The story of Hong Zhanhui, one of the top ten people who moved China in 25
Hong Zhanhui, a college student in huaihua university, Hunan Province, had a major family change at the age of 11: his father went crazy, his sister died, his father picked up an abandoned baby girl, and his mother and brother later ran away from home. Hong Zhanhui's immature shoulders pressed the burden of life prematurely. ?
Since she was in high school, Hong Zhanhui has taken this sister, who is not related to her, with her, to take care of her younger sister while studying, to make a living by doing small businesses and odd jobs, and to take her to a foreign place where she went to college. Now she has taken care of her sister for 12 years!
The p>13-year-old boy became the pillar of the Hong family
In p>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 boys in rural areas, had an innocent childhood. His father, mother, brother, sister and his family were happy, although life was hard.
One day at the end of August p>1994, life played a big joke on Hong Zhanhui, and his life 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 smashed everything in the family, but also beat his wife. Hong Zhanhui's mother saw this situation, and quickly called for help to send Hong Xinqing to the hospital. But in a hurry, I left my 1-year-old daughter in the house. By the time everyone arrived, my 1-year-old sister had been thrown to the ground by her father and was out of breath when she was taken to the hospital. Hong Xinqing got intermittent mental illness, and her sister left forever.
At this time, Hong Zhanhui was in the fifth grade of primary school and was under 12 years old. On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month this year, Hong Xinqing, who was crazy, didn't go home for dinner near noon. Hong Zhanhui went to look for it with his mother. Under a tree 5 miles away from the village, his father found an abandoned baby girl from nowhere, and his eyes showed a kind of fatherly love.
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 went straight into his arms, and he thought of his sister. Hong Zhanhui named the baby girl Hongzai.
on August 2, 1995, after lunch, my mother kept busy steaming steamed buns, and she didn't stop until the steamed buns were enough for the whole family to eat for a week. The next day, my mother disappeared. Unable to bear the burden of her family and the beating of her crazy husband, she chose to flee.
"Mom, where have you been? Come back ... "The cries of the two brothers floated in the dusk for a long time. They don't want to lose their mother like this, and they don't want to lose their dependence on life. Hong Zhanhui cried and looked for her mother with his younger brother. It was already late at night, and her mother didn't come home that day.
It seems that 13-year-old Hong Zhanhui suddenly grew up overnight. His tender shoulders began to take over the burden of family life: raising young Hong, serving his unstable father, taking care of his young brother and looking for his runaway mother.
At this time, Hong Zhanhui has gone to dongxia town Middle School in Xihua County to attend junior high school, which is two or three kilometers away from home. Every day at school, he was afraid that his sick father would hurt his little sister, so he left the opportunity to his aunt to look after him, returned home after school, and was busy preparing meals for the whole family. Helpless, Hong Zhanhui had to hold the baby girl and beg for milk from the nearby mothers. Begging for milk every day is not the way. Hong Zhanhui began to learn to sell eggs and popsicles to earn money to buy milk powder to feed her sister.
In the three years of junior high school, Hong Zhanhui has to walk between school and home in the morning, noon, afternoon and evening, and take care of the whole family for dinner in time.
In July p>1997, Hong Zhanhui graduated from junior high school and became one of the three students admitted to Xihua No.1 Middle School, a key high school in Henan Province, in dongxia town Middle School.
"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 going out to work." Hong Zhanhui told reporters, "I want to earn money to study, and I want to support my family."
At that time, my sober father exchanged a bag of wheat rations at home for 5 yuan money and gave it to Hong Zhanhui trembling and said, "My baby! Dad, I'm sorry! I was admitted to school, but I didn't have the money ... "
Hong Zhanhui, 16, with money from 5 yuan, braved the scorching sun and went to Zhoukou and Luohe alone. Because she was thin and small, she couldn't even find a job to wash dishes for three days and three nights, so she had to return to Xihua County. At this point, Hong Zhanhui was penniless.
Hong Zhanhui's persistent spirit aroused the sympathy of a middle-aged man. After two or three days of soft grinding and hard soaking, the middle-aged man gave Hong Zhanhui a job of delivering nail guns on the construction site where he built the canopy. Hong Zhanhui worked hard and earned more than 7 yuan in a summer vacation.
On September 1st 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.
After the school gradually settled down, Hong Zhanhui rented a house near the school and took Xiao Qian from home. He began to travel between school and residence every day, just like when he was in junior high school. Early in the morning, he wants his little sister to have breakfast, then tells her not to go out and then goes to school. At noon and in the evening, he had a meal from school and took it back to his residence to eat with Xiao.
