Three years ago, what happened to the boy who walked 9 kilometers on the mountain road to school every day, with ice flowers on his head?

What does winter mean? For ordinary families, winter means the white snow outside the window, leisurely family reunions, and steaming meals on the dining table.

But all this is undoubtedly a luxury for people from poor families. In winter, apart from countless colds, there is almost nothing worth looking forward to. For these people, winter means the beginning of a nightmare.

In fact, in 2018, Wang Fuman, who was less than 10 years old at the time, had already experienced the hardships of life that many children may not be able to experience in their lifetime. But even bad weather and rugged mountain roads cannot stop an ordinary mountainous child from determined to go to school.

The boy with a head full of "white hair"

In this world, there are always some people who clearly have good resources in their hands, but are unwilling to put in all their efforts. Go and learn. But how many people understand that there are still many children in this world who are eager to study and go to school, but are forced to be very helpless by the external environment.

Once upon a time, a photo became popular on the Internet. In the photo, a little boy is wearing thin clothes that are completely inappropriate for this season. His round little face is red from the cold, and his hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes are covered with frost.

This boy is called Wang Fuman. He lives in a remote mountainous area in Zhaotong City, Yunnan Province. He is a left-behind child. Since his parents go out to work all year round, Wang Fuman can only live with his sister Wang Fumei and his elderly grandmother.

Wang Fuman's family conditions are really poor. Except for a small amount of living expenses that his parents may send on time, Wang Fuman stays at home and his only source of income is raising pigs. Young Wang Fuman often had to go to the mountains to cut pig grass after school.

It is true that the children of the poor have become the master of the family early, and Wang Fuman took on the important task of supporting family life at a young age. Even in order to go to school every day, his small body needs to climb "thousands of mountains and mountains" and cross "numerous obstacles".

Since he has too few clothes, he may only have one or two fully patched pieces in a season, so he does not dare to get his clothes dirty. Because he knew that once his clothes were stained and needed to be washed, even if it was icy and snowy outside, he would still have to wear thin clothes that were not suitable for the season to go to school.

That was exactly what happened that day. Because the road to school was 9 kilometers long and the weather was particularly bad, Wang Fuman’s only cotton-padded jacket was washed. So in desperation, Wang Fuman could only wear thin clothes and walked for a full hour and a half in the low temperature of minus 9 degrees Celsius.

In addition to seeing this kind of situation on TV, it is actually difficult for us to imagine it. But what we can see is that no matter how bad the external environment is, it cannot resist the sincere heart of an ordinary child who wants to learn.

Social support has changed the environment at home

Such a child is so distressing and pitiable! Later, Wang Fuman revealed in an interview with reporters that because the road was too rough, he had fallen down many times on the road over the years in order to go to school.

After Wang Fuman became popular on the Internet for a period of time, he and his family received widespread attention from the society.

This incident also attracted great attention from the Yunnan Provincial Youth League Committee and relevant associations. Once the situation was verified, they called on all sectors of society to provide assistance to Wang Fuman’s school and family. In a short period of time, Wang Fuman's school received strong support from the society.

The school also raised enough funds. In order to provide students with a better environment, the school renovated teaching buildings and canteens, and built dormitories specifically for students. Children no longer have to get up early and rush over mountains and ridges in low temperature weather just to worry about being late.

But Wang Fuman was still young, and he did not understand the significance of this matter to his family. But what makes Wang Fuman most happy is that precisely because this incident has become more and more famous on the Internet, his parents who have been working abroad for many years have finally returned to their hometown.

Wang Fuman no longer has to envy other children who can act coquettishly in the lap of their parents. He can finally do such a simple thing.

At the same time, with the help of the society, Wang Fuman's father was introduced to a relatively stable job as an electrician, and the family's income conditions improved significantly.

Moreover, Wang Fuman’s house was also renovated with the help of kind-hearted people. From the original dilapidated adobe house to the current two-story brick house, almost all kinds of electrical appliances in the home can be considered as readily available.

Wang Fuman has had a wish since he was a child, which is to become a glorious people's policeman. This wish was learned by the People's Public Security University of China, which specially brought him and his sister to the school. They also educated and encouraged him, hoping that he could work hard enough and realize his dream.

Receiving encouragement from the school gave Wang Fuman more motivation to study. Life is getting better and better, and life is moving forward. This is not only what Wang Fuman is looking forward to, this is also what we want to see most.

He is still himself, but his family has completely changed.

If the story continues like this, with adults making progress and children working hard, then we will be very happy, but the story Slowly but deviated from the original track.

Gradually, we can find that Wang Fuman’s family life has actually begun to improve, and he no longer needs long-term assistance from society. But Wang Fuman's father is still seeking help from the society on this grounds.

According to Wang Fuman's current family living standards, according to regulations, it cannot be classified as a poor household at all. However, Wang Fuman's father seems to have taken society's help for granted, and even published an announcement on the Internet, hoping to use the power of netizens to classify his family as a poor household.

As soon as this incident came out, it immediately aroused the anger of many netizens, and many people immediately expressed their great disappointment. After all, society's help is to make our lives better and better, not to make us dependent.

This action of Wang Fuman’s father really broke the hearts of those who had helped his family, and this approach undoubtedly made us sigh.

Today, more than two years have passed, and the "ice boy" from back then has not changed much, but his family has begun to become increasingly impetuous.

Is the help from well-meaning people and social assistance a matter of course? The answer is of course no. No matter when and where, no matter what the environment is, only by gradually becoming stronger through your own efforts can you be more respected by others.

It is definitely not advisable to always rely on others.

We still have to maintain our own strength and strength, make ourselves stronger, and make the future more hopeful!
