At seven o'clock in the morning, the urban area of Yanjiao was haunted by a thin layer of morning mist, and a beam of the sun's rays broke through the layers of clouds and fell on the 76-year-old Han Fitness. The retired senior professor of the Faculty of Disaster Prevention Science and Technology, who has returned to campus, has been waking up early and staying late every day for many years, riding his bicycle to a nearby city park for physical fitness activities, rain or shine.
Today's itinerary is as usual, Han Lao is wearing a long-sleeved sportswear, a peaked cap, and a bicycle, leisurely moving towards the direction of the park.
At the same time, 18-year-old Shi Fangli also got out of bed early. Originally from a remote mountainous area in Shanglin County, Guangxi, she was forced to interrupt her high school education due to her family's financial situation, and then moved with her parents to Yanjiao, Hebei Province.
In order to support her family, she worked as a salesperson in a clothing store, earning only a meager salary of just over 1,000 yuan a month. Despite her modest income, she is grateful and at least has a stable job to make ends meet.
Shi Fangli still rides her e-bike to her place of work as usual today. When she drove to the intersection of the South Gate of the College of Disaster Prevention Science and Technology, she suddenly found an old man riding a bicycle in front of her, who turned out to be Professor Han Jian.
Due to Han Lao's slower speed, in order to gain time, she decided to overtake Han Lao.
"At that time, I saw that the old man seemed to be about to turn left, so I increased my speed to overtake, but he suddenly turned to the right, and I didn't even have time to brake before I hit it!" Shi Fangli recalled that scene, her tone full of panic and deep guilt.
I only heard a loud "bang", Han Lao fell off the bicycle and hit the ground hard, his head was bleeding, and he fell into a coma in an instant. Although Shi Fangli also felt severe pain, her injuries were much milder in comparison.
She looked at Han Lao's motionless appearance, she was stunned with fright, and her tears couldn't stop falling.
At this life-and-death moment, Han Jian's mind flashed through his ups and downs in life. When he was young, he was full of ambition to serve the country and took the initiative to invite Ying to engage in geological exploration work on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, where the environment is extremely harsh.
In 1961, a serious accident occurred in the chromite mining area of Baijing Temple in the Qilian Mountains, and many workers were in danger of their lives.
In the cramped mines, thick smoke fills the air, boulders fall, and every inch of space is filled with the smell of death. At this critical moment, Han Jian stepped forward, he clenched his teeth, and clung to the tough hemp rope for fear of breaking.
He tried his best to climb, sweating like rain, and struggled to climb the wellhead up to a height of more than 20 meters. After arriving, he sent a strong signal for help, and quickly commanded everyone to perform their duties, and after hardships, he finally rescued the trapped workers one by one.
After this incident, the leaders of the mining area gave high praise to Han Jian's willingness to pay and take responsibility. This incomparably precious quality has always accompanied Han Jian's growth process and nurtured his firm determination to devote himself to the cause of education.
Han Jian has worked hard in the education position for several years, and has devoted himself to creating a masterpiece of "Fundamentals of Earthquake Geology" with a length of more than 600,000 words, which has won warm praise from the industry and all walks of life.
Even after retirement, Han Jian still stuck to his original intention. He actively responded to the call of his alma mater and once again shouldered the important mission of counselor. On campus, he always regards the difficult problems of students as a top priority, and patiently answers questions and solves problems in a friendly and friendly manner.
It is this sincere emotion and strong sense of responsibility that has won the love and respect of countless students.
Han Jian has the courage to take responsibility and dedication all his life, and he has interpreted the fine tradition of the Chinese nation to help the poor and act bravely with practical actions. It is these excellent qualities that have made him who he is today.
After the car accident, Han Jian was carried into the ambulance by everyone with all their efforts, and Shi Fangli followed closely behind. Recalling that thrilling moment, both of them felt like a nightmare repeating itself, sweat cascading down their foreheads like a waterfall.
Upon arrival at the hospital, the diagnosis was shocking: Han Jian suffered five broken ribs, an open four-centimeter-long wound on his right jaw, which was deep enough to see the bone, and urgently needed emergency stitches, and more seriously, a minor concussion.
The doctor solemnly reminded that in the future, he will face a long-term inpatient observation and treatment process.
After learning the news, Shi Fangli's father, Shi Yongqiang, did not hesitate to take out the only 10,000 yuan left in the family and pay the prepaid medical expenses. However, this amount is a drop in the bucket for the high cost of hospitalization.
The Shi family is all worried, they rely on their parents to work part-time, Shi Fangli works as a salesperson to barely survive, and they can't afford to bear such huge financial pressure. To make matters worse, they also have a younger brother who is studying in school and a grandmother who is seriously ill in their hometown in the mountains of Guangxi, and they need to take care of them urgently.
