The humbleness of the poor
A photographer lived in a low-rent house for five years in order to record the life of the people at the bottom.
He said that people living there were depressed.
In a room, there is usually a bed, a table and a closet.
1 m crib has occupied nearly half of the space, but people can't even stretch their legs straight.
The poor eat in bed and hang clothes in the room. The air is cloudy and the walls are covered with mold.
The narrow public bathroom can't even accommodate an adult man.
Some of them are preparatory students who have left their homes and read books in dark rooms from morning till night.
Some of them are sick patients, using instruments to prolong their lives, and their confused eyes are lifeless.
There are still some old people who have no support and can only spend the rest of their lives here.
When you see them, you will feel that life is really too bitter.
But who wants to live like this if they have a choice?
Behind the bustling and noisy city, in the dark corner that we can't see, there are many lives that have been forgotten like dirt.
Some people are born lucky and spend money like water. There are also people who struggle to survive and carry heavy burdens.
A few days ago, a 48-year-old man from Henan returned to Jiaozuo for treatment after working outside and getting sick.
He suffers from coronary heart disease. During the preoperative examination, the doctor told him that the treatment would cost about 654.38 million yuan.
Hearing this, the man was silent, forgave his wife, quietly left the hospital and never came back.
His son in senior three is anxious. He has been monitoring, distributing leaflets, looking for TV stations and broadcasting, just to find his father.
However, a few days later, my father found it, but he died.
Sure enough, there is only one disease in the world, and that is poverty.
The most uncomfortable thing about this is that coronary heart disease is not a terminal disease, and 48 years old is also a prime of life.
65438+100,000 yuan, for a rich second generation, it may be just a high-class food, and the bar is chic all night.
However, 654.38 million yuan is too much for a poor family.
In order not to drag down his family, he chose to run away from home and face death alone.
It's too uncomfortable.
Some time ago, my circle of friends was screened by a girl. That is a 24-year-old female college student in Guizhou who weighs only 43 Jin.
Can you imagine? The weight of an adult is only 2 1.5 kg? My parents died one after another, my brother suffered from intermittent mental illness, and there was no source of income at home.
She and her brother can only drag out an ignoble existence on the monthly subsistence allowance in 300 yuan.
In the most difficult time, she only eats one steamed bun a day.
In order to treat her brother, she mixed rice with bad peppers and ate them for five years.
Can you say she doesn't work hard?
She applied for a student loan in order to go to college. In order to solve the living expenses, she dragged her thin body and took two part-time jobs.
Finally, long-term severe malnutrition and overwork made her ill.
The doctor said that her heart valve damage has reached a serious level.
Too many people can't understand why some people will give up their lives for 65438+ 10,000 yuan;
Why do some people eat bad pepper mixed with rice every meal? Is the meat not delicious?
However, behind these incomprehensible things is the real world.
On February 3, 65438, the 48-year-old takeaway brother died suddenly in a rented house in Nanjing.
The take-away electric car outside the house is still charging, and the rice cooker inside the house is still hot with rice and bacon.
There are two pots of leftovers on the table: boiled vegetables and scrambled eggs with garlic, and the takeaway brother is still wearing overalls.
/kloc-0 0 years ago, he divorced his wife, and his 22-year-old son didn't like talking to him very much.
He owed more than 200,000 foreign debts at the beginning of his business, and it took 10 years to pay it off.
Because he is in debt, he has to work hard, and the money he earns is for his children to go to school besides paying off debts.
Delivery doesn't make much money. In his mobile phone, sometimes there are several compensations a month.
In his rental house, there is not even a TV, and there are only 20 WeChat friends.
In the corner we can't see, how many people, like him, have been defeated by life, surrounded by loneliness and spent their lives unattended?
I once saw a migrant worker squatting in the street in the middle of the night, crying.
Someone asked him what had happened, and he wiped his tears and said:
Father suffered from cancer, and after four times of chemotherapy, he still didn't get better.
He was too sad to show it in front of his family, so he had to squat outside and cry.
Poverty almost crushed the unfortunate family, but he could only grit his teeth and stick to it.
In Tik Tok, there is a "one-legged porter" born in the 1990s.
His right leg was amputated when he was a child, leaving only a short piece.
His parents are in poor health, so he can only support the whole family with his broken body.
Transport dozens of pounds of cement and move a car full of bricks.
