He was abandoned at birth, lived with his elderly father who was not related by blood, studied hard for ten years, and was admitted to the Zhejiang Police Academy, in order to make up for the tuition, he sold 70,000 watermelons in two months after the college entrance examination.
After his story was reported, he turned down donations from well-wishers, bent on earning all his tuition with his own hands. So did he end up earning enough tuition? What happened to him now?
This issue's Ziya Tong Fun Classmate Junior will take you to understand the story of this watermelon boy, Li Enhui.
Lee Eun-hui's childhood
In 2000, Li Enhui was born in Yongkang, Zhejiang. Li Enhui's mother was a wandering pregnant woman who was kindly taken in by Li Anming, a farmer in the village, when she wandered to Yongkang.
Not long after, under the care of Li Anming, the pregnant woman gave birth to a small child, and before the confinement, Li Enhui's mother left the child one night and quietly left Li Anming's home.
Li Anming likes children very much, but because the family has no money, he was busy making money to support himself when he was young, and now he is 51 years old and has no wife, and the arrival of this child makes Li Anming see hope.
Li Anming did not regard this child as a burden, but gave him the name Li Enhui, treating him as a treasure given to him by heaven. The children in the village did not like Li Enhui, and many villagers felt that Li Enhui's origin was unknown.
There is another mother like that, who does not let her children play with Li Enhui, Li Enhui has suffered a lot of white eyes in the village, and even Li Anming is not welcomed. Li Enhui has not had any memories of her mother since she was a child.
In his heart, his family only has Li Anming, the father, Li Anming regards Li Enhui as his own child and loves him like his biological father, even if Li Enhui does not have a mother, he grew up in love.
Li Anming's family has no money, plus he is already old, and he can't make any money, there is no way to give Li Enhui a better life, even if Li Anming loves Li Enhui very much, Li Enhui's life is still very difficult.
In order to reduce Li Anming's burden, Li Enhui put all her holidays on odd jobs when she went to school to earn living expenses for herself.
Li Enhui is a hard-working child, in addition to odd jobs, Li Enhui also shares more than half of the work at home, in school, his grades are also very good, in the years of school, Li Enhui is busy every day studying, doing odd jobs and doing housework.
Sell melons to earn tuition
In high school, the increase in study tasks made Li Enhui busier, and she could only sleep for a few hours a day. The busy life made Li Enhui feel a lot of pressure, and he also thought about giving up like this.
Whenever this happens, he always thinks of Li Anming waiting for him at home, Li Anming, who has aged, if he gives up, what should Li Anming do? In this way, Li Enhui persevered again and again.
During the college entrance examination, Li Enhui played very well and got a satisfactory score. When he got the admission notice, everyone was celebrating for Li Enhui and envious that Li Anming had taught a college student.
For the first time, so many people appeared in Li Enhui's house, and when the excitement passed, Li Enhui and Li Anming sat at home and sighed, and everyone only saw Li Enhui's good grades, but did not know that other Li Enhui had no money to pay tuition at all.
Li Enhui thought of many ways to make money, and made more than 10,000 in two months, which was too difficult for Li Enhui, but fortunately, someone gave Li Enhui a reliable suggestion to sell watermelons.
Summer is hot, many people like to buy watermelon home to eat, sell watermelon in the summer vacation, can make a lot of money, now is also the season of watermelon ripening, the purchase price is very cheap, Li Enhui is moved.
Li Enhui thought too simply about buying and selling, and on the first day of stalling, Li Enhui found that selling watermelons needed to shout loudly, but he was a shy person, and he opened his mouth countless times but was embarrassed to make a sound.
In this way, Li Enhui, who had no business experience, had almost zero income on the first day of setting up a stall. This made Li Enhui very frustrated, and at this pace, he simply could not save enough for tuition. Li Enhui began the process of learning art.
He found many stall owners to learn from the experience, and after the stall owners knew his story, they all took pity on the child and taught their skills to Li Enhui, just like that, Li Enhui began to pluck up the courage to shout, and the business of the watermelon stall was getting better and better.
The stall owners also help Lee promote his watermelons. Li Enhui found that if she wanted to save enough for tuition, she would have to sell more than 70,000 watermelons, and sell more than 70,000 watermelons in two months, which is almost impossible.
Admission to university
One day, probably too hot, Li Enhui was riding an electric car to deliver watermelons to customers, when she hit a telephone pole on the side of the road, and her head broke blood. This collision made Li Enhui enter the hospital and cost a lot of money.
Li Enhui was distressed, and before his body healed, Li Enhui ignored the doctors' obstruction and wanted to be discharged to sell watermelons. The doctors and nurses felt sorry for the child, and in order to ease his burden, everyone bought a lot of watermelons at his stall.
In this way, after one summer vacation, Li Enhui actually completed the impossible task and sold more than 70,000 watermelons. When Li Enhui was selling watermelons, he met a reporter, who reported Li Enhui's story.
After many people knew about this poor child, they wanted to donate money to help Li Enhui. But Li Eunhui rejected these donations, he just wanted to earn tuition through his own efforts, and he believed that he could do it.
Later, after learning his story, Li Enhui also exempted Li Enhui from tuition and miscellaneous fees and issued scholarships. Li Enhui entered the university with the tuition she earned during the summer.
Three years passed, and after graduating from Zhejiang Police Vocational School, Li Enhui was admitted to Zhejiang Gongshang University as a bachelor's degree. What many people didn't expect was that this kid who sold watermelons to save tuition started his old business during the summer vacation.
Fruit was sold, but this time Li Enhui's fruit stall was not just watermelon. Li Enhui's dream is still to become a police officer, and he is now studying at Zhejiang Gongshang University.
Li Enhui hopes that after graduating from college, he can be admitted to graduate school, he is moving towards his dream to see Li Enhui's story, if everyone watching is Li Enhui, will he choose to refuse this donation and choose to sell watermelons to earn tuition?
