My child, studying is not hard, but life is hard if you don’t study.

On the second day of the New Year\’s Day holiday, I came back from outside and saw my daughter playing games in the living room. I\’m a little angry: You are playing again. Didn\’t the teacher leave any homework? Why don\’t you even read the book? The daughter said impatiently: Mom, I do papers every day until I vomit. Studying is too hard. I just have some fun during the holidays. I asked her, do you remember that uncle in the country? The daughter nodded: Remember, isn\’t he the great-uncle you often help? Yes. Last winter, I went to visit my grandma’s grave. As we were about to get in the car and return, we saw a man coming from the opposite side. Our eyes met and we recognized each other at the same time. According to seniority, I should call him uncle, but he is not much older than me. When I was a child, I often played with him when I lived at my grandma\’s house, and I preferred to call him by his nickname – Mingzi. Mingzi greeted me warmly, pointed to a house not far away and said: That\’s my house. We\’re already at the door. Be sure to go in and sit. Unable to refuse such hospitality, my husband and I followed Akiko into his home. The house was newly built, but except for a few beds, there was almost no decent furniture. I asked: Why don’t you buy furniture for such a nice house? Akiko scratched her head in embarrassment: I borrowed a lot of money to build a house. My wife is not in good health and takes medicine all the time. She has many children. I farmed and worked part-time at the same time. I paid back the debt as soon as I earned the money. My family has not bought meat for half a year. , the children are as greedy as cats. On the way home, my husband and I said: Life in Mingzi’s family is too difficult. Let’s help him apply for some relief funds if we have the opportunity. Before the Spring Festival, I went to a relevant agency to ask about relief funds. Mingzi\’s conditions were sufficient, but she only needed a letter of introduction stamped from the village, town, and city levels. I wrote the letter for Mingzi, sent it from my mobile phone, and asked him to find a place to print it out and stamp it. Several days later, Mingzi called in frustration and said: Forget it, stamp it level by level, am I afraid it won’t work? I was unwilling to give in, knowing that he just had low self-esteem and was discouraged. Fortunately, I knew a few people, so I called the staff in their town. The other person was very polite and said that as long as it was true, he would help solve the problem. Two days before the Spring Festival holiday, Mingzi finally brought me the stamped letter of introduction. I took him to the relevant organization to collect the money. When he came out, Mingzi said with gratitude: The children can have a good New Year, buy more meat to eat. He took out two hundred yuan and said it was New Year\’s money for my daughter. I quickly pushed it back: Come back quickly, we won\’t be able to take the bus if it\’s too late. In the cold wind, watching Mingzi\’s back walking away, my eyes were wet with tears. While everyone is clamoring about dietary nutrition, eating vegetarian food, and eating less meat every day, for Akiko\’s family, eating meat is still improving their food. A few days ago, my friend Ms. Xie and I were talking about some unimaginable poverty. She said it\’s hard to understand if you haven\’t experienced that kind of life. In autumn, a relative from her grandmother\’s hometown carried two baskets of grapes to sell and walked barefoot from home to the city. She was shocked that there were still people who were reluctant to buy shoes because they were poor. Ms. Xie said that there are many people like his relatives who live very hard lives. Most of them dropped out of school early and wanted to make money early, but they struggled at the bottom almost all their lives. I was lost in thought. When many people denounced the college entrance examination, I feltThe college entrance examination is actually very fair. If there is no college entrance examination and no encouragement to study hard, how can poor farm children achieve a counterattack in destiny? Last week, a reporter from the media interviewed me. He admired me very much, but I admired him very much. He is a top student at Fudan University. He was born in a barren rural area in the 1970s. He has loved reading since he was a child. He said that the first book he called a book was found in a scrap heap, and he has fallen in love with reading ever since. . He talks eloquently about humanities, history, and economic and current affairs. Because he also worked as an editor for the travel edition, he has a wealth of knowledge about the customs and customs of various parts of the world. Reading changed his destiny. In fact, there are many such people around me. There are two of my compatriots here in Beijing, one is a lawyer and the other is a senior executive of a multinational company. They all rely on reading to go where they want to go and live a life that others admire. Some people say: If you are afraid of hardship, you will suffer for a lifetime; if you are not afraid of hardship, you will suffer for half your life. It’s all about reading. Children, don’t save things that can be solved with sweat now and use tears later. Besides, tears can’t solve any problems. When you gain enough knowledge, you will find that there are too many beautiful things in this world. Only when you are tired can you know how to be free. Only when you have experienced bitterness can you realize sweetness. Life is like a piggy bank. Every effort you put in will be packaged and returned to you one day in the future. You can have what others have as long as you are willing to pay. If you feel that studying is hard and choose to give up, when you enter the society without reading any books, you will find that you are like an unarmed soldier. When facing the powerful enemy of fate, you will lose your ability because you have no protection. Armor, but was beaten all over with bruises, unable to fight back. At that time, you will understand that studying is not bitter, but life without studying is bitter. Don\’t be afraid of hardship, that is your way to the world. One day, those hardships will become your wings to fly in the sky. Fortunately, after several years of bitter cold weather, there has been warm spring in the countryside since then. Only those who are deeply immersed in the fragrance of books can sail through the mountains and enjoy the thousands of spring scenery.
