhanhui stepped into the door of high school with only 700 yuan in his hand.
He inquired around and learned that there was a low-rent house near the school that could be rented to students, and he was worried that his father's illness would hurt his sister, so he rented a small room to take his sister to him.
In order to earn living expenses, Hong Zhanhui began to sell all kinds of stationery and books at school, relying on this meager income, he worked hard to take care of the family.
thought that life would gradually become dull, but the suffering that Hong Zhanhui had to suffer was like a turbulent wave in the sea, always rising again and again.
In 2002, his father fell ill again, and Hong Zhanhui sent his father to the hospital**, because he could not afford to pay the expensive medical expenses and hospitalization fees, Hong Zhanhui could only take his father, who should have been hospitalized, home for recuperation.
In order to be able to treat his father's illness, he studied hard and worked hard to earn money to earn medical bills, and he sacrificed all his rest time.
During this period, Hong Zhanhui fainted due to overwork, up to 16 times. At this time, his younger brother, who was in his first year of junior high school, couldn't bear to see his brother working so hard, so he resolutely decided to drop out of school and go out to work to make money to share the pressure on his brother.
As the saying goes, "God will open a window for you when it closes a door for you", it may be that God also has mercy on this child with such a tragic fate.
When Hong Zhanhui felt that life was full of gloom, a hospital he once turned to expressed his willingness to serve his father for free**, which suddenly made Hong Zhanhui, who was confused and overwhelmed, rekindle hope for life.
After his father accepted **, Hong Zhanhui stayed by his father's side day and night, and gradually his father's condition became better and better.
In the three years of high school, Hong Zhanhui was pulled down many times on the way to pursue his studies because of helplessness in life.
The three years of high school are undoubtedly the most important time for millions of students.
In the past three years, Hong Zhanhui was unable to devote himself to his studies, and he sold books and stationery to earn money, while taking care of the lives of his younger siblings, and at the same time taking care of his sick father.
As a result, Hong Zhanhui was unable to complete the heavy study tasks at all, his high school life was different from the three years of others, it took him five years to complete his studies and take the college entrance examination, and he was admitted to Huaihua College after the college entrance examination.
The summer vacation after the college entrance examination should be a rare opportunity for most graduates to relax after decades of hard study, but Hong Zhanhui's summer vacation did not eat, drink and have fun, in order to make up the tuition fees of the university, he worked hard every day to ......
In order to give his father and sister a better life, Hong Zhanhui, who entered the university, still did various jobs while studying to earn money and send them home.
In college, he deeply felt the warmth from the people around him. After learning about his situation, his classmates did not isolate him because he was poor, but enthusiastically extended a helping hand and actively helped him in life and study.
During the school holidays, Hong Zhanhui would go home to visit his father and sister, seeing that his sister should be at school age but had to take care of his father at home, Hong Zhanhui felt that this delayed his sister's good future, and he resolutely decided to take his sister to college together. Relying on his own step-by-step efforts, he finally completed his studies with his sister.
Life gradually improved, and the long-lost mother finally returned to the family. Now Hong Zhanhui has returned to his hometown to establish a secondary vocational school, as the principal of his deep gratitude to those who have helped him in his difficult time, the establishment of this middle school is to repay their kindness, but also so that more children can have the opportunity to go to school.
Hong Zhanhui's deeds have been praised by people from all walks of life, and his deeds have touched thousands of Chinese people. In 2006, Hong Zhanhui was named one of the top ten moving Chinese figures. “
When he was a child, he took responsibility for another, weaker child, to support a family in distress, to learn to be kind, brave and strong.
Life allowed him to start harvesting too early, and he changed from a boy to a man who could not be defeated by hardship, studying in poverty and self-improvement in hardship.
Today, he is still weak, but mentally he has always been strong. This is the award speech given to him by the host on the stage, and Hong Zhanhui's spirit has been praised by thousands of people. For his father, who was seriously ill, Hong Zhanhui expressed the meaning of the word "filial piety" to the extreme.
And for this sister who is not related by blood at all, he perfectly explains the true meaning of warmth and love with his own practical actions.
Ostrovsky, the author of the inspirational book "How Steel is Made", like Hong Zhanhui, is also a person with a rough fate and countless painful tribulations.
However, he is also facing life positively and working hard for the revolutionary cause. Their experiences tell us that life will not always be smooth sailing, and ups and downs are the norm in the development of stories.
But we can't fall and give up, live actively, and stick to it in order to see a better scenery ahead.
