I come from a mountainous area. I didn't become a doctoral student in Chinese Academy of Sciences, but I also made millions.

During this time, the automation doctoral students from the Chinese Academy of Sciences came out of the mountains.

What touched me most was probably not the sad childhood story mentioned in the doctoral student's Thank you, but that sentence.

It is awe-inspiring.

In fact, too many people in this world have told stories, big or small, but most of them only exist in personal memories. If someone hadn't helped to post the thanks online, the doctor's story might only exist in his own memory.

We don't praise suffering, suffering is not worthy of praise, and no one wants to experience suffering again.

However, the tenacity, tenacity and positive energy emanating from suffering are worth seeing.

This micro-story tells a group of people who came out of the mountains and fought back with their own efforts. These include:

Some people and their sisters were raised by their grandmother's meager income. My sister even gave up her studies for his college entrance examination. In the end, with the selfless help of his family, he passed the college entrance examination and started a business in Shanghai, and bought two houses with an annual salary of more than 500,000.

Others have never lived in a proper building since childhood. The only memory of their childhood and TV comes from the TV their father picked up from the garbage. Now they have become the media director of a video production company.

The following is a true story about them:

I was born in a small ditch surrounded by mountains.

My mother said that I almost didn't come to this world, because she had a high fever when she was eight months pregnant, and I was struggling in my stomach. Maybe I feel sick to my stomach.

In order to treat my mother, my father borrowed money everywhere, but no one wanted to lend it to him. He had to go to the village party secretary, guarantee a loan to 20 yuan in his name, raise money for my mother, and send it to the town to find a doctor to give her an infusion.

Finally, I was born. But our family is too poor to eat enough, let alone give me enough milk. Later, my father borrowed 5 Jin of corn, ground it into flour and cooked it into corn paste for my mother to eat. My mother got a little milk.

That's why my mother hasn't eaten corn paste for so many years.

When I grow up, our family is a little better, and I will steam a small bowl of rice for every meal. Our side is a high mountain (high altitude), and rice can only be bought, which is more expensive. They are potatoes and corn produced at home. I will also show off to my neighbors in the field that I ate rice today.

The rain in our mountainous area is particularly heavy. It often rains heavily outside, and it rains lightly in the mud house. Sometimes the shop is moved to a place where there is no rain. When you really can't walk, put the porcelain basin on the shop to receive water, and the quilt is always wet when you wake up.

Many times when it rains heavily in the middle of the night, my parents will wake me up, and they will dig a big drain behind the house to let the water out, otherwise our house will be washed away.

It rains every night, and we are all scared and stay up all night.

Last time, our dangerous house collapsed. Fortunately, people were fine, so we went to the cave overnight and lived in the cave for half a year before moving to the newly built house.

When I was old enough to study, there was no tuition at home. My father said that he would dig up money and grass (a kind of medicinal material) to sell, so he went over mountains to find it. But one night he didn't come back, so we hurried to find him. The whole village searched for a day and a night and finally found him in a pit.

It turned out that he fell from a rock and I don't know how far he rolled. When he woke up, he was already in the pit, but he couldn't move. When he found him, he was no longer human.

He was carried home by the villagers and lay in bed for several months. There is no money at home, and he has not been treated by a doctor.

In this way, my father was lame and the pillar of the family fell. This day is really hard.

Because I had no money, I went to school at the age of seven and went straight to the first grade. My tuition is often in arrears, and the teacher won't even give me a red scarf.

I never want it either. I know my family is poor and I feel inferior. I don't want to play with my classmates. I don't even look at other people's toys, because I dare not look at them for fear of arousing my terrible desire.

I am often late. At first, my teacher would ask me why I was late. Later, he simply stopped asking, and I became a late "recidivist".

Get up at five o'clock every morning, eat quickly and set out. In winter, when it is still dark, I will light the way forward. The grass on the road is old and the cloth shoes are wet with dew. Late for school again, wet shoes let it dry naturally and often catch a cold.

Later, my father mowed the grass for me regularly, which was several kilometers away.

