Poor students in Tsinghua spend 400 yuan a month to support 4 children with 3200 yuan when they go to graduate school, truly practicing Tsinghua's school motto of "self-improvement and unremitting virtue". This news circulated on the Internet yesterday, and many people read his story and were deeply moved by his confession in the "tree hole", for his spirit of not being humble and self-reliant, and for loving and helping others.
The tide of the times rolls forward, and we habitually talk about the pressure, inner curl and lying flat of young and middle-aged people. But there are also such young people, although he came from a poor background, did not go to the person who "showed weakness", but led by example, becoming a bright and powerful person, a loving person, so that we can see the preciousness of a virtuous person.
(The full text of "Tree Hole" is attached at the end of the article)
There is a boy who comes from rural Anhui. A single-parent family that lives with a father.
Weak and sick from childhood, the father chopped wood to boil water, father and son used water instead of wine, "Our grandfather and grandfather have to drink more today, this hot water and liquor are the same, drinking to the mouth is spicy, flowing into the stomach is warm." There was only one hot water bottle in the house, rubber, and a little leaky, and my father filled the hot water bag with hot water and stuffed it into his bed, and the instep of his feet was burned red, and the fever slowly subsided. Father sat by his pillow and covered him with a quilt over and over again at night.
In elementary school and junior high school, his father rode a bicycle to take him to the town teacher's house to make up for the class, and after sending it, he had to ride back quickly, prepare lunch for him, more than 30 kilometers round trip, full of father's love.
The boy grew into a guy. Admitted to Tsinghua, came to Beijing, went to university. Take a maza on the train and sit and read a book all night.
His heart was full of love, and he did not feel inferior because of the poverty of the family, nor did he complain that he did not have a complete home, and complained that his father could not create better material conditions for him.
He is not humble. When the class went out to play together, he excused himself not to go, unlike some boys who punched their swollen faces and inflated fat people to borrow money to participate, or asked their parents for money, and they had to fit in anyway. He enriches his life with his studies and spends his free time as a tutor. When conditions got better later, he didn't raise the price of the first tutor.
He was a principled, very grateful child.
When he had a certain ability to help others, he took out 3200 yuan per semester to sponsor 4 children of Hope Primary School for them to study.
He went back to visit them during the holidays, and he told these children that the outside world is very big, and you should study hard, go out, and look at the outside world.
During my school days, there was a teacher who also sponsored me, and she wanted me to buy a notebook and write well. She wanted me to study with peace of mind, not to do part-time work, and to grasp the reading time. She was gentle and considerate, and talked to me about literature and love. Every time I walked to the door of her studio, it would be gentle. The door was open, and she was sitting in a wicker chair, looking at a book, and I called out to the teacher softly, and she got up at once and poured me tea. We sat together reading her newly written poems, or reading articles by a writer on the table together. At noon she took me to the teacher's canteen for dinner, and after eating we went for a walk around the lake. When I was separated from her, I would want to cry. Wanting to cry is not sadness, but touching.
How could I have been so lucky to meet such a good teacher? She guided me in the direction of my life. Without her, without another teacher, where am I now? Maybe it's still muddy, not knowing where the future is going.
When you meet such a good teacher in life, you must be lucky in three lifetimes. This boy he had the privilege of meeting a "Ms. Guo", ms. Guo, who is in her 80s, wrote to him in her own handwriting to tell him that now her money is just a number, and it is he who has made her see the hope of life. She gave him peace of mind to study, and funded him when he wasn't so short of money.
In addition to this Ms. Guo, there is also the teacher who gave him a free make-up class, he was admitted to college, prostrated his head, and thanked the teacher.
Children who walk in the dark encounter a little light and will warm up. His life could change dramatically. The light here does not refer only to money, but also to spiritual guidance. There are many children who are actually very confused about how life goes, at this time, if there happens to be such a mentor, everything will be different.
They emit light from their bodies, and this light can also affect and infect others.
Teachers tell us that it is important to learn in school, learn to be a person, and love life. A person of bad character may be mixed up, but you see, after a while, he will fall from a high place fiercely.
The most important thing that this boy expressed in his confession, I think, is that his heart is full of love, and his heart is full of gratitude. A person who is full of love in his heart and who knows how to be grateful at all times, his luck will not be too bad. He thanked his father for his efforts, thanked the teacher for free tuition, thanked Ms. Guo and other entrepreneurs for their financial support (handwritten two thank-you letters every year, and later sent WeChat greetings to entrepreneurs), he also thanked the love bicycle, a ZTE mobile phone, and he even thanked the school library for free hot water and free computers.
He doesn't complain, he doesn't cry to people about how miserable he was and how badly he ate.
He said that the soup bibimbap of potato ribs, he would eat it in a sloppy manner. He said that he would take the rice and dip the soup on the sweet and sour meat plate.
He is not humble and enriches himself with learning, which makes him successfully protect research.
In addition, he works as a tutor, earns a certain amount of money, buys computers, and saves money. The tutor who should have raised the price did not rise, and he was grateful for the help of others in his difficult times. His heart was full of love, and he was given love. Classmates later told him that he didn't want to hurt his self-esteem that year and didn't propose that he didn't use AA. Parents are currently in good health. His values are so correct that a confession on the Internet quickly becomes popular in this materialistic and indifferent society.
This would have been a very normal idea. Why is this little thing so popular on the Internet?
There are many entrepreneurs who sponsor poor children, and there are now many people who spend 400 yuan a month for poor students. But when the two are combined, a college student who had an extremely difficult time, and a high-quality talent who came out of the highest school in the country, began to sponsor some children with poor family conditions when he was able.
This stems from Ms. Guo's influence on him. When he could still apply for a bursary, he refused because he could earn money by tutoring himself, and he left the opportunity to those who needed it more. Later, he began to sponsor the children of hope primary school in his hometown.
This is not the end. He said he hoped to start his own foundation in the future like those entrepreneurs. He will definitely realize his ideas.
Tsinghua University's motto: Self-improvement and virtue. Everyone understands the meaning of these two idioms, but who can really practice it? The boy did. Probably from the time his father covered him with a quilt over and over again at night, and the township teacher gave him a free make-up lesson, he understood that heaven was very kind to him, his father loved him so much, the teacher was so good to him, and his heart was full of love.
A child whose heart is full of love, he will love the world, and when he has the ability, he will give back to the world.
Today, there is also a piece of news on the hot search - a primary school student for 1 month to beat 119 scolding, the class is very envious.
What you get is supported by considerable virtue. Don't think that national security and social stability are taken for granted, that there are people behind us. The library's free boiling water and computers were all given as gifts by the boy from Tsinghua University. Boiling water requires someone to burn the boiler, the computer is bought by the school, and it can be used without spending money, all of which did not fall from the sky. Today's primary school students have extremely rich material conditions, and they should pay more attention to moral practice.
The boy saw some of the students who had taken the bursary and made a big deal, and also saw those who were not difficult but squeezed their scalps to apply for scholarships, and afterwards they were not even willing to write a thank-you letter, and bravely stood up. He is not afraid to say the poverty of the family, not afraid to say that he was thrifty and thrifty, but wants to tell those people with his own story that having rich material conditions is really not a gift from heaven, that getting scholarships really should not be extravagant, and that the family is not so difficult or give those opportunities to those who need more help.
I believe that this incident will give you some reflection:
What kind of person can we be? What can you do for others?
What do we need more in this day and age? Is it just money?
