At around 11 o'clock today, Jiang Zhefu, an 18-year-old boy from Xiaoshan No. 5 Middle School and a Xiaoshan boy who delivers food to subsidize his family during the summer vacation, received his long-awaited admission letter.
What is special is that this notice was delivered by a teacher from Nanjing Normal University. Along with the arrival of the teachers, there is also a bag of books related to the major and the school's mascot specially prepared by the teachers.
"This is also the school's first admission letter in Zhejiang Province. We also look forward to seeing you on the university campus. Listening to the encouragement of the university teacher, Xiao Jiang still had a smile on his somewhat immature face.
Recently, Jiang Zhefu's ordinary days have become turbulent. For this 18-year-old boy, there are tears, suffering, but also warmth and touch, as well as hope for the future......
The "accident" that came before the college entrance examination
For his father's abnormality, Jiang Zhefu was the first to discover.
Father and son have a habit of playing against each other. Every weekend, while each other is resting, Jiang Zhefu and his father will play at least one game of Chinese chess. And it was also two or three weeks before the college entrance examination, and after playing chess a few times, Jiang Zhefu obviously felt that his father's thinking was not right, and his state was not good. "I feel that when I was playing chess, my father was a little incompatible, and his memory was not very good, so he would make some obvious mistakes."
As the exam was approaching, Jiang Zhefu called his mother and asked her to accompany her father to the hospital to have a look.
An inspection proved that Jiang Zhefu's judgment was correct. The results of the examination were more serious than expected, and Xiao Jiang's father was diagnosed with glioma (brain malignancy).
Because it was a special period for the college entrance examination, the family chose to hide it from him first. Unexpectedly, this attentive teenager still found something strange in a phone call with his parents, and knew the situation before the end of the college entrance examination. On June 10, after completing his final exam, he went straight to the hospital.
The next day, Xiao Jiang's father underwent a craniotomy. The doctor said that it was fortunate that he found it in time, and if he had been a few days late, he might have lost the opportunity for surgery.
In those days, the little ginger running around the hospital was poignant.
"Because we have a pro-youth platform. After knowing this situation at the time, I thought about docking with him, and I could help a little bit. The staff of the Youth League District Committee recalled that almost all of the contact with Xiao Jiang at that time was at night. At first, no one answered the phone, but later I learned that he was waiting at the door of the operating room, because he was nervous, he didn't pay attention to the mobile phone at all, and then transferred to the general ward, he was also with the hospital 24 hours a day, changing clothes, changing diapers, feeding, wiping his body, turning the bed, all relying on him. "It's only at night when his dad falls asleep that he is free to reply to my messages."
Thankfully, the surgery went well. On June 20, Xiao Jiang's father was discharged from the hospital.
Nowadays, when we see Xiao Jiang's father, we can clearly feel that he is well taken care of. The clothes are clean and tidy, the complexion on the face is also very good, and the ideas between the conversations are relatively clear.
The small house where the father and son lived was also cleaned. There are also glass squares with different patterns on the windowsill, which reflect different brilliance in the sun, and it seems to be a decoration in life, warm and bright.
Thank you very much for having "you"
Thank you is the word that Xiao Jiang said the most in front of the camera.
It turned out that at the same time that Xiao Jiang rushed to the hospital, the teachers and students of his class, Class 309 of Xiaoshan No. 5 Middle School, also raised funds for his father's surgery expenses as soon as they learned about his situation and sent them to him.
On June 11, in order to raise the medical expenses for his father's follow-up surgery and hospitalization, Xiao Jiang launched a water drop fundraising.
In the evening of the same day, the head teacher, Mr. Sun Xuejia, also forwarded the news in the school teacher group.
"It's my class leader, excellent in character and learning, invincible, conscientious, responsible, and kind person, may God favor this child and this family." "Dad is also a very serious person, and it's rare to see a high school parent-teacher conference and take notes seriously." "Parents are very kind, so they can teach children with a strong sense of responsibility and hard work." …… Behind the message of the head teacher, many teachers also left words of cheering, not only donating themselves, but also driving relatives and friends to participate in the donation by posting a circle of friends. Under the promotion of the teachers of the school, the 100,000 yuan water drop was raised on the morning of the 12th, and Xiao Jiang's father was able to successfully carry out the operation.
In addition, with the help of the Youth League District Committee, 50,000 yuan was also raised for Xiaojiang through the pro-youth fundraising platform.
