Henan Business News (Reporter Chen Shiang /Wen Photo provided by the interviewee) "She picked up the child's heavy dreams, and she sowed the seeds of hope in the spring. This is the award speech awarded to Li Ling by the Organizing Committee of the 2009 Moving Chinese.
She is definitely a brilliant Henan youth. Today, in addition to her status as principal of Hope Elementary School, she is also a deputy to the National People's Congress.
17 years ago, Li Ling Hope Primary School landed from a blueprint, and now the teaching conditions have been greatly improved, the quality of education and teaching has been steadily improved, with more than 700 students and more than 30 teachers, and more than 10,000 students moving from here to a broader world.
She said that along the way, these achievements have been achieved little by little. Seeing General Secretary Xi Jinping's reply to the young people, she felt warmer and more motivated.
An epidemic has seriously affected the normal teaching order. In order not to let a child fall behind in online classes, Li Ling and his colleagues went door-to-door to return visits and bought smart phones for children whose families were difficult and did not have mobile phones.
The more than 20 orphans adopted by the school are the most concerned by Li Ling and his colleagues. She and her colleagues try to ensure that the children's learning and life are not too affected, so that they can always feel the warmth of the extended family and do not feel lonely.
"I am a deputy to the National People's Congress from the grassroots level, and for more than ten years, I have only done a little bit of what should be done, but the people have given me such a great honor. The people elected me as their representative, and I should represent the people. The more dangerous the moment, the more you have to stand up, and the more difficult the place, the more you have to charge forward. Li Ling said.
At the height of the epidemic, Li Ling donated 1,000 small national flags and masks, alcohol and other epidemic prevention materials purchased at his own expense, as well as convenient daily necessities such as meat products, dairy products, bottled drinking water, etc., to 6 epidemic prevention duty card points around the school along the way, and distributed the national flag to the staff of the duty station and nearby residents, "encouraging them to strengthen their belief in victory."
What is brilliant and how to become a brilliant youth? Li Ling did not answer directly. She said that just like the general secretary said that "greatness comes from the ordinary", as long as you treat every "small thing" in life with your heart, do the seemingly ordinary and ordinary "small things" as perfectly as possible, and do it unremittingly, in the end, the "small things" will become the "big things" that surprise you.
This is what Li Ling believes, and the broad masses of young people have responded to the general secretary's ardent expectations.
For the future, Li Ling told the Henan Business Daily reporter that in the future, she will always bear in mind the general secretary's earnest trust and earnest teaching, doubly cherish the honor, cherish the opportunity, do not forget the original intention, lead the teaching staff to base themselves on their posts, perform their duties well, do a better job in rural education work in a down-to-earth manner, fulfill the promise of "running schools at the doorstep of the people", let more rural children have schooling, study well, read good books, and study well at the doorstep of their homes, so as to cultivate more high-quality talents for the country.
"Now, youth is used to struggle; in the future, youth is used to remember. Hard work, no regrets; hard work, no regrets. This is the youth testimonial that Li Ling most wants to share.
