Where is the girl who received our donation as a child?

I hope Su Mingjuan, a girl with big eyes, will become a white-collar bank worker.

1983, Su Mingjuan was born in zhang wan Village, Lingtao Township, Jinzhai County, Anhui Province. His father Su Liangyou and his mother Zhong make a living by fishing, raising silkworms, raising pigs, farming and growing chestnuts. This family leads a hard and simple rural life. ?

1991may, 7-year-old Su Mingjuan was a first-grade student in zhang wan primary school. Jie Hailong, a photojournalist of China Youth Daily, went to Jinzhai County to interview and shoot Project Hope, and went to more than a dozen villages. Finally, he came to zhang wan Primary School in Dabie Mountain and found Su Mingjuan in his class. A pair of "big eyes" that can especially represent the children in poor mountainous areas who are eager to learn took his shot. This picture shows a little girl with a pencil point in her hand and two big eyes looking straight ahead, full of longing. After its publication, it was quickly reprinted by major domestic newspapers and became the propaganda symbol of Project Hope in China, and Su Mingjuan also became the image representative of Project Hope.

"I want to study" has changed the fate of millions of poor children.

? On June 5438+065438+ 10, 2008, the reporter saw and learned about Hailong in Cui Lin Hotel at the foot of Longji Mountain on the south bank. This northern man is not as big as he thought, but he is definitely a veritable "big name" in the national photography industry.

"It took me a whole year to take that photo." Jie Hailong said that when he was young, like many photographers, he also liked to take photos reflecting the living conditions of citizens, but he had no specific direction about what to take. Until I went to Laiyuan County, Hebei Province and took a photo, I saw a slogan on the wall, "No matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education, and you can't be bitter in children."

The next day, Jie Hailong decided to film the problem of rural children dropping out of school and the life and study of children in poverty-stricken areas, so as to let the world know their situation and lend them a helping hand.

Instantly capture "big eyes"

At that time, Jie Hailong was a propaganda cadre of a cultural center in Beijing. When he returned to Beijing, he immediately proposed to the curator an aid model that he hoped the project would use in the future: taking pictures of rural children and taking them back to let the city people help them.

Yes 1987. I hope the project will be established in 1989.

"So it is not accidental to find and photograph Su Mingjuan, a girl with big eyes, but inevitable." Jie Hailong said that in 199 1 year, he came to zhang wan Village, Lingtao Township, Jinzhai County, Anhui Province, and Jie Hailong came to school with a group of children.

Jie Hailong's eyes are looking for the moment of moving. He saw Su Mingjuan, who was writing something with his head down. At this moment, it happened that Su Mingjuan looked up and firmly grasped the heart of understanding Hailong. He found that the child's eyes were particularly big and had an appeal that was deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Jie Hailong quickly put on the zoom lens and held the camera firmly. When the girl looked up again with a pencil in her hand, Jie Hailong decisively pressed the shutter. Only two negatives were taken before and after, one horizontal and one vertical, and that vertical picture became a classic.

300,000 yuan was donated to Project Hope.

During the interview, Jie Hailong handed the reporter a business card with a photo of "big eyes" Su Mingjuan on the back.

Jie Hailong said that this photo, without any words, can read a strong "desire" from "big eyes". After this photo was selected as the publicity logo of Project Hope by China Youth Development Foundation, Su Mingjuan also became the image ambassador of Project Hope. This photo was adopted by newspapers all over the country and printed as a poster. , and became the most famous photo in China.

Su Mingjuan's fate changed, and at the same time, photographer Jie Hailong became famous overnight. Since then, the whole country has started to donate money for out-of-school children, and many donors are pursuing the image of "big eyes". ?

By the end of 2007, Project Hope had received nearly 4 billion yuan of donations from home and abroad, aided 3.9 million poor students and built more than 3,000 Hope Primary Schools/KLOC-0.

"With this effect, there will be no regrets in this life." Jie Hailong said that although he was famous, he only got a small fee for filming the documentary photography of Project Hope in 10. The first payment is 1 June 9941,and 1350 yuan. After he took out the money, he also took out his own salary and collected 1500 yuan to donate it to Project Hope to help five out-of-school children.

The year before last, Jie Hailong's "Big Eyes" photos were auctioned for more than 300,000 yuan, all of which were donated to Project Hope.

Let Su Mingjuan work in a bank.

Jie Hailong has changed a lot of mobile phones since he got one, but there is no phone number of "Big Eyes" Su Mingjuan in the phone, because he can remember it.

In 2005, Su Mingjuan graduated from Anhui University Vocational and Technical College majoring in finance. At that time, she was puzzled: "big eyes" made her, and hope project made her. Should she go to Project Hope to appeal to more children after graduation?

Jie Hailong helped her make this decision: Gratitude doesn't necessarily take doing good as a job. He worked in a cultural center and later as a reporter in China Youth Daily. Didn't he do so many good things?

At the suggestion of Jie Hailong, Su Mingjuan entered the Anhui Branch of China Industrial and Commercial Bank. But for a long time, she has been paying attention to Project Hope, and she is also promoting it everywhere. "There is no shadow of rural children, which is no different from urban white-collar workers, but her favorite activity in her spare time is public welfare activities." Our reporter Ren Mingyong

This photo named "I want to read" has promoted the development of Project Hope and changed the fate of millions of children from poor families. And the author of the photo, Jie Hailong, became famous.
