About Yao Qifeng's persistent pursuit of ideals,

At the beginning of the lights every night, a slightly older middle-aged man laid a roll of carpet under the ribs of the roadside square, and a girl stepped on this shabby carpet, slowly stretching her limbs, bending down, splitting and spinning. Her mother stood in the distance, watching her daughter's every move, while the middle-aged man, the girl's father, played the role of a dance teacher to help her daughter complete the difficult movements. The nightlife of a family of three unfolds slowly under the dim street lights and is fixed in the photographer's lens. This picture touched countless young parents.

This girl, Yao Qifeng, was born in Chengdu, Sichuan, and just had her 10 birthday. My father's middle-aged daughter dotes on her very much, but her family's economic conditions are very poor, and her monthly income is only about 1000 yuan. However, it is gratifying that Yao Qifeng is smart, handsome and sensible. "I never compare food and clothing with my classmates, but I compare my academic performance with us."

In the first grade of primary school, Yao Qifeng knew that many students in the class were receiving professional dance training in children's dance classes. One weekend afternoon, without telling her parents and classmates, she sneaked into a children's dance class in Chengdu Art Center and lay prone outside the training room. Yao Qifeng was envious to see his peers wearing neat training clothes and dancing under the guidance of professional teachers and piano accompaniment. Since then, Yao Qifeng has tried to talk to her parents several times, but she has never said anything about the idea of spending four or five hundred yuan on tuition.

"As long as I can study in a dance class, I will practice barefoot." The daughter's "rhetoric" stung her parents' hearts like a steel needle. In order to satisfy her daughter's desire to learn dance, her parents signed up for a dance class. Yao Qifeng didn't wear decent training clothes in the dance class for a semester, and all of them were inferior. The only pair of sports shoes was worn by her classmates and thrown away. She picked them up and mended them, but she didn't want to wear them. After only one semester of training, Yao Qifeng successfully obtained the "Ballet Band 4 Certificate" that others need at least three semesters to get.

But because she didn't have the money to pay the tuition, she didn't go to the dance class after this semester. At the beginning of 20 10, my father picked up an abandoned fiber carpet in the street and laid it under the street lamp in front of Daci Temple every night, which played a certain role in protecting her daughter's acrobatics. "Street lamps are stage spotlights and pedestrians are spectators." Yao Qifeng often comforts her parents that she has adapted to this open-air training ground.

Children raised by poor parents do not complain about others, but create conditions for themselves and work hard towards their dreams. "The blade comes from sharpening, and the plum blossom fragrance comes from bitter cold." She is like a plum blossom proud of frost and snow. She is not afraid of difficulties, ambitious, and writes the movement of life struggle. High score thinking: poverty is also a kind of wealth. Where there is a dream, there is hope, and opportunities only favor those who are prepared.
