Tell me about Hong Zhanhui’s deeds from childhood to adulthood.
Hong Zhanhui, a college student at Huaihua University in Hunan, suffered a major change in his family when he was 11 years old: his father went crazy, his sister died, his father picked up an abandoned baby girl, and his mother and younger brother Later they also ran away from home. Hong Zhanhui's young shoulders were prematurely burdened with the burden of life.
Since he was in high school, Hong Zhanhui has taken his sister, who is not related to him by blood, with him. He took care of his younger sister while studying, and maintained his life by doing small businesses and doing odd jobs. He took his sister to school in a different place where he went to college, and now he has taken care of her for 12 years!
The 13-year-old boy became the backbone of the Hong family
In 1982, Hong Zhanhui (nicknamed Hong Quanhui) was born in Hongzhuang Village, Dongxia Town, Xihua County, Zhoukou City, Henan Province. Before the age of 12, Hong Zhanhui, like many rural boys, had an innocent childhood. The family composed of his father, mother, younger brother, younger sister and his wife, although life was very difficult, was also very happy.
One day at the end of August 1994, life played a huge joke on Hong Zhanhui, and his life path turned around.
At noon that day, something happened in the Hong family that shocked the whole village - Hong Zhanhui's father, Hong Xinqing, suddenly went crazy. Not only did he smash everything in the house, he also beat his wife. Seeing this situation, Hong Zhanhui's mother hurriedly called for help to take Hong Xinqing to the hospital. But in the panic, he left his 1-year-old daughter in the house. When everyone arrived, the 1-year-old sister had been thrown to the ground by her father and was already out of breath when she was sent to the hospital. Hong Xinqing suffered from intermittent mental illness, and her sister passed away forever.
At this time, Hong Zhanhui was in the fifth grade of elementary school and was not yet 12 years old. On the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month of this year, Hong Xinqing, who was crazy and crazy, had not returned home for dinner before noon. Hong Zhanhui went to look for it with his mother. Under a tree five miles away from the village, his father picked up a quilt from nowhere. The abandoned baby girl has a kind of fatherly love in her eyes.
In desperation, when it was getting dark, the family took the child home. As soon as Hong Zhanhui hugged the little girl, the little girl crawled straight into his arms. He thought of his sister. Hong Zhanhui named the baby girl Hong Chengcheng.
On August 20, 1995, after lunch, my mother kept busy steaming steamed buns. She didn't stop until the steamed buns were enough for the family to eat for a week. The next day, my mother disappeared. Unable to bear the burden of her family and the beatings from her crazy husband, she chose to escape.
"Mom, where have you been? Come back..." The brothers' cries lingered in the dusk for a long time. They didn't want to lose their mother like this, and they didn't want to lose their support for life. Hong Zhanhui cried and looked for his mother everywhere with his brother. It was already late at night, and his mother did not come home that day.
Seemingly overnight, 13-year-old Hong Zhanhui suddenly grew up. His young shoulders began to take over the burden of the whole family's life: raising young Hong Qiancheng, serving his unstable father, taking care of his young brother, and looking for his runaway mother.
At this time, Hong Zhanhui had gone to junior high school in Dongxia Town Middle School in Xihua County. The school was two or three kilometers away from home. Every day when he went to school, he was afraid that his sick father would hurt his little sister, so he left the little sister in the care of his aunt. When he got home from school, he was busy preparing meals for the whole family. Helpless, Hong Zhanhui had no choice but to hold the baby girl in his arms and ask for milk from nearby mothers. Asking for milk every day was not an option, so Hong Zhanhui began to learn to sell eggs and popsicles to earn money to buy milk powder to feed his sister.
During the three years of studying in junior high school, Hong Zhanhui had to walk between school and home no matter in the morning, noon, afternoon or evening, taking care of the whole family's meals in time.
In July 1997, Hong Zhanhui graduated from junior high school and became one of three students from Dongxia Town Middle School to be admitted to Xihua No. 1 Middle School, a key high school in Henan Province.
“I want to earn money to study, and I want to support my family.”
“When I received the admission notice, I was packing my bags and preparing to go out to work.” Hong Zhanhui told reporters, “I want to I want to earn money to study and support my family.
