Peng Qinglin thinks: I am not a good person, just an ordinary person. And responded to the refusal to donate in the live broadcast: "Have you ever thought about one thing, why do people give you 100,000 yuan? I often say a sentence during the live broadcast, that is, the more you care about something, the easier it is to be trapped by something." ”
On June 13, 2023, Peng Qinglin, a takeaway brother in Hangzhou, jumped into the river to save a woman who committed suicide, which attracted attention from all walks of life.
I appeal to everyone to stop donating money
Since June 13, Peng Qinglin jumped off the Xixing Bridge in Hangzhou, risking his life to save a woman he didn't know, and his thin figure broke into everyone's field of vision. An ordinary takeaway brother showed the responsibility of an ordinary person before the crisis, which moved countless netizens and touched thousands of people across the country, and surrounded him with honors, bonuses, and warmth, conveying kindness and love.

On June 16, Liang Gaowu, deputy secretary of the Sangzhi County Party Committee and county magistrate of Hunan Province, specially came to Peng Qinglin's ward and brought him Sangzhi white tea from his hometown, 100,000 yuan government incentive fund, and greetings from his hometown, hoping that he could recover as soon as possible, and representatives of local enterprises also came to the scene to express condolences. Miss Sang Zhi, the youth representative, sent a beautiful bouquet to Peng Qinglin, and the girl said that Peng Qinglin was the brightest "star" in the local area, and the trip was a success in chasing stars.

Peng Qinglin is a dashing person, since 2012, he began to ride all over the country, running all over Guangxi, Guangdong, Zhejiang, and even cycling from Guangzhou to Tibet, making all kinds of friends along the way, chatting and shooting videos.
"I like to follow my heart and don't care so much about what others think of me, it's not that others say you're doing well, but what you think. Peng Qinglin said that what he wants is happiness that does not go against his heart, and obedience to the goodness of his heart, "I really don't care about material aspects." ”
So many people have sent honors and bonuses to this young man, Peng Qinglin hopes to send the money to the place where it is needed, he took Liang Gaowu's hand and said, "I have been in the society, I understand the importance of education too well, I hope to develop education in my hometown." I want to donate all the money donated by the company to the school in my hometown, so that the children can study hard and spread the idea of helpfulness to the children from an early age. ”
Peng Qinglin said that these are his inner thoughts, "I don't want more personal donations, I really appreciate everyone's kindness, but I hope that everyone can use the money where they are more needed, and where I am needed, I will continue to help everyone." ”
Set up a charity center to sponsor students
On September 10 this year, the Sangzhi County Party Committee and County Government held the "Peng Qinglin Love Public Welfare Center Donation Ceremony" for Peng Qinglin. That night, the New Yellow River reporter learned from Peng Qinglin that on the day of the event, he issued a total of 78,000 yuan in grants to 24 economically disadvantaged students in the county.

At the beginning, lying on the hospital bed, in the face of various awards and donations from Hangzhou and Sangzhi County, Peng Qinglin has always adhered to a principle in his heart: the honor and rewards given by the government can be accepted, but the rewards and donations from enterprises and individuals are resolutely not accepted.
On June 16, the Sangzhi County Party Committee and County Government rewarded Peng Qinglin with 100,000 yuan for righteousness and bravery. A real estate enterprise in Sangzhi County rewarded him with a set of existing houses in Sangzhi County, and a number of entrepreneurs in the county jointly funded Peng Qinglin with 120,000 yuan, and the Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce in Zhangjiajie City rewarded him with 50,000 yuan.
Peng Qinglin put forward his own principles on the spot. The mother on the side also said: "We don't accept the house and money, and my son also said that this money is all hard-earned money from other people's enterprises, and if you want to donate, you can donate the money to the school." ”
Peng Qinglin's idea was unanimously agreed by the entrepreneurs and strongly supported by the Sangzhi County Government Department. After Peng Qinglin fully recovered, he deliberately rushed back to his hometown Sangzhi County from Hangzhou in mid-August to further communicate with relevant departments and enterprises in the county, and finally registered and established the "Peng Qinglin Love Public Welfare Center" in the county Civil Affairs Bureau. He poured all the donations from entrepreneurs into the account of the public welfare center.
On September 10, the Sangzhi County Party Committee and County Government held the "Peng Qinglin Love Public Welfare Center Donation Ceremony" for Peng Qinglin: 24 high school students and students who had just been admitted to university in the county received subsidies ranging from 2,000 yuan and 5,000 yuan respectively.

