Bapro's monologue
At the age of 7, he began to live alone, and in the world of orphan Yang Liujin, wild grass and wild vegetables are necessary to survive.
With the help of well-wishers, he finally found his mother. I thought it was a happy reunion, but I was turned away.
In 2014, Yang Liujin, who was only 14 years old, took out 150,000 yuan at the recording site of the public welfare program "First Secretary" and donated it to the 30 children present.
With the introduction of the host, the story of Yang Liujin 14 years ago made everyone's eyes teary...... Little kid, what did he go through, and where did he get all this money?
A series of accidents
In 2000, Yang Liujin was born in a poor family surnamed Yang in Longlin De'e Town, Guangxi, and all the family's income sources came from farming.
As the first boy born in the family, everyone loves him, especially Yang Liujin's grandparents.
But the short 6-year happy experience has also become the only happy time in Yang Liujin's childhood.
One life accident after another completely changed his life.
When Yang Liujin was 6 years old, his younger brother was born.
This is not only a blessing for a poor family, but also an additional burden for the poor life.
My father said goodbye to decades of farming in the countryside and decided to go out to work like everyone else in the village.
However, misfortune happened.
One day, my father was still working on the construction site as usual, but because he was too tired, he suddenly suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and fell to the ground.
Workers rushed him to the hospital, but to no avail. The death of my father is undoubtedly a huge blow to a family.
But the so-called disaster is not a one-way street, on an ordinary morning, Yang Liujin got up as usual to make breakfast for his family.
only to find that my mother and younger brother had already disappeared with some of the remaining belongings and luggage.
Mom and brother are gone
In a panic, Yang Liujin left behind the firewood that was preparing to make a fire in his hand, as well as the two eggs that were only in the family.
He ran out of the house in the pair of white sneakers that his father had given him as a birthday present a few years ago, but now they were already in tatters.
Suddenly, Yang Liujin saw his grandmother who was sitting on the ridge crying, and his grandfather who was wearing a straw hat and sighing.
"Grandparents, where are my mother and brother?"
Grandpa sighed deeply and did not answer. In the dusty wind, the little Yang Liujin seemed to understand his grandfather's bitter speechlessness.
Not long after, Yang Liujin's grandfather accidentally fell while farming and crashed into a stone in the field and died unexpectedly.
Grandma also fell ill in the successive bad news, and soon left him.
In this way, Yang Liujin completely became an orphan.
Yang Liujin, who is less than seven years old, can only go to the mountains every day to pick some wild grasses and wild vegetables to fill his hunger.
Sometimes, when he saw other people's children eating big fish and meat during the festival, he would go to the river to catch some small fish and shrimp.
A man sits by the river and lights a fire to keep warm and quench his hunger.
At this time, his cousin Yang Zhulin, who was working in the city, heard about the accident at Yang Liujin's home.
Yang Qilin was very unbearable, and every time he returned to the village, he brought some food and drink to Yang Liujin to fill the daily food and clothing of Xiao Liujin.
Looking at the skinny little cousin, Yang Zhulin often secretly wiped a handful of tears when Yang Liujin was not paying attention.
He asked Yang Liujin to go to his house more than once to live together, but every time he was rejected by this precocious and sensible child.
Yang Liujin knew that the economic situation of his cousin Yang Duolin's family was not good.
It must not be in vain
With the efforts of his cousin Yang Zhulin, the village specially approved an empty house on the mountain for Xiao Liujin as a temporary resettlement.
The old house had been in dilapidated condition for seventy or eighty years on this uninhabited hill.
But Yang Liujin didn't dislike it at all, and was very grateful and kept thinking about his cousin and the people in the village.
Cousin Yang Zhulin explained to his family that he asked his family to secretly send ten yuan to Yang Liujin's house every month.
After Yang Liujin found out, he accepted it knowing that this was his cousin's kindness, but insisted on going to his cousin's house every day to help farm and do housework in order to repay.
