Hebei Youth Daily reporter met Wang Xinyi in Baoding on the 29th. She is young and has a confident smile on her face.

I hesitated a little when I started writing. Because I don't know how to tell this story about myself, poverty and hope.

1、

Is it worldly to talk about money? Don't!

I was born in Xincun, Zaoqiang Town, Zaoqiang County, Hebei Province. Zaoqiang County is a poverty-stricken county in Hebei Province, with extremely low per capita income. I have two younger brothers. My brother and I are studying in Zaoqiang Middle School, and my younger brother is still in kindergarten. The family only lives on two acres of wasteland and the meager income of their father's part-time job.

The world of children is not so worried and heavy. I first faced the truth about poverty and life when I was eight years old. Grandma was diagnosed with breast cancer that year, and the quiet life was like a stone thrown on the lake, which was suddenly broken. The family is anxious and panicked, but it is difficult to squeeze out life-saving money from the hands of the poor. Grandma's life is like a candle destined to go out, slowly weakening and burning out until she loses the last ray of light.

Grandma worked hard all her life, but she didn't get a day off. She still remembers the livestock and crops in the hospital bed. The death of my hardworking grandmother made me feel strangled by poverty for the first time. Money may not save grandma's life, but the economic difficulties did push the family to the abyss of despair.

I clearly remember those gloomy days, when my mother cried silently and helplessly, and I began to understand: Is it secular to talk about money? No, it's not. It gives us the most basic living guarantee, and also lets us try our best to keep those precious people and things. And these also make sensitive me realize that life has just unveiled her veil.

The road of life is not for others to see.

My brother, who is one year younger than me, and I have set foot on the road to study one after another, which has added a lot of financial burden to our family. Mother can't go out to work because of physical reasons, and also because of unattended farm work and grandfather who can't take care of himself. She can only rely on her father to work to support her family. Father's job is unstable and his salary is pitiful. The daily expenses of the family depend on my mother's careful calculation to make a living.

The medical expenses of grandparents and mothers for one year are also a big expense. When grandma was ill, the family owed a lot of debts, which inevitably saved money on clothes. If relatives have older children, they will bring some old clothes to my house. Some clothes that can still be worn were washed by my mother and put on my brother and me.

She often says that it is not good to wear clothes, just clean and warm. It is not difficult to understand why my mother is still wearing the school uniform of 20 years ago. My brother and I are also very obedient, and we never clamor for new clothes and shoes.

But some students in my class inevitably laughed at my broken shoes, old clothes and strange collocation. I remember that on the first day, a boy mocked me too much for a cotton-padded jacket with "dirt falling off" on its sleeve. I went home crying and told my mother that she just said, "Ignore him and do things realistically."

Yeah, why care about vulgar comments? Just based on your appearance and clothes. If he can't see your inner self and ignores him, the road of life is not for others to see after all. I wore that dress in junior high school for three years, and I still remember that sentence.

Happiness is trying to embrace the beauty and sunshine you see.

Besides clothes, going to school brings another problem: transportation. You can go to the village in the lower grades, and you can't go to the village school until the third grade. There is a bike at home. I sit in the back seat, and my brother can only sit on the front beam with his legs crossed. In the eyes of others, it seems to be "acrobatics", which made my brother persist for three years.

At that time, the road into the village had been broken, and the cement slabs were broken into pieces, which made it very bumpy to walk. A lot of water accumulates when it rains, but my mother never misses every bus. In fact, we could have boarded at school once a week, but the food in the village school was really expensive, and my mother was worried that we would grow up, but she was weak. Sometimes it is inevitable to let us get off the bus and run for a while, so running one kilometer to and from school every day has become an exercise method for my brother and me.

I remember once it snowed. The snow was a foot thick and the car couldn't get out. My mother, wrapped in a cotton-padded jacket, walked to the school to meet us against the wind. I don't know how much snow fell on my mother's face along the way, but my brother and I were very excited. While playing with the snow, we told our mother the new knowledge we learned today.

So the three of us didn't get home until dark. At that time, I understood that happiness is not because life is perfect, but because you can ignore those imperfections and try your best to embrace the beauty and sunshine you see.

Although poverty hurts my self-esteem, I still want to say: thank you!

Poverty brings more than pain, struggle and confusion. Although it narrowed my vision, hurt my self-esteem and even indirectly killed the people I love, I still want to say thank you, poverty.

Thanks to poverty, you made me feel real happiness and satisfaction. You completely isolated me from toys, snacks and games, but at the same time, you also let me embrace a better world.

My childhood may be short of cartoons, but I can catch bugs with my mother and feed them to chickens, waiting for delicious eggs the next day; There may not be Barbie dolls in my world, but I can secretly play with water in the fragrant wheat fields when adults are watering the land; I lack snacks in my spare time, but I can accompany my brother, climb the tall mulberry tree behind the house, pick the purple leaves and lean on the branches to taste them with satisfaction.

Thanks to poverty, let me get in touch with the beauty and magic of nature and enjoy the grace and blessings from heaven. I am a child of the land, and I deeply love the solid and simple yellow land under my feet; I come from a humble place, and I have also learned the nutrients of life from a humble place.

Thanks to poverty, you made me firmly believe in the power of education and knowledge. The lack of material brings nothing more than two results: one is the extreme poverty of the spirit, and the other is the extreme enrichment of the spirit. And I, choose the latter.

