"Big Eyes" Su Mingjuan

1991April, 8-year-old Su Mingjuan attended a class at Sanhe Township Central Primary School in Jinzhai County, Anhui Province.

20 19 10 2 1, Su Mingjuan took a group photo with the students of Dayan Hope Primary School in Qinu Village, Daga Township, Qushui County, Lhasa City, Xizang Autonomous Region. I was born in zhang wan, where there are few mountains and many places, and I have always been poor. The annual harvest of the land is only enough for the family of four to eat for three months. At that time, my father got up early every day to chop wood in the mountains and fish in the river, so he could only maintain the food and clothing of the whole family, and his life was stretched.

1990 going to primary school, books and miscellaneous expenses of 60 to 70 yuan per semester have become the biggest burden at home. The Central Primary School in Sanhe Township, Jinzhai County, which I attended, was converted from an old ancestral temple, and most of the students' homes are far from the school. My home is six miles from school, and I go back and forth four times a day. Usually I go out before dawn and get home after dark. Under such conditions, I still want to go to school. My parents bought five feet of cloth, sewed a small dress four feet, and made a small cloth bag one foot, so that I could go to school with my brothers and sisters in the village every day.

199 1 April, Uncle Jie Hailong came to my house, followed us all the way to school and took the famous "big eyes" photo. Since then, I have formed an indissoluble bond with Project Hope. That photo shocked countless people. Grandpa Deng Xiaoping donated money for Project Hope twice in the name of "An Old Man Makes party member". Zhou Tong, a primary school student in Tianjin, donated 27 yuan pocket money to buy Transformers, becoming the first primary school student to donate money for Project Hope ... Many poor children received financial assistance, and they opened the door to the outside world through study and changed their own destiny. Great changes have taken place in my school. My alma mater was converted into Hope Primary School, and a single three-story building was built. The classroom is spacious and bright, equipped with multimedia equipment and computers. The trajectory of my life has also changed.

With the care and help from all walks of life, I successfully completed my studies from primary school to university. In 2005, I joined a bank in Anhui Province and donated my first salary to Project Hope. Later, I became the Deputy Secretary of the Anhui Provincial Committee of the Communist Youth League (concurrently) and the Standing Committee of the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League. I grew up with the care and help of all walks of life. I will always try my best to help others when I have the ability.

2065438+June 2008, I initiated the establishment of "Su Mingjuan Public Welfare Education Fund". So far, the public welfare fund has received donations and materials worth more than 6 million yuan, and funded 20 hope primary schools and 15 freshmen. 65438+ This year 10 On June 8th, Uncle Hailong and I visited "Dayan Hope Primary School" in Qinu Village, Daga Township, Qushui County, Lhasa City, Xizang Autonomous Region. We are glad to see that the children here have improved their study and living conditions.

"Big snot" Hu Shanhui

1991April, 8-year-old Hu Shanhui was reading a text in Wang Lihe Primary School in Balifan Township, Xinxian County, Henan Province.

In May 2005, Hu Shanhui was in Tiananmen Square in Beijing. 1993, after my situation was reported, the first letter I received was from my sister Huang. She cut out my photo from the magazine and sent it to the school. At the back of the photo is written: Help this student. For more than a year, my sister saved 5 yuan from her monthly living expenses and sent it to me to buy school supplies.

With the help of many caring people, I successfully finished primary school and junior high school, and then joined the army. In 20 17, I became a high-speed rail passenger. In the key passenger assistance team named after me, the main task is to provide free services to those passengers who need help as much as I did in the past. I am the beneficiary of Project Hope, and I want to be the inheritor of love.

2065438+In September 2009, Mao Keying took a group photo with his own photo.

199 1 year, 14 years old, I am only in the fourth grade of primary school. Although my grades are among the best in my class, I have dropped out of school many times because I can't afford to pay for 30 yuan every semester. In order to get my parents to let me go to school, I collect dung, chop wood, dig wild vegetables, look after my brother every day, work nonstop, and kneel in front of my mother to beg "as long as I go to school, I can feed my brother without eating at noon", but I still can't do it.

1April 1992, my story and photos appeared in newspapers, which aroused widespread concern in society. Soon, a teacher from Qingdao Ocean University (now China Ocean University) and several college students gave me a helping hand, which helped me successfully complete my primary and junior high school studies. In order to help my family get out of trouble as soon as possible, I passed 1996 a local vocational secondary school and set up the love decoration department in the village after graduation. I made a rule for myself that every time I do a single business, I will donate 5 yuan to those children who are eager to study, so that they will not worry about tuition fees like me.

In May 2005, Su Mingjuan, Hu Shanhui and Zhang Tianyi (from left to right) took their first group photo before the group photo of the China Youth Development Foundation.

In May 2005, Zhang Tianyi was in Tiananmen Square.