At the end of this day, you can earn about 60 yuan, which adds up to more than 2,000 yuan a month.
There are too many people in this world.
You don't know what a person has experienced, and what a stormy life is behind every smiling face that pretends to be strong.
How low can poverty make a person?
Some people say that when I am carefree, poverty is only the difference between eating steamed bread and steak at night, and it does not harm my happiness.
But when I fell in love with a girl, I deeply felt the inferiority caused by poverty.
The pillow is full of moldy dreams, and the dreams are full of people who can't get it.
Writer Tong Hua said: "Perhaps it is because there are days, nights, winters and springs in this world.
So light is always intertwined with darkness, and cold is always accompanied by warmth. "
I always believe that even in the poorest times, there will always be unexpected warmth and many small blessings.
Just like this bearded tramp, holding a bottle of iced black tea in his hand, looking at the fireworks in the night sky, he smiled.
A cup of tea and fireworks, one person and one world, cold winter night, at least at that moment, he was happy.
Just like this sanitation uncle, he holds a handful of ginkgo leaves in his arms and throws his brain into the sky.
Like a child, he whirled around among the fallen leaves.
He said: "The work is very hard. Play when you should play! "
Laugh for a day, cry for a day, worry for a day, that's all.
Just like this bouncing construction worker, his mouth is raised and he expresses his happiness with the radian of his body.
Buy some marinade and go home for a drink after work, and maybe all the troubles of the day will disappear.
Life is hard, but at least at this moment, I can still hum a ditty, dance and enjoy myself.
Just like this bus driver, he met a little girl and got on the wrong bus because she was in a hurry to go to school.
When the little girl was about to cry, the driver said she wouldn't be late. She arrived half an hour early.
A week later, the little girl got on his car again, stuffed him with an egg roll and said to him:
"You are the first friend I made."
The driver master who received the gift said that he was very happy.
This is the image of all beings in this city.
The world may be cruel, but it will show you tenderness when you least expect it.
There is a line in Ma Boyong's novel The Longest Day in Chang 'an, which I like very much.
Zhang Xiaojing, the hero, will defend Chang 'an to the death.
Others asked him: What are you doing all this for?
He said: Did you climb to the top of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda before and after Grain Rain?
There is a little novice monk watching the tower. You can sneak up to the top of the tower and see all the peonies in Chang 'an, just give him half the money.
Little novice monk never misuses his savings. He always secretly buys river fish to feed the kittens near Jionji.
In Shengdaofang, there is an old man who specializes in making Biro cakes. The sesame seeds he chose were very big, so the cake just baked was particularly delicious.
I used to be a policeman. I would go there early in the morning and buy some as soon as I opened the door.
There is also the carved Hu rice of Fusangzi, which can only be eaten on the first and fifteenth day of the first month. The monk secretly added meat oil, which was really delicious.
Arroyo in Dongshi is a good camel trainer. His lifelong dream is to set up a career in Anyifang, marry and have children, and take root in Chang 'an.
There lived a worker named Xue in Changxing Square, a native of Luling. Every sunny and cloudless night in Wan Li, he would go to Tianjin Bridge to play the flute just to wash it with moonlight. I covered for him several times for violating the night ban.
There is also a dancer who lives in Chongren Square. Her name is Li Shier. She is ambitious and wants to be on an equal footing with Gong Sundaniang. She wore out her high heels in dancing and had to wrap them in red silk.
Oh, by the way, when the river lanterns are set off on Kogasawara Festival, the river is full of candlelight. If you walk along the Longshou Canal, you will see a blind old woman selling a folded paper boat by the canal, saying that she is saving a pair of copper hairpin for her granddaughter, but I know that her granddaughter has long died of illness.
I was a lousy coach in Chang 'an for nine years. Dealing with such people every day, hearing and seeing such a life every day.
For dignitaries, these people are insignificant at all, and these things are even more common.
But for me, this is Chang 'an, alive, not swallowed by monsters. When I am around them, I feel full of energy.
I will try my best to live a accustomed life for these insignificant people. I want to protect Chang 'an-can you understand me?
Bright, drunk and enviable, just a few.
But even if we are ordinary, we are qualified to love and embrace every moment of our lives with our hearts.
May we long for the light and encourage each other even in the dark.
Please give me a compliment after reading it. Thank you.