Not only that, Xiao Jiang's application for scholarship to the Zhejiang Youth Development Foundation was also successfully approved, becoming the first student to receive the 2024 "Hope Project· Dream University" - Zhejiang University Student Scholarship Program, and the university will receive 15,000 yuan in four years.
……
Xiao Jiang has a notebook on which he remembers every donation clearly. "I didn't expect to receive so much care and help, I really appreciate it, the above pen is full of love, which I need to remember and reciprocate." The tall and thin boy had a dark face, but the light in his eyes was firm.
After the water drops were raised, there were still teachers, friends, relatives and friends who sent donations, but Xiao Jiang declined, and Wang Danni, secretary of the Youth League Committee of Xiaoshan No. 5 Middle School, told reporters, "This is a very sensible and responsible child." ”
Although she is not a class teacher, there is one thing that makes Wang Danni deeply impressed by Xiao Jiang.
Every Saturday afternoon after school in the third year of high school, there will be a student on duty who needs to clean up the final hygiene, turn over the tables and chairs and then leave. As the class leader, Jiang Zhefu will stay every week to finish up and make sure that the classroom is clean before going back.
Xiao Jiang also used his actions to prove to those who care about him that he can!
Although my father's condition has been stabilized temporarily, he will still need to undergo long-term radiotherapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, etc., which will be a lot of money for this not wealthy family. In order to help the family reduce some of the burden and take care of his father's three meals, Xiao Jiang chose the job of a takeaway delivery person.
The hot dog days have made it more difficult to deliver takeaways. Although the competition for delivery workers in this area where Xiao Jiang lives was not fierce before, due to the large place, the distance between the order receiving and delivery points is often long, and every day, his clothes are always wet with sweat and dried by the sun again and again.
"It's not just hot, but I'm nervous because I'm worried that I'll run out of time and that my meal will be spilled. At first, I was unfamiliar with the road, and I got lost several times. "The first time he came into contact with food delivery, Xiao Jiang found that it was not an easy job, and while delivering food, he also remembered the way and groped for experience." It was also a special experience for more than a month, and it also allowed me to grow and learn a lot. ”
Now, with the help of the streets and community of Ningwei, Xiao Jiang has found a more flexible summer job, which is located at a postal express station near the community, so that he can take care of his father and subsidize his family at the same time. "This is also a new learning process, I think I ask more questions, learn more, and I will always learn thoroughly."
The future will be better
believes that Jiang Zhefu can, not only himself, but almost everyone who has come into contact with him believes: This child who can endure hardships, is willing to use his brain, and has a sense of responsibility will definitely be able to!
Applying for Nanjing Normal University, Xiao Jiang chose to major in social sports guidance and management. And the "transformation" from an ordinary student to a sports student was decided by Xiao Jiang in the first semester of his third year of high school.
"He came to me and told me he had made up his mind and wanted to rush." The school's track and field coach Mr. Tang Huanjiong was still deeply impressed by the picture at that time, such a "halfway transformation" was not an easy thing, but considering that Xiao Jiang's usual sports performance was very good and had a foundation, Mr. Tang still decided to let him try.

In this way, for about 6 months before the college entrance examination, Jiang Zhefu had to carry out physical training with the school's track and field team every day, from 2:30 to 5:30 in the afternoon, and had to practice before the physical education exam.
800 meters, 100 meters, standing long jump, shot put, four events, each has to be practiced from scratch.
At the beginning, Jiang Zhefu's shot put performance has not improved, so he went to Teacher Tang for guidance in every physical education class, and practiced under the teacher's nose. "He came to almost every gym class at the time, so I went to see if he was here later." Mr. Tang said with a smile that not only to endure hardships, but also to refine the key points of the action by himself, and the results will come out after a while. "He's got a lot of brains and talent." Teacher Tang affirmed, "Later, I was sorry, if he had chosen to follow the path of a sports student earlier, he might have been able to sprint to a better school." ”
In May this year, in the provincial sports professional unified examination, Xiao Jiang scored 92 points. "To get more than 90 points, this kid has to be very good in everything." Teacher Tang explained.
"I am grateful to my teachers and teammates." Xiao Jiang said that he felt that the most difficult thing at that time was 800 meters, which was an event that required explosiveness, endurance, and skills. "At the beginning, I couldn't keep up with everyone else, so my teammates took me with me, encouraged me and told me about their own experience. Coach Tang also took us to run again and again, and took me to gnaw down the difficult points one by one. Speaking of that training time, Jiang Zhefu felt very warm, in order to keep his cultural class from falling behind, the head teacher Mr. Sun also helped contact the teachers of various subjects to find resources, summarize the class content, and make up the exercises.