"
The father, who was sober at the time, exchanged a bag of wheat rations from home for 50 yuan. He handed it to Hong Zhanhui tremblingly and said, "Baby! Dad, I'm sorry! I was admitted to school but had no money to go to school..."
16-year-old Hong Zhanhui braved the scorching sun and ran to Zhoukou, Luohe and other places alone with 50 yuan in his arms. Because he was thin and small, he had to wait for three days in three days. He couldn't even find a job washing dishes, so he had to return to Xihua County. At this time, Hong Zhanhui was penniless.
Hong Zhanhui's persistence aroused the sympathy of a middle-aged man. After two or three days of hard work, the middle-aged man gave Hong Zhanhui a job delivering nail guns at the construction site where he built the awning. He worked hard and earned more than 700 yuan in one summer vacation. /p>
On September 1 of this year, Hong Zhanhui finally reported to Xihua No. 1 Middle School on time. Moreover, through the election, he became the monitor of Class 293.
He gradually settled down in the school. Later, Hong Zhanhui rented a house near the school and took his little sister home. He started running between school and his residence every morning like he did in junior high school, making sure that his little sister had breakfast. , and then told her not to go out, and then go to school. At noon and evening, he took meals from school and took them back to his residence to eat together.
After coming to the county town to study, all expenses increased. , and the study pressure of high school is unmatched by that of junior high school. However, Hong Zhanhui knows that if he loses his financial source, his father's illness, the lives of his younger brother and sister, and his beautiful ideals will all be empty talk. Working to earn money will become Hong Zhanhui's arduous study.
“There is no way, I want to study and support my family, so I have to find a way to make money! From then on, Hong Zhanhui used his spare time on campus to sell ballpoint pen refills, books and materials, English tapes, etc., "I sell insoles, socks, whatever I can to make money," maintaining the family's life with a meager income.
It is looked down upon for high school students to engage in campus sales like vendors, which even aroused the resentment of some teachers and students. Once, during the sales process in a certain class, the head teacher of the class mercilessly kicked him out. Leaving the classroom: “Are you here to study or to be a hawker? No matter how difficult your family is, your parents should still do these things to make money. Your task now is to study hard! "Hong Zhanhui made no excuses, held back his tears, packed his things and left.
Hong Zhanhui said that as soon as the school posted a power outage notice, he would rush out to wholesale candles, and then go to retail classes one by one; he sold The ballpoint pens have a lot of refills and small nibs, and are cheap. When I don’t feel good about using them, they even offer to return or replace them. “Actually, no matter how small a thing you do and how little money you make, as long as it is earned through hard work, it’s worth it. Nothing to be proud of! "Hong Zhanhui said.
Hong Zhanhui studied and took care of his little boy while earning money, and had to deliver medicine to his father regularly. This kind of life lasted for more than a year. When Hong Zhanhui was in his second year of high school, his father's mental illness Suddenly it happened again.
My father was hospitalized and needed care and money. In order to borrow money, Hong Zhanhui went to several surrounding villages and asked almost all his relatives and friends, but it took him two days to borrow more than 40 yuan. Money. Later, Aunt Deng, the owner of a paint shop in Nanguan, Xihua County, reached out to him and sent the 2,000 yuan needed for medical treatment to Hong Zhanhui's home. Pressure and the current situation of the family forced Hong Zhanhui to drop out of school. In his second year of high school, Hong Zhanhui said goodbye to the difficult campus.
After returning to his hometown in the countryside, he cleaned up farmland, took care of his father, and taught his sister how to read in his spare time. , and started a small business during the off-season to earn money to support the family, earning six to seven thousand yuan a year.
By 2000, Xiao Qianqian was already 6 years old, and his father's condition also declined. Controlled. “It’s impossible to have no knowledge without studying and learning! "Hong Zhanhui was eager to return to school to study again.
It just so happened that Li Yonggui and Qin Hongli, Hong Zhanhui's teachers at Xihua No. 1 Middle School, were transferred to Xihua No. 2 Middle School. The two teachers had always cared about Hong Zhanhui, and they asked people to take him with them. Letter: I hope Hong Zhanhui can return to high school. Since the high school section of No. 2 Middle School is newly built, Hong Zhanhui became a freshman in Xihua No. 2 Middle School.
Hong Zhanhui took Xiao Chengli with him again, and she was of school age. Teacher Qin helped find a primary school nearby, and Xiao Chengli also started to go to school.
