Moss flowers are as small as rice and open like peony. As long as you have a love for life, the grass will also bloom the beauty of life; As long as it is a fiery chest, it holds a burning heart.

There is such a poor man who can't live without the word "poor" since he was a child. In rural areas, facing the loess and facing the sky; I went to town, stepped on a tricycle, and worked as a porter, a sheet metal worker, a water and electricity repairman and a pump worker. This "almost all hard-working" social underclass, who also needs social assistance, has extended a pair of old tree-like hands to poor students, holding up one dream after another. Xinhua News Agency once broadcast a talent show to promote his deeds, and he himself won the China candidate in 2007.

May 1st Labor Medal, Top Ten Civilized Workers in Jiangsu Province and other honorary titles. In 2008, he won the nomination award of the first moral model in Jiangsu Province. He is Yan Zhanhong, a migrant worker in Jiangdu.

Yan Zhanhong, born in 1963, is nothing like a man in his forties. He is not tall, with a gray beard, a bronze face with knife-like wrinkles, and his bald head is surrounded by messy hair, just like an old man. It is stained to wear camouflage clothes all the year round, and a pair of cheap leather shoes on your feet have been opened. His hands, which can never be washed clean, are covered with thick calluses and mixed with cracks. The back of his hand is like a crack in a dry river bed, and his fingers are thick and short, which have long been worn out by life. ...

Yan Zhanhong has done three jobs with these hands: Jiangdu Credit Cooperative works as a temporary worker for water and electricity pipeline maintenance, earning 600 yuan every month; Watch the door at night, 200 yuan every month; Send gas tanks to residents, and charge 2 yuan for each bottle, even if you climb the sixth floor. Lao Yan's time is arranged as follows: 6-8 am, riding a tricycle to collect empty gas tanks; 8:30-5:30 pm, repair water and electricity pipelines; Inflate at the gas station at noon; From 5: 30 pm to 9: 00 pm, send gas tanks door to door; Go to the securities company to watch the door after 9 o'clock.

But it is these rough hands that hold up the ideals of many poor students; It is these rough hands that have changed the lives of many poor rural children. Yan Zhanhong, a migrant worker with a monthly income of only 1000 yuan, has a father and a poor brother in his hometown. His wife is in poor health, and his daughter has to study. Although food and clothing have not been solved, he can squeeze out more than 30,000 yuan to support 18 poor children to go to school in eight years.

1992, Lao Yan went to town from the countryside of Zhou Xi, the capital of Jiangdu, and lived in a small room of 8 square meters. The couple are not afraid of hardship, and they are afraid that their daughter will not go to school. My daughter is old enough to go to school, but her registered permanent residence is not in the city. 1000 yuan loan fee makes the couple worry. No friends in the city, poor relatives in the countryside. Patchwork is short of 500 yuan. This 500 yuan is like a mountain in front of them, and they can't cross it. In their eyes, the autumn sun is a cold wry smile, and the wind of despair is blowing from the golden Yuan Ye. Yan Zhanhong, who was crying at the school gate, was very excited when the school accepted her daughter as an exception. At that time, she made a wish in her heart: when she is rich, she must help those children in need so that they can study smoothly.

But the couple can barely make ends meet by working hard. When will they have money? On June 5438+ 10, 2002, inspired by the TV public service advertisement of donating a penny to buy a bottle of mineral water, Yan Zhanhong stopped waiting for "money" and adopted the method of "saving 50 cents on a can of gasoline, carrying 10 cans a day, squeezing out 150 yuan in January and helping several children a year". With this calculation, Lao Yan was too excited to sit still any longer. After that, he didn't even wipe the sweat when he sent the gas bottle home every day. He was so anxious that he threw the sweaty coins into the piggy bank one by one, shook the piggy bank with both hands, and listened to the crisp "thump" sound, and his heart was even more happy.

One day in February 2002, Zhang Yu, a poor fifth-grade pupil in Zhou Xi, was called into the office by the head teacher with a puzzled face. The head teacher told her: you don't have to worry about tuition in the future. Good-hearted people will subsidize you 30 yuan a month to buy school supplies. Give me the passbook and the password. Subsequently, Liu He of the primary school received the same notice from the class teacher.

In 2002, Yan Zhanhong sponsored three children, increased 1 in 2004 and 4/in 2005 ... Lao Yan also had a thickened "encouragement system" for those who were admitted to key high schools and universities. During this period, my daughter was admitted to the university, and the cost soared. Lao Yan, who worked three jobs, gave up smoking and worked hard from morning till night. Sometimes she only sleeps four hours a day, and she is very old.

The hardships of life camel Yan Zhanhong's back pressure, but the ideal tree in his heart is straight and lush. It can let the difficult children continue their studies. Even with a gas tank on his shoulder, his heart is full of sunshine. In Yan Zhanhong's pocket, there are letters and transcripts from aided children, which is the source of motivation for his work. "Children are very sensible and know how to cherish the concern of society." Wenjing, a classmate of Wu Jian Primary School, said in the letter: I thought Uncle Yan was a big boss, but later I learned that money was hard to come by. For my tuition for one year, you have to carry thousands of gas tanks and climb tens of thousands of steps, and every penny is soaked with sweat. Uncle, when I grow up, I want to be a caring person like you. Liu Tongxue, who was admitted to the university, took the initiative to write to Lao Yan, saying that her family conditions had improved and asked to end her financial aid.

Yan Zhanhong refused to show up for fear that her children would have a psychological burden. She sent money in the name of "inflatable man" Yan Zhanhong and his children have a tacit understanding: no meeting, no walking, no contact between family members, only correspondence. It was not until March 2006 1 that Lao Cai Yan met the children for the first time under the "soft grinding and hard entanglement" of relevant parties. The surprised children can't connect this dark and old "grandfather" with the imaginary "uncle". When I learned that Yan Zhanhong helped them get money by sending liquefied gas at 55 cents, I cried on the spot.

Yan Zhanhong's righteous act spread like wildfire and entered the credit union and society where he worked. The leaders of the credit cooperatives were very moved, and took the initiative to help Lao Yan set up the "Zhanhong Love Account" and arranged for accountants to regularly maintain and manage Lao Yan's "Love Fund". Eight employees of the credit union agreed to deposit the odd sum into the "Love Fund" every time they were paid. In order to attract more people to join the aid team, the daughter also opened the "Zhanhong Aid Network" for her father. Today, more than 20 people in Jiangdu have joined the ranks of financial aid, including self-employed bosses, laid-off workers, employees and teachers. When an overseas Chinese in Jiangdu heard about this incident, he left 150 dollars anonymously. An overseas Chinese from Yangzhou brings $50 to "Zhanhong Love Fund" in every letter at home. The funded student group snowballed, reaching more than 50 people at present. It is Yan Zhanhong's wish to let every difficult student walk into the school and sit at his desk with peace of mind. Dial Lao Yan's PHS, and an expectant bell flies into my ear: "Zhanhong Inflatable Student Fund, welcome to use Zhanhong Drum; Bottles care about poor students, and pots and pans love truth. "
