Chen Zixu and his "slogan"

Chen Zixu, an ordinary villager in Wulipai Village, Lilingcheng, Hunan. Although the person is ordinary, the things he does are not ordinary.

Chen Zixu was born in 1935. There are six sisters in his family, and he ranks first. According to his wife, "In the second half of 1999, Chen Zixu suddenly came home to announce the good news, saying that he had taken some money from home and borrowed some money from others to help a college student raise tuition." At that time, his wife Only then did I realize that Chen Zixu had started to help others. His wife didn't agree at first. The family conditions were not good, and she had to spend her own money to help others. This was obviously unnecessary. Then Chen Zixu also discovered this problem, and then he began to find some big bosses to help support students.

Chen Zixu said, “One day in 1978, he was on his way to a business trip and saw a group of children wearing tattered clothes, some even without shoes, and felt very uncomfortable. From then on, he I began to have the idea of ????supporting the study of poor students. "Since my family was poor, I went home to farm after I was in elementary school. Reading is a particularly regrettable thing for Chen Zixu.

By 1999, the five children in the family had all gotten married, and he had reached the age where his father often said, "If you don't care about the elderly, you can do something good if you don't care about your children." So he started his career. The road to student aid.

In 19 years, I broke down 11 cars, traveled more than 70,000 kilometers, visited more than 500 Liling natural villages, more than 400 primary and secondary schools, and wrote more than 6 million words of student investigation notes, successfully helping 1,536 poor students were studied, including 373 college students.

There are many ups and downs on the road to student aid. I once fell down a hillside due to a tire burst while visiting a student's home. The exposure to wind and sun has become a common occurrence. Sometimes I even visit students to investigate. Regardless of your own body. Everything he did was for the thousands of poor students, and to show his sincerity in sponsoring students.

Investigation Notes

“How can a person who has no job, no employer, and cannot even build his own new house support poor students?”

This is the most popular question. At the beginning, the villagers and bosses of Wulipai Village had doubts. Even at the beginning, the villagers felt that he was defrauding everyone of their money under the guise of sponsoring students, and no one believed him. But Chen Zixu was determined and embarked on this difficult journey resolutely.

"At that time, the public security bureau brought more than 20 people, and the villagers thought they were here to arrest me." In fact, it was Chen Zixu who wrote a long letter about the student aid investigation of more than 20 students and sent it to the newspaper. The police saw the results of his student assistance in the report and came to his home to contact him.

His philanthropic deeds were seen by the general public, touched many people, and received high praise from society.

Some people advised, "I am over 80 years old, it's time to stop." But he felt that he couldn't stop. Chen Zixu felt that as long as he still had breath, he could still walk. , his road to student assistance will not end, and I believe the country will not let it end.
