In 2007, an ordinary soldier touched all of China, his name was Meng Xiangbin. At the "Moving China" character award ceremony, the acceptance speech awarded to him by the organizing committee was written like this, and he saved another life with a brilliant fall. Don't ask if the value is worth it. The value of life is never reflected in exchange. He slept in the icy waters of the river and gave us a warm revelation. When Meng Xiangbin sacrificed himself to save others, his daughter Meng Shiyan was only three years old. Now, 15 years later, Meng Shiyan has graduated from high school, and what is even more surprising is that she was admitted to her father Meng Xiangbin's alma mater, the People's Liberation Army Information Engineering University, with an excellent achievement of 622 points this year.
Zhu Kaili, Ms. Meng's high school homeroom teacher, said that from her sophomore year of high school, Ms. Meng had set a goal to go to the same university as her father in the future. In the past few years of high school, Meng Shiyan has been working towards this goal. Especially since the second semester of my sophomore year of high school, I have been very serious and hardworking. For Meng Shiyan, this is a new starting point, and there are more dreams waiting for her to realize in the future. When Meng Shiyan was a child, I understood my father's behavior very well, it was his unrepentant leap, so that he lost the father's love that others had from childhood, but as she grew up, especially when she grew up in the aura of heroes and the care of society, Meng Shiyan gradually understood his choice and understood the great righteousness of her father's small family for everyone. Meng Shiyan has now deeply realized the greatness of her father, perhaps in her own growth, her father has never been absent, and her father is using his life to teach himself how to be a person! Father was her greatest motivation to move forward.
On the morning of November 30, 2007, on the Chengnan Bridge in Jinhua, Meng Xiangbin and his wife and daughter happened to encounter a person who fell into the water, and he immediately took off his shoes and jumped into the nearly 10-high river. The river was too cold, Meng Xiangbin wore thick clothes, and tried his last strength to push the fallen youth into the motorboat, but he sank into the cold river water and sacrificed his life at the age of 28. Meng Xiangbin, a young officer who warmed a city because of one person, jumped into the river to save his daughter, but he sank into the river and forever fixed his life, only 28 years old.
We are very sorry for the hero's departure. But fortunately, their spirit was passed on. Although Meng Xiangbin's flesh has long gone, his spiritual will and love for the world have empowered his daughter more, which is definitely a microcosm of the strong Chinese spirit for father and daughter.
