In 2021, CCTV's "Vietnam War and More Courage" column invited a girl, on the show, the girl sang a song "Father" affectionately, used to express her gratitude to her father. Through the introduction, we learned that this 25-year-old girl turned out to be a strong woman worth more than ten million, but she resolutely sold the company and is safely accompanying her adoptive father on a tour.
The girl interpreted it with practical actions
"You raised me to grow up, I grew old with you"
Life promises, however, once her deeds were announced, they caused everyone to be puzzled, there are many ways to filial piety to her father, why choose to give up her career?
As the girl told, a touching and profound story gradually appeared in front of everyone.
Scavenger old man, baby girl left behind
The girl's name is Zhang Baige, and the father Zhang Shuangqi she wants to thank in the show is actually not his biological father, but her adoptive father.
In March 1997, Not long after her birth, Zhang Baige was packed in a cardboard box by her biological parents and abandoned on the side of the road, and no one knew who her parents were or why she was abandoned to the side of the road.
Many onlookers gathered on the side of the road, looking at this poor baby, everyone talked about it but no one reached out to help, until Zhang Shuangqi appeared, and the fate of this abandoned baby took a turn for the better.
At that time, Zhang Shuangqi was already fifty years old, in order to support his family, he worked in Luoyang, this day, on the way to work, he saw a bustling crowd of onlookers, out of curiosity, he also watched, this time the hilarity also became the beginning of the story.
After Zhang Shuangqi climbed up, he found that people were watching an abandoned baby, the child was placed in a cardboard box, and his body was very weak, like a child who had just been born.
The crowd of onlookers are talking about each other, some people are accusing the child's parents of why they cruelly abandoned the child here; some people are hurting the child, and some people are speculating about the reason why the biological parents abandoned the child... In short, no one dared to go up and take the child.
It was March, the weather in Henan was warm and cold, not completely warm, and the cool breeze blowing over was still very harsh.
Surrounded by the crowd, the poor baby girl was crying with tears in her heart and lungs, and her little face was flushed. This made Zhang Shuangqi, who was watching, feel a pang of pain, and he could not bear to let the baby girl starve here, and he became sympathetic and carried the child to the car.
After returning home, Zhang Shuangqi rummaged through the cardboard box in which the baby girl was discarded, and did not find any information or clues about the baby girl. What is the child's last name, when was he born... Nothing is known about all the information.
The 50-year-old Zhang Shuangqi does not have any experience with children, and for this child of unknown origin, he is also helpless and does not know what to do, he can only take the child to the neighborhood committee, and explain the situation of picking up the child to the neighborhood committee one by one.
After the neighborhood committee learned about the situation in detail, it hurriedly sent someone to inquire about the whereabouts of the children's parents and arranged for two women volunteers to help take care of the children.
Time passed day by day, there was no news about the child's life, Zhang Shuangqi gradually understood that the child was deliberately abandoned by her biological parents, and the reason for the abandonment was probably because she was a girl.
You know, in the 90s of last century, the phenomenon of son preference was very serious, and under the influence of the fertility policy at that time, it was very difficult to have a second child;
However, the ideas of "raising children and preventing the elderly" and "passing on the generations" are deeply rooted, especially in the countryside, if there are no boys, they will be poked in the spine.
No way, families who want boys, after the first child is a girl, will choose to abandon the girl and regenerate the boy.
Thinking of this, Zhang Shuangqi was a little unbearable, for him, men and women are equal, giving birth to boys and girls are the same, he decided to adopt this female abandoned baby himself.
When Zhang Shuangqi proposed to adopt a "female abandoned baby", the village chief was a little surprised, Zhang Shuangqi was 50 years old, no money and no marriage, and now with another child, it is even more difficult to find a partner, but Zhang Shuangqi did not think so, but just made up his mind to adopt this girl.
Looking at the white and pure child, Zhang Shuangqi named her "Zhang Bai Pigeon", hoping that she would be able to fly freely like a white pigeon in the future and live an unfettered and happy life.
