Back 12 years ago, let us witness the growth of Luo Yufeng, a poor rural girl. She was born in a barren and remote mountain village in Chongqing, where living conditions were so difficult that barely making ends meet was a luxury.
has been destined for Luo Yufeng's ill-fated life since he was a child. Her parents divorced when she was young and she had to live with her mother. Unfortunately, my mother soon remarried, and there was a little sister in the family.
In an ordinary family, the eldest daughter and the younger sister should love each other and have brotherly affection. However, in this conservative feudal rural family, the situation is the opposite.
Since birth, my sister has been regarded as the jewel of her palm, and she has been pampered by her parents and grandparents in every way. As the eldest daughter in the family, Luo Yufeng has been neglected and discriminated against since she was a child, and can only work hard in the fields and shoulder the burden of taking care of her family.
Whenever she saw her sister being cared for by her family, Luo Yufeng's heart would be full of jealousy and injustice.
Fortunately, despite such a difficult living environment, Luo Yufeng was born with a thirst for knowledge. Since the age of 9, she has been voracious in reading books, which has greatly broadened her horizons and given her unique insight into world affairs.
It was this fighting spirit that made her finally admitted to an ordinary normal college.
Since then, Luo Yufeng left the prison-like mountain village and took the first step in life. When she first set foot in the city, she was completely enchanted by the bustle of modern civilization, as if she had opened up a whole new horizon.
Deep down, a strong impulse burns, and she desperately wants to pursue a more wonderful life.
After graduating from university, Luo Yufeng decisively chose to stay in Shanghai to work hard instead of returning to the small mountain village in his hometown. Although she could only work as a supermarket cashier struggling at the bottom at first, it was already a new beginning in her life.
Although those difficult days briefly knocked her down, they never shattered her inner ideals and pursuits.
Butterflies flutter and provoke criticism
During the days of working hard in Shanghai, although living in poverty, Luo Yufeng still had dreams and longed to change his destiny one day. One day in 2009, she made a move that stunned the world and became a household name in one fell swoop.
On that day, Luo Yufeng, dressed in a white wedding dress, stood majestically in the core area of Lujiazui, Shanghai, holding a stack of leaflets, and began her unique marriage campaign.
I saw that the content on the leaflet was very rare: first, she had extremely high requirements for her future husband's academic qualifications and intelligence, and she must be a graduate of Tsinghua University and Peking University or a famous foreign university like Harvard; Secondly, the future husband must also have an international perspective and be proficient in at least multiple Chinese; Again, there are also strict restrictions on the man's household registration, and only those in coastal cities meet the requirements; What's even more amazing is that even the height and appearance have made specific specifications, 176-183cm, just refer to the appearance of star Chen Kun or Andy Lau.
An ordinary little girl put forward such a high-standard marriage condition so confidently, which undoubtedly caused an uproar at the time. For a while, a large number of media reporters flocked to interview, and major variety shows also invited her to participate.
Luo Yufeng has become a well-known Internet celebrity.
After becoming a celebrity, Luo Yufeng showed a bearing that looks down on the world. In the face of the pursuit of countless rich people, such as the "BMW man" who drove a BMW to propose to her on the spot, she refused them one by one, with a resolute and indifferent attitude.
She often said to outsiders: "Even if you are as talented as me, you must match it in appearance to be perfect." What seems to be arrogant remarks actually reflects her high self-confidence and independent character.
This seemingly "naïve and romantic" approach has undoubtedly attracted widespread attention and comments. Some praised her for her courage and courage, while others ridiculed her for her ignorance and dereliction of duty.
But both positive and negative reviews have put an otherwise unknown cashier into the spotlight and become a well-known Internet celebrity.
At the same time, this Internet celebrity career also made Luo Yufeng truly realize his true value. She is no longer the rural girl who can only work in the fields, but a celebrity who has attracted the attention of the people of the whole country; She was no longer satisfied with a life of poverty, but longed for a higher social status and better living conditions.
It was this transformation that made her finally make up her mind to leave her home country and embark on a voyage to the United States.
Living in abject poverty is ridiculed
Although he is already well-known in China, Luo Yufeng unexpectedly chose to leave his motherland and go to the United States, where he has never met. This decision is a huge challenge for an ordinary woman with only a secondary education background and a single living environment.
Sure enough, in the first few years, Luo Yufeng lived a very difficult life in the United States. With no relatives, language barriers, and unfamiliar cultural backgrounds, she can only struggle at the bottom.
Once, a photo of a passer-by even taking a photo of her curled up on a street corner, making a living for a pedicure for passers-by.
This incident instantly caused an uproar on the Internet. Countless people ridiculed and criticized Luo Yufeng's choice, believing that it was a wrong decision for her to leave the motherland.
