"My daughter was fortunate enough to be admitted to the University of California, and her high school life in the United States in the past three years has cost me 1.1 million savings. Now I can't afford her college tuition, and the annual cost of 500,000 yuan is a huge challenge for me.
I asked for the help of the well-wishers, and as long as I could make up for the tuition, her future would be very promising. If we can't raise enough money this time, my daughter's dreams and future may be shattered because of this. "
Hunan mother Zheng Manwen had no choice but to ask for help because her daughter was going to the United States to study at the world's top university, the University of California, San Diego, hoping to raise her daughter's tuition for four years of college.
She has spent 1.1 million to study abroad for her daughter and was forced to divorce her second husband. Now as a single mother, she has a difficult life, and she can only endure the pain of selling her house, car, and bag for her daughter to go to school.
What is the future of Xiaojie? Is there anyone who can lend a helping hand and help Cheng Manwen's daughter achieve her college dreams?
Zheng Manwen and Wang Jiangang decided to send their daughter to study abroad in order to give her a better educational environment. Although this means that they have to give up their affluent life, they are willing to give everything for their daughter's future.
At that time, they were young and not very familiar with daily life, but they were willing to make changes for the sake of their daughter's future.
After having children, the stress of life seems to become unbearable, especially after an argument that makes a decisive decision to divorce. Considering that the child is still young, the final judgment is that the mother is responsible for raising it.
Zheng Manwen regained her single life, and met her second husband Xiaoqian by chance. Completely different from her ex-husband Wang Jiangang, Xiaoqian is not only considerate, but also financially strong, he has been running a business on the Sino-Vietnamese border for many years and has rich assets.
After remarrying Xiaoqian, Zheng Manwen began her carefree life as a wealthy wife.
Her daily routine consisted of all kinds of designer bags and jewelry, and she said that at that time, any pair of pants cost a thousand yuan.
In order to maintain this state of life, Zheng Manwen decided to leave her daughter in the care of her own parents, fearing that it would anger her in-laws and return to her previous life difficulties.
Until her daughter Xiaojie grew up and reached the age of high school, Zheng Manwen felt deeply indebted to her child, so she decided to take her to live with her.
When her daughter Xiaojie said that she wanted to go to school abroad, Zheng Manwen's life suddenly became complicated. After all, her daughter has never been around, and her care and companionship for her children has always been limited.
And this time, the child finally made her own request, how could she bear to refuse? In order to understand the family's opinion, Zheng Manwen began to discuss with her husband's family, but fortunately, they did not have any objection to the proposal to send their children to school abroad.
After obtaining permission, Zheng Manwen looked for a high school and language school abroad for her daughter. However, when all the schools were found, her husband suddenly changed his mind and said that foreign schools are very expensive, there is no need for his daughter to go to such an expensive school, and he will not provide for her to go to school.
In order to realize her daughter's dream of studying abroad, Zheng Manwen resolutely chose to divorce and obtained financial security from the divorce agreement. Although her in-laws are reluctant to bear the cost of her child's education, Zheng Manwen firmly believes that only by letting her child receive the best education can she have a broader stage in life.
Even if she sacrifices her marriage, she is willing to give all her efforts for her daughter's future.
Zheng Manwen used to be a rich wife who lived a comfortable life with a rich fortune. However, in order to pay for her daughter's tuition and living expenses abroad, she has squandered most of her family property.
Although she lost her status as a rich wife, she still lived a good life.
In order to provide for his daughter to study abroad, he did not hesitate to sacrifice his quality of life. The house and car have only sold hundreds of thousands of vehicles**, and he has moved from a luxury community to a residential building without an elevator, and he needs to climb five floors every day.
In this way, he spent more than a million on his daughter's education, and his standard of living plummeted. But he firmly believes that as long as his daughter can receive a good education, the future will be broader.
With her excellent math skills as an Asian, her daughter was admitted to a prestigious school in China. In order to make up for the tuition fees, my family worked hard. Fortunately, after her daughter Xiaojie completed her language school studies in China, she soon went to the United States to study in her second year of high school, and won the first grade in mathematics during her schooling.
During her university years, Xiaojie actively participated in various competitions, worked hard to win scholarships, and volunteered in her spare time to earn living expenses. All this made Zheng Manwen, who was far away in China, feel gratified.
In 2017, Xiaojie took the "college entrance examination" in the United States and was admitted to the Department of Chemistry at the University of California, San Diego with an excellent SAT score of 1470 (out of 1600).
Zheng Manwen burst into tears after hearing the news, and years of hard work seemed to have finally brought the dawn of harvest. However, the joy has not yet dissipated, and the high tuition fees are like a ruthless mire of reality, dragging her back to the cruel reality again - the tuition fee for four years of college is as high as 2 million, and this is only the basic cost.
Zheng Manwen has spent all his property in order to provide for his daughter's education, and now he doesn't even have 2 million. The reporter visited her home and found that although it was an old house without an elevator, she still kept it very tidy.
In the cupboard, she was reluctant to sell luxury bags and clothes. For the sake of her daughter's tuition, she may have to endure the pain of cutting her love and sell all these items.
Faced with high tuition fees, Zheng Manwen was in a dilemma. She tried to sell some of her belongings to finance her tuition, but the money was far from enough. In order to save her daughter's studies, she had to turn to her ex-husband for help.
