Big eyes and deep desire. She loves learning, she is diligent, but she is not a genius. It is not easy for her to walk out of the mountains and the countryside with books and pencils. When countless children came home with schoolbags and threw their books on the sofa to watch TV, Su Mingjuan tried to learn more knowledge before it was completely dark under the oil lamp. Plum blossoms come from bitter cold. Decades later, she realized her dream of college.

"I want to study"

199 1 When information dissemination was inconvenient, a photo spread through newspapers and shocked many people. It has aroused the profound thinking of countless educators, countless parents and students. This black-and-white photo shows a little girl named Su Mingjuan, who is only eight years old and comes from a small mountain village in Anhui.

In the photo, the girl is a clever student's head, with neat bangs hanging freely on her forehead, and the girl is writing with a pencil in her right hand. Her eyes are very big, which seems to reveal a trace of confusion when she is busy writing. Suddenly, she is interrupted to look at the camera, and it seems to be a trace of firmness and fierceness of "I must study".

Look at that girl's dress, it's a floral cotton-padded jacket, very simple and simple, and now it even reveals some rustic features. It seems to be a cold winter. The girl's hands are stiff with cold, and her face and hands are dirty, which may be some traces left by just helping her family with farm work. Although there is no extra color in the whole photo, the girl's eyes make the whole photo come alive.

This girl is Su Mingjuan. 199 1 may, the photographer took this photo and named it "I want to go to school". It is also because of this photo that the eight-year-old Anhui girl's big eyes eager to learn are remembered by China people.

This photo has inspired thousands of students who have the conditions to study, and also dealt a fatal blow to many ignorant compatriots who wasted their learning resources and brought profound reflection. When you wander around or even go backwards in the endless ocean of learning, some people have to spend their whole lives trying to meet the edge of knowledge. Think carefully, if it weren't for the hard work of the previous generation, how could we easily pick up a pen and spread out a book?

Multi-person assistance, national training

A photo reminds countless people in China of these big eyes, which sparkle and sparkle with thirst for knowledge. Because these eyes reveal innocence and purity, many people have extended a helping hand to her. Su Mingjuan's photos have been published by major media platforms, and she herself has become the image spokesperson of Project Hope.

When Su Mingjuan was fourteen years old, she set foot on the Great Hall of the People and became the youngest NPC representative. After the meeting, she was elected as "alternate member of the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League". Some villagers teased Su Mingjuan and asked her how much she earned a month. Su Mingjuan knows that this is an honor given by the country, and it is also an exercise for himself. Although there is no salary, she must remember to serve the country.

Su Mingjuan's hometown is very poor, and many children are in a state of lack of learning. Su Mingjuan is undoubtedly a typical representative. Mingjuan's parents are farmers, who get up early and get greedy every day, chopping wood and raising silkworms, but their income is very meager. Mingjuan's tuition fee is nearly 100 per semester, but it has become the biggest expenditure item in the family, which makes this precarious family on the verge of collapse.

At this moment, the appearance and support of Li Wan brought hope to this family that was about to collapse. Parents' frowning brows can be stretched for a short time, and the throat gripped by fate can also have a sigh of relief. With the arrival of the grant, there is a warm letter. For Xiao Mingjuan, it is not money that illuminates her heart, but this letter full of love and care.

Su Mingjuan put Li Wan's letter in a box. Whenever she gets tired of studying or encounters setbacks, she takes it out to read. Every time I read a letter, I can bring a different experience and spiritual strength to Xiao Mingjuan. Su Mingjuan was born in such a small mountain village, which was both lucky and unfortunate.

Although she was born in a poor family and lived in a difficult environment, she was blessed and cared by countless people and received the attention and support of thousands of strangers, so she was also lucky. After receiving Li Wan's support, a retired old couple learned the story of Mingjuan. They felt very sad and distressed for the little girl. After discussion, the two old people decided to donate all their pensions to Su Mingjuan for school.

Su Mingjuan's father learned about the situation of the old man, and Su Mingjuan said earnestly, "We can't take this money." Under the guidance of her father, Mingjuan returned the money to the retired old man, but the old man insisted on not accepting it. After consultation, Mingjuan donated money to Project Hope to help more people in need. From here, we can also see Su Mingjuan's good upbringing and helpful conduct, which is inseparable from her honest and upright father and loving and warm family environment.

Return to society

In 2003, without any economic pressure, Su Mingjuan got into a university in a small mountain village by virtue of his own strength, and realized his dream of university. She was admitted to the financial management major of Anhui University with good results. Tuition is funded by the state, and her living expenses can be earned through work-study programs.

After coming to the university, Su Mingjuan still performed well, studied hard and actively participated in the school's club activities. Su Mingjuan became the head of the Organization Department of the Student Union, and won a national scholarship with excellent results. It can be said that the cultivation of the country has greatly helped Su Mingjuan. Without the all-out cultivation of the country, there would be no subsequent success of Su Mingjuan.

After entering the university, Su Mingjuan wrote to the China Youth Development Foundation, asking the Foundation to subsidize the money she received each semester to other students with difficulties, so that she could be self-reliant and work-study.

During her college years, she also organized several classmates to take them to poor villages to teach, and tried her best to help those children who were out of school. At that time, there was only one child in the class, and there were really only a few walls left in the house, not even a pot. Su Mingjuan and others chipped in to buy a jar for the children's house, and left a thousand dollars for the children's house when they left.

After graduation, Su Mingjuan successfully entered a bank, and several years passed quickly. She never saw the shadow of the poor helpless little girl again, but the crow fed back. Since joining the work, Su Mingjuan has spent part of his salary every year to help poor students, and it has never stopped. Maybe he experienced it personally, and Su Mingjuan knows this helplessness better.

Every New Year, the Su Mingjuan family will repay those who helped them with their wishes, sometimes bacon, and sometimes their own soles. The real beauty of life lies not in beauty itself, but in the transmission and gratitude of beauty. Su Mingjuan showed us an inspiring and beautiful image through personal experience.

Today, Su Mingjuan is 37 years old and is the mother of two children. She also set up a "Su Mingjuan Scholarship Fund" of 30,000 yuan to help poor children like her.