After studying in the county, all expenses have increased, and the study pressure in high school is incomparable to that in junior high school. However, Hong Zhanhui knows that if he loses his financial resources, his father's illness will improve, his younger brother and sister's life and his beautiful ideal will all be empty talk, and working to earn money will become Hong Zhanhui's biggest task besides his heavy studies.
"I can't help it. I want to study. I want to support my family. I must find a way to earn money!" " Since then, Hong Zhanhui has sold ballpoint pens, books, English tapes, etc. in his spare time on campus. "Insoles and socks, I will sell them as long as I can make money", and he has maintained the life of the whole family with his meager income.
It is looked down upon by high school students to engage in campus sales like small vendors, and even aroused the disgust of some teachers and students. Once in the process of a class's sales promotion, the class teacher mercilessly kicked him out of the classroom: "Are you here to study or to be a peddler?" No matter how difficult your family is, these money-making things should also be done by your parents. Your task now is to study hard! " Hong Zhanhui made no excuses, fought back tears, packed up and left.
Hong Zhanhui said that as long as the school posted a power outage notice, he quickly ran out to wholesale candles, and then went to retail in shifts; The ballpoint pen core oil he sells is small in pen tip and cheap, and he takes the initiative to return it when he feels bad when he uses it. "In fact, no matter how small things you do and how little money you earn, as long as you work hard, you should be proud of every penny!" Hong Zhanhui said.
While earning money, Hong Zhanhui studies and takes care of her children, and she has to send medicine to her father regularly. This kind of life lasted for more than a year. When Hong Zhanhui was a sophomore, his father's mental illness suddenly happened again.
My father needed care and money when he was hospitalized. In order to borrow money, Hong Zhanhui went to several surrounding villages and asked almost all his relatives and friends, but he only borrowed more than 4 yuan after running for two days. Later, Aunt Deng, the owner of a paint shop in Nanguan, Xihua County, gave him a helping hand and sent 2, yuan to Hong Zhanhui's home.
The pressure of life and the present situation of family forced Hong Zhanhui to drop out of school. When she was a sophomore, Hong Zhanhui said goodbye to the reluctant campus with tears.
after returning to his hometown in the countryside, he tidied up the farmland, took care of his father, taught his sister to read in his spare time, and did some small business in his spare time to earn money to support his family, earning six or seven thousand yuan a year.
By the year 2, Xiao Qian was 6 years old and his father's illness was under control. "Without reading, learning and knowledge, it is impossible!" Hong Zhanhui is eager to go back to school again.
Just then, Hong Zhanhui's teachers Yonggui Li and Qin Hongli in Xihua No.1 Middle School were transferred to Xihua No.2 Middle School. Two teachers have been concerned about Hong Zhanhui, and they sent a message to Hong Zhanhui: I hope Hong Zhanhui can return to high school. Because the senior middle school of No.2 Middle School is newly built, Hong Zhanhui has become a freshman in Xihua No.2 Middle School.
Hong Zhanhui took Xiao Zao with him again, and she was old enough to go to school. Teacher Qin helped find a primary school nearby, and Xiao Zao 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. Different from the past, while taking care of Xiao while earning money and studying, Hong Zhanhui has another job-tutoring his little sister's study.
Hong Zhanhui told reporters that when he was a sophomore, he worked in a steamed bun shop near the school. Every month, his boss paid 3 yuan, and he could eat steamed buns for free in the morning, so he could eat more and save lunch and dinner.
life goes on in a dull way. In October 22, my father's mental illness was committed for the third time. He sent his father to a mental hospital, but he couldn't afford the hospitalization fee. And soon, Hong Jinhui, his younger brother, who was in the first day of junior high school and ranked first in his class, left without saying goodbye and went out to work.
One day at the end of October, a township mental hospital in Fugou County was moved by Hong Zhanhui's filial piety and promised to waive hospitalization fees and only accept treatment fees. Hong Zhanhui hurried home to get things for hospitalization, and rode his bike to the hospital overnight after he got home. It's nearly 5 kilometers from home to the hospital, and it's already deep at night. Hong Zhanhui, who has been running around for three days continuously, is extremely tired. When he rides, he can't keep his eyes open. As a result, he falls in a ditch beside the road with his car ... When he wakes up, his bicycle is pressed on his body, and pieces of water bottles are scattered all over the floor.
I don't know how long I've been lying in the ditch, but Hong Zhanhui thinks of her sister and father. He gritted his teeth and said to himself, "I can't fall down. If I fall down, my father's illness will be left unattended, and my sister will be left unattended ... I must go to college and change my destiny!" He finally stood up tenaciously.
Hong Zhanhui told reporters that he saw that students had a great demand for review materials, so he took advantage of Sunday to take a bus 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 bloody.