Zheng Manwen first contacted Xiaoqian, hoping that he could issue her a fixed deposit certificate of 500,000 yuan to meet the school's requirements. Although Xiao Qian is not Xiao Jie's biological father, it is not easy for her to ask him for help, but they used to be husband and wife, and he should be able to understand and help her.
In order to further solve the problem of tuition fees, Zheng Manwen decided to discuss with Xiaojie's biological father.
Zheng Manwen succinctly told Wang Jiangang about the plight of their mother and daughter, and earnestly hoped that Wang Jiangang could take on the responsibility of a father and find a solution to the problem of their children's schooling.
When Wang Jiangang learned that his daughter was admitted to a prestigious foreign university, his heart was full of pride and he couldn't help showing off everywhere. However, when he learned that he had to pay 2 million in tuition, he began to worry.
After all, he now has a new family, and his wife and children are dependent on him as the only financial **.
In order to maintain the basic life of the family, he was busy all day long and devoted himself to sales. However, his ex-wife's request made him feel in a dilemma, and he could not completely ignore it, so he could only accept it first, saying that he would think of other ways later.
A few days later, Wang Jiangang called him again, saying that he had scraped together some money from relatives and friends, hoping to help.
Although Zheng Manwen and Wang Jiangang tried their best, they have only scraped together 160,000 yuan so far, and there is still a distance from the tuition fee of 200,000 yuan.
Wang Jiangang said that his ability has reached the limit, and he can only wait until later. Xiao Jie watched her parents raise money for her to study, and the pressure in her heart doubled.
When she was in high school in the United States, she was very frugal, and she was not willing to spend a penny. Even the most expensive clothes in four years are only 9 of the gifts given away at school events$9 small suit.
Seeing her mother's hard work, Xiaojie decided to give up her study abroad plan and return to China to start studying again.
Zheng Manwen firmly opposed, she believes that her daughter's efforts cannot be easily given up and should be persevered to the end.
In order to fulfill his promise to his daughter, Zheng Manwen is determined to work hard and make up the tuition fees as soon as possible. However, the process was not easy, so she chose to turn to the TV station to tell about her experience and ask for donations.
Although she left her bank card number, she was ridiculed by everyone and did not receive any donations.
Some people questioned why they spent 1 million to study abroad instead of asking others to donate? This kind of logic is really thick-skinned. Do others want to study abroad, but also donate from well-wishers?
By extension, if you want to buy a house and travel abroad, do you need the generosity of well-wishers? But be warned, the money of well-wishers is not blown by the wind, and we should respect their hard work.
Anyway, if her daughter is really good, why didn't she get a scholarship? If you really need funds, you can also take out a loan to go to school. Why let others donate, there is no free lunch in the world.
It is really hard to talk about the luxury goods that you have in hand and ask others to donate money.
Thank you for your interest and support, and we look forward to seeing you again.
Zheng Manwen did everything for her daughter's education, and her dedication was touching. Although the biological father cannot afford the high tuition fees, this selfless maternal love and dedication to his daughter are worthy of our deep thought and learning.
Faced with his daughter's dream of studying abroad, this ordinary father could not afford the high tuition fees, so he had no choice but to seek help from relatives and friends. However, he also had to feed his entire family, which made him feel stressed.
If he really needs to bear the tuition fee of 2 million, then it will take 50 years without eating or drinking, which will undoubtedly bring a greater burden to the family, and may even lead to the breakdown of the family.
This is undoubtedly a kind of moral kidnapping that puts an ordinary person in a difficult situation.
Although Zheng Manwen may seem a little selfish in the way she treats others, her selflessness and greatness in the treatment of her daughter are unmatched. In order to allow her daughter to study abroad, she did not hesitate to give up her wealthy life, chose to divorce, and even lowered her living standard to save money for her daughter.
Children are indeed very competitive and sensible, but what does this mean? Does Zheng Manwen really not know his financial situation? Now that you know, why do you want your daughter to study abroad?
Even if she owes 2 million for this move, what can the child change when he returns to China after completing his studies?
We should avoid raising children at the expense of ourselves. A child's future should not be determined by our fate, but should be encouraged to develop themselves.
While the motives for divorcing and lowering the quality of life in order to send their daughter abroad to study, as Zheng Manwen did, are not advisable.
For the sake of Xiaojie's future, Zheng Manwen was burdened with heavy debts and knitted sweaters day and night to make money. However, for Xiaojie, behind this maternal love is actually her mother's blood, sweat and life, which may become her burden.
Although they have issued an appeal for funding tuition, we hope that not only the donations of well-wishers, but also that Xiaojie can be truly independent and use her own efforts to create her own future.
Studying abroad is a big decision that requires consideration of one's financial strength. It should not be pursued blindly, and if the financial conditions allow, studying abroad is an option that can be considered.
If you need to take out a mortgage to finance your tuition, then such a decision may not be advisable because even if the problem is solved in the short term, the long-term academic costs will be high, and it may even lead to dropping out of school.
Remember, true talent shines wherever it is, whether at home or abroad, and is it worth it to be in debt of several million in order to get a diploma abroad?
If this had happened to you, would you choose to accept such a donation?
