However, on the eve of the college entrance examination, he once again suffered the misfortune of life - on June 5, his elderly father died of illness.
Chen Liang, who was in grief, cremated his father's body and walked into the examination room in pain and successfully completed the examination. On June 22, the results of the college entrance examination were released, and he did not live up to his father's last expectations, and his score crossed the second main line and became a prospective college student.
Today, Chen Liang is working as a summer worker while waiting for the university's acceptance letter. On the morning of July 7, in a holiday home in Butterfly Valley, Anzhou District, Mianyang, Chen Liang was wiping the table, cutting vegetables, and helping to make wood turkey... In his mobile phone, there are constantly strange calls, he answers when he is free, and then politely refuses the caller's funding; on his WeChat, dozens of people also apply to add him as a friend, almost all of them want to fund his study, but he has not passed the other party's application...
Facing the Red Star News reporter, Chen Liang recalled his father's last days, and the tears could not stop falling.

His college entrance examination --
Cremated father the day before the college entrance examination
He endured the pain of reference, and the score crossed the second line
On June 5, the last holiday before the college entrance examination, Chen Liang rushed home and took his father, who was lying on the bed, to the hospital for a nutritional solution. He had been praying that his father would get through this and see him walk through the university door. However, all this became a luxury.
In an interview with a Red Star News reporter, Chen Liang recalled his father's last days, and the tears couldn't help but fall, but he kept telling reporters that he was very strong.
Chen Liang said that his father, 65 years old, had been feeling sick to his stomach at the beginning of the year and making it difficult to eat, but in order to save money, he was reluctant to go to the hospital for examination. On March 1, at his insistence, he finally took his father to the hospital, but the results of the examination were like thunderbolts on a sunny day, which made him unable to return to God for a long time. The father saw his expression and asked him several times before he gave the report to the father.
"Esophageal cancer, but my father's expression was only a moment of solemnity, and his eyebrows were stretched out, comforting me and saying, 'Nothing, I can insist, you prepare for the college entrance examination yourself'." At that time, he tearfully asked his father to be hospitalized, but his father refused, "Although my father said it was okay, I knew that he was saving money and did not want me to be distracted from preparing for the exam." ”
Since then, every weekend, Chen Liang will rush home for the first time and take his father to the hospital for infusion. Every week, he would also take a vacation from time to time, go home to see his father, and take care of his life. Because he couldn't eat much food, my father gradually lost weight and went to the back of the skinny bone. At school, I was worried about my father all the time, worried that I would suddenly not see him. Chen Liang said.
On the morning of June 5, Chen Liang helped his father who had finished the infusion to prepare to go home, but his father suddenly fell, and although the doctor rescued him with all his might, he still could not perform a miracle. On the same day, Chen Liangqiang endured grief and cremated his father's body. The next day, on the morning of June 6, he returned to school to participate in the "expedition ceremony" and took the college entrance examination. When the exam was over, he returned home to deal with his father's affairs.
On June 22, the college entrance examination results were released, Chen Liang's test scores had just passed the second line (science), he told the news to the class teacher Zeng Hongjun for the first time, and both of them shed tears on the phone.
"According to the usual results, I can hit a line. This time, I originally thought that I could only go to the specialist line, and the moment I saw the results, I cried and silently told my father in my heart. Chen Liang whispered.
His relatives —
His brother and mother died one after another
His father was the only one who worked odd jobs to raise him
The 65-year-old father is Chen Liang's only relative, and the father and son have always been dependent on each other. Looking at the empty home, Chen Liang's sorrow came from it, and the scenes of the father and son's past were replayed in their minds.
In fact, Chen Liang originally had an older brother, but his brother died unexpectedly when he was 10 years old, and his parents gave birth to him. However, when he was more than 1 year old, his mother died of illness. "Later I heard my father say that my grandparents had taken me for a while, but they died before I could remember." Chen Liang said that in order to take care of him, his father could only work in the neighborhood, and the father and son had never been separated. "I still remember that when I was a child, my father helped people raise pigs, and the boss lady opened a kindergarten, and I studied in this kindergarten."
In the primary school stage, Chen Liang studied in the village primary school, in the morning his father went out to do odd jobs after making breakfast, at noon he ate at school, and went home in the evening to wait for his father. Sometimes, when his father came home late, he would take care of the chickens, ducks, geese and other livestock in the family, and then heat the dishes he cooked in the morning for dinner. When his father came home, he would sensibly run to the kitchen to give his father a hot meal.
Although life is difficult, his father has always taught Chen Liang to study hard and change his fate through knowledge. In junior high school and high school, Chen Liang studied in Xiushui Town and began to live on campus. But the father still did not stay away, working odd jobs in the local area to support the family. On weekends, Chen Liang returned home to clean up, wash and cook for his father, and feed the family's livestock. In the eyes of his neighbors, Chen Liang has been sensible since he was a child, like a "little adult".
After the college entrance examination results were released, the class teacher Zeng Hongjun specially filled in the volunteer for Chen Liang's one-on-one tutoring. On July 7, Chen Liang showed the Red Star News reporter his volunteer, and the first choice was a medical school.

In an interview with Red Star News reporters, Chen Liang's phone rang many times, all strange numbers. In the gap, Chen Liang answered a phone call, and the other party said that he wanted to fund him, but Chen Liang politely declined. On his mobile phone WeChat, dozens of people also applied to add friends, and many people left messages saying that they wanted to fund him, but he did not accept it.
"Xiao Chen, you can accept donations from well-wishers, so that you don't have to worry about tuition fees when you go to college." As long as you have a future appearance, can remember the help of well-meaning people, and repay the society well, well-meaning people will be satisfied. People who also worked in the homestay persuaded Chen Liang to accept appropriate funding.
However, Chen Liang still politely declined. He told the Red Star News reporter that in recent times, there have been too many people willing to fund him, some of them directly sent WeChat, hundreds of yuan to thousands of yuan, and some also said that during his college studies, they funded the monthly living expenses. "I grew up with my father, and I learned that as long as I rely on my own hands and labor, I can meet the needs of life. I'm very grateful to all the well-wishers, but I can now work as a summer worker, get student loans, earn scholarships, and work-study when I go to college, and I believe I can finish college through myself. He said.
Xiao Xingrong, director of operations of Butterfly Valley Linggu Mao miao holiday homestay in Anzhou District, Mianyang City, told Red Star News that originally their workers were doing a day's salary, but she would give Chen Liang a guarantee of 1800 yuan per month, and when Chen Liang went to college during winter and summer vacations, as long as he wanted, he could come to work at any time.
Now, Chen Liang is working as a summer worker while waiting for the acceptance letter. He said that no matter which school he is admitted to, he will study hard, graduate with the best results, and repay the society.
