In 2005, on the stage of the awards that touched China, a thin rural young man appeared, and when he took the stage, the words "strong, optimistic, brave" were displayed on the teleprompter.
The young man was also the youngest of the night's winners, just 23 years old. In the live interview, the young man said something like: "If I can, I want to really be a child....."
Behind this passage hides his unknown bitter experience, because his father is mentally ill, his mother runs away from home, and at the age of 13, he shoulders the burden of the whole family!
How difficult such a life is, I am afraid that most people will not be able to understand how difficult it is to study and support their families, but this is the whole life of young people.
The young man's name was Hong Zhanhui, and his deeds touched countless people after being reported. Now, a full 19 years have passed since he won the award.
After some hardships, what is Hong Zhanhui's living situation now? Today we are going to find the answer.

In 1982, the Hong family, located in a rural area of Xinhua County, Henan Province, welcomed their first child, whom his parents named Hong Zhanhui.
After Hong Zhanhui, there was a boy and a girl in the family, and although the life between the five was not rich, it also had the happiness unique to that era.
The parents worked hard to support their three children, and the children were also very well-behaved and sensible, especially Hong Zhanhui, the eldest son, who was the little helper of his parents since he had memory.
Whenever the farm is busy, Hong Zhanhui will not only take the initiative to do housework, but also take care of his brother and younger sister, so that his parents have no worries.
However, this peace and happiness came to an abrupt end when Hong Zhanhui was 12 years old, all because of his father's mental illness, and his father's illness brought the family into the abyss.
After many years, Hong Zhanhui still remembers what happened at home after school that day. On that day, as soon as he reached the door, he heard hysterical shouts and the sound of glass shattering from inside the house.
Hong Zhanhui ran into the house after a few steps, and the scene in front of him shocked him, only to see that the house was full of tears, and his mother's face was full of tears, as well as bruises in the blue and purple pieces.
And all this is because of the father's intermittent neurological disease attack, the mother tried to stop the father, but because of the difference in strength, Hong's mother was also beaten by her husband to fracture.
What made the family even more devastated was that after the father of the illness heard the cries of his one-year-old daughter, he was out of control to lift his daughter high, and then fell heavily on the ground, and the child unfortunately died.
In just one day, the originally happy home became fragmented, and the onset of his father's illness and the cries of his mother and brother made Hong Zhanhui tremble and tremble, and this was only the beginning of his miserable life.

After the onset of this illness, for a long time, Hong's father's mental state was normal, and soon after, Hong's father, who was out of the house, suddenly took back a baby girl.
The baby girl was picked up by Hong's father on the side of the road, because he fell to his daughter by mistake, Hong's father has always felt very guilty, so when he saw the baby girl crying on the side of the road, he didn't think about it and hugged her home.
For the arrival of this little sister, Hong Zhanhui and his brother were very happy, they were willing to give their share of the grain to their sister to eat, and they were willing to patiently coax her when her sister was crying.
But the good times did not last long, Hong's father's illness repeated again, each time the illness had to smash things, punch and kick his wife, Hong's mother finally could not stand her husband's beating, and had a terrible idea.
One day, her mother made a lot of steamed buns, and told Hong Zhanhui to take good care of herself and her younger siblings, and Hong Zhanhui, who did not know why, only nodded fiercely to reassure her mother.
He didn't know that his mother had run away from home, and that this had been gone for many years. Since his mother left, Hong Zhanhui seems to have grown up overnight, not only to study, but also to do farm work and work to support a family of four.
Childhood has just gone, the juvenile era has just begun, but the painful life has come to Hong Zhanhui's body, and he has no better choice but to accept the test and challenge of fate.
A hard life, while bitter, is often the best catalyst.
In order to pay the tuition fee and fill the family's stomach, Hong Zhanhui went to the farm work every day after school, and at the same time, he also wholesaled some cheap stationery to the school to sell.
As long as there is a little free time, Hong Zhanhui will go to work part-time, even if the salary is meager, he is never picky, in Hong Zhanhui's view, more earning, the family will not be hungry.
In addition to supporting the family, Hong Zhanhui is also a good brother, he urges his brother to study well, while taking good care of his sister, worried that his father will be sick and hurt his sister, and he will separate his father and sister every time he sleeps.
It was under such conditions that Hong Zhanhui completed his junior high school studies and was successfully admitted to the high school in the county, but the entrance examination was only the first step, and whether he could afford to read it was another matter.
Hong Zhanhui once again stood at the fork in the road of life and faced a difficult choice, but he believed that things were man-made, and as long as he did not admit defeat, he might break through the predicament.