I come from an ordinary family and am obsessed with education and knowledge. Mom said that this is a road to a wider world. Since then, the belief that knowledge can change fate has been deeply rooted in my heart.

My mother taught me to recite poems and count early, so that I could recite many Tang poems at the age of one. The light from truth and wisdom finally illuminates my naive and ignorant heart through the fog in my heart. Poverty may shake many beliefs, but it makes me more persistent in believing in the power of knowledge.

Thanks to poverty, you gave me endless hope and never bowed my head. Farmers all know that when sowing seeds, they should be buried in the soil and trampled heavily. I was surprised to sow seeds for the first time. How can the seedlings break through the ground when they step so steadily? But my mother told me that if the soil is loose, the seedlings can't come out. Only when the soil is solid before breaking ground can the seedlings grow stronger. When I grew up and recalled these words, I realized that I was like this.

I don't believe in the lines of the palm, but I believe in the power of the palm and fingers.

"I don't believe in the lines of the palm, but I believe in the power of the palm plus the fingers." On the way to school, how many difficulties can't stop me from pursuing the truth.

In the senior high school entrance examination, I was admitted to Zaoqiang Middle School with the first place in the county. For three years in high school, I have been adhering to the attitude that "an excellent person is not as good as a happy person", looking for and discovering the fun of learning, and devoting myself to it, injecting inspiration and vitality into every day. For three years, my grades have been in the top three of my grade.

While studying the knowledge in class seriously, I also pay attention to expanding my extracurricular knowledge and actively participate in various competitions. I won the first prize in the national competition for middle school students' basic knowledge and innovative ability, the second prize in China's physics Olympics and the second prize in chemistry.

In addition, I am a girl full of curiosity and imagination. I like looking up at the sky, the endless and thorough blue makes all the dust in my heart disappear and return to peace; I like to tease flowers and plants. This gift and blessing of nature can be regarded as a "waste" if you don't spend more time enjoying it. I like daydreaming, which is the exploration of the soul and the search for self. My thoughts are soaring and swimming, leading me to distant places. I like to fly myself like this, keep company with my soul, and have a spiritual journey. At the same time, I am also a "young woman in literature and art", and I usually like to write something quietly. My work "Jiang Yang-Quiet Watcher" won the second prize in the "China Newspaper Cup" competition.

In everyone's eyes, I am a lively, optimistic and humorous girl, and I will sing a song to everyone from time to time to scare everyone out of the dormitory; I often tell jokes to my friends (listening to my jokes can really practice my abdominal muscles). Students will also ask me for help when they encounter problems in their study or life, and I will enjoy it and help them with all my strength. At the same time, I am by no means a two-legged bookcase that turns a deaf ear to things outside the window. On campus, I have been the monitor of the class, serving the class wholeheartedly, and participating in the organization and hosting of various school activities, and was rated as an outstanding student cadre at the provincial level; Outside of school, I also devoted myself to social practice and service work, and participated in activities such as cleaning streets and respecting the elderly in nursing homes, which was well received by everyone.

Three years, is it bitter? Very bitter. The birth of my little brother, and my brother and I were admitted to Zaoqiang Middle School, inevitably put the family economy in a greater predicament, and also made me realize the burden on my shoulders. I am the boss, and I must support the hope of this family. As a result, pressure turned into motivation, and this belief and responsibility inspired me to move forward all the way. I wear my school uniform all year round. My daily meal is monotonous cabbage steamed bread porridge, and eggs are added as a reward after my grades improve. But three years, it's sweet. "You have played enough in it, and you don't know if your mouth and body are not like people." The pleasure of exploring new knowledge far exceeds the bitterness and salty taste of sweat. With the teacher's earnest instruction, the sincere friendship of classmates and the care of the school, what are those hardships?

Wang Xinyi, who works in Baoding, intends to earn part of her tuition with her sweat.

In many netizens' messages, many people expressed the idea of subsidizing their favorite families. When our reporter relayed this situation to her, I like to write this passage-

I really didn't expect my article to cause such a big response and touch so many people's hearts. This is unexpected, but it is also reasonable: because I always believe that there are always many good people in this world, and there is always more warmth around us than indifference.

From your warm message, I understand your idea of helping. Thank you for giving me more reasons to believe that beauty and light will eventually come, although it will come late!

However, the next thing I want to tell you is that this article was written by me before, and then a good-hearted person decided to help me. Their family not only helps me financially, but also cares about me in life, giving me love and care like family. Have you seen my picture? My clothes, shoes and mobile phone on which I took pictures were carefully selected, and now my conditions have been greatly improved.

Moreover, the funding mechanism of the university is now very sound and perfect, and the staff have given practical assistance after understanding my situation. I really appreciate all this and let me see a brighter future. I got your concern and love, but I don't want all the love and warmth to be concentrated on me. What I hope more is to pass on this touch and love and warm more people in need.

I know that there are many children who are in the mire like me, even worse than me. Every time I see this on TV, my heart is always heavy. At that time, I was always looking forward to the day when my voice could be heard by everyone and I could have the opportunity to say these words:

If we have even a little ability, please don't hesitate. A little care and positive energy will make the world a better and brighter place. Every bit of our warmth will be needed and cherished.

University is both an opportunity and a challenge for me! There is uncertainty ahead, but it also means more opportunities. I don't want to be satisfied, but I want to be innocent. I will try my best to meet better myself in Peking University!