Selfless dedication, rebellious youth
As we all know, raising a child is far from as simple as imagined, not to mention, a poor and unmarried middle-aged man, the difficulty of raising a child can be imagined, and the pain may only be known to him.
In the beginning, a clumsy big man could not even feed milk powder, but after asking the neighbor for advice, he knew how to make milk powder for the child to drink.
There were no women in the family, no children, and after Zhang Baige arrived, he only had a set of clothes he wore when he was picked up, and Zhang Shuangqi took out his few savings and pleaded with the neighbors to help the children make several sets of clothes and diapers.
Villagers recall that during that time, whenever they passed by Zhang Shuangqi's home, they could see a thin old man who was less than one meter and five meters tall, often holding a child who was crying and crying in his arms, busy feeding milk powder, and busy changing diapers.
This hectic rhythm also gives Zhang Shuangqi's life full of color, originally his life trajectory is two points and one line, commuting to work, factory and home, life is monotonous and boring, without any worries.
Since having Zhang Baige, his life has become more bright and warm, and his life has also been more running.
Originally, when Zhang Shuangqi was alone, one person ate enough for the whole family not to be hungry, and the meager income could barely support daily expenses, but after having one more daughter, the cost of living suddenly increased a lot.
Originally, when he was alone, he could live a hard life and save money, but after having more children, Zhang Shuangqi could not bear to let his daughter suffer with him, he always wanted to create a better living environment for his daughter, and when her daughter grew up, she would send her daughter to study and go to school.
However, the little money earned now is simply not enough, what to do? In addition to working normally, Zhang Shuangqi began to pick up garbage, herd sheep for people, miscellaneous, all the work that can make money, he never picks, as long as he can make money, he will go to work hard, for his daughter, he can pay everything.
A few years passed, Zhang Baige reached the age of school, and his adoptive father borrowed some money from the neighbors in the village, plus the money he had saved from his usual thrift, and finally made up enough tuition and sent Zhang Baige to school.
Life is very poor, but it is also very happy, but as the child grows up, the relationship between her and her father has cracked.
After going to junior high school, the sensitive girl found that she was not the same as the classmates around her, everyone had endless new clothes to wear, but she was living very poorly, only a few clothes, changing back and forth, and some clothes had been washed white.
At the end of school, the parents of the classmates dressed beautifully to pick them up, while their own father was picking up garbage on the side of the road in a gray face, which made Zhang Baige have a deep sense of inferiority in his heart.
The girl's feeling of inferiority affected her for a long time.
In an interview, Zhang Baige recounted that once after school, it was raining heavily outside, and when she walked out of the school gate, she recognized her father at a glance among a group of parents, a short and old scavenger man, dirty and torn, and holding a garbage bottle that she did not know where to pick up.
Such a person, every time after school, looking around in the crowd to find herself, at that time she was not moved, but felt that her father had humiliated herself, she felt very ashamed, she did not want her classmates to see that she had such a father.
So after school, Zhang Baige immediately hid behind pedestrians, pretended not to see his father, and quietly slipped out of the school gate, hiding in a corner waiting for his classmates and parents to leave.
After a long time, after the crowd gradually dispersed, Zhang Baige appeared in front of her father and told her father not to come to the school to pick her up in the future.
Zhang Shuangqi was stunned for a moment, looked down at his clothes, he suddenly understood, since then, for the sake of his daughter's self-esteem, he has never gone out to pick up garbage during the day, every time he waits for Zhang Baige to finish school, and then go out after doing his homework, until the early morning.
Zhang Shuangqi has been working hard, but their lives are still very tight, Zhang Baige's tuition fees are also patchwork together, in order to provide Zhang Baige with school, the family's expenses can be saved, in the most difficult life, even eating some pickles is a luxury.
To what extent they are difficult, ordinary people can not imagine, they have a toon tree planted in their backyard, every spring, Zhang Shuangqi will pick the toon, pickled up as pickles under the rice to eat, a whole month to eat toon pickles is a common thing.