"I can't fall down, I want to go to college and change my destiny"
A new high school life has begun again. What is different from the past is that while earning money, studying and taking care of his little sister, Hong Zhanhui also has another job - tutoring his little sister's studies.
Hong Zhanhui told reporters that when he was a sophomore in high school, he worked in a steamed bun shop near the school. The boss paid him 30 yuan per month and he could eat steamed buns for free in the morning. Saved.
Life goes on in peace. In October 2002, my father suffered from mental illness for the third time. He sent his father to a mental hospital, but he couldn't afford the hospitalization fees. And not long after, his younger brother Hong Jinhui, who was in the first grade of junior high school and ranked first in the class, left without saying goodbye and went out to work.
One day at the end of October, a rural mental hospital in Fugou County was moved by Hong Zhanhui's filial piety and agreed to waive hospitalization fees and only charge treatment fees. Hong Zhanhui hurried home to get hospital supplies. After arriving home, he rode his bicycle overnight and rushed to the hospital. It was nearly 50 kilometers from home to the hospital, and the night was already deep. Hong Zhanhui, who had been running for three days in a row, was extremely exhausted. He couldn't keep his eyes open while riding. As a result, he and his car fell into a ditch on the side of the road... …When he woke up, the bicycle was on top of him and the pieces of the open water bottle were scattered on the ground.
I don’t know how long he lay in the ditch, but Hong Zhanhui thought of his sister and father. He gritted his teeth and said to himself: "I can't fall down. If I fall down, no one will take care of my father's illness, and no one will take care of my sister... I must go to college and change my destiny!" He Finally stood up tenaciously.
Hong Zhanhui told reporters that he saw the huge demand among students for review materials, so he used his Sunday time to drive to Zhengzhou to wholesale books and sell them back to school. In order to save costs, he sometimes walked for several hours from Zhengzhou South Bus Station to Zhengzhou Book City in the western suburbs, and his feet were bleeding.
Hong Zhanhui’s fellow Henan residents Yang Hongzhi and Ningdan both told reporters that in Xihua County and neighboring Taikang and Fugou counties in Henan Province, high school students around 2002 were very fond of Hong Zhanhui. He was so impressed that many people lent him money to make capital. He often went to school classes to sell books, refills, etc. They became friends with Hong Zhanhui when they were buying information.
It was during that period that Hong Zhanhui sold more than 5,000 copies of just one translation of classical Chinese and earned more than 20,000 yuan. Because all the students knew about Hong Zhanhui's situation, and because he operated with integrity, his business was booming, and even students from other schools came to him to buy books.
In June 2003, Hong Zhanhui, who had been studying in high school on and off for five years, finally entered the college entrance examination room.
"Perhaps, no one understood at that time why I could study high school intermittently for 5 years without giving up my studies. In the 5 years, I stopped studying for one year to earn money. In the 5 years, I fainted 16 times, but every time "I stood up every time!" Hong Zhanhui said, "I have never accepted a donation in five years, but when I was doing a small business selling books, my classmates lent me almost all their living expenses." Hong Zhanhui was very happy! It's proud and touching.
"I will remember the people who have helped me, and I will help more people."
After the college entrance examination results were announced, Hong Zhanhui was admitted to Hunan Huaihua University with a score of 490 Admission. But the tuition fee of 5,200 yuan and having to take care of his sister made him very embarrassed! During the summer vacation, he earned 2,000 yuan from part-time work. He decided to visit Hunan first and entrusted his sister to his aunt.
On the day of registration as a freshman, he paid 1,500 yuan in tuition and started working in his old job as a "petty merchant". When he saw many registered freshmen calling home one after another, he asked around to find sales channels for phone cards. He found a phone card seller and spent all the 500 yuan he had on him to buy phone cards. He sold more than 100 cards that night, making a profit of 600 to 700 yuan in two or three days.
In order to make money, Hong Zhanhui tried every means. Later, he gradually became the general distributor of Backgammon repeaters, electronic dictionaries and Dingjiayi cosmetics in Hunan Huaihua University. He also monopolized the purity of the school's 19 student dormitories. Water supply, installation of telephones, etc.
During the Spring Festival of 2004, Hong Zhanhui returned to his hometown in Henan and felt very guilty when he saw his little sister who was out of school at home. "No matter what, I can't let my sister drop out of school again. I want to take my sister to college!" Hong Zhanhui secretly made up his mind.
