Depending on yourself
Growing up is not always easy .When we face difficulties ,a spirit of depending yourself is more useful than crying for help .That ‘s what Hong Zhanhui’s story of growing from boy to man with family hardship tells us .
Hong was born in 1982 in a poor family in Xihua county (县),henan Province .When he was only 11,his father became badly ill and one day he came back with an unwanted baby girl .A year later Hong’s mother left home . She no longer wanted to live such a poor life and face her sick hus-band .So everything hard fell on to the young boy’s shoulders :to take care of his father and the sister Chenchen ,and to go on to study .
Although his life was hard ,Hong didn’t go away from hisfather and sister .He worked in part-time jobs to feed his family .He climbed tall trees to get birds’eggs for his sister .He walked two hours at weekends to the market to buy different things to sell around his school .A few years later ,he studied at a sollege .To take care of Chenchen ,he worked hard to rent a room near his college for her ,and send her to school .
After Hong’s story went public ,he became a hero in people’s eyes .But Hong refused offers-from others .He sard he felt encouraged by kind offers ,but he could depend on his own work .
Though his hard life ,he has grown up from boy to man .
