In my lifetime, I am happy to meet you, please click "Follow", thank you for your support.
Liu Jiachen sits in an independent and spacious office, with floor-to-ceiling windows, her eyes seem to be able to pass through the bustling cityscape, and everything in front of her shows her success and glory as an elite in the workplace - she has now achieved brilliant results in the workplace, and her salary is also quite superior.
However, for these, she was not intoxicated, but deeply sighed and rejoiced, and her heart was full of gratitude.
Recalling the willful, extravagant and indulgent self a few years ago, Liu Jiachen still feels a little ashamed. At that time, she lived in a wealthy family environment, and her parents took good care of her, which also led to her distorted concept of money.
A simple breakfast costs her as much as 300 yuan; And those brand-name shoes, as long as they are worn three times, will not hesitate to discard whenever she sees something she likes, she always asks for it without restraint, squandering her parents' property.
The more serious problem is that Liu Jiachen was short-tempered at that time, and often clashed with his mother over some trivial things, and even fought hard. She dropped out of school and stayed at home, doing nothing all day, and drinking and binge became her biggest hobby.
In the face of their daughter's various behaviors, parents can only be at a loss and feel powerless.
Liu Jiachen's eyes dimmed, and the past that was distant but unforgettable for her came to mind. It was that participation in the reality show that made her completely change herself and make her where she is today.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion, and a tear flowed from the corner of her eye.
Liu Jiachen was born into a wealthy family in Anshan City, Liaoning Province. Her father is a successful entrepreneur and her mother is a senior executive of a well-known company, both of whom have successful careers and wealthy families.
As the only child in the family, Liu Jiachen has been endlessly pampered by her parents since she was a child, and they have hired the best tutor for her, so that she can enter the top schools, wear the most expensive designer clothes, and her parents will do their best to satisfy whatever she wants.
However, as their parents' careers are booming, they put more energy into their work, and their care and companionship for their daughters gradually decreases. Liu Jiachen's heart began to feel empty and lonely.
In order to fill the deep hole in his heart, Liu Jiachen gradually fell into an extreme dependence on excessive luxury consumption. She went further and further on the road of squandering money, and even spent as much as 300 yuan on a simple breakfast; Her choice of shoes is almost obsessive, only the latest and rarest styles can satisfy her needs, and after wearing them three times, whether worn or not, she will not hesitate to discard them and exchange them for new ones.
Her understanding and perception of money has become blurred in her eyes, and she keeps reaching out to her parents to ask for them, endlessly squandering their hard-earned money. The constraints of her parents seemed to her to be nothing, and she quickly degenerated into a rebellious girl.
In her second year of junior high school, she resolutely gave up her studies and spent her days at home doing nothing, drinking and partying became all her life, and she often led a group of friends to drink and act recklessly.
However, the most worrying thing is that Liu Jiachen's temper is extremely short-tempered, and he often has fierce conflicts with his mother over some trivial matters, and even fights. Whenever her parents tried to stop her bad behavior or refused her unreasonable demands, she would be furious and blame her parents with unbridled words, deeply hurting their feelings.
Faced with their daughter's increasingly rebellious behavior, Liu's father and mother felt helpless, and they tried to discipline them many times, but in the end they all failed. They felt guilty that their misconduct in educating their daughter had led to her current debauchery and extravagance.
Seeing their daughter's behavior becoming more and more outrageous, Liu's father and mother were worried, and they were worried about their daughter's future path. They are caught in a dilemma until a chance encounter brings a glimmer of hope to the family.
It was late one night in 2013, and Liu's mother was bored flipping through the TV show, and was suddenly attracted by a reality show called "Metamorphosis". The experiences of the troubled teenagers in the show are the same as Liu Jiachen at home - extravagant and indulgent, willful, and strained with their parents.
However, after coming to a poor rural family, these teenagers have been cleansed and transformed their minds by experiencing the simple rural life, and their personalities have undergone earth-shaking changes.
Seeing this scene, Liu's mother suddenly realized, why not let Liu Jiachen also experience such a life? Maybe this was the slap in the face she desperately needed! After careful consideration, Liu's father and Liu's mother decided to sign up for their daughter to participate in "Metamorphosis".
At the time of departure, Liu Jiachen did not have any practical feelings about the mysterious countryside that she was about to embark on, and she thought that this trip was just another ordinary outdoor activity.
However, when she set foot in that lonely village in a remote corner of Yunnan, she was deeply struck by the fact that the living conditions were extremely difficult, and it was a bumpy five-hour drive to reach her home from the nearest town, with no running water or heating available, and the only way to heat her home was to burn firewood, an environment that contrasted with the opulence and luxury she enjoyed in the bustling city, as if two worlds were out of reach.
After walking into the farmhouse, Liu Jiachen was even more stunned - the living expenses she had this week were only 7.5 yuan! For a person who is accustomed to spending up to 300 yuan a day on breakfast, this is undoubtedly an incredible challenge.
