Li Tong has lived alone for two years and started working in the third year of the new year
When his peers were still living under the protection of their parents and living a carefree life, Li Tong learned to be independent early.
Two years ago, Li Tong's mother fell ill, and in order to take care of her, his father quit his job in Xiamen and returned to his hometown to support the family expenses by working part-time. Li Tong, who stayed in Xiamen alone to study, was "forced" to grow up, not only learning to do housework and take care of himself, but also working part-time to earn rent while studying hard to subsidize living expenses with scholarships. "In the summer of my junior year of junior high school, I began to work as a summer vacation worker, and my first job was to work part-time as a waiter in a hotel. It seems that as long as the plate is served and the dish is passed, but the eight hours a day is tired, and the most important thing is to carry out mechanical labor day after day, which is very tired and boring. This experience made Li Tong personally realize the difficulty of entering social work, and also determined that he could not live a "meaningless" life in the future - he wanted to increase cultural knowledge and cultivate a skill.
In his three-year secondary school career, in addition to conscientiously studying the professional course content of classroom teaching, Li Tong also taught himself computer programming in his spare time. Every semester, his grades are among the best in the year, and he also participates in major professional skills competitions, works hard with the team members of the project team, and wins a series of honors for the school and individuals. "The scholarships distributed by the school and the prize money won by playing competitions later became my rent and living expenses, which was also one of the motivations for my continuous efforts to avoid asking my parents for money as much as possible." Li Tong said.
In his final year at the Industrial and Commercial Tourism School, Li Tong also secretly set himself a new goal: to be admitted to Xiamen University of Technology and receive a more professional education in the university classroom. Therefore, he took out the hard work he had never had before, studied hard, reviewed the knowledge of public courses and professional courses, and finally achieved excellent results in the secondary vocational academic level test and the higher vocational classification recruitment examination, and was admitted to the university of his choice as desired.
Li Tong said that it is a good thing to know in advance that life is not easy, although he once did not understand things and did not love to study, but it was good to realize in time, realize the importance of knowledge and culture, and seize the opportunity to further his studies. In the next few years, he will still participate in work-study, earn remuneration through his own labor, and strive to support himself earlier and contribute to the family.

Work site
Running and stooping, quickly completing the picking of hundreds of goods
A simple front-end warehouse can cover the surrounding 3 km-5 km of residential areas and business circles, and provide services to customers in a timely manner. Behind this, there is a need for sufficient manpower, picking, packing, distribution, replenishment... Each link cooperates with each other to achieve this.
As sorters in the front warehouse, Li Tong and Huang Cheng undertook the work of sorting goods. Whenever the order arrives, their barcode scanner will display the commodity information, quickly compare the information, shuttle through the shelves of the corridor to pick up the goods, and then hand the goods to the packer after completion, and work together to complete the final work before the delivery of the goods.
"The operation is not very difficult, and the working time of the day is not long, but the tiredness is highly processed, and we have to repeat the mechanical action while maintaining the efficiency of sorting." Huang Cheng told the Herald reporter that there are hundreds of kinds of goods in the warehouse, and whenever the order "hits", it is necessary to quickly look for it on the shelf, and it takes an average of three to five minutes to complete the picking. During peak hours, orders are constant, and they have to walk back and forth on the promenade, bending over, squatting, standing, and finding what they need. Just a few hours in the warehouse, WeChat step statistics can reach thousands of steps.
But for the hard work, the two only downplayed it, and they can earn remuneration through their own labor, which makes them feel full of accomplishment. "Compared to doing coolies outdoors on hot days, we are already very relaxed, the sorters can be skilled in their work, and we can get about 2,000 yuan a month after doing it." Make more money, save more money, and start school to reduce the burden on your family. Li Tong said.
Huang Cheng"Prodigal Son turned back" He no longer wasted time
Working part-time in Pupu Supermarket is Huang Cheng's first real work-study. Before that, he described himself as "ignorant of life and unprepared for the future."
It was in junior high school, and Huang Cheng, who was in a rebellious period, was addicted to playing games, playing with his classmates every day, and had no interest in learning, and his grades plummeted over time. During the middle school entrance examination, he missed the opportunity to attend ordinary high school and entered the Xiamen Industrial and Commercial Tourism School to start his secondary school career. "At that time, I thought that at least I still had books to read, to go to school, to play games, and I didn't have much thought about the future in my head." Huang Cheng recalled.
Change stems from family changes. "Our family has two children, my mother has no job, my father does the business of recycling old doors and windows, and his usual life is very frugal." Grandma has been in poor health for a long time, and Grandpa was hospitalized once because of a serious illness, which was a big blow to our family. Huang Cheng suddenly felt that this small family that was not rich was under tremendous pressure, and if he continued to muddle, he would not be able to share it for his parents in the future. Therefore, since last summer, he has regained the textbooks that he has neglected in his daily life, replenished his cultural knowledge little by little, enriched his reserves, and gradually improved his professional skills.
With the idea of "being admitted to a full-time undergraduate university", Huang Cheng made every effort to prepare for the secondary vocational academic level test and the higher vocational classification recruitment examination. Although the exam did not play well, only got 676 points, was admitted to the Quanzhou Information Engineering College, but he was not discouraged. "Now I believe that those who have lofty ideals can succeed, and going to college is the result of my own efforts, and I will cherish the opportunity to study hard." In the future, I also hope to improve my academic qualifications as much as possible. Huang Cheng said.
Because the family has a large population and the space for renting a house is relatively small, half a month ago, he moved out to share a room with his classmate Li Tong. Nowadays, their lives are two points and one line, in addition to working in the supermarket, they are studying university courses at home. Once did not love to read, now obsessed with knowledge, Huang Cheng is more and more keen to read, literature, philosophy, economics have entered the scope of his dabble. Before entering the university campus, he has set himself a goal: never waste time, and take all the certificates that can be tested to make himself more excellent.