Whenever it rains, my father comes to pick me up. I don't want him to pick me up. I have low self-esteem, and I hate my classmates laughing at my dad for being a basket case.

Finally, I went to junior high school. I watched my classmates eat and drink, and felt that the world was particularly unfair. I often cry alone in the middle of the night and pretend nothing happened in class the next day.

Besides eating and drinking Lazar, I have been studying. At night and during lunch break, I hide in the quilt with a flashlight and don't leave the table during class.

One day, I ate pickles and steamed bread, so that I was only 1.2 meters tall, dark and thin. This life finally makes me sick. I had a high fever and was taken to the hospital with malnutrition. The hospital's money was paid in advance by the teacher.

As long as I have a holiday, I will go up the mountain to collect medicine and sell it. Coupled with the poverty subsidy from the school, I finally finished junior high school.

The senior high school entrance examination was admitted to the best school in our county. Meanwhile, what about my tuition and student membership fees?

The income from collecting herbs was not enough at all, and I fell into despair. I went to town with Sanbo next door as a bonzi, but I would pick up a book whenever I had time.

It's time to start school. I can only watch the high school students on the other side of the river being sent to school by their parents with bedding.

I felt the money in my trouser pocket and became more desperate.

It's been a month since school started, and I have begun to give up the idea of going to school. Fortunately, I received a message from my mother that someone was willing to help me go to school.

In this way, I went back to school, and now I study harder, because I know that learning opportunities are hard to come by, and learning can change my destiny. Later grants, my own work-study program and the support of good people, I successfully finished high school for three years.

In order to reduce the burden on my family, my first choice was to apply for a free normal school, but I failed in the list and was finally admitted to the radio and television journalism major, facing the problems of tuition and living expenses. At this time, I heard that the salary of the electronics factory was high, so I went south to enter the electronics factory.

Two months' money is not enough. The village knows my situation, and each household has 1 yuan and 5 yuan 10 yuan to supplement it for me.

I finally went to Chongqing to go to college. During my college years, I received grants, scholarships and part-time jobs on weekends and in winter and summer vacations, forcing me to graduate from college.

After graduation, I stayed in a TV station in a district not far from the main city, and finally had my own economic source. At first, I was very happy.

However, after working here for five years, I am thinking that this is not the life I want. Can't enjoy the comfort of life. I should continue to struggle and repay those who have helped me.

So, I looked at my passbook, and I had the idea of further study, ready to go to graduate school. I continued to work hard and finally got my wish, and I was admitted to China Communication University as a graduate student.

In recent years, I have not forgotten my hometown except doing my job well. Our county is a national poverty-stricken county, and our township is a responsible poverty-stricken township in the city.

I want to make people in our hometown live better through my efforts.

I took the initiative to dock with village leaders to promote tofu firewood in our village. Finally, I set up a factory of turtledove tofu in our village, and the villagers planted tofu firewood in their fields to form a base. Many villagers can also work here and provide employment opportunities.

We also made a program on our TV station to promote the cooperation between foreign companies and our factory base, so that our turtledove tofu can be exported to all parts of the country. Next, we helped publicize the oranges in our county, so that the previously unsalable agricultural products were not only sold, but also the prices were raised and the income of fruit farmers was increased.

Now the county is promoting e-commerce, and I also introduce e-commerce in Taiwan Province to teach them experience. When I return to my village in the New Year, relatives and villagers often come to say hello and exchange ideas on how to develop, especially the blind date in the village will make the children take me as a benchmark.

Although a little ashamed, but more proud, more grateful. I don't know where it is without their help.

My experience tells me that only reading can change my destiny and my life. But doing something to make others' lives better is the greatest happiness in this life.

My mother died in childbirth because she insisted on giving birth to me. My father resented me for a long time.

Since my mother left, my father's health has gone from bad to worse, and the family's poverty is even worse. In order to support this family, he dragged his loose body like a snakeskin bag and worked in Jiangsu and Zhejiang all the year round, leaving me and my grandmother and sister to live in my hometown.