In the face of the authentic local food that Grandma Yang carefully cooked for her, she was full of disdain, and she didn't even bother to touch the chopsticks, just relying on bottled mineral water to barely maintain her life.
Despite the poor living environment, this simple rural family welcomed Liu Jiachen with the warmest attitude. In order for her to taste the delicious food, the only hen in the family was also slaughtered without hesitation.
Yang's father and Yang's mother even purchased a new set of thermal underwear for her to resist the biting cold of Yunnan winter.
Seeing the hard work they have paid for themselves, Liu Jiachen's heart is full of complicated emotions. She never expected that in this poor and backward mountain village, she would be able to receive such sincere love and care from strangers.
How ridiculous and ashamed her past extravagant and wasteful lifestyle seemed in comparison! It was the first time she realized that money is not everything, and that simple friendships and love are better than fancy costumes and ornaments.
In order to stimulate Liu Jiachen's determination to return to his studies, Yang's father took the trouble to persuade him. He recounted that he once had a talented younger brother, but because his family was poor and could not afford the high tuition fees, he finally had to give up his dream of entering a major university for further study, and now he can only work hard outside to support his family.
Father Yang's hands are covered with thick calluses, which are a pair of hard-working, unpretentious hands, a man who is full of endless thirst for knowledge but is unable to realize his ideals due to poverty.
Liu Jiachen deeply realized that if Uncle Yang had the opportunity to continue his studies, then he might have become an outstanding scientist by now, injecting his own powerful impetus into the prosperity and strength of our great motherland!
In this simple and quiet mountain village, Liu Jiachen has gained endless warmth and inspiration. In order to express her deep gratitude, she resolutely decided to devote herself to the school's education and listened carefully to the sincere teachings of every teacher; At the same time, she also actively assists her elderly grandmother to take her medication on time and participates in family affairs.
The city girl who was once arrogant and extravagant has completely faded away from the vanity and impetuousness of the past at this moment, showing a new look. Seeing such a huge change in Liu Jiachen, Father Yang's heart was full of relief and joy.
These words were like a deafening alarm bell, which made Liu Jiachen completely sober up. She was acutely aware of the absurdity of her previous actions, and she was determined to change her mind, rejoin her studies, and pave a path to success for herself.
Father Yang's words were like a powerful driving force, which completely woke Liu Jiachen from his confusion. She realized how ignorant and pathetic her past lifestyle of bohemian and profligate was.
In this rustic mountain village, she finally realized the true meaning of life and the incomparable preciousness of knowledge, and strengthened her determination to return to learning to change her destiny.
On the day of parting, Liu Jiachen had tears in his eyes. In order to express her deep gratitude to these farmer friends, she did not hesitate to take off her cherished designer sneakers and exchanged them for hundreds of yuan in cash as a gift.
This pair of shoes, which once cost tens of thousands of yuan, was once one of her most cherished luxuries, but now she has donated them without hesitation, which undoubtedly shows her complete transformation.
After returning to the bustling city, Liu Jiachen immediately packed his bags and embarked on the road to study in the capital Beijing. There, she abandoned the lazy attitude of life in the past, devoted herself to the study of various disciplines, and no longer spent as extravagantly and extravagantly as before.
After several years of hard work, Liu Jiachen finally realized his dream and successfully graduated from a well-known university in Beijing. With her excellent academic performance, she quickly found her dream job and became a high-profile professional elite.
Looking back on the past years, at that time, she squandered luxury but walked proudly alone, like a wealthy daughter; However, now, after the tempering of the world, she has been reborn, realized the sublimation of self-worth, and gave life a new meaning and value.
All these fateful turnarounds stem from the unforgettable journey of life in Yunnan mountain villages, as well as the profound insights there.
Flipping through the dusty album, every photo records Liu Jiachen's growth process. From the arrogant, willful and rebellious girl to today's mature and stable career elite, her image has undergone earth-shaking changes, but there are subtle connections and interweaving hidden in it.
All these changes and breakthroughs come from the experience of living in the mountains of Yunnan. If it weren't for that in-depth contact in the rustic farmhouse, Liu Jiachen might have indulged in the abyss of extravagance and indulgence forever, unable to extricate himself.
In the past, her perception of money has been seriously distorted, and she has turned a blind eye to the true value of life. The endless pursuit of material things seems to have become her only goal in life.
However, in that humble mountain village, when she saw that the peasant family did not hesitate to sacrifice the only hen in the family in order to give her a delicious meal; When she saw Father Yang's calloused hands, she suddenly realized that these were a pair of hard-working, unpretentious, but eager for knowledge.
Indeed, those delicacies and brand-name clothes that she once took for granted are so precious and rare in the eyes of others. And pure friendship and knowledge are the most precious treasures in life that are worthy of our cherishment.
Today's Liu Jiachen has returned to the right path and has become the mainstay of society, which can be called a model of the prodigal son's return to gold!