Peng Qinglin was a left-behind child in a mountain village when he was a child, and his family's economic conditions were not good, and his parents went out to work. When he was a student, he received a donation from a caring enterprise in the county. He recalled that due to the long time, he no longer remembered the name of the company, but he was always very grateful in his heart, and thought many times that when he grew up and was able, he would also do public welfare to help left-behind children.
"Thank you for giving me a platform and giving me an opportunity to help others. Peng Qinglin told the New Yellow River reporter, "The 'Peng Qinglin Love Public Welfare Center' plans to use part of the funds for students who are serious and active in their studies and have difficulties in family conditions. This sponsorship of the first batch of 24 students is just an attempt and a beginning of my public welfare activities, and the next step is to think about how to continue the public welfare activities in the later stage. ”
After recovery, he learned while running takeaways to improve his Xi
After jumping into the river to save people, after a brief few months of recuperation, Peng Qinglin had already resumed his work as a delivery boy in September this year, but his work location was changed from Xihu District to Shangcheng District.

The house was newly rented by Peng Qinglin a few months ago, with two bedrooms and one living room, less than 70 square meters, which is relatively better than the previous residence.
In addition to these, Peng Qinglin has to participate in activities and give interviews from time to time, which makes him feel more tired than before. In order to squeeze in more free time, he would often send it to 2 a.m., "one or two more shifts a day, so that I could spare one or two days a week." ”
In the past, he didn't have a clear plan for the future, and what he thought about every day was to deliver today's order. "Now I have the opportunity to go to university, and after I get my degree, I will have more development directions, and I may enter the management team, become a stationmaster or a city manager. After getting his degree, he plans to continue to improve his education.

For him, jumping into the river to save people and everything that happened next was an accident, which brought Peng Qinglin countless honors, but he said that these were not what he wanted, "This is what you forcibly put on my head, not what I wanted, not what I obtained by my own efforts, I am not qualified to judge, and I have no idea about these." ”

"At that time, there were a lot of people who wanted to donate money to me, and I counted it, and it was about 1 million yuan. I wondered why I was given money, and if I took it, would I be tied up, and no one could predict the consequences. Peng Qinglin said.
Turn off tipping and don't want to live stream
On December 15, Peng Qinglin opened the live broadcast of the video platform. He said: "I just like (live broadcast), I'm too busy, I haven't broadcast live for almost half a month." But he turned off the tipping feature.
After being discharged from the hospital after saving people from injuries, Peng Qinglin once avoided "traffic" for about a month, did not attend events and did not accept interviews. A month later, he thought "it's not hot, it's okay", so he resumed his activities, but it was immediately and continuously reported.
The accident brought continuous heat to Peng Qinglin, and also troubled him. The label given to him by the outside world stood there, which made him a little constrained.
It's not like he doesn't want that attention, though. "Whether you have attention or not, I'm just like everyone else, just like you. I also make mistakes, and sometimes I hold a person too high, and I tend to fall even harder. I do not reject or reject these concerns from the outside world, and I will not be disappointed without expectations. ”
In the online world, he is Peng Qinglin, a takeaway brother who jumped into the river to save people, a good person in Hangzhou, and an activist who is brave in the face of righteousness, these identities make him only cautious in his words and deeds. Of course, he never considered himself a hero. "The concept of hero is not like this, you can call me a brave takeaway brother, don't call me a hero, I don't match the word hero. ”
In the real world, he is an ordinary takeaway brother, working alone in Hangzhou for a living, although he just settled in Hangzhou some time ago, he still can't afford to buy a house, "still no car, no house, no wife, no deposit, no personnel." "He is a very direct person, and when he encounters something he is not used to, he will want to scold him, and he will also be irritated because the customer does not write an address or cannot get through the phone.

But when the reporter mentioned whether he had thought about using the current popularity of live broadcast to bring goods, Peng Qinglin was a little disdainful, feeling that those were not long-term and meaningless. "Seeing that they make a lot of money, but in fact, it's nothing after this limelight, if I go to bring goods in June, and I make money, even if it won't cool down immediately, but it's to that extent. The pattern should be open, not limited to immediate interests. ”
He said that there have also been merchants who have asked him to bring goods live and even offered millions of high prices. "Even if you can earn 10 million yuan with your popularity, it's nothing more than buying a house and a car, what should I do after the money is spent?"
"Anything should not only be judged by its benefits, but also by its pros and cons. Peng Qinglin feels that the money brought by popularity and traffic is just that money, and the rest is nothing, so it is better to improve yourself in a down-to-earth manner and make yourself better. If one day these traffic and popularity are gone, he will not feel lost. "What is on the Internet is nihilistic after all, and it is not as reliable as being down-to-earth. ”
Peng Qinglin said that he should open a small yellow car on his social platform and sell tickets for his hometown tourist attractions. "The traffic is here, and it's actually a pity not to use it, people always have to move forward. If one day I really go to the live broadcast to bring goods, it is also to do meaningful things and earn money with conscience, such as helping farmers live broadcast. ”
