Twenty-nine years later, what happened to Su Mingjuan, a girl with big eyes eager to go to school?

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

However, as long as it never stops, 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 also needs opportunities, because only opportunities can guarantee persistence.

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

become famous overnight

1983, Su Mingjuan was born in Jinzhai, a famous poor mountain valley. At that time, looking around, no one in the village was not a poor household, and the ring was blocked.

In order to support his family, his father Su Liangyou had to get up early and get greedy. From morning till night, from fishing and sericulture to feeding pigs to farming, all kinds of farm work are included. When he finishes his day's work exhausted, he earns just enough food and clothing.

Therefore, Su Mingjuan, who suffered a lot from life, established the understanding that "knowledge changes fate" from an early age. Even if the traffic is inconvenient, the journey from home to school is tortuous, even if the teaching environment is miserable, the whole school can't even find a complete desk, and Su Mingjuan's desire for learning has never diminished.

Every day, she always goes out to school early, and when she gets to school, she opens her textbooks to preview. Perhaps no one knows except her, how many quiet mornings in the mountains were awakened by the little girl's reading sound.

Fortunately, parents are also very supportive of their daughters' studies. Although Su Mingjuan dropped out of school because of family difficulties, her parents insisted that the whole family scrimped and saved, and finally brought her back to class.

Su Mingjuan's persistence in studying also helped her wait for that decisive moment.

199 1 In April, 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 looked up unconsciously.

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

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

Later, the story became widely known. This photo of Su Mingjuan was named "Big Eyes" and spread all over the country as soon as it was released.

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

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

repay debt to society

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

Su Mingjuan, who is in the center of the light, naturally gets more attention and gains both fame and fortune. At the age of 65,438+04, Su Mingjuan was even invited to attend a conference in Beijing.

But this naive little girl was not carried away by the sudden fame. "Knowledge is power" is still her lingering belief. As usual, from primary school to middle school, she went to school, left school, read books, did her homework, and was diligent and meticulous until she was admitted to the Finance Department of Anhui University in 2002.

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

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

During the summer vacation, she even returned to Jinzhai, Anhui Province to volunteer as a teacher with her classmates. Looking at these innocent and lovely children in his hometown, Su Mingjuan seems to see himself at the beginning. She understood the children's lingering shadow behind their smiles because of their poor family, and even more understood their sincere desire to look up at the stars in the mud. And because she knows that 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 or 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 then made regular donations every year without interruption. The trickle gradually merged into the sea, and so far, the total amount of her donation to the Hope Project has been very considerable.

"Give me Mu Tao and give me Qiong Yao." This ancient ballad comes from The Book of Songs, and it has 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 repays the hope project with "Qiong Yao", and this traditional virtue of "dripping water, when the spring pours back" is just a faint glow of her personality.

Achieve life

After many years, Su Mingjuan grew and progressed in giving back to the society, and achieved a magnificent turn from "receiver" to "initiator". It is because of her pure and kind quality that she shines brilliantly in her 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 China Industrial and Commercial Bank.

In life, her children are full of happiness, and the children who grew up in a harmonious family atmosphere are smart and lovely, with a mother's generous and innocent personality.

In 20 17, Su Mingjuan, who was only 34 years old, was elected as the deputy secretary of Anhui Provincial Committee of the Communist Youth League because of her rising influence and persistence in public welfare undertakings in recent years.

After taking office, no one has ever questioned the Central Election Commission, which seems too young. Over the years, Su Mingjuan's contribution to society has long been a spring breeze, so I don't need to go into details.

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

Summary:

In Su Mingjuan, a girl with big eyes, we can see how a poor girl persists and waits for the moment to change her fate. We also saw how she did not change her original intention after becoming famous overnight, and finally rose to the peak of her life and reached the CPC.

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