What was the current situation of the girl with "big eyes" who touched the whole country after 26 years?

In the 1990s, the development of our country was not as developed as it is now. Many people in remote mountainous areas live in poverty, and it is difficult for people to fill their stomachs, not to mention the teaching conditions. There will also be many children who like to go to school in poor areas. Children there are more eager for knowledge than children in the city. Long-term poverty has made them more aware of the importance of learning cultural knowledge. Of course, there are also many children who are forced by life to go to the society early and miss the opportunity to study and go to school, which has become the regret of many of them.

The black and white photo above seems to give people a sense of time. This photo was taken 26 years ago. The little girl in the photo is the protagonist Su Mingjuan we are going to introduce today. From the photos, we can easily see that the living conditions in the photo shooting place are definitely not good. The little girl has rough skin, ordinary clothes and slightly dry lips. She is a typical image of rural children. However, Su Mingjuan has a pair of big round eyes, which anyone who has seen will never forget. For a time, these eyes became "big eyes" that touched the whole country. How is her life now after so many years?

At that time, Su Mingjuan was an ordinary rural girl. She is usually smart and loves learning. Although her family is already poor, she will still borrow money for her education. Of course, I don't know how long this persistence will last Until one day, several reporters came to the village to collect the wind. These reporters came to the primary school in Su Mingjuan. When they entered the classroom, Su Mingjuan looked up carelessly and was photographed by the reporter. This black-and-white photo became a classic. Su Mingjuan's eyes are full of doubt and longing, clear and bright, but on the whole, it makes people feel sad.

After this photo was released by the reporter, it caused a national sensation. This is how many people know Su Mingjuan. As if there were stars in her eyes, we saw the power of unyielding and longing. In this way, Su Mingjuan became the spokesperson of Project Hope at that time. Su Mingjuan naturally received a lot of financial aid, and she became a student of Anhui University. On the university campus, she helped some children from poor families with the money accumulated from odd jobs. After graduation, she also devoted her love to the society. Now she has become the deputy secretary of the local Youth League Committee. Although this position made her controversial, she still contributed her strength in this unpaid position.

Su Mingjuan is undoubtedly lucky. A photo gave her a chance to go to school, but Su Mingjuan is also a person with excellent quality. She received financial aid from others in those years, and now she has the ability to choose to help others. Su Mingjuan's selfless transmission of her love deserves our praise, and the spirit of not forgetting the roots is also worth learning from each of us.