I remember one year on New Year's Eve, my father came back from Shanghai in the dark and just entered the door. When I was young, I was like a beggar's father and said:

"You are like a ghost."

My father burst into tears and sat heavily on the shabby bamboo chair. I saw the tears on my father's face and realized that I had said something wrong. I was too scared to make any noise by hiding in the corner. Sister also cried, grabbed the straw from the kitchen and hit my hand angrily.

Our village is stationed at the foot of the mountain, and it takes more than ten minutes to walk around the village. Our family is the poorest in the village, and the minimum living allowance given to us by the state has quietly entered the pocket of the village party secretary for several years.

Later, the village party secretary was arrested for corruption, and we realized the existence of this money.

In those years when my father went out to work, my grandmother took care of my sister and me. In order to subsidize the family, grandma used the little savings left at home to buy a few piglets and feed them well, hoping to earn more money to pay tuition for my sister and me after raising them.

My sister said that pigs eat better than us.

One night, some wolves ran down from the mountain and killed all the pigs. Grandma beat her chest and felt like crying, and her family suddenly lost its financial resources. Optimistic, she told us that she would not fall, even if she died, she would pay for our study.

Grandma gets up at 4 o'clock every morning, picks vegetables from the ground, carries the burden, walks more than ten kilometers and sells vegetables at the farmer's market in the town.

Grandma has been active since the pig was bitten by a wolf. After selling the vegetables, I went to the tea factory in town to make packing boxes for others. For five cents a box, grandma can make more than 400 boxes a day.

It was dark when grandma finished. She picked up the burden and found her way home in the dark.

When I was in junior high school, my grandmother had a sudden cerebral infarction, and I couldn't find a car to go to the county hospital in the mountains, so I left. When grandma died, ten fingers were harder than ordinary people, as if they had calluses on their fingertips.

In order to bear the burden of supporting the family, my sister had to give up her studies. At that time, she was already a student in a key high school in the county, and her grades were among the best. It is easy to be admitted to a key university.

After my sister dropped out of school, she took over the burden of her grandmother. Go to town to sell vegetables in the morning, and go to the tea factory to make boxes after selling vegetables. The boss felt sorry for our family, and the settlement price for my sister became 70 cents per box.

Every month, my father will send money back. With the money earned by my sister, my tuition will not fall behind. Like my sister, I was admitted to the county key high school as I wished. Three years later, I was admitted to a key university in Shanghai.

In order to take care of me, my sister came to Shanghai with me. She works and I go to school. When I was in college, four people in the dormitory, except me, were all Shanghai natives.

Sometimes they babble in Shanghai dialect, and I don't know what it means. Later, I understood, probably where to play after class every day, or where to travel during holidays.

When I was a sophomore, my father was working in a construction site in Yiwu. He once broke his leg and arm, leaving the root of the disease and could no longer work. He can only go back to that mountain, pick up a hoe and cultivate that acre of land.

There is a lake not far from our village. My sister and I especially like to see the mountains and villages far away from Hunan.

That kind of feeling, especially like leaving this place with a mission entrusted by the mountain and success.

Whenever I come here, my sister encourages me to go out, which is the task given to me by my family.

This task was completed when I graduated from college. With the excellent performance of the university and the recommendation of the teacher, I successfully passed the interview of a state-owned enterprise.

Working overtime and staying up late to talk about customers after joining the company. Outstanding performance in the second year, with an annual salary of more than 500,000.

After working in that state-owned enterprise for several years, I quit my job and started my own business. At present, I am working as an education and training company with an annual profit of one million.

I have two houses in Shanghai, one with my sister's name on it, and I bought one for my father in the county.

Now, our whole family lives in Shanghai, and we only have time to go back to our hometown during the Spring Festival. I still like to have dinner with my sister, walk to the lake and overlook our village, as if nothing has changed, but everything has changed.

I was born in the countryside. A few years before I was born, there were bigger houses built before-brick houses, a hall and a bedroom.

When I was almost 6 years old, the original place to build a house was the family area of the bank. A high wall surrounded most of the land where my house was located, and the brick house was knocked down.