For Zhang Shuangqi, after half a lifetime of hard days, this bit of bitterness can still bear, but Zhang Baige is different, her long body needs nutrition, and children in adolescence, especially girls, are particularly sensitive.
She always unconsciously compared her family with other people's families, watching other people's families eat different dishes every day, there are fish and meat, but she can only eat pickles, and the various snacks in the hands of her classmates, she has never even seen it.
As soon as she thought of this, Zhang Baige felt very aggrieved, and once, she lost her temper with her father, and even lifted the table in one breath. In the face of his daughter's excessive behavior, Zhang Shuangqi did not even say a word of seriousness.
Later, in the program, when Zhang Baige mentioned these things, Zhang Shuangqi only laughed a little and said"
She was small and didn't understand things."
。
Gradually, Zhang Baige also gradually understood that it was not easy for her father to earn money, and when she was in high school, Zhang Shuangqi worked hard while cutting down on food and clothing to the greatest extent.
In the half month that Zhang Baige lived in the school, Zhang Shuangqi almost immediately boiled steamed buns or boiled noodles in water, just so that he could save more money and let his daughter go out of the village to have a better development.
Give up reading and work hard to start a business
Seeing that her father's life was so difficult, Zhang Baige, who was still in high school, had already understood a lot, and she secretly resolved that after graduating from high school, she would no longer study, and she would go out to work to reduce the burden on her father and shoulder the responsibilities she should bear.
Zhang Shuangqi, who does not have much culture, still knows the importance of reading, so he has communicated with his daughter many times, hoping that her daughter can continue to go to school and have a better life in the future when she is admitted to college.
Under the persuasion of his father, Zhang Baige was about to waver and continue to go to school without going out to work. It was also during this period that Zhang Baige unexpectedly learned from his neighbors:
She is an abandoned baby, and her father, Zhang Shuangqi, who was once disgusted, is not her biological father.
When he first learned about this, Zhang Baige's brain was blank, a person who had no blood relationship with himself, but he was so good to himself, he almost gave everything for himself, but he once hated him incomparably... Suddenly, Zhang Baige felt very guilty and said that he would not continue to go to school anymore.
Looking at his daughter who was crying and drooling, Zhang Shuangqi no longer stopped her daughter's decision.
After graduating from high school, Zhang Baige went to the city to work as a waiter, and her monthly salary was only 800 yuan, and she used this small amount of money to buy a clean and soft mattress for her father. It was the first time her father, who was over 60 years old, had slept in such a good bed.
Zhang Shuangqi didn't have any culture, didn't know what language to use to express his feelings, and smiled at his daughter vigorously.
Looking at his father's satisfied expression, Zhang Baige vowed that he must make more money and give his father a bigger house and a better car.
In order to have better development and make more money, Zhang Baige went to Beijing and did North Drift. She has done a lot of work, such as shopping guide clothing, makeup, stalls, etc., no matter how hard and tiring the work, she is not abandoned, as long as she can make money, she is willing to try any job.
However, the high-intensity work quickly dragged down her body, and one day, Zhang Baige felt that his stomach was really painful, and accompanied by his father, he went to the hospital for examination, and this examination, Zhang Baige was found to have kidney disease.
The doctor said that when it was serious, it would be life-threatening, and Zhang Baige could only suspend his work, treat the disease with peace of mind, and travel with his father between the hospital and the rental house every day.
After a period of treatment and recuperation, Zhang Baige's health gradually improved, and during the period of illness treatment, the family that had been improving became destitute due to a serious illness.
In order not to let his daughter worry, but also in order to make money to subsidize the family, the father has to work hard every day, in order to take care of his daughter, the father is also responsible for three meals a day, instructs his daughter to take medicine, and even at night will make a good foot wash and put it next to his daughter's bed.
In a place with high consumption in Beijing, Zhang Shuangqi's few odd jobs are not enough to maintain daily expenses, and they have no choice but to return to their hometown in Henan to recuperate.
