Reflections after watching the 2011 Touching Chinese Figures Award Ceremony

Xinyi Brothers - Sun Shuilin and Sun Donglin

- Thoughts after watching "Top Ten People Who Moved China"

Since the program "Moving China" was launched, I have watched it every year They all insisted on watching. Not because I like it, but because I can't resist. The program "Moving China" gave me a shock that no program so far has been able to achieve. Every time I watch "Moving China", I am moved together in an instant, forming an infinite force that strongly shocks my soul and impacts every nerve in me until I am moved to tears. This year is no exception. What moved me the most was the life and death relay of brothers Sun Shuilin and Sun Donglin to pay off old debts.

February 9, 2010, the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month. Sun Shuilin, who was working as a construction engineer in Beijing, returned to Tianjin. He originally planned to spend a day with his family and his younger brother Sun Donglin who were living in Tianjin before returning to Wuhan. However, he checked the weather forecast and learned that in the next few days, parts of the highway from Tianjin to Wuhan would be blocked. Areas may be closed due to rain or snow. He decided to rush back to Wuhan before the road was closed and pay wages to the migrant workers who had returned to Han early. Paying wages before the Spring Festival is his promise to migrant workers.

That night, Sun Shuilin withdrew 260,000 yuan in cash and set off with his wife and three children. In the early morning of the next day, when he was driving to the Longhai Railway bridge section in Kaifeng County on the Nanlan Expressway, a major car accident occurred due to icy road conditions. More than 20 vehicles rear-ended each other in a series, killing all five members of Sun Shuilin's family. In order to fulfill his brother's last wish, his younger brother Sun Donglin sent his wages to migrant workers on the day before New Year's Eve without having time to comfort his elderly parents. Because after his brother passed away, there were no more bills, so Sun Donglin asked the migrant workers to collect their wages according to their conscience, and they would pay as much as they said. Since he didn't have enough money, Sun Donglin put in 66,000 yuan from himself and 10,000 yuan from his mother. In this way, before the New Year, more than 60 migrant workers received their wages as expected, and Sun Donglin was relieved.

"You will not owe debts to the old year in the new year, and you will not owe debts to the next life in this life." Brothers Sun Shuilin and Sun Donglin have stuck to their promise for 20 years and are praised as "faithful brothers". Words of loyalty and deeds of sincerity, the ancient creeds that have been passed down from generation to generation, are interpreted into modern legends. They make promises for dignity and run for their consciences, creating a tragic relay on the earth. The good brother on the snowy night was left alone. The snow fell silently, but the love and affection hit the ground with a sonorous force. This is the best interpretation of the promise.
