The white paper "China's Comprehensive Well-off" was recently published: China's comprehensive well-off is the result of hard work. There is no other way to live a good life than to struggle.
Well-off is not a simple number, but a real life that you and the people around you can see and feel. CCTV News launched a column: "Our Days Have a Head", telling a vivid and vivid story of well-off.
Today's story begins with a photo from 11 years ago.
The photo was taken in 2010 and has been widely circulated online. In the photo, Chongqing "lollipop" Ran Guanghui carried more than 100 kilograms of goods, led his 3-year-old son, and walked down the ladder next to the Chaotianmen wholesale market in Chongqing. Some people say, "He carries life on his shoulders and the future in his hands". 11 years later, now, how is his life?
"Shoulder to shoulder life, hand in hand to the future"
The photos of him and his son are well known
Ran Guanghui originally worked as a farmer in his hometown in Jijiang, Chongqing. When the farmer was idle, he would go to the various docks and shopping malls in the city to help people pick up goods and supplement their families. In 2009, in order to live a better life for the family, Ran Guanghui made an important decision: to go to the city with his family. Ran Guanghui, who was 40 years old at the time, went to Chongqing to do a full-time "lollipop".
In the first few years, Ran Guanghui's family rented a dilapidated shantytown, a small rental house, the family lived in a very crowded, children can only support a small table next to the stove, through the kitchen light to do homework. At that time, Ran Guanghui always wanted to have a house of his own.
△ In 2015, the shantytown rented by Ran Guanghui and many "lollipops" has now been demolished.
In order to realize this dream, Ran Guanghui worked hard.
365 days a year, Ran Guanghui has almost 350 days of carrying goods and shipping, rain or shine. Every morning before dawn, he went out to work, sometimes late at night, and even did not sleep for 24 hours at the hardest time.
When carrying goods, Ran Guanghui is mostly bare-chested. Even in the cold and windy winter, he would take off his clothes and grasp the hemp rope hard. "It's not that I don't pay attention to civilization, my clothes are slippery and slippery, and I take them off to carry them better." Every time he finishes carrying the goods, he will quickly get dressed and wait for the next business.
Grasping the goods with his hands for many years, Ran Guanghui's palms not only have many calluses, but also the knuckles of the fingers are seriously deformed, like bamboo knots, and each knuckle is bulging outward. But it is the strength of this eagle's claw that ensures that the goods are firmly grasped.
Due to the long-term bending down to carry heavy objects, Ran Guanghui's waist also had problems at one time, and when he was sick, it hurt to take a few steps. But even if it was difficult, Ran Guanghui never wanted to give up. "Although the work is relatively hard, basically relying on strength to earn money, whenever I think that through my own hard work, I can make my wife and children live better, and I don't feel tired."
At that time, because Ran Guanghui's wife worked in a restaurant and could not take the child, Ran Guanghui took his son Ran Junchao to carry the goods. Ran Guanghui said, "Do my job, be free." I took the child all the way with me at any time, carrying the goods and holding him at the same time. ”
Carry it one by one
He carried out a suite in the city center
Relying on a package of goods to carry a bag of goods, in 2016, Ran Guanghui took out a loan to buy a 60-square-meter second-hand house near Chongqing's most famous landmark, the "Liberation Monument".
This house, Ran Guanghui is particularly cherished, the son no longer has to rub the kitchen lights to do homework, the family does not have to worry about rain and water leakage, do not worry about no place to bathe.
Wife Qu Guangfang still remembers that on the first day of moving into the new house, the two of them sat on the living room sofa for a long time, looked at each other and laughed, laughed and laughed, and she burst into tears, "This home is not easy, he has worked hard to carry out." ”
With a house, there is a backbone. Although there are still a lot of mortgages to be repaid, the family's life is getting more and more exciting. "Now the mortgage is getting less and less, and the pressure of life is much easier than before, full of happiness."
Refuse to be an influencer
"I'm just a guy who works hard to eat."
With more and more media attention, Ran Guanghui has also become a little famous, and some people have asked him to do full-time business endorsements, promising to guarantee the bottom income, and the commission is still quite large. Everyone advised him to go: "Old Ran, this is not much easier than working, don't hurry up!" In the face of the influx of invitations, Ran Guanghui refused, saying, "When internet celebrities are not suitable for me, I am a person who works hard to eat." Lollipop (this job) is tired, but rely on his own hands and rely on strength to make money in his heart. ”
When asked how long he was going to work on the "lollipop", Ran Guanghui thought about it and said, "I will talk about it until I can't do it, and now I will raise my son first." When it comes to his son who is in the third year of junior high school, Ran Guanghui is full of pride, "The child is very sensible, and after doing his homework during the holidays, he will help us cook rice and do housework." Today, Ran Guanghui's greatest wish is to work hard and save more money for his children to study.
In late July this year, the Henan flood, Ran Guanghui also took the initiative to donate 1,000 yuan. Ran Guanghui said: "As an ordinary citizen, I do my best, although the money is not much, it is also my heart. ”
Good days can't wait, they can't come, only struggle can create happiness. Ran Guanghui uses his own strength to make the family's life better and better, he is actually the epitome of many ordinary Chinese. It is precisely because of the concerted efforts and unremitting struggle of these thousands of small families that the beautiful vision of a well-off society has finally become a reality.