During that time, Zhang Baige's mood was very unstable, and he even had the idea of taking his own life, but in the blink of an eye, seeing his father who was working hard for himself, Zhang Baige couldn't bear to leave this world.
With the improvement of her health, Zhang Baige began to work again, fortunately, this time, she caught up with the trend of the times.
Zhang Baige went to Guangzhou to break in, just in time for the outlet period of e-commerce live broadcasting, she won the first bucket of gold in her life through the work of skin care products e-commerce, and then set up a studio, in the daily live broadcast, Zhang Baige's career is getting bigger and bigger, and her pocket is getting bigger and bigger, after this, she successfully bought her first car and has a big team.
Sell the company and take your father on a trip
After several years of hard work, Zhang Baige's company annual profit of several million, her value has exceeded ten million, zhang Baige, who has achieved a small career, quickly took his father to the city life, but found that his father did not adapt to urban life, many new products, the father has not even seen it, the city is easy to get lost, the father can only stay in the small building, it seems to be so lonely.

At this moment, life once again made a joke with them, and after several years of hard work, Zhang Baige's body had problems again. This time it came more quickly and more seriously than the first time, and Zhang Baige could only suspend his work and go to the hospital for surgery.
It was also this operation that made her suddenly realize that her father was more than seventy years old, and her own health was not good, if she was immersed in such a high-intensity work every day, how many days were left for her to accompany her father?
Thinking of this, Zhang Baige suddenly found that in fact, how much money she made was not her biggest dream and goal, what she hoped most was to make her father happy.
In 2021, Zhang Baige, who was worth tens of millions, sold the company, spent 660,000 yuan to buy a caravan, and took his father on a trip that he could go.
Along the way, they went to many places, tasted the special food and snacks from all over the world, enjoyed the scenery along the way, saw the Yanliu Painting Bridge in Jiangnan, felt the customs of the ethnic minorities in Yunnan, and witnessed the prosperity of the magic capital Shanghai.
On May 26, 2021, Zhang Baige took her father to the stage of CCTV, told the story of her father in front of the national audience, and also told his father all about his inner gratitude and adolescent rebellion.
She said that she would never forget her father's kindness to her, and Zhang Shuangqi looked at her daughter who accompanied her and said that Zhang Baige was the best gift given to him by heaven.
Zhang Baige's matter is known to more and more people, many people ask Zhang Baige, whether he is willing to take the opportunity to travel, looking for his own parents, to this, Zhang Baige replied,
I already have the greatest love in the world, and biological parents are no longer so necessary.
Zhang Baige's story attracted the attention of tv stations, and CCTV Three Sets, Chongqing Satellite TV, Tianjin Satellite TV and other columns invited the two to the stage to tell their stories. The host said that although Zhang Baige's father is not the tallest, his father's love is the most magnificent.
Now, Zhang Baige has taken her father back on the journey, in their stories, blood relations, the grace of fertility is no longer important, although the two people are not biological fathers and daughters, but the feelings between them are deeper than many biological fathers and daughters.
Zhang Shuangqi interpreted his father's love with practical actions, and Zhang Baige also used practical actions to show that he was the most filial adopted daughter.

There are still many baby girls in this world like Zhang Baige, who were abandoned at an early age; not everyone can meet a father who has no reservations about her like Zhang Baige.
We hope that all the girls who have been abandoned can meet such a kind, simple and selfless person as Zhang Shuangqi; we also hope that they can live their wonderful lives like Zhang Baige, and they hope that like Zhang Baige, they can "drip the grace of water, repay each other with springs", do not forget the grace of parenting after they leave, and have the sincere affection of "you raise me to grow up, I accompany you to grow old".
The most respectable is the old man Zhang Shuangqi, who adopted the female abandoned baby, that is, he looked at the child pitifully, and did not think about how much return he could have in the future. At that time, although he was poor, within the scope of his cognitive ability, he gave his daughter the best of everything, and 24 years later, his daughter's tens of millions of strong women also gave Zhang Shuangqi the return he deserved, which is what Zhang Shuangqi said: His daughter is the best gift from heaven!
