[Preface]
When it comes to Babaoshan, the first reaction of many friends is that the people in it are heroes, so much so that many celebrities just regard it as the "ultimate goal" of their lives.
After all, many people who have made great contributions to the development of the mainland are buried here, and it is also used as an educational base for our country's patriotism.
However, in September 2003, there was an unusual memorial service in this place, which was a scene of memorial for martyrs and heroes, but this time the memorial service was a 24-year-old female student.
The people who participated in this memorial service were the female student's classmates and teachers, all from one of the highest universities in our country, Peking University.
So, at this time, some friends may be curious, who is this female student, and what kind of life experience does she have?
The path of a gifted girl's education
The female student who was buried in Babaoshan was Zhang Peixiang from Hunan Province, and throughout her life, it was like a person who was extremely tragic and tried everything to see hope, and finally found that it was still a tragedy.
From the moment Zhang Peixiang was born, her fate seemed to be doomed, full of twists and turns, because Zhang Peixiang's family was very poor, and even her parents were not normal people.
The two are bedridden all year round, especially Zhang Peixiang's mother, who is suffering from polio, and it can be said that the two are basically incapable of working, although Zhang Peixiang's arrival has brought joy to this poor family.
But at the same time, it also brought a huge burden to the family, especially when she was five years old, the birth of her younger brother made this poor family even poorer.
Therefore, since she was a child, Zhang Peixiang has worked hard to bear the burden of the family, and during the autumn harvest, she will follow her mother to carry rice on her back and walk a long distance to sell it in the market.
Although life is difficult, Zhang Peixiang has never given up her studies, and she deeply understands that if she wants her family to live a good life, she must succeed in her studies and go out first.
Zhang Peixiang has an excellent memory, she memorizes texts faster than other children, not only that, but her thinking skills are also very strong, Zhang Peixiang's aunt and uncle are teachers, even if they have been teaching for so long, they have never seen such a smart child as their niece.
But being smart is useless for this family, because being smart does not change the family's poverty, so when Zhang Peixiang was in the fourth grade of primary school, she was forced to drop out of school.
When they learned the news, Zhang Peixiang's aunt and uncle were very angry, thinking that this was delaying the child's future, but the family really had no money, and the aunt couldn't bear to see Zhang Peixiang's "hurt Zhongyong" happen.
So he took him to his primary school, and in 1991, Zhang Peixiang did not live up to his aunt's expectations, and was admitted to the local No. 1 middle school with the first score in the school.
Even with the help of my aunt's family, no one in the poor village can come up with too much money, and even if my aunt and uncle have tried their best, they still can't provide for them to continue their education.
So the family thought that when she took the exam, she would take a secondary school, so that the tuition would be cheaper, although Zhang Peixiang, who had been sensible since he was a child, was quite uncomfortable in his heart, but he was still willing to listen to his family.
From the mouth of the principal of Zhang Peixiang's school, we learned that when the high school entrance examination was held in 1994, Zhang Peixiang was already in the secondary school examination, and it was the principal who found Zhang Peixiang out and told her that the tuition and miscellaneous fees for three years of high school were all free, which retained this talent.
When the results of the entrance examination came out, the total score was 740 points, and Zhang Peixiang scored 727 points, because the first language test was delayed, and he only got 110 points for the 120 test papers.
In August 1997, she was admitted to the Law Department of Peking University and became a member of Peking University with the first grade in the city.
Years of hard work in exchange for a road called hope, this summer, Zhang Peixiang took the 1,000 yuan that the villagers scraped together and got on the train to Beijing.
So, how is Zhang Peixiang doing after coming to Beijing?
Flying Flowers' Achievement
In Beijing, a place with a high level of consumption, a thousand yuan seems to be impossible to do, and it is not easy to survive here, especially for a young person who comes here for the first time.
But in order to reduce the burden on her family, Zhang Peixiang never asked her family for a penny since she went to school, she attended classes in school during the day, and went to work part-time at night, such as serving dishes and being a tutor.
Although life is more difficult, it is fulfilling, and the most admirable thing is that even if Zhang Peixiang is busy every day, his grades have never declined.
So that she soon became a well-known figure in the profession, and during her time in Beijing, the environment changed a lot for Zhang Peixiang, because the library here is very large, and she will often read books in the library when she is not busy.
