Twenty years ago, a movie named "Carrying Dad to School" was released in China, and received rave reviews. The story and plot in the movie were very touching. At that time, many people watched the movie with tears. Later, as a grateful and inspirational film, this film was played in schools all over the country, which touched students greatly, and some people still remember it.
"Carrying Dad to School" is based on a real case, and takes the growth of the protagonist Shiwa as the line, telling the story that he still hasn't given up his thirst for knowledge in the face of difficulties and oppression in life, and his immature shoulders dare to shoulder heavy burdens and inspire him to study, which has attracted countless people to tears for a while. The prototype of Shiwa is Li Yong, a child from the mountains. After the film was released, his story was known by more people, and he himself received financial support from the society. Many well-intentioned people helped him successfully complete his studies.
Tragic Fate
Li Yong was born in Yongji Village, Waxie Township, Ning County, Gansu Province in April, 1981. This is the fifth child born in this poor family. His mother was 47 years old at that time, and her father was 52 years old. The heavy farm work all the year round made him break down from constant overwork. Parents are ordinary farmers, and the life of a large family depends on the meager income of farming. The birth of Li Yong undoubtedly added a heavy burden to this family and made life even more difficult.
at the age of 6, the originally difficult life was once again worse, and Li Yong's father was paralyzed in bed. At that time, his brother was married, moved out from home to live another life, and his sister was married far away. There were only two sisters and three sisters left at home, but they were all studying at school and could not take care of their father who was paralyzed in bed. In an instant, the burden of life at home became borne by the mother alone, which made Li Yong feel unbearable. Since he was a clever and sensible child, he took the initiative to help the family do some work within his power, hoping to reduce the burden on his mother.
Time flies. In a blink of an eye, Li Yong has reached the age of going to school. He is among the best in his studies, and he is praised and praised by his teachers. Perhaps it is related to his extraordinary growth experience, just like the saying that "children from poor families take charge early", and Li Yong is particularly considerate and sensible among his peers. In 1992, Li Yong was promoted to middle school with excellent results. When he was in junior high school, he devoted himself to his studies even harder, with excellent results. In the third year, he signed up for the Chemistry Olympiad and won the first prize in Gansu Province, and successfully got the walking quota of Qingyang Normal School.
It was a trend among students to apply for normal school in that year, because it could shorten the study period, enter the job as soon as possible and make money to subsidize the family; For Li Yong, this is perfect. His brothers and sisters at home have already set up their own homes, and his parents need his care. His savings at home can no longer support him to continue his studies. It is the best choice when he goes to a normal school. Everyone around him is happy about this, but he did not expect that the bad news of fate will soon come to Li Yong, and his family will suddenly change.
It rained all night
Li Yong was successfully admitted to Qingyang Normal University, but when the hope came, the family changed suddenly, and his mother left the family forever because of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage. The death of her mother not only gave Li Yong a mental blow, but also added a material burden to him. After his father was paralyzed in bed, his mother was the pillar of the family, and everything at home and abroad depended on his mother. But now that his mother suddenly left him, the responsibility of taking care of his father naturally fell on him, but he still had unfinished studies. How should we weigh the two?
Li Yong was not intimidated by the sudden difficulties. In September, 1995, when Qingyang Normal University was about to start school, Li Yong made a move that surprised everyone. He decided to take his father to school. He took his father to the school with a cart, and lived a life of supporting his family, taking care of his father and studying at the same time. His father once thought he was a drag and had suicidal thoughts, but when he saw the child go to school behind his back, he decided to live well, and the father and son lived alone from then on.
In March, 1996, Li Yong's story of going to school behind his father's back was widely spread in the society. His filial piety touched many people, and caring people in the society expressed sympathy and donated money to him. The accumulated donation amount was 61,111 yuan. At that time, this was a huge sum of money. After Li Yong received these donations, he expressed his heartfelt thanks to these good-hearted people for their care and support. For him, this is not only the care of a family, but also a recognition of the spirit of self-reliance and self-improvement of young people in the west.
With all this money, Li Yong didn't live a rich life. He still scrimps and saves. After his father died, he donated the remaining 51,111 yuan to Qingyang Normal University, hoping to help more children finish their studies smoothly. In the same year, the film "Carrying Dad to School" based on Li Yong began shooting.
Academic further study returns to society
After the film was released, Li Yong's name was known by more and more people. Many viewers wrote to him to encourage and care about his life. One of them had a far-reaching influence on him. This letter came from an expert in a hospital. In the letter, he wrote that he hoped that Li Yong would not immediately devote himself to teaching after graduating from normal school, but should continue his studies and make greater progress for the society. Encouraged by such remarks, Li Yong devoted himself more to his studies, worked hard to improve his grades, and strived to be admitted to a higher institution.
In p>1999, Li Yong graduated from Qingyang Normal University. Because of his outstanding achievements, he was sent to Northwest Normal University to study. Because he lived a poor life since he was a child, he deeply knew the truth that "knowledge changes fate". At the same time, he still remembers the care and help of the loving power in the society, and he hopes that he can give back to the society through his efforts. After that, Li Yong graduated from Northwest Normal University, and he went on to get his doctorate from China People's Congress.
after graduation, he first went to an enterprise for an internship, but only half a year later, he switched back to Northwest Normal University and became a people's teacher. In his view, teachers are engineers of human souls, who can preach, teach and dispel doubts, bring help to more people and exert greater value and significance. At the same time, he also believes that his life experience can be an example for students on the road of chasing dreams, and his story can inspire and infect many people.
Although his personal strength is meager, when Li Yong spreads this spirit of diligence, persistence and filial piety to his classmates, it will affect more people to make contributions to society. It is not enough for a person to have knowledge. What is more important is to learn to be a man and cultivate noble moral sentiments. "Learn to be a man before studying" is the only way to cultivate talents with both ability and political integrity.
