June is the season when gardenias bloom, the season when youthful dreams set sail, and the season when countless candidates go to the examination room after ten years of hard work.
Outside the examination room, the anxious expectations of parents, mixed with the chirping of cicadas, played a tense melody belonging to the college entrance examination.
But this hustle and bustle that belongs to youth is incompatible with the world of Chen Liang, a young man from Mianyang, Sichuan. For him, this June 2021 is destined to be a desperate struggle against fate and suffering.
The portrait of my father lies quietly in the mourning hall, and the kind smile in the black and white photo has become a piercing memory.
On the eve of the college entrance examination, his father, who was dependent on each other, died of illness, leaving him to face the ups and downs of life alone.
"After my father's body was cremated, I went back to take the college entrance examination"
In a short sentence, there is not a single word "pain", but it hurts the heart.
On the eve of the college entrance examination, I lost a loved one
Chen Liang's life is like an examination paper that has been repeatedly rubbed by fate, full of hardships and challenges. When he was young, his mother and brother died one after another, and he and his father depended on each other and walked alone in the mud of life.
Sensible and precocious, he shouldered the burden of life early, and held up a sky of love for his father with his immature shoulders.
At the beginning of this year, my father was diagnosed with esophageal cancer, and this diagnosis was like a bolt from the blue, shattering the last hope of the family, which was not wealthy.
The father chose to hide his illness, he was worried that the high cost of treatment would crush his son, and he was even more worried that his illness would affect his son's college entrance examination.
"Child, you just have to study with peace of mind, Dad is fine."
The father endured the pain and comforted his son with the most optimistic smile, but secretly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes behind his back.
With the upcoming college entrance examination on one side and his increasingly thin father on the other, Chen Liang is in a dilemma.
On one side was the mountain of textbooks piled up in front of the desk, and on the other hand, the expectant eyes of his father on the hospital bed, Chen Liang's heart ached as if it had been torn.
During the day, he is a dream-chasing boy who studies hard in the classroom, and at night, he is a filial son who takes care of him at the bedside. He is like a tireless spinning top, running back and forth between school and hospital, with his thin body, shouldering the burden of the family and guarding his father's last hope.
But after all, the situation exceeded everyone's expectations. The day before the college entrance examination, my father's condition suddenly deteriorated and he left this world forever. At that moment, Chen Liang endured his grief, took care of his father's funeral, and sent him to the end of his life.
On that sad night, Chen Liang silently promised: "Dad, don't worry, I will definitely go on strongly, with your hope, and be admitted to the ideal university!" ”
The next day, he walked into the examination room with red eyes and wrote down the most important answer sheet in his life with trembling hands.
Outside the examination room, the gardenias were in full bloom, and the fragrance of flowers was permeating, as if they were cheering him on.
On the day of the results, when he checked the results with trembling hands, the scores displayed on the screen made him and the head teacher stunned. Chen Liang actually played extraordinarily and passed the second line!
He raised his head, let the tears blur his eyes, and silently told his father in his heart: "Dad, I did it!" I've passed the second line! You can rest assured......"
But after the joy, the pressure of college tuition and living expenses pulled him back to reality again.
In order to raise money for tuition, he resolutely gave up his rest time and was introduced by local volunteers to work as a summer job at a homestay.
Every morning at six o'clock, while his peers are still asleep, he has already started his busy day.
Washing vegetables, cutting vegetables, serving dishes, cleaning ...... He is like a tireless robot, shuttling through all corners of the homestay, exchanging sweat for a meager income.
14 hours, this is Chen Liang's daily working time. The long hours of physical labor made his back ache, but he never complained, let alone slack.
Because he always has a belief in his heart: "I want to earn money to go to school, I want to change my destiny with knowledge, and I want to be the pride of my father!" ”
In the eyes of the staff and customers of the B&B, Chen Liang is a diligent, sensible and optimistic child.
He always has a smile on his face and infects the people around him with a positive attitude. No one knows what kind of bitterness and suffering is hidden behind this optimistic and cheerful teenager.
People from all walks of life extended a helping hand, and the teenager politely declined to donate
Chen Liang's story, after being reported by local media, has aroused widespread attention from all walks of life. Countless people were touched by his strength, sensibility and filial piety, and they reached out to help, hoping to help this ill-fated teenager tide over the difficulties.
For a time, Chen Liang's mobile phone became a "hotline", and calls and text messages from all over the country poured in like a tide, from strangers he didn't know to caring people who had helped him, who expressed their concern and encouragement, and even expressed their willingness to provide financial help.
Local caring enterprises also threw an olive branch to Chen Liang, promising to provide him with free food and lodging, and arrange light jobs to help him successfully complete his studies.
In the face of the sudden love, Chen Liang's heart was full of gratitude, but he was not lost in the help of well-wishers.
He knows that receiving help is only temporary, and self-improvement and self-reliance are the fundamental ways to solve life's problems.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I can now work to earn money, and I can finish my studies on my own." Faced with the funding proposed by an entrepreneur, Chen Liang politely declined.
"I can rely on myself", the short five words, demonstrate the determination of the teenager to be self-reliant and self-reliant, and his firm confidence in the future.
In order to help Chen Liang successfully complete his studies, the local civil affairs department took the initiative to contact Chen Liang, handled the subsistence allowance for him, and said that according to his actual situation, it would provide temporary assistance and other policy guarantees to help him tide over the difficulties.
The education department also took active action, promising to help Chen Liang apply for student loans and grants, and said that it would do everything to solve his worries, so that he could study with peace of mind and pursue his dreams without distractions.
At the same time that Chen Liang refused to donate to the society, a caring person from Zhejiang was deeply moved by his story and decided to use his own way to make a modest contribution to this strong young man.
He anonymously donated 10,000 yuan to Chen Liang through his school account, hoping that this money could help him reduce his financial burden and enter the university hall smoothly.
In the face of the care from all walks of life, Chen Liang was moved. He knows that these helps, not only material support, but also spiritual encouragement, have turned into warm currents that flow on his life path, giving him the courage and strength to overcome difficulties.
Fate may be unfair, it made Chen Liang suffer the hardships of life prematurely, but it also allowed him to hone his tenacious will and shape a strong heart in the face of adversity.
I believe that with the help of all walks of life and his unremitting efforts, Chen Liang will be able to overcome the difficulties in front of him, realize his dreams, and create a better future!
