Anhui photographer's salary

It is said that "the eyes are the windows to the soul", from which one can see one's heart. Sometimes, one look is enough to change a person's life, such as those "big eyes" that have touched countless people. From those eyes, people can clearly see what the little girl is longing for. What she longs for is to go to school, which is an opportunity for education.

It is said that reading can change fate. It has been 29 years since the publication of Hope with Big Eyes, and the life of Su Mingjuan, a girl with big eyes, has been successfully countered. From its experience, people can deeply understand what love is passed down from generation to generation.

A photo changed fate.

It was Xie Hailong who lit the fire for poor students. As a photographer, he won the China Golden Horse Award for Art and the Lifetime Photography Achievement Award. Xie Hailong is very caring. On 1990, he began to think about the basic education in poor areas of China. At this time, millions of children in remote areas drop out of school every year because of poverty. These children drop out of school early to support their families, or get married and have children too early, or spend time in factories, and never enjoy the beauty of the world.

In the spirit of humanitarianism, Xie Hailong hopes to help these children fight for the right to education through her own photos. He traveled all over 26 provinces in China in ten years and took tens of thousands of documentary photos. These photos have promoted the development of Project Hope and even promoted social progress. One of the most famous and influential is Hope with Big Eyes.

The girl with big eyes is named Su Mingjuan. She was born in an ordinary peasant family in Jinzhai County, Anhui Province. The general situation here is general poverty. Jinzhai county is mountainous and sparsely populated, and the annual harvest is only enough for a family to eat for one season. In this way, the Kim family can only do everything diligently: chopping wood, catching fish, raising silkworms, raising pigs, farming land, and planting chestnuts ... In this way, they can barely make a living. At that time, I was in Su Mingjuan for one semester 100 yuan. In order to raise tuition, Sue's family has no difficulty.

But Sue's family is lucky. 199 1 year, Su Mingjuan studied in the first grade of zhang wan primary school. If Xie Hailong had been a few years late, maybe she would have dropped out of school. But Xie Hailong came with his camera to record the dropouts here.

When taking photos of Su Mingjuan, she looked directly at the camera with a pencil in her hand, and her eyes were full of yearning for the school. But her big curious eyes seem to have magic power and can look directly into the hearts of people who see this photo. This photo is very impactful. After it was published, it was reprinted by major media, and more and more people began to pay attention to the phenomenon of out-of-school children.

Su Mingjuan has also entered the public eye. She was supported by Project Hope, and many good people gave generously to her, such as Haidong Xie, Li Wan, a pair of retired people and nine college students who donated money for her. This photo enabled her to successfully enter the Department of Financial Management of Anhui University, giving her the opportunity to receive higher education. After graduation, she became a member of the banking system.

Grateful heart, thank you

Su Mingjuan, a girl with big eyes, is not an ungrateful baiwenhang. She has won many honors for this picture-/kloc-at the age of 0/4, she became the smallest representative in the Great Hall of the People, was elected as an alternate member of the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League, and became the volunteer recruitment ambassador for the 2008 Anhui Olympic Games. Later, she served in the Communist Youth League. However, she really has a "grateful heart". With the help of society, she changed her destiny, drew strength from society, and realized her luck, and has been trying to give back to society.

Only when people are deeply aware of how lucky they are can they not take others' help for granted. Su Mingjuan is very grateful. One summer vacation, she and several classmates went to another village in this county to teach. The children's classrooms are all ventilated, and some children can't even afford a pot at home. She saw the thirsty eyes of those children, as if she had seen herself. She felt that if she did more, she might save the lives of some desperate children.

In fact, Su Mingjuan has done well enough. When she was in junior high school, she was still accepting donations, so she could give some of the donations to students in poorer places. When Su Mingjuan went to college, tuition was paid by the state. Having been subsidized for many years, she didn't get into the habit of "asking for money", so she stopped accepting subsidies and gave them to poorer college students. Not only that, Su Mingjuan also relies on work-study programs to solve the living expenses. He has worked in the sales center, practiced many times and is not lazy.

After working in 2005, Su Mingjuan got a job in Anhui Industrial and Commercial Bank, but he didn't smell the bad smell of copper. She donated her first salary to Project Hope./kloc-She has never stopped doing good deeds for five years. Today, she is married to a high school alumnus, and her life is happy and her career is stable, which is also a success in the secular sense. The original recipients have become helpers, and the exchange of roles makes the chain of love never stop, and the transmission of love never stops.

What can a photo do?

And all this, at first, was just because of a photo. In this photo, the girl with big eyes' desire for learning directly hits people's hearts, making more and more people realize that as long as they give some love one after another, they will ignite the fire of hope for more and more children.

Don't say this photo is worthless. In 2006, Hope with Big Eyes participated in the auction and sold for 308,000 RMB. This money has added another Hope Primary School in Tibet, where a steady stream of children will receive education. This photo was later compiled into Chinese textbooks for primary schools and art textbooks for high schools, which made love education take root in the hearts of children in China since childhood, and was constantly strengthened.

By September last year, Project Hope had received more than 654.38+0.5 billion yuan in donations, so that 6 million poor children would not drop out of school. And such a huge number, such amazing achievements, is the love that everyone gathered bit by bit, and the donation of one yuan and ten cents accumulated.

It must be admitted that the popularity of Project Hope today is due to the girl with "big eyes". 1989 10 was introduced, and 199 1 gave the hope of big eyes. As soon as the photo came out, it aroused widespread concern, and the number of people who donated money to Project Hope exploded instantly. That photo is the fire of love. After all the people relay to collect firewood, they finally light the fire of starting a prairie fire and spread the warmth of love to everyone.

In a word, 29 years later, Su Mingjuan, a girl with big eyes, got an opportunity to receive education, learned enough educational knowledge and got a good job with the help of everyone's love, which realized the counterattack of life and embodied the gift of love. She is always grateful, does not take others' help for granted, and tries her best to convey her love, which is the return of love.

In the whole process, no one really lost anything, but loved more and more. That song is very good. As long as everyone gives a little love, the world will become a beautiful world. Encourage each other!