Hong Zhanhui's fellow villagers Yang Hongzhi and Ning Dan both told reporters that high school students around 22 in Xihua County, Henan Province and neighboring Taikang County and Fugou County were deeply impressed by Hong Zhanhui. Many people even lent him money as capital, and he often went to school classes to sell books and refills. They became friends with Hong Zhanhui when they bought information.
It was during that period that Hong Zhanhui sold only one book of materials translated in classical Chinese, and sold more than 5, copies, earning more than 2, yuan. As Hong Zhanhui's situation is well known to the students, and his honest business is booming, even students from other schools come to him to buy books.
In June, 23, Hong Zhanhui, who studied in high school intermittently for five years, finally entered the college entrance examination room.
"Maybe, no one understood why I was able to attend high school intermittently for five years without giving up my studies. In five years, I stopped studying to earn money for one year. In five years, I fainted 16 times, but I stood up every time! " Hong Zhanhui said, "I have never received a donation in five years, but when I started a small business to sell books, my classmates lent me almost all my living expenses!" Hong Zhanhui is very proud and moved.
"I will firmly remember those who helped me, and I want to help more people"
After the results of the college entrance examination were announced, Hong Zhanhui was admitted to huaihua university, Hunan Province with a score of 49. But the tuition fee of 52 yuan and taking care of his sister made him very embarrassed! Taking advantage of the summer vacation, he earned 2 yuan by working, decided to visit Hunan first, and entrusted his sister to his aunt.
On the day when the freshmen reported for duty, he paid 1,5 yuan in tuition fees, and then he started his old job as a "small trader". When he saw many freshmen calling home, he asked around to find the sales channel of calling cards. He found a phone card seller and bought all the phone cards that he had only 5 yuan. He sold more than 1 cards that night and earned six or seven hundred yuan in two or three days.
In order to make money, Hong Zhanhui tried his best. Later, he gradually represented BBK repeater, electronic dictionary and Ding Jiayi cosmetics in huaihua university, Hunan Province. He also monopolized the pure water supply and telephone installation in 19 student dormitories of the school.
In the Spring Festival of p>24, 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. "In any case, I can't let my sister drop out of school again. I want to take my sister to college!" Hong Zhanhui made up his mind.
after returning to Huaihua, Hong Zhanhui began to contact the school for Xiao. Finally, one day, when he went to Shimen Primary School in Hecheng District to ask the principal to put forward his sister's request, the principal agreed.
Li Hong 'e, a student of huaihua university Economics and Management Department, first learned that Hong Zhanhui wanted to take her sister to college. Li Honge said to Hong Zhanhui, "There is still an empty bed in our dormitory. Please bring your little sister and I will take care of her for you."
At the end of June, 24, Hong Zhanhui called Zhang Yongguang, a high school classmate who was studying in Henan University of Technology, and asked them to help bring her sister to Huaihua. He wants to use his summer vacation to earn money.
On June 27th, Xiao took the opportunity to finally meet her brother at Huaihua Railway Station. She hugged Hong Zhanhui's leg for a long time.
In the summer vacation of p>24, when a female classmate named Song from Hong Zhanhui came to visit him from Henan, she liked Xiao while she saw him and affectionately called her "Little One". Since then, everyone has called her "Tiny".
After the summer vacation, Tiny returned to school. Early in the morning, she went to school with her schoolbag on her back. At noon, eat Chinese food at school. After returning to the college dormitory, Hong Zhanhui gave her lessons and taught her Mandarin.
The children of the poor have been in charge for a long time, and the "little one" has learned to cook. If her brother can't come back from selling things, she will cook alone until his brother comes back to eat. When she sees an empty bottle on the road, she will pick it up. When my brother comes back from the city with school supplies, she will also help carry them. Hong Zhanhui is very pleased with his sister's understanding.
When people from all walks of life learned about Hong Zhanhui's situation, many people offered financial and material help, but he refused: "I don't accept donations because I think it is most important for a person to stand on his own feet and strengthen himself. I have the ability to survive and develop now. There are still many people in this society who are in difficulties and unable to struggle out. They are what we need help now. "
Wang Rong, deputy director of huaihua university Student Affairs Office, told the reporter that after learning about Hong Zhanhui's situation, the school made an exception and arranged a dormitory for him to take care of his sister. With the help of the college, Hong Zhanhui also completed the insertion procedure for her sister at Shimen Primary School in Hecheng District, Huaihua City near the college.
The teachers in the school were also moved by Hong Zhanhui's deeds, and some teachers donated money one after another. Once the teacher donated 3,19 yuan. When the teacher gave the money to Hong Zhanhui, he didn't pick it up: "There are some students who are more difficult than me. More importantly, I now know how to support myself." Hong Zhanhui's attitude is very firm. In desperation, the school has to offset some expenses of Hong Zhanhui. About a year later, the teachers and students in the department donated money to Hong Zhanhui.