In order to make up for tuition and living expenses, Hong Zhanhui embarked on the road of part-time work before the start of school, first serving dishes and washing dishes for restaurants, and then running to the construction site.
Because he was too young to do heavy work, Hong Zhanhui was responsible for lifting equipment or doing some light work for those workers at the construction site, and in that hot summer, Hong Zhanhui came out early and returned late every day, and finally earned more than seven hundred yuan.
But then new problems arose, and the father's onset became more and more frequent, and he was completely unable to take care of his sister. After thinking about it, Hong Zhanhui made a difficult decision to take his sister to study.
In order to take care of his sister, Hong Zhanhui can only rent a house outside the school, and the living expenses are more, the family still has his father to support, and his brother's tuition fees, all of which are pressed on him alone.
Escape is not the solution to the problem, conquest is.
After arriving in high school, Hong Zhanhui continued to work while studying, and sold some small commodities, although some people would give him a cold face and cold eyes, but Hong Zhanhui never cared.
Even if he was busy to the point of rotation, Hong Zhanhui was still forced to drop out of school by the difficulties of life, but fortunately, when the teacher knew about him, he came to his home again and again, hoping that he could return to school.
Hong Zhanhui promised the teacher that as long as he saved enough tuition, he would definitely return to the classroom, in fact, he was more eager to study than anyone, but the reality was sometimes so ruthless.
Because of family reasons, Hong Zhanhui, who could have completed high school in just three years, has been studying for five years. During this period, he fainted 16 times due to malnutrition and overwork.
During this period, Hong Zhanhui also had to take care of his sick father and tutor his sister's schoolwork, he was obviously only a teenager, but he had begun to stand up for his family.
Fortunately, after a local hospital learned about his family's situation, it agreed to accept Hong's father and treat him for free, while his sister was also very contentious and had excellent grades, but unfortunately his brother, because the family really could not pay the tuition, he could only drop out of school and go to work in other places.
After the college entrance examination, Hong Zhanhui chose Hunan Huaihua College, where tuition fees were lower, when his father was still hospitalized, and he could only entrust his sister to the care of his neighbors.
But when Hong Zhanhui returned home from vacation, he found that his sister had not only dropped out of school, but also had a dirty whole person, and at that moment he felt extremely remorseful in his heart.
This time, Hong Zhanhui once again made a decision to take his sister to Hunan to study, and after the teachers knew about Hong Zhanhui's situation, they not only arranged a separate place for him, but also sent his sister Hong to a nearby primary school to study.
For the help of teachers, Hong Zhanhui has always been grateful to his heart, and he also looks forward to the day when he can make a difference, return to the teacher, return to the school.
The child without an umbrella can only run desperately, Hong Zhanhui is like this, and he has a special backbone, when the school organization donated money to him, Hong Zhanhui refused, he felt that he had hands and feet, and could cope with the current dilemma.
In 2005, Hong Zhanhui was 23 years old, 11 years after his father's first onset of illness, and his mother had run away from home for 10 years.
This year, Hong Zhanhui's deeds spread throughout China, he also won the award of moving Chinese, standing on the stage of starlight, he had tears in the corners of his eyes, the hardships of this road can only be understood by those who have walked.

After moving China, Hong Zhanhui "became popular", many universities threw olive branches to let him go to undergraduate, and finally Hong Zhanhui chose Central South University and obtained a master's degree in 2011.
After experiencing the cold winter, Hong Zhanhui's life began to shine, and after the local government learned of their situation, it not only paid Hong's father's medical expenses, but also let his brother return to the campus to study again, which was also a comprehensive cost.
With the efforts of the doctors, Hong's father's condition improved day by day, and at this time, their mother also chose to return to the family, and the once nearly fragmented family was finally reunited.
Hong Zhanhui's brother and sister are also very angry, and the younger sister was admitted to a university in Beijing, a child who was once abandoned by his own parents, and although he did not live a life of fine clothes and jade food after coming to the Hong family, he received affection and love.
After graduation, Hong Zhanhui, because of his past experience, became a love ambassador of a domestic foundation, and he was often invited to give reports to different schools to encourage those students in difficult situations with his own personal experience.
The process was hard, but Hong Zhanhui enjoyed it and never charged a fee. In 2017, Hong Zhanhui did another big thing, coming to a vocational high school in Hunan as the principal.
Most of the children who came here to study were "problem teenagers", and during the military training, a student broke the rules and came out of the wall, when the instructor insisted on his expulsion.
But Hong Zhanhui knew what reading meant to the students, so he pleaded, "Keep him!" ”
The instructor knows Hong Zhanhui as a person, but how can the rules be broken at will? So, the instructor came up with a way to let Hong Zhanhui do 1,000 push-ups.
Unexpectedly, Hong Zhanhui didn't say two words and began to do it, one, two, three........ The first fifty Hong Zhanhui could still cope, but the more he got to the back, the harder he worked, the beads of sweat flowed down his cheeks, and his back was also soaked with sweat.
When the 1,000 push-ups were completed, Hong Zhanhui directly lay on the ground, and many students shed tears, when Hong Zhanhui said such a sentence: "When you feel that life is easy, someone must lift them up, carry the weight for them, once it was a parent, now it is me, but what about later?" You need to think about this question for a while. ”
Today, Hong Zhanhui is more and more determined on the road of education, he personally repays the society, so that more children have books to read, and his family life is also very happy, the sister he once took to study has been married, and he himself has a small family.
In fact, not everyone can get a good hand as soon as they are born, but as long as they don't give up lightly, you can still live your own wonderful.
In Hong Zhanhui's body, we see a kind of power, a force that can resist suffering, a force that comes from upwards....
