Life is like an endless river, which runs through our long life journey. At the time of its origin, it may be short of water and intermittent; Halfway through, it may suddenly hit the beach, and the current is difficult.

However, as long as it keeps moving forward, there is always a glimmer of hope: one day, it will accidentally flow through a wide and humid plain and become a truly rich river. Life needs persistence, because only persistence can wait for opportunities, and life needs opportunities, because only opportunities can guarantee persistence.

Su Mingjuan, a girl with big eyes, is like this. It was her tenacity that brought her a photo that was popular all over the country. It was this photo that rewrote her fate and supported her to persist. Up to now, she has achieved a wonderful life of her own.

It became a hit overnight

In p>1983, Su Mingjuan was born in Jinzhai, a famous poor ravine in Anhui. At that time, looking around, there was no family in the village that was not a humble household, and the ring was blocked.

In order to support a family, Su Liangyou, his father, had to get up early and be greedy for the dark. From morning till night, he did all kinds of farm work, from fishing and sericulture to feeding pigs to farming, and when he finished his day's work exhausted, the money he earned was barely enough to eat and wear.

Therefore, Su Mingjuan, who has suffered from the hardships of life, has established the understanding that "knowledge changes fate" since childhood. Even though the traffic was inconvenient and the journey from home to school was tortuous, even though the teaching environment was miserable, the whole school could not even find a complete desk, and Su Mingjuan's desire for learning never diminished.

Every day, she always leaves for school early, and when she arrives at school, she opens her textbooks nonstop to preview. Perhaps no one knows how many quiet mornings in the mountains have been awakened by the little girl's reading sound.

Fortunately, parents are also very supportive of their daughter's studies. Although Su Mingjuan dropped out of school because of family difficulties, her parents insisted on it, and the whole family scrimped and saved, which finally enabled her to return to class.

And Su Mingjuan's persistence in her studies also helped her wait for that fateful moment.

In April, 1991, photographer Jie Hailong came to Jinzhai and walked into a dilapidated classroom to take photos of the theme of Project Hope. Su Mingjuan, who was only eight years old at that time, was still studying hard in the classroom. When he heard someone coming, he unconsciously raised his head.

The keen Jie Hailong was instantly attracted by her clear eyes, and offered to take a close-up photo for her. When Su Mingjuan learned that the photographer's uncle took photos for himself, the purpose was to call on social caring people to donate money to poor children like herself. After the donation reached a certain amount, all the children could enter the classroom to study hard, so she chose to actively cooperate.

So, under the guidance of the photographer from Jie Hailong, the little girl spread out the textbook on the desk, clenched the pencil in her hand, posed at her desk and looked at the camera in the other hand. "Click", her big clear eyes full of curiosity were recorded by Jie Hailong's camera.

The later story is well known. This photo of Su Mingjuan, named "Big Eyes", was released and spread all over the country.

At that time, computers, mobile phones and other electronic devices were still underdeveloped. However, with the overwhelming publicity of newspapers and TV programs all over the country, the "girl with big eyes" quickly became a household name. After seeing this photo, countless caring people were deeply moved and generously donated money to join the team of Project Hope.

Countless parents were deeply moved after seeing the photos, and taught their children to be like the girl in the picture and never give up their studies. "Big Eyes" has become the propaganda symbol of Project Hope, and Su Mingjuan, who became popular overnight, has also become the image ambassador of Project Hope.

Giving back to the society

Su Mingjuan's overnight popularity has brought a steady stream of donations to Jinzhai, Anhui Province, and children have the clean and tidy classroom they once dreamed of almost instantly, which has become an important guarantee for them to continue their studies in the future.

Su Mingjuan, who is in the center of light, naturally attracted more attention, and fame and fortune poured in. At the age of 14, Su Mingjuan was even invited to attend a meeting in Beijing.

But this innocent little girl was not carried away by the sudden fame. "Knowledge is power" is still her lingering belief. As usual, she went to school, finished school, read books and did her homework, diligently and meticulously, from primary school to middle school, until she was admitted to the Finance Department of Anhui University in 22.

During her college years, Su Mingjuan never squandered money, but still worked part-time. The school learned that her family was poor, and specially gave her a grant, but she didn't take any points and transferred all the grants to other poor students who needed help.

It is not easy for her to do this, but she never thought that the experience of being helped as a child also planted a good root in her heart-besides work-study programs, Su Mingjuan also actively participated in social welfare activities and actively helped others in need.

During the summer vacation, she even returned to Jinzhai, Anhui Province with her classmates to volunteer to teach. Looking at these innocent and lovely children in her hometown, Su Mingjuan seemed to see herself at the beginning. She understood the lingering shadow behind the children's smiles because of their poor family, and she knew more about the children's sincere desire to look up at the stars while they were in the mud. And because she knows, she chose me to do my best.

After graduating from college, Su Mingjuan successfully entered the bank and became the "golden phoenix" flying out of the ravine. No matter how high and far this "golden phoenix" flies, she has never forgotten where she came from and the branches where she once lived.

So, after earning the first salary in her life, she donated the money to Project Hope without hesitation, and made regular donations every year since then, without interruption. The trickle has gradually gathered into the sea, and up to now, the total amount of money she donated for Project Hope has been very considerable.

"Give me a peach and repay it with Qiong Yao." This ancient ballad came from the Book of Songs, and it was quietly merged into Su Mingjuan's blood under the influence of countless sun and moon.

In her body, we seem to feel that Su Mingjuan herself has become such a "Qiong Yao" when she repaid her hope project with "Qiong Yao", and this traditional virtue of "dripping water, when the spring pours back" is the faint glow of her personality.

Achieving Life

After many years, Su Mingjuan has been growing and making progress in the feedback society, and has achieved a magnificent turn from "recipient" to "sponsor". It is precisely because of her pure and kind quality that she shines brilliantly in both work and life. At work, she is smart and capable, and she is promoted step by step. She is the deputy secretary of the Youth League Committee of Anhui Branch of Industrial and Commercial Bank of China.

In life, she has both children and happiness. The children who grew up in a harmonious and harmonious family atmosphere are smart and lovely, and have a generous and pure character like a mother.

In p>217, Su Mingjuan, who was only 34 years old, was elected as the deputy secretary of Anhui Provincial Committee of * * * Youth League because of his rising influence and dedication to public welfare for several years.

After taking office, no one has ever questioned the election of this seemingly too young CPC. Over the years, Su Mingjuan's contribution to society has long been a spring breeze, so there is no need to repeat it.

In June of the following year, with the assistance of Anhui Hope Project Office, the "Su Mingjuan Scholarship Fund" named after her was finally established, and Su Mingjuan's wonderful life continued.

Summary:

In Su Mingjuan, a "girl with big eyes", we saw how a poor girl struggled and waited for the moment to change her fate. We have also seen how she did not change her mind after she became popular overnight, and finally rose to the top of her life, reaching the deputy department level.

Life may be unpredictable, but we still need to remind ourselves that only persistent efforts and persistence can wait for the opportunity to change our destiny, and after the opportunity comes, only persistence can make us continue to flow on this basis, like a river, and finally merge into the endless sea of life.