The people in the village learned about what happened to Yang Liujin, and began to take care of this poor orphan who had been in charge of the family early in their own way. Some grandmothers in the village often give Yang Liujin some pickled vegetables and hot sauce at home, and often tell him:
"If you need any help, you can tell us at any time, come to the house if you don't have anything to eat, and we will add you a pair of chopsticks. ”
"Come to the house if you don't wear it, and we'll give you a new one!"
But every time Yang Liujin just smiled stupidly at the grandmothers, and then ran away.
In order to repay the villagers who helped him, Yang Liujin usually went to the homes of those elderly people who were too old to work.
Help them with farm work, sweep pigsty, chicken pens, cut pigweed, herd cattle and sheep......
Become the protagonist of the documentary
In 2012, in order to cooperate with the national poverty alleviation cause in full swing, Guangxi TV decided to shoot a documentary on poverty alleviation.
Under the recommendation of local village committees and enthusiastic villagers, Yang Liujin became one of the protagonists of this documentary.
Reporters and photographers followed the footsteps of this orphan into the mountains and villages, and conducted in-depth follow-up interviews and photographs of his life.
After Yang Liujin's story was reported, it attracted the attention of tens of millions of people across the country.
In order to help Yang Liujin completely get rid of his difficult life, the film crew specially opened a bank card for him.
And the card number was announced on the show, hoping that caring people could help him get out of trouble.
For a time, the power of social love gushed out like a tide.
Some schools approached Yang Liujin and not only wanted to donate money to him, but also promised to sponsor Yang Liujin to go to school.
In just a few weeks, Yang Liujin has received care and donations from countless caring people from all over the country.
Donations alone have reached a staggering 5 million.
And all the donations were deposited into Yang Liujin's personal account, which was jointly kept by his cousin Yang Zhulin and Liujin.
Faced with this huge amount of money that he and even many people have never seen in his life, Yang Liujin showed composure and maturity far beyond his age.
Under the witness of the village cadres, Yang Liujin took out 1.5 million yuan from the donation to rebuild and renovate the loess road in the countryside of the village.
Not only that, Yang Liujin also took out another 150,000 yuan to support those students around him who also came from poor families.
Perhaps only people like Yang Liujin who have been drenched in the rain will really understand the truth of holding an umbrella for others after they have overcome difficulties.
But at this time, a question from the reporter made Yang Liujin, who has always been strong, burst into tears.
"Do you want to find your mother?"
"Do you want to find your mother?"
When Yang Liujin heard this, he was obviously stunned for a moment. The reporter told him that he had found it for him, and if he wanted to, he would take him there immediately.
Yang Liujin hurriedly went back to the house and put on his favorite clothes, and happily prepared to meet his mother.
However, Yang's mother's situation and reaction made Yang Liujin feel even more distressed.
After Yang Liujin saw his mother and younger brother, he threw himself into his mother's arms and cried bitterly.
The reporter took the opportunity to ask Yang's mother if she wanted to take her son to her side.
But after Yang's mother left with Yang Liujin's younger brother, she remarried and gave birth to two more sons.
She once asked her husband to take her eldest son over.
But the conditions of their family were really not good, and the husband did not agree.
The sensible Yang Liujin was unwilling to embarrass his mother, and kept saying that it was okay and okay.
At this time, an invitation from CCTV News's "Face to Face" column came.
Facing the camera, cousin Yang Qilin said that his cousin just wanted to be an ordinary person and didn't want to receive too much attention because of this.
Yang Qilin opened a farm in his hometown and built a three-story building with a separate room belonging to Yang Liujin.
Every time he returned to his hometown during the holidays, Yang Liujin would let his cousin accompany him and return to the elementary school to visit the teachers and principals who had taken care of him before.
epilogue
Today's Yang Liujin has changed his name and started a new life.
Calculating the time, Yang Liujin should be in his junior year now and is facing the problem of employment.
People who didn't have anything to do with him didn't know what his name was now, and good people didn't want to bother him anymore.
I just hope he can be safe and well......
