A little boy who took care of a life weaker than himself, experienced suffering but blossomed a soft flower in his heart, and took up the burden of this crippled family with his young shoulders.
But what made him take on this responsibility? And what makes him go down firmly? Tell the story of the people, taste the taste of life, this issue of the childlike fun of our people, we the people, will lead everyone to listen to the story of Hong Zhanhui.
Hong Zhanhui, born in June 1982, is from Xihua County, Henan Province. Before Hong Zhanhui was 12 years old, although his childhood life was not rich and noble, it was also like other children, happy and carefree, innocent and romantic.
Hong Zhanhui lives in a family of five, even if the days are relatively poor, but also full of joy and laughter. But it didn't last long, and at the age of 12, he saw with his own eyes what it meant to be destroyed overnight.
At the end of August 1994, one day at noon, Hong Zhanhui's father suddenly went crazy and smashed everything in the house, and his mother stepped forward to stop his father, but he was beaten by his father.
The mother felt that the situation was not right, so she immediately went out and asked someone to help send her father to the hospital. In a hurry, he left his 1-year-old daughter in the house. When everyone returned home together, they found that their daughter had been thrown to the ground by her father, and after rushing to the hospital, her daughter had died of exhaustion, and her father had also been diagnosed with intermittent psychosis.
In the same year, on the twenty-third day of the waxing moon, my father suddenly ran out and did not come home for a long time. Mother and Hong Zhanhui couldn't go out to find their father after lunch. Later, he found his father under a large tree 5 miles from the village.
At this time, the father was holding a baby girl in his arms, looking at her lovingly. Because she did not know where the child came from, the mother advised the father to put the child down and return it to someone else. No matter how much he tried to persuade his father, he would not let go. It was getting dark, so I had no choice but to take the little girl home.
The family was not rich in the first place, and with the treatment of the father and the problem of subsistence, they were no longer able to raise a child. The mother asked Hong Zhanhui to quietly put the child back in place.
Every time Hong Zhanhui put her down, the little girl cried and cried, and as soon as she held her in her arms, she showed a sweet smile to Hong Zhanhui. Hong Zhanhui couldn't bear to put her here, and took her back, and he told his mother that he had come to raise her. Hong Zhanhui named the girl Hong Qiao.
This gloomy little family had a little joy because of Hong's arrival. What Hong Zhanhui did not expect was that life had prepared him with more tribulations.
On August 20, 1995, after lunch, my mother kept steaming steamed buns until she had reached the amount for a week. The next day, my mother ran away from home.
Because her mother could not bear the burden of the family and the beatings of her father when he fell ill, she chose to flee. Hong Zhanhui and his brother cried and went out to look for their mother, but they never saw her.
The departure of his mother was a heavy blow to the family, and overnight 13-year-old Hong Zhanhui was forced to grow up, and his young shoulders took on the responsibilities of the whole family, serving his sick father, taking care of his young brother, raising his sister who had been picked up, and finding his mother who had run away.
At this time, Hong Zhanhui was already a junior high school student. In order to make ends meet, he works odd jobs in a small shop near the school, and he also learns to sell small things and do small businesses.
On weekends, I go home to collect waste, open up the wasteland, and take care of the family's 8 acres of land. He was small and thin, and he could not see any figure standing in the field. Because he was afraid that his father would suddenly fall ill and hurt his sister, he entrusted his sister to the care of the eldest mother before going to school, returned home to make a meal and went to pick up his sister back.
Because his sister was still young and there was no milk powder at home, Hong Zhanhui could only take his sister around the village to beg for milk. But this is not a long-term solution, Hong Zhanhui thought of selling eggs and popsicles to earn money to buy milk powder for his sister.
I remember once When Hong Zhanhui fell directly from a tree in order to take bird eggs for his sister to eat, he only breathed in and out of breath, and almost disappeared.
In the blink of an eye, a few years passed. With excellent results, Hong Zhanhui was admitted to Xihua No.1 High School, a key high school in Henan Province. However, this is exciting news for others, but it is a problem for Hong Zhanhui.
Because he couldn't afford the high tuition. My father also wanted to do some work to support the family, but unfortunately he had a finger cut off. Hong Zhanhui knew that only reading could change his destiny. So he decided to go out and work as a summer vacation job to earn his own tuition.
Hong Zhanhui, 16, took the 50 yuan he had bought from a bag of wheat to find a job. Because he was too young, no one dared to use him. Finally a well-meaning person asked him to stay on his construction site and do odd jobs. Seeing that the school start time has arrived, Hong Zhanhui has also earned 700 yuan, and his tuition fee has fallen.
Because of the busy high school and the distance from home, Hong Zhanhui could not go home after school to take care of his sister as before, so he rented a room next to the school and took his sister to take care of him.
During the day, when he went to class, he told his sister to stay in the house and not to run out, and at noon, he came back from the canteen to eat with his sister. At night, I studied in the classroom by myself, and let my sister wait outside the classroom.
Although the younger sister is young, she is very sensible, never cries or makes trouble, and waits quietly for her brother.
The county's living standards are relatively high, the cost is relatively large, and Hong Zhanhui has returned to his old business and started a small business. In high school, he sold refills, books, and tapes, all of which were related to learning.
He said that if these things do not feel good for him, they will be returned for free. In the eyes of his classmates, Hong Zhanhui tried to make money because he loved money. He also never explains.
Fate always likes to joke. In the sophomore year of high school, my father fell ill again and needed to be hospitalized. Hong Zhanhui ran around and borrowed money for his father's treatment.
While busy with his studies and taking care of his father, because Hong Zhanhui really did not have so much time and energy, nor did he have the money to pay for tuition, he chose to drop out of school.
Fortunately, in 2000, his father's illness was brought under control, and Hong Zhanhui returned to the campus with the help of his teachers. Hong Zhanhui understood that he could not do anything without knowledge, so he also found a school for his sister who was old at school.
Because the opportunity to return to campus is very precious, Hong Zhanhui studied even harder.
A new high school life began, and unlike before, he had a new job, which was to tutor his sister in her studies. In order to earn living expenses, Hong Zhanhui worked in a bun shop, because breakfast was free, he ate a lot of buns, saving money for lunch and dinner. Life is bumpy, but it's always moving forward.
In 2002, his father fell ill again, and Hong Zhanhui had to send his father to a mental hospital. The hospital learned of his deeds and voluntarily waived the hospitalization fee. My younger brother, who is in the first year of junior high school, also dropped out of school to go out to work. Hong Zhanhui started a book business to make money again, and he also met many friends.
Many people knew about Hong Zhanhui's deeds and reached out to him one after another. But he refused, saying that if he accepted it, he would lose the motivation to climb up, and he didn't want to be a mediocre person who didn't know how to work hard. Hong Zhanhui also later became a love fund, which was specially used to help those who were poor.
After graduating from university, Hong Zhanhui had a very good job, serving as the assistant to the president and the secretary of the Youth League Committee at the Hunan Information Institute, with a bright future. In 2017, the boy, who rejected many well-known businesses, made an unexpected decision to start his own school.
Hong Zhanhui believes that everyone is helping him in the most difficult times, and he wants to repay them now. Hong Zhanhui founded the Changsha Xianghua Secondary Vocational School in Changsha, and many children regained their enthusiasm for life with his help. My sister also became a kindergarten teacher. Life will always be fine.
Hong Zhanhui wrote his wish on his blog: he wanted to be a child. No one wants to carry the weight forward, just because there is no dependence. Hong Zhanhui finally overcame the tribulation with his indomitable determination, he told us that life should be fought, standing behind the flowers can never move forward.
