There is such a candidate in Hebei, who was diagnosed with congenital heart disease at the age of 6. His family is poor, his father is schizophrenic and his mother is paralyzed. In such a family, he never gave up, and was admitted to Tsinghua with 744 points in the college entrance examination. This man is Pang Zhongwang.
In the dark, sick.
Pang Zhongwang was born in a very different family in Cangzhou, Hebei. Because Pang Zhongwang's parents are disabled, the burden of this family's life is entirely on Pang Zhongwang's grandparents.
Pang Zhongwang's mother is Pang Qinzhi. When she was a child, she got polio, which made her unable to walk, paralyzed in bed and unable to take care of herself. Later, Pang Zhongwang's mother married Pang Xiangdong, Pang Zhongwang's father in the same village. Pang Zhongwang's father suffered from schizophrenia, so he didn't have a job.
Because one parent is schizophrenic and the other is paralyzed in bed, the family's economic source depends entirely on Pang Zhongwang's grandparents. After marrying Pang Xiangdong, Pang gave birth to a boy, Pang Zhongwang. The parents' greatest expectation for Pang Zhongwang is the safe and healthy growth, but fate has not spared the boy.
In Pang Zhongwang's 6-year-old life, it rained one day, but Pang Zhongwang's grandfather found that all the children were running, except Pang Zhongwang, whose lips were inexplicably purple and his chest was a mass. Grandpa took Pang Zhongwang to the hospital for examination and found that Pang Zhongwang had congenital heart disease. The news was a great blow to the poor family.
At that time, many people in the village advised Pang Zhongwang's parents to give up their children. In the face of huge treatment costs, Pang did not give up. She knocked on the door with Pang Zhongwang's family to borrow money. In the end, more than 20 villagers lent them more than 40 thousand yuan needed for the operation. Fortunately, Pang Zhongwang's operation was very successful.
A poor son can't live without his parents' instruction.
Soon Pang Zhongwang was old enough to go to school. Although his family was poor and owed money, Pang never gave up the idea of letting his children study. In Pang's view, the poverty of parents and families can't make them take Pang Zhongwang to see the outside world, so they must let their children study hard, learn about different worlds from books and go out on their own, so Pang and Pang Xiangdong insist on letting Pang Zhongwang study.
It is said that the children of poor families are in charge early, and young Pang Zhongwang knows what his parents expect of him. Pang Zhongwang began to do housework at an early age. Only by studying hard can he change his present fate and pay off the money owed by his family. So before going to school every day, Pang Zhongwang will personally push his mother to wash up, prepare breakfast at home, and then clean up the room before going to school.
Pang Zhongwang's father, Pang Xiangdong, suffers from schizophrenia, but for his children to go to school, he will go out to do odd jobs to make money whenever he has time. Pang Zhongwang's mother is paralyzed in bed and also does some needlework to support her family. Pang Zhongwang himself is very sensible. When he was still in elementary school, he knew that he had to help his family share their worries.
Therefore, Pang Zhongwang will pick up some bottles and cans on his way to and from school every day to save money. He will also pick up some useful things to use. Young Pang Zhongwang can only reduce the burden on his family by scavenging. Once, Pang Zhongwang cut his hand trying to pick up scrap iron from an old factory. He was injured because he was afraid of his mother's worry and didn't dare to go home until dark.
In 20 12, Pang Zhongwang's mother fell ill and fainted, so she had to be hospitalized. The task of taking care of Pang fell to Pang Zhongwang. In order to reassure his mother in the hospital, Pang Zhongwang worked in a small restaurant next to the school to earn money. In order to save money and treat his mother, Pang Zhongwang will pick up some vegetables and leaves to eat. Although Pang Zhongwang has to take care of his mother while studying, he is still not behind in his studies.
Live up to expectations and soar to the sky
Pang Zhongwang knew from an early age that he should study hard, and he didn't live up to his parents' expectations. His academic performance is very good. He will win the first place in every school exam and go home with many prizes every year. In the eyes of Pang Zhongwang's classmates, he is an out-and-out top student. Even the headmaster said that Pang Zhongwang is a learning talent.
Later, Pang Zhongwang was admitted to Wuqiao Middle School. In the eyes of the high school class teacher, Pang Zhongwang, who just reported for duty, is as thin as a pupil and as cheerful as other children. The unfortunate family did not bring negative influence to Pang Zhongwang. When he learned that Pang Zhongwang was admitted to high school, Pang Qinzhi said to him, "Good boy, you have lived up to your mother's hope. You will definitely be admitted to college."
Encouraged by his mother, Pang Zhongwang studied harder. Pang Zhongwang has been living in high school. He takes 20 yuan money from his mother every week, but he saves some every week. During high school, the school exempted Pang Zhongwang from tuition fees and subsidized him 100 yuan every month. When many well-intentioned people offered to fund Pang Zhongwang's study, Pang Zhongwang refused.
Pang Zhongwang hopes to earn tuition through his own efforts and help his family reduce the burden. Therefore, as long as he has a holiday, he will look for a job as a tutor. He also said that after he went to college, he would also work and study to support himself and not add burden to his family. During preparing for the college entrance examination, Pang Zhongwang often stays up late to study and only sleeps for a few hours every day.
Pang Zhongwang also participated in Tsinghua University's "Self-improvement Plan" after the college entrance examination. Hard work will always pay off. Pang Zhongwang scored 684 points in the college entrance examination and won the top prize in science in Cangzhou. Plus 60 points in Tsinghua University rural bonus, Pang Zhongwang was finally admitted to Tsinghua with 744 points. Pang Zhongwang's fate failed to live up to the expectations of his parents, family and villagers. He helped his family with his own efforts.
After going to college, Pang Zhongwang actively participated in various public welfare activities, and also used his own experience to encourage his younger brothers and sisters not to give up any hope, to fight the hardships to the end and change their destiny. Whether Pang Zhongwang's parents didn't give up their children or Pang Zhongwang didn't give up studying because of the unfair fate, it is worth learning.
Pang Zhongwang knows that only by not giving up and having hope for life can we change our destiny. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, you can't give up, even in the dark, you should pursue the light. We should learn from Pang Zhongwang, his spirit of struggle and his optimism in the face of difficulties.
