Introduction: Yesterday, the rain poured down all day, the air was wet and cold, thinking that there would be no moon hanging high in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Yu Hua's sentence in "Hospitality" gushed out of his mind: "The poems of spring have not yet been written, and it is summer." I bought a lot of ice cream to entertain autumn. Autumn has come completely and utterly.
When I woke up this morning and looked out the window, the distant mountains, thin clouds and ocean-like sky exposed between the reinforced concrete were so transparent and fresh. In the evening, there are colorful clouds smeared on the sky, and it seems that the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival has lived up to expectations and has arrived as scheduled.
The moon is sprinkled with silver light, and how many people are "looking up at the bright moon and looking down at their hometown". Under the autumn moon, I hummed softly "Mom, under the moon, with you I have a home..." Without my mother, I was sad in the reunion.
Teacher's Day has just passed, the breath of grateful teachers is still wafting, the Mid-Autumn Festival has led the poetry of reunion to Bixiao, and the Mid-Autumn Festival should also be Thanksgiving, grateful parents, so that we can enjoy the good time when so many relatives get together.
An old article, although the lives of the characters in the text have changed, in September this season of gratitude to think of them, there are still touching, when they injected a clear stream into the society, still nourish my heart -
Touched with gratitude
Wang Guiqin
He prides himself on being a strong man.
I firmly believe that tears are golden, but in recent times, my tears have become smoother.
Each of the winners of "Moving China 2004" has a touching story. Their stories touched the softest part of my heart, and I cried a lot the night I watched the party. Because moved.
The story of two people on that bridge made me understand the two words "thanksgiving", and I was touched by gratitude.
Xu Benyu was admitted as a graduate student of Huazhong Agricultural University in 2003. That year, he chose to volunteer to teach in a poor village in Guizhou called Dog Hanging Rock. What did this choice enduring for him? In April 2004, Xu Benyu gave a report at his alma mater, and his first words were: "I am lonely, very lonely, very painful inside, several times I woke up in the middle of the night, tears wet the pillow, I can't hold on..." There was no rhetoric, but the tears of the listener came out of their eyes. After the report meeting, Xu Benyu returned to Dog Hanging Rock, still following the rugged mountain road every day to teach the children, which is not an action that can be explained by rhetoric.
When the choice appeared, in order to let the sunshine of love shine into the mountains, Xu Benyu carried the decadent classroom with his childish shoulders and shouldered the responsibility that did not belong to him.
Xu Benyu shed tears again and again, because his students did not know that there were high-rise buildings in Beijing, because the children there did not know Jiao Yulu, Lei Feng, and Kong Fansen, because he needed to endure unbearable loneliness there... But he insisted, saying that he was a child of a poor family, that he had been helped by others, and that he should be grateful.
Gratitude is actually a familiar word, but we seem to be slowly forgetting it.
The nephew is a 21-year-old boy, he is going to college, he told me that their generation is very understanding and enjoyable, he has a male classmate, just went to college to buy a mobile phone, wear brand-name brands, no money to borrow, every time during the holiday, he owes a lot of money around him. His parents were ordinary farmers, and he never cared about the hardships of his parents' hard work.
Once back in the countryside, I saw a 189-year-old boy from the neighboring family, dressed up smoothly and smoothly, like a brother, and at a glance, he knew that he was a master who did not do anything, and his family told me that this child has now become a "grandfather", his mother cooks well, and his father speaks to him like a request. I find it hard to understand, at the age of eighteen or nineteen, what should be done to reduce the burden on my parents without studying, how can this be. The family also said that their parents would have to rely on him to raise them in the future, so they had to "love" them all the time. Whoops, whoops! How could such goods entrust him with the rest of his life? The lamb kneels, the crow feeds back, and gratitude is still the case in the animal kingdom, shouldn't the parents who gave him life and raised him adult deserve something in return? (It was later learned that the prince had his best years from weak crown to standing in the iron window.) ）
When the 38-year-old Tian Shiguo walked to the center of the stage of "2004 Moving China", a touch hit my soul, and Tian Shiguo, who was at the peak of his life, donated a kidney to a 68-year-old mother who was dying and full of longing for life. In our memory, the efforts of parents for their children seem to be taken for granted, because of the great father's love and mother's love, and when parents need their children to sacrifice, children will have all kinds of high-sounding reasons to escape. But Tian Shiguo has been able to feed back, be grateful, and face the world, his words are very plain, that is, he wants to let his mother, who is not easy in her life, live for a few more years.
Tian Shiguo held up the lamp to illuminate the life of his mother, and he let all the mothers in the world reap comfort.
Whenever I think about those shots, my tear glands develop because I really feel a kind of true feeling flowing, and "gratitude" is being injected into our veins.
Liu Xing'an, dean of Chengde Yanbei Computer College, has been engaged in education all her life, and in the 1960s and 1970s, she taught middle schools in the countryside, and now her students have spread all over the world and all walks of life. Every holiday, her students will gather together with her as the center, and students remember that they ate the poached eggs made by the teacher on the day of the college entrance examination, and when they took the college entrance examination, they wore Teacher Liu's watch into the examination room, and the cold winter was the cotton shoes that Teacher Liu bought... Dean Liu said that she did not remember most of these things, but the students remembered them in their hearts. Dean Liu's students will send greetings on special days, and the achievements in the work will be the first to tell her, ... Dean Liu said that my students know how to be grateful. Now the children are in better condition, the parents are doting, and it seems that they no longer know how to be grateful, because they think that everything they get is deserved. This year, Dean Liu should incorporate gratitude education into the moral education class of the college, so that students can understand the grace of parenting, the grace of teachers, the care of society, and let students be a grateful person and a person who knows how to repay society.
One of the things Xu Benyu's mother often told him was that when he was a child, once the family had no money to eat, and it was his mother who borrowed 2 yuan from the neighbor's family to get through the difficulties. Xu Benyu said, "What my mother said made me understand a truth: When others need help, reach out your hand." It is this simple and extraordinary realization that supports Xu Benyu to insist on helping people in need no matter how difficult it is.
We can't all be Xu Benyu, nor can we all be Tian Shiguo, but it is not difficult for us to be a grateful person within our own scope, sending greetings to parents, teachers, friends, and people around you on special days, raising our hands to give people help within our capabilities... That's enough.
