What is the current situation of Su Mingjuan, whose destiny was changed by the "Hope Project" 29 years ago?

My friend's sister has been unable to find a suitable job after graduating from college. In addition to the fact that her academic qualifications are not a bachelor's degree, it also has a lot to do with her "high vision but low hand".

In the early years, my parents, brother and sister, were able to go to school and worked hard for many years.

My friend was very ambitious and got into a key high school with one of the top ten scores in the county. Since then, he has been among the best in academic performance. After graduating from college, he also worked in a very good company.

On the other hand, his sister did not have the same thirst for knowledge as his brother. She chased stars in high school and compared herself with others in college.

Children from poor families will become masters early, and children from poor families will have a bright future...

These words may have been agreed by countless people more than 20 years ago, but now they are not Scorned by many.

Do you still remember the "big-eyed girl" who became a household name 29 years ago?

She is the symbol of "Project Hope". The little girl in the photo has short ear-length hair and simple clothes. She holds a pencil tip in her hand and her eyes are bright and full of curiosity, looking straight ahead. Straight to the heart, the silent image conveys her desire to learn.

In 1989, the "Hope Project" public welfare project was launched by the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League and the China Youth Development Foundation with the purpose of helping out-of-school children in poor areas.

Before photographer Xie Hailong took this photo, Project Hope had not received much fundraising.

In 1991, 7-year-old Su Mingjuan was in the classroom, and her big eyes eager for knowledge were captured by Xie Hailong. This photo was named "I Want to Study" by the author Xie Hailong.

After this photo was published, it was reprinted and published by many major media. The protagonist of this photo, Su Mingjuan, completely changed her destiny.

Su Mingjuan was born in 1983 and grew up in Jinzhai County, Anhui Province.

More mountains and less land is the biggest reason for the poverty of the people in Jinzhai County, and Su Mingjuan’s annual land harvest is only enough to feed the family for three months. Most of the time, her father Su Liangyou can only rely on getting up early every day and working late at night. Su Mingjuan's tuition of more than 100 yuan per semester has become the biggest burden on her family.

My parents scraped together things and borrowed money from people everywhere to barely make up the tuition. Su Mingjuan also cherishes this opportunity very much and studies very hard in school. She told herself that she must go to college so that her parents could live a good life and not be as hard as they are now.

The school Su Mingjuan attended at the time

After Su Mingjuan became popular at the time, she often participated in various activities of the "Hope Project", but she did not forget her original intention and was still learning. Work hard on the road.

At the age of 14, she was invited to attend the 14th Congress of the Communist Youth League of China. She was the youngest in the Great Hall of the People. At that meeting, she was also elected as an alternate member of the League Central Committee.

At that time, there were a lot of donations to Su Mingjuan from all walks of life, but their family only received a small part of the funding, and most of it was returned by Su Mingjuan's father.

Su Mingjuan’s father said:

“The funding we have received is enough, and we should leave the donations to other people in need.”

Such a simple and kind-hearted quality can’t help but move people.

Su Mingjuan studied harder after receiving the financial aid. She never forgets her original intention to study hard and get rid of poverty, not to mention the support given to her by the country and society.

Under the attention of Project Hope and all walks of life, she grew up healthily, successfully completed her studies, and was admitted to the Department of Financial Management of Anhui University with excellent results.

During college, the most touching experience for her was when she was the director of the Student Union Organization Department and organized several classmates to do voluntary teaching work in another impoverished village in Jinzhai County.

According to Su Mingjuan:

“The conditions for children to go to class are very poor, similar to when I was in primary school. There is ventilation on all sides and only a broken roof. The children’s families are also very poor. "Poverty."

One of the children didn't even have a pot at home, and the mother and daughter lived under a grass shed every day. Before leaving, Su Mingjuan and several classmates collected 1,000 yuan as a solution. This family's urgent need was met.

These situations left a deep impression on Su Mingjuan. She feels that she is what she is today because of the donations from the country and society. Now that she is "promoting", she must pass on this love. , so that more people can be helped.

Give me peaches and give me Qiongyao in return.

When Su Mingjuan entered university, she never forgot what her father said to her: "Girl, you must know how to repay kindness!"

While in school, she gave the school to All her living allowance was donated to Project Hope. In order to help more people, she insisted on working and studying. Not only did she work as a salesperson, she also worked as an intern in the human resources and finance departments of Motorola headquarters in Beijing.

In 2006, after graduating from university, Su Mingjuan worked in a bank. Live the life of an ordinary office worker. Due to her enthusiasm for public welfare and positive image, Su Mingjuan was elected as deputy secretary of the Anhui Provincial Committee of the *** Youth League in 2017.

She has never forgotten the help given to her by the "Hope Project" and society. She uses the new platform of the *** Youth League to influence more young people to participate in public welfare undertakings.

When Su Mingjuan, who was only 34 years old, was elected as deputy secretary of the Youth League Provincial Committee, many people doubted that she was a "deputy department-level cadre" at such a young age. However, a special topic later refuted the rumors. She was only part-time. This position did not have an administrative level and did not receive compensation. It was just more convenient for her to help poor students and do public welfare undertakings.

Today, the little girl in the photo is now the mother of two children, but she has not given up helping others, and has always been enthusiastic about the Hope Project.

Su Mingjuan once said:

"Studying is not easy. Everyone cherishes all opportunities to go to school." "Without this photo, there would be no Hope Project , I might live a completely different life than I do now. Without Project Hope, I would not have the opportunity to read so many books, let alone the job I have now."

There is no doubt that Su Mingjuan is. Fortunately, knowledge changes destiny, and hard work makes life possible. On the other hand, the "Shayu Brother" and "Xiao Ma Yun" on the Internet have embarked on different paths in life.

Apart from the many reasons, whether children from poor families can become talented depends on the family, and more importantly, on the individual. Complaining about the unfairness of fate will not change anything.

Mr. Yang Jiang said: "Only by taking the path of your choice, not the easy path, can you have your true self." Although it is difficult to have a son from a poor family, the education conditions for poor children are not as good as those of the rich. Much. But there is still no shortage of Shan Xiaolong who was admitted to Tsinghua University with a score of 676.

In the college entrance examination that year, he was the first to walk out of the examination room. Moreover, after he walked out of the examination room, he went directly to work on the construction site, just to earn money for college, because he knew that because of knowledge, he changed his destiny.

I told that friend that no matter how much or how little his parents disciplined his sister, her sister had no determination from the beginning, let alone her own original intention. In today's society, there is a lot of information, and you are more likely to be tempted. As long as you keep your original intention and are determined to change this society, your life will be a positive one, riding the wind and waves.