After returning to Huaihua, Hong Zhanhui began to contact schools for Xiaoli. Finally one day, when he went to the principal of Shimen Primary School in Hecheng District and asked his sister to join him, the principal agreed.
Li Hong'e, a student in the Department of Economics and Management of Huaihua University, was the first to know that Hong Zhanhui wanted to take his sister to college. Li Hong'e said to Hong Zhanhui: "We still have an empty bed in our dormitory. Please bring your little sister and I will help you take care of her."
At the end of June 2004, Hong Zhanhui called Mr. Hong Zhanhui, who was studying at Henan University of Technology. High school classmate Zhang Yongguang and others asked them to help bring their sister to Huaihua. He wants to use his summer vacation to make money.
On June 27, Xiaoli finally met her brother at Huaihua Railway Station. She hugged Hong Zhanhui's leg and refused to let go for a long time.
In the summer of 2004, when a female high school classmate named Song of Hong Zhanhui came to visit him from Henan, she liked Xiaoli very much when she saw her and affectionately called her "Little Little". From then on, everyone called her "little one".
After the summer vacation, "Little One" returned to school. Early in the morning, she went to school carrying her schoolbag. At noon, have lunch at school. After returning to the college dormitory, Hong Zhanhui gave her tutoring lessons and taught her Mandarin.
Children of the poor have been in charge of their own affairs for a long time, and the "little one" has learned to cook. If her brother goes out to sell things and does not come back, she will cook alone and wait for him to come back to eat. If she sees an empty bottle on the street, she will pick it up. When her brother comes back from the city to buy school supplies, she will help him carry them. Hong Zhanhui was very pleased with his sister's understanding.
When all walks of life learned about Hong Zhanhui’s situation, many people offered financial and material help, but he declined: “I don’t accept donations because I think a person’s self-reliance and self-reliance are the most important. I now have the ability to survive and develop. There are still many people in this society who are in difficulty and unable to struggle out. They are the ones we need help now."
Huaihua University Student Affairs Office. Deputy Director Wang Rong told reporters that after the school learned about Hong Zhanhui's situation, it made an exception and arranged a separate dormitory for him so that he could take care of his sister. With the help of the college, Hong Zhanhui also completed the transfer procedures for his sister at Shimen Primary School in Hecheng District, Huaihua City, near the college.
The teachers at the school were also moved by Hong Zhanhui’s deeds, and some teachers donated money one after another. Once the teacher donated 3,190 yuan. When the teacher handed the money to Hong Zhanhui, he refused to accept it: "There are many classmates who are more difficult than me. What's more important is that I now know how to support myself." Hong Zhanhui's attitude was very determined. , in desperation, the school had to offset part of Hong Zhanhui’s expenses. About a year later, teachers and students in the department donated some money to Hong Zhanhui, but this time Hong Zhanhui firmly refused. The Student Affairs Office specially allocated him a monthly subsidy of 200 yuan, but he refused to receive it despite repeated urging.
Hong Zhanhui has his own principles regarding money. He believes that money that is not earned with his own hands must not be spent on himself. While in college, he repeatedly rejected donations and funding from others. Although his life is very difficult, he has never applied for special poverty subsidy.
Hong Zhanhui's classmate He Ronghua said of him: "He refuses when others donate to him, but he still likes to help others."
Hong Zhanhui said: "I will keep it in mind For everyone who has helped me, I will set up a fund to help more people." He emphasized that this fund is a responsibility fund, not a general charity fund. I want to help those people in this way, and when those people succeed, they will also put their own strength back into this fund.
“I want to tell those who are in poverty and struggling to maintain a peaceful mind and not to blame others. The most important thing is how you change yourself and what method you use to change it. Yourself." Hong Zhanhui said happily. After he was admitted to the university, he came home every Spring Festival and was pleased to see that his long-sick father's condition had improved greatly. At the end of 2004, his mother also felt guilty and returned to her home after a long absence. Now there is news about my brother who has been drifting away for many years. As an ordinary person, I will continue to do what I should do, fulfill my obligations and responsibilities, and live my life peacefully, calmly, without regrets, and without guilt.
Hong Zhanhui! An example of life! ! !
