Divorce of parents creates strong and understanding Qiang Mountain children
Cicada Xi was born into a farmer's family in Edge Qiang District, the oldest of them all. Although the family was economically disadvantaged, it was happy until the age of six. In first grade, his parents began to fight. In third grade, a divorce decree awarded him to his mother. Immediately, his mother remarried to a stranger, and Cicada started a new life. By "new life," I mean a life of neglect, ridicule, and bullying. His father and little brother visited him twice and brought him the best and most expensive food Cicada had ever eaten in those years. But he didn't know why he was expressionless when they came and when they left (remembering it years after the fact, he couldn't control his tears). With tears in his eyes, Cicada West secretly vowed that in this life he would be self-reliant, and that he would be respected and recognized by others through his own efforts! A year and a half later his mother divorced again, and the bleakest days of Cicada West's life finally came to an end, leaving him with an inestimable and valuable spiritual treasure.
Three years in junior high school allowed Cicada to learn to be independent: his parents were always away at work, and he had to study and take care of his little brother at the same time. Three days before the start of the school year, his parents finally managed to scrape together enough money to pay for his first year's tuition of 6,000 yuan, half of which was borrowed from others. Sophomore year to apply for a student loan 1 year, barely survived. The third year of college to take a break from school to work full-time for a year, to earn enough money for the next two years of study costs to successfully complete their studies. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on some of the most popular products and services in the world, and then you can get your hands on some of the most popular products and services in the world.
Salang all the way to the song, vowed to Qiang culture to the end
Sophomore year, once Cicada West wearing Qiang clothing in the school "waving through the market", together with the study of what ethnicity it is. After Cicada answered that he was a Qiang, the student immediately asked him with interest about the general knowledge of the Qiang, but Cicada was speechless. As a Qiang, he could not even get the general knowledge of his own ethnic culture? Failure! For this reason, Cicada asked his Qiang friends from Maoxian, Wenchuan and Lixian to teach him, and kept reading various books about Qiang. By the time he was a junior in college, he finally had a more comprehensive understanding and awareness of the culture of his own people, and determined to revitalize the Qiang culture to fight for life.
In 2003, Cicada West created the Baidu Qiang bar and opened his personal Qiang culture blog. After getting acquainted with Yuan Xiaoming and Yuan Haifang in the Qiang bar, he founded the China Qiang Culture Information Network and insisted on "promoting the excellent culture of the Qiang people and national unity". The company's main goal is to promote the culture of the Qiang people, to promote national unity and to enrich campus life," he said.
The year of the full-time job, Cicada West traveled to five provinces in the northwest of the motherland. Everywhere, always take the free time to go to the square to promote, popularize the Qiang Salang, so that the world to understand the Qiang's excellent national culture. After transferring back to Beichuan, Cicada West has been more active in promoting and popularizing Qiang Salang in townships in the county and some communities in Mianyang. Although there are times when he sings until his voice goes up in smoke and dances until his legs cramp up, the fatigue disappears immediately when he sees that the people like it so much. As a practitioner of Qiang culture, Cicada Xi has also brought Qiang Salang to many other places, promoting cultural exchanges between Beichuan and other places. From 2003 to now, by rough count, the students taught by Cicada Xi himself have long exceeded 10,000 people.
Over the years, Cicada Xi has not only spread the Qiang Salang culture around, but also publicized and developed the Qiang Salang culture through the creation of works such as "Push Pole Dance", "Beichuan Qiang Fitness Salang", and "Yuqiang Divine Rhythm", making it easier for the general public to pass on and learn. Meanwhile, Cicada Xi has become a subject of much local controversy because of his high-profile words and deeds.
Honor in front of curbing arrogance, keep up the good work
May 12, 2008, Cicada West for the first time in his life feel the earthquake, for the first time in his life to see nature so fierce. But in front of this disaster, Beichuan people did not retreat, not be intimidated. At that time, Cicada West was participating in the county party committee auditorium to participate in the county party committee commendation meeting. Due to the late realization of the earthquake, Cicada West could not run out in time, and shrank into the seat under the shelter. After the first earthquake, Cicada West and other young cadres, armed police brothers immediately on the auditorium was crushed students, cadres to start rescue. No tools, with hand planing, moving the move, pulling out the pulling out, one after another live life from the hands of the grim reclaimed. A short one hour, but at that time felt quite long.
Perhaps did not experience the earthquake do not know the power of aftershocks, perhaps was not afraid of death, perhaps it is to take this opportunity to do a hero, that afternoon Cicada West ceaselessly in the vicinity of the county party committee search and rescue. Spent more than an hour, single-handedly from the crumbling dormitory building of the county party committee rescued five trapped people and cadres. That night, he joined the rescue of students from his alma mater, Beichuan Middle School, and continued until the early morning of the next day. Later, for five consecutive days, Cicada West was too busy searching and assisting in search and rescue in the county to leave. With no time to charge his cell phone, he didn't even report peace to his family, causing his parents to be incredibly worried at home.
On February 26, 2009, Cicada was named "Advanced Individual for Courage and Courageousness in Earthquake Relief in Sichuan Province" by the Sichuan Provincial Committee for Comprehensive Governance. However, Cicada still thinks that what he has done is only what a national cadre and a conscientious citizen should do. The future is still long, the protection and inheritance of Qiang culture there are many, the task of post-disaster reconstruction is still very heavy, but he firmly believes that, as long as the right direction step by step to go on, guard against arrogance, keep up the good work, tireless, life will be more exciting!