This also stimulated all her literary talents, so she began to try to create by herself, to write articles for publication, she gave herself a pen name, called Feihua.
is gold that always shines, Zhang Peixiang quickly accumulated a group of fans because of his excellent writing, and got a better part-time job than serving dishes, that is, writing scripts in Beijing TV.
Her fame is growing, and even some teachers who are very accomplished in literature have praised her writing, the most sought after of which is her "Selling Rice".
In this work, there are no particularly flowery words, and it talks about the most ordinary things, that is, we talked about the story of her selling rice with her mother, but because of this, this article won the first prize in the original literature of Peking University.
She was even selected into textbooks, during which she won many scholarships, many people called her a talented woman of Peking University, in 2001, she obtained a bachelor's degree in law with honors, and continued to study for a master's degree here.
On the other hand, in her family, because of part-time jobs and scholarships, Zhang Peixiang's life is not so poor, and she will often send some money back to her family and buy a lot of things for her family.
The home environment is no longer as simple as when she was a child, Zhang Peixiang's heart is also very happy, and later she also took her mother and younger brother to Beijing to see the beautiful things she saw when she was in school.
Seeing that life is getting better and better, and soon she will have a better future forever, Zhang Peixiang passed away, and the countless excellent works she left behind during her lifetime have also been published and sought after by many people.
So, what is the reason why Zhang Peixiang passed away at such a young age?
God is jealous of talents, and bad news is coming
2003 was a sad year, because in this year, SARS quickly spread to various regions, causing a lot of panic, the number of infected people continued to grow, and many people did not dare to go to the hospital even if they were sick.
For fear of being infected in the hospital, during this period, Zhang Peixiang's body also changed, but the symptoms in her body were not the same as SARS.
Since May 2003, Zhang Peixiang has always felt very tired, and some small blue and purple spots have appeared on his body, not only that, but also accompanied by fever and weakness.
The originally healthy and energetic girl seemed to be hollowed out overnight, according to normal circumstances, Zhang Peixiang should go to the hospital as soon as possible and have a check-up.
But the long-term thrift made Zhang Peixiang unwilling to spend the unjust money, and SARS was more serious at that time, and no one dared to walk out of the school easily.
In addition, this situation will get better, and she didn't take it as a very important thing, she just thought that she was too tired and would just rest for a few days, but what Zhang Peixiang didn't expect was that it didn't take long for such symptoms to begin to deteriorate rapidly.
At this time, Zhang Peixiang was languishing all the time, looking extremely weak, and finally at the end of May, Zhang Peixiang, who couldn't stand it, was sent to the hospital.
After various complicated examinations and tests, Zhang Peixiang was diagnosed with leukemia, and you must know that even in the face of such a developed medical level, it is not easy to recover 100%.
What's more, it was the level of medical care back then, and people with this disease were basically equivalent to waiting for death directly, which was completely a bolt from the blue for Zhang Peixiang.
Her life has just begun, and it is about to end, and the classmates who know the news also expressed regret, after all, Zhang Peixiang is still recognized by everyone as a talented woman, and she was intercepted by the disease before she fully showed her talent.
It seems impossible not to be hospitalized, because his parents are not in good health, although they have received good treatment, but their physical fitness is still not as strong as normal people, Zhang Peixiang was afraid that his parents would not be able to accept it, so he begged his classmates and teachers not to inform them of this matter.
In the following time, Zhang Peixiang was very positive, but everyone knew in their hearts that she was just holding on, and when her younger brother finished the college entrance examination, Zhang Peixiang told her family about her illness.
Her parents took her brother to the place where she was hospitalized at the first time, at first she was able to interact with the people around her, and gradually she even had a very difficult time eating, and in the moment before death, she said that she wanted to divide the ashes in two.
Half stayed at the place where the dream began, half stayed at home, and at the end of August 2003, 24-year-old Zhang Peixiang passed away forever.
Because everyone has a deep affection for her, Peking University came forward and held a very grand funeral for her, Sa Beining presided over and made an exception to bury her in Babaoshan, and the remaining half of the ashes were also taken away by her family and built a small pavilion to bury underneath.
Even now, this small pavilion is still there, perhaps in another world without illness, Zhang Peixiang has realized his dream and become a high-spirited writer.