199 1 when I was in the first grade of primary school, I got care and help from all walks of life because of a photo. In the third year of high school, the weekly food expenses were only 20 yuan. At that time, the daily food expenses of most students were about 10 yuan. The school provides me with meals in 200 yuan every month, and also reduces my tuition. In 2007, I graduated from Yancheng Institute of Technology and now I am a senior engineer in the field of automation. I have my own patented design, started my own business and contributed to the automation of China's manufacturing industry.

Over the years, I have never forgotten those kind people who helped me. Do your best to help the people around you. On the eve of college graduation in 2007, a classmate was diagnosed with rectal cancer. I donate the income from my usual work-study program and organize my classmates to donate. My first month's salary after graduation was also used to help him treat his illness. I heard that the "big-eyed girl" set up the "Su Mingjuan Public Welfare Scholarship Fund", and I also took out 5,000 yuan to do my bit for those children who were as difficult to go to school as I was at that time.

"Rollo" Ren Haibo

65438-0999, received free cleft lip and palate correction surgery in Xiaogan People's Hospital. After taking out stitches, I put on a small military uniform and saw myself in the mirror for the first time.

In 2000, former US President George H.W. Bush and Lolo (right) took a group photo in Beijing.

1993 On New Year's Eve, Ren's mother-in-law, who was nearly seventy years old, finished her meal early and just fell asleep in bed when she heard a baby crying at the door. When she opened the door, she saw a baby standing in front of the door in the heavy snow. Carrying her into the room, she saw that the infant was cleft lip (cleft lip and palate)-this baby was me. I took my mother-in-law's surname. My first name was Ren Haibo, and my second name was Lolo. Since then, I have lived in the mountains with my mother-in-law. When I was 7 years old, I was in the first grade in the town primary school. Often bullied and laughed at by older children, he dropped out of school in a few days.

1999 In late autumn, Uncle Jie Hailong came to Xiakou Town, Nanzhang County to collect the wind. At that time, I was herding cattle in the field. I didn't know he had a camera around his neck. I just watched him "click, click" at me. Later, my photo appeared in the newspaper, and Uncle Xie took me to Xiaogan People's Hospital for an operation. A week later, when the stitches were removed, my mother-in-law took out the mirror and I saw myself for the first time. The following spring, my mother-in-law and I flew to the Great Hall of the People in Beijing to see a photo exhibition. There were many people watching the exhibition that day. A tall foreign grandfather pulled me out of the crowd for a group photo. Later, I learned that he was former US President George W. Bush. In those years, many people extended a helping hand to me. 20 1 1, went to Beijing for junior college, and worked in Guangdong after graduation. During the period, I donated money to children in Daliangshan many times, totaling more than 6,000 yuan. When conditions permit, I will help more people in need.

Gao Huiyuan, a college student herding sheep.

On July 20 1 1, in Zhaojunfen Township, , in order to repay the student loan, Gao Huiyuan, a college student aged 2 1, used the summer vacation to go home to graze sheep. 20 1 1 July, my father worked outside for many years, and my mother trained two college students, my brother and me. My mother who went to high school always told me that knowledge can change fate. In order to repay the student loan, my mother and I did farm work together in the summer vacation.

When I was herding sheep, I met people who knew Uncle Hailong and his party. After learning about my family, several caring people are willing to help me tide over the difficulties.

20 14 I graduated from Inner Mongolia University of Science and Technology, and now I am a people's teacher. I hope the project will give children in poor areas a chance to change their destiny.

20/kloc-in June, 2003, Fan Mingzhu (left), Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Haidian District, Beijing, received a doctorate after 20 years of hard study.

I was born in the hinterland of Dabie Mountain in 1984. In the 1980s and 1990s, most families here were still struggling with food and clothing. In this environment, the purpose of going to school is not to become illiterate, and I am no exception.

1996 One afternoon in spring, several reporters paid a return visit to my primary school. During the break, the reporter asked us about our ideals. Some children say they want to be scientists when they grow up, while others say they want to be PLA. I think of my parents' hardships, and my tears are almost falling: "My parents are sick, so my family life can't go on, and I can't afford to go to school ... I want to be a doctor, so I can treat my parents in the future ... Uncle, after this semester, I won't come to class. I will help my parents at home ..."

A few months later, my teacher gave me a copy of China Youth Daily, which published the story of our children. At that moment, I realized that thousands of miles away, there are still many enthusiastic people missing us. After that, the school collected some donations to save me some miscellaneous expenses.

After that, I kept reminding myself not to disappoint people who care about me. This seemingly simple belief, like a bright lamp, has been lit in my little heart. After graduating from high school, I was admitted to Nanjing Agricultural University, and then I was sent to Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences for my doctorate. After I graduated from my doctor's degree, I came to the United States for postdoctoral research and achieved good scientific research results. I also have a pair of lovely children and a happy family.

In a blink of an eye, I have been in the United States for six years, and I will return to work in the near future to repay the society with what I have learned. I plan to participate in more public welfare activities related to Project Hope and fulfill my childhood promises.