Shi Fangli looked at the unconscious Han Lao, her heart was full of helplessness and panic, but she never thought of escaping or refusing to take responsibility. She did her best to wait in the hospital day and night, personally feeding and changing Han Lao's diapers, for fear that anything would happen to this amiable and respectable elder.
However, in the face of life's difficulties, she felt powerless to cope, and tears kept rolling in her eyes.
Just as Shi Fangli was in deep pain, Han Lao finally woke up from his coma. When he saw the tired face of the young girl in front of him, he did not show a reproachful look, but took the initiative to comfort: "Little girl, don't be too sad, this is just an accident, I won't blame you."
Shi Fangli immediately knelt on the ground and said with tears streaming down her face: "Old man, all this is my fault, please allow me to pay for your medical expenses." Han Lao shook his head again and again, with an amiable smile on his face: "Your family is not wealthy, let's save some, I have medical insurance, and most of the expenses can be reimbursed."
At this time, Han Lao's son Han Xuefeng also hurried over. At first, he held a grudge against Shi Fangli, but seeing her so sincere and humble, taking care of every detail of her father, coupled with his father's comfort, his anger gradually subsided.
Han Lao whispered to his son: "This child is of good character, we should be tolerant and understanding." Are you thinking about helping her find a suitable job to help her regain her footing?" Han Xuefeng nodded and immediately posted the job posting on social media.
Sure enough, a friend who works on a golf course quickly reached out and offered to let Shi Fangli work as a caddie there. Although the intensity of work is not huge, the beautiful environment and good salary are undoubtedly an important turning point in Shi Fangli's life.
When this ecstatic good news reached Shi Fangli's ears, she couldn't believe it. Looking at Han Lao's kind eyes, she could no longer suppress the excitement in her heart, and cried loudly, her tears filled with endless gratitude.
With the full assistance of Han Xuefeng, Shi Fangli successfully entered the luxurious golf course and began a new caddy career in her life.
Fortunately, there are several veterans with rich practical experience gathered in the field to personally guide her, guiding her how to pass the ball and reorganize the equipment for the players with the utmost respect.
At first, Shi Fangli was at a loss due to excessive nervousness, but with frequent contact with her seniors, she gradually understood the mysteries, and after repeated practice, she has become proficient.
Every day and night, Shi Fangli is doing her best to adapt to this new and challenging environment. She always maintains a tall posture and confident stride around the court, showing her politeness and humility with a warm smile on her face whenever she delivers the ball to guests.
Although the occasional players laughed, Shi Fangli would shyly follow the laughter for a short time, she won the praise of everyone with her hard work, and gradually became famous, becoming a high-profile "Little Stone Girl" on the field.
In addition to the elegant and pleasant external environment, the most gratifying thing about this job is the generous salary, which she can earn as much as four to five thousand yuan a month, which is more than four times that of her previous work in a clothing store.
With this stable and sufficient financial resources, Shi Fangli no longer needs to worry about her livelihood, and she can paint her own wonderful picture of life.
Shi Fangli often recalls Han Lao with endless gratitude, and it is precisely because of his broad mind and the opportunity to reinvent like a gift that she can achieve today's wings and soar.
Looking back on this journey, Han Jian's heart was filled with deep comfort. As an elder who has experienced vicissitudes of life, he has long been aware of the world and understands human nature. In his opinion, people who are kind and simple will eventually receive deep love, while those who are hypocritical and cunning will definitely be eliminated by the torrent of life.
Shi Fangli and her family are representatives of kindness and simplicity. Despite the difficult family conditions and difficult life, they never had any perfunctory or evasive thoughts about Han Jian. On the contrary, they did not hesitate to take out all their family savings as soon as possible and sincerely apologize to Han Jian.
And Shi Fangli guarded Han Jian's bedside day and night, taking care of him carefully.
It is precisely because of this sincere emotion of the Shi family that Han Jian has strengthened his determination to go all out to help them get rid of poverty and create a new path of life. Although the final result was unexpectedly beautiful, for Han Jian, this is undoubtedly a vivid embodiment of the spirit of "helping the needy" that he has adhered to throughout his life.
Indeed, helping others and acting courageously are undoubtedly fine traditional virtues that have been inherited by our great Chinese nation for a long time and have a long history. Faced with this situation, Han Jian was full of emotion: "As a native of Beijing, I don't understand these basic ethical principles, it is really unacceptable!"
Until the end of his life, Han Jian was unwavering in his pride in what he had done. He had a compassionate heart, full of enthusiasm, and practiced that noble character all the time.
In his eyes, only by upholding the quality of innocence and kindness can he persevere on the road of moral cultivation and ultimately achieve brilliance.
This is the belief he has adhered to throughout his life, and it is also the philosophy of life that he is determined to spread widely and vigorously promote.
