Some people say that "it is difficult to get a noble son in the cold door", and it is more and more difficult for children in rural areas to get into good schools!
In fact, the family is well-off, so that the children can win at the starting point; but poverty does not block all the roads of rural children.
Whether or not the fate of poverty can be changed is not based on birth, but on a person's attitude towards poverty.
Balzac said: "Suffering is a stepping stone for genius, a wealth for the strong, and an abyss for the weak." ”
In 2018, a popular network of "Thanks to Poverty" saw countless people crying.
It is said to be a popular network article, but it is a real thing.
The "I" in the article has two younger brothers, as well as my grandfather and grandmother, and the family of 7 lives only on two acres of barren land and the meager income of my father's part-time work.
The three children in the family read, the younger brother went to kindergarten, and I went to Zaoqiang Middle School with my eldest brother, which made this already poor family more difficult.
The first time I felt the taste of poverty was because my grandfather was ill, the family was anxious and panicked, and it was difficult to squeeze out life-saving money by tightening the belt of my pants.
With the death of my grandmother, the 8-year-old me felt suffocated by poverty for the first time, which was the real feeling of powerlessness and the pain of drilling the heart.
It is said that God closes a door and opens another window for you; but the reality is that God closes a door and often forgets to open a window for you.
In my childhood memories, poverty has always been accompanied.
The mother's health is not good, but she still needs to take care of her grandfather, who is unable to take care of herself, and the family can only rely on her father to work alone to survive. The mother needs to be careful to make ends meet.
After the third grade, my brother and I went to school in the township, but the food at the township school was very expensive. My mother, worried about us growing up, insisted on picking us up every day on a bicycle, regardless of the wind and rain, and insisted on it for three years.
In my childhood, I didn't have new clothes or shoes, I wore some old clothes and shoes from relatives, while my mother was still wearing the old school uniform from 20 years ago.
I didn't have toys, snacks, games in my childhood...
But my childhood was never short of happiness!
I could go with my mother to catch bugs and come back to feed the chickens; I could go to the fragrant wheat fields and sneak in the water while the adults were watering the ground; I could be with my brother and pluck the purple leaves of the mulberry tree and taste them contentedly.
Different people have different attitudes toward poverty, and some people are extremely disgusted and blame their parents; but I have to thank poverty, although it has narrowed my vision and stabbed my self-esteem:
Thank you poor, you made me believe in the power of education and knowledge;
Thank you for poverty, you have given me endless hope and the strength to never bow my head.
The "I" in the article, whose name is Wang Xinyi, was born in the new village of Zaoqiang Town, Zaoqiang County, Hebei Province.
Zaoqiang County is a poor county in Hebei Province, but this family, three sick, three young, makes Wang Xinyi's family poorer than anyone else in the village.
However, although life is bitter, it has not stopped Wang Xinyi's footsteps in yearning for the vast world.
From elementary school, junior high school, to high school, she has been studying well, her grades are among the best in the grade rankings, and the various awards she has received are plastered all over the walls.
In participating in various competitions, she won the provincial first prize of the National Basic Knowledge and Innovation Ability Competition for Middle School Students, the provincial second prize of the National Physics Competition for Middle School Students, and the second prize of the Chemistry Provincial Competition.
She likes to read books, likes to write something quietly, and the article "Yang Dai - The Quiet Watchman" that she once wrote won the second prize in the "Language Newspaper Cup" competition.
In 2018, in preparation for the self-admissions exam, because of the need for a personal statement, she wrote the article "Thanks for Poverty", which went viral.
Everyone was touched by this optimistic girl from a poor family, and even more infected by her story.
After many years, now that I am looking back on this article again, it can still make people cry...
Wang Xinyi did not stumble on poverty, which instead inspired her fighting spirit.
In the 2018 college entrance examination, she won the county liberal arts title with a high score of 707 points, and was admitted to the department of Chinese of Peking University, successfully moving from the countryside to a better world.
Wang Xinyi, who was admitted to Peking University, did not stop the pace of struggle, and the truth of life she tasted inspired her to grow tenaciously as always.
In order to reduce the burden on her family, when the acceptance letter of Peking University was sent to her doorstep, she was still working alone in other places.
She politely refused to be helped by others, but in Peking University, she subsidized her living expenses by doing odd jobs.
Perhaps for more than ten years, she lacked many material things, but she never lacked love, while enjoying the love given to her by her parents, during her studies at Peking University, she passed on her love to more people and participated in many volunteer activities.
In September 2020, Wang Xinyi also sublimated this love, and she took a pen from Rong and became a new recruit in the navy.
Rong is dressed up to the body, not to live up to Shaohua. She will be hardened into steel in the melting pot of the troops to defend her family.
Who said that "it is difficult to get out of the cold door"? Wang Xinyi proved with his own actions that as long as you work hard, everything is possible.
She often encourages others that if they can do better on the road of reading, they can go to the wider world.
Poverty is not terrible, those who cannot defeat us will only make us stronger! We must be optimistic in the face of adversity and water our dreams with knowledge. As long as we work hard and work hard, we can water the incomparably brilliant flower of dreams.
The 2021 college entrance examination is approaching, and I hope that Wang Xinyi's story can bring a cool summer breeze to the students of the third year of high school.