Some people joked that as a former Internet celebrity in China, it is really sad that he has now fallen to this point.
However, despite the worrying life situation, Luo Yufeng was never swayed by the words of the outside world. On the contrary, she confronted the cruelty of reality with unexpected calmness and calmness.
In a video interview, she unreservedly revealed the illusory nature of the "American Dream": "It is not easy to find a turning point in life in the United States, and immigration does not instantly improve one's social status.
In fact, our life in the United States is not necessarily better than in China, and in some ways it may not even be as good as a stray dog.
In the face of the ridicule of the people who once pursued her, Luo Yufeng did not have a trace of wavering and resentment. She clearly understands that the reason for this criticism is that expectations are too high for her.
However, she never sanctified herself, but maintained a clear awareness, which allowed her to face all kinds of setbacks calmly.
It is this independent and rational personality that supports Luo Yufeng to move forward all the way, and finally waits for the reversal of her fate. The outside world's speculation and speculation about her life will eventually be self-defeating under the clouds of reality.
Admitted to a prestigious school in the United States to reverse his fate
In 2022, this little girl, who was once marginalized by society and considered "worthless", was admitted to the world-renowned American famous university - Queens College of the City University of New York with excellent results!
How could a girl from a poor background, who had not even completed her undergraduate studies, be admitted to such a super-first-class university? This is simply an out-and-out miracle! The hard work and perseverance required behind it can be imagined how powerful it is.
recalled that 12 years ago, when Luo Yufeng set foot on this land in the United States with ideals, he was once dubbed "penniless" and had an ugly evaluation. At that time, she was unknown, and she couldn't even speak English, and in this strange country, let alone looking for a way out of life, I am afraid that it would be difficult to solve the problem of food and clothing.
However, this girl, who was once marginalized by society, was not defeated by the mockery of fate.
Luo Yufeng later recalled: "As long as we don't accept our fate, then every bird that is not willing to be ordinary can spread its wings and fly high, even if they have been relegated to dust."
She used her own life experience to explain the weight of this sentence. From the countryside to the city, from Internet celebrity to downfall, and then to an outstanding scholar, she used her life to compose a cruel and beautiful symphony of fate.
In life's journey, perhaps the starting point will determine how far a person will go. But more often than not, the height of life depends on whether you have the courage and perseverance to pursue height.
If you are just content with the status quo, anyone's life will come to a standstill. But if you have a dream and move forward bravely, everyone may become the next Luo Yufeng.
Unwilling to be ordinary, the pursuit of excellence
In the face of countless voices that have ridiculed and questioned her, Luo Yufeng has never wavered in her beliefs and pursuits. She knows that in this endless journey of life, everyone is the master of their own destiny, and they should manipulate the brush in their hands to outline their own wonderful life on the blank picture scroll.
She once said nakedly: "Some people are born with a brilliant and colorful picture of life, and their parents have painted a beautiful picture on the canvas."
But many more are born with nothing but a blank canvas and only dirty mottled marks left on it. What really matters, though, is whether we are willing to pick up the pen and be brave enough to paint our own lives.
From an unknown rural girl, to a low-level laborer working hard in Shanghai, to a well-known Internet celebrity, and finally to an outstanding scholar in a prestigious American university, Luo Yufeng has written a miraculous legend with her life.
The trials and tribulations experienced in this process are enough to make people jaw-dropping.
But it is precisely because of the ideal and belief in the pursuit of excellence and the courage to never say die that Luo Yufeng finally broke through many obstacles and realized his dream.
Write a legend
In the face of this shocking news, those who had sneered, ridiculed and questioned Luo Yufeng were all shocked and distorted.
Back then, when Luo Yufeng crossed the sea and came to the United States with a dream, she was ridiculed and stared at. Some called her "worthless" and thought her decision was too stupid.
When a photo of a passer-by taking a pedicure for passers-by on the street to make a living went viral, it attracted a wave of ridicule.
However, it was this marginalized and ridiculed girl who was admitted to the top universities in the United States today with excellent grades and became a rising star in the limelight. She used her life experience to interpret the truth that "as long as we don't accept our fate, every bird that is unwilling to be ordinary can spread its wings and fly high".
From an unknown rural girl, to a low-level cashier working hard in Shanghai, to a well-known Internet celebrity star, and finally to an outstanding student in a prestigious American school, Luo Yufeng's legendary life experience is like a drama of ups and downs.
She used her life to compose a cruel and beautiful symphony of fate.
In the face of her achievement, those voices who once laughed at her and questioned her must now be ashamed. A socially marginalized girl ends up in the limelight with her own efforts, which is the most powerful response to those who were once mockers.
The road of life is bumpy, and whether it is self-cultivation or laissez-faire depends entirely on the choice of the person concerned.