My dad put away all the bricks and built two small spaces against the leftmost wall of the ancestral home (the wall of the newly-built bank family area on the right):

On the left is his and my mother's house, and outside is my house, each with a bed. There is a small TV at my parents' house, which my father picked up from the scrap yard.

Sometimes when I watch TV without sound or picture, my father teaches me to shoot TV.

On the far right side of the brick house, my father exposed a space for putting ponchos, and below it was a brick stove. The stove is actually a circular space surrounded by bricks, burning firewood. Some big firewood can't be burned at once, and we are reluctant to throw it away, so it is stored on the right side of the stove.

There is no toilet in the house and no place to wash. In a small place between the house and the fence, my father put a tribute barrel, and he took it to the vegetable field every day to pour it.

There is a small stool beside it, with cups and soap for washing. When washing, you go to the tap water pipe at the door to pick up a basin of water. Take a bath and boil a pot of water, then take a bath in the back.

The brick house has no windows and a green tarpaulin on the top.

The light in the room is not very good. When the sky is brightest, turn on the light in the room, because only the light between the brick and the tarpaulin is very weak and can't be seen clearly at all.

At that time, the bricks removed from the ancestral house were all used up in our present house, so my dad put them behind the house one by one and said that they would be used to build a house in the future. I moved a little, built a platform for myself to sit on, and read there every time.

But doing homework is impossible. My back hurts. I left a folding table and a folding chair at home. If I want to do my homework, I will move the folding table near the road (because it can't fit in front of my house) and do my homework during the day.

I have to walk more than 4 kilometers to school every day, almost 2 kilometers, and I can see students living in another village, so we will go to school together and arrive soon.

My father is an assembly line worker, and my mother is born disabled and can't see clearly. It is impossible for them to give me some advice on my study.

After the senior high school entrance examination, I had a chance to go to a good school, but I didn't understand the significance of learning at that time. I don't know what to do in a good school.

Another poor school contacted me and said that tuition could be exempted, and I would go happily as long as I ate for 200 yuan a month.

Later, I got two grades in the college entrance examination and chose a university in the province, but I went to a good major, journalism.

When I was in college, my dad thought my tuition was expensive, and he didn't let me work. He told me to study hard, borrow money to save some money (going to school is a big expense, and my dad never saved any money), and buy a van to transport, so as to earn more money.

After work, I told my dad what I saw in the interview. My father said: I don't understand that kind of big business. We do small business to calculate our income and expenditure and earn the difference in the middle.

I thought: I don't want to be a unicorn. If I can raise money, let's do something.

I work in Beijing, and my pre-tax salary in the first year of graduation is 9000 yuan. At first, I didn't get paid, so I didn't dare to rent a house. Sleeping in the basement with a buddy, 50 yuan a night, and then the first month of salary, I don't want to use it.

A classmate of mine started a business two years after graduation, and contacted me and asked her if she wanted to do it together. She is in charge of the text and I am in charge of the video. At that time, the trend of new media had not gone down, and I said yes.

At that time, I used to sleep only 2-3 hours a day, and then I got up in the morning to run the news, but fortunately I was young at that time and could bear it.

Later, the list gradually increased, and the trend of video became more and more popular. In all, we have formed a larger video team. I have worked with some teams that need videos before, and they still recognize my skills, so I will give me another list later, and I will let the people in the team do it, and finally I will supervise it myself.

I have been saving less money, so I gave it to a trustworthy friend who plays fund stocks and asked him to help me configure wealth management products, not too much, as long as it can offset inflation.

But I didn't expect this guy to surprise me quietly. When the price of bitcoin was low, he helped me configure two. Recently, I suddenly found that the balance was sufficient.

But I don't play with coins myself, so I put them there.

Because I am thrifty and want to earn more money, the income of part-time video is not lower than my salary, so I earn more than my peers.

But I don't think such income is enough. I want to buy a house in Beijing, so that my parents can live better, and I don't have to live like me if I want my children.

The road is blocked and long.
