The family was too poor to afford the cost of feeding the baby girl, and his mother told Hong Zhaohui to give her away. Hong Zhaohui helplessly out of the house, holding the baby girl walking in the bone-chilling cold wind, a kind of love and compassion came to life, intolerance, he cried and turned back home. He said to his mother, "No matter what, I do not send away this little sister ...... you do not raise, I will raise!" The baby girl stayed, Hong Zhaohui named her Hong while while, nicknamed "Little Bit".
Because of his father's illness, once there is no medication to maintain, he can not be inhibited to mania. Once onset, often see who hit who, the burden of the family all pressed on the illiterate mother, she also often suffered from his father beatings for no reason.
One day in the fall of 1995. Hong Zhaohui saw, mother after lunch, has been steaming steamed buns, until the buns enough to let the family eat a week later, she stopped. What was mom doing with so many steamed buns? Hong Zhaohui wondered. Until the next morning disappeared mother, Hong Zhaohui understand everything! The family burden, her husband's fists, overwhelmed her mother, and she chose to flee.
Holding his "sister" and sitting in the cold room, Hong Zhaohui's tears flowed down. Mom is gone, the father is a patient, just 1 year old "little bit" how to bring up. After sitting for a long time, Hong Zhaohui told himself: Since everything has been unable to change, then bear it.
It was really hard at that time because the family was so poor that they didn't know what to make her eat when she was hungry. In order to buy milk powder to feed his sister, Hong Zhanhui from elementary school to become a hawker, in the neighborhood market, winter selling eggs, summer selling popsicles. When he really didn't have any money, he sometimes took his sister to the homes of people with children to excuse her from the milk.
Breastfeeding is the most difficult, Hong Zhaohui know that the temperature should be appropriate, he will be adjusted to the milk first poured a little bit on the arm, feel not cold and not hot before feeding his sister. Eat a full "little bit" is quite obedient, Hong Zhaohui as long as the school before and at noon in time to come back to breastfeeding twice, she did not cry. The hard part is the night, perhaps because of the shock, every night late, "Little Bit" will be crying. At this time, Hong Zhanhui can not help, he did not know how to coax her, just pick up her, patting her, walking back and forth in the house.
He also wanted to give the "small" nutrition, most of the time, is to go up the tree to pull out the bird eggs for his sister to make bird egg soup, for this reason, he more than once from the tree fell down.
Bringing his sister to high school, he was beaten by others for selling books after school
Hong Zhaohui straightened the spine of the teenager to carry and move forward. 1997, "Little Bit" was 3 years old, Hong Zhaohui also successfully completed junior high school, becoming one of the three students from Dongzhen Middle School who got into the key high school in Henan Province, Xihua First High School.
The first three students in the program were from the same school in the same year.
The study of high school will no longer be as free as the middle school, not to mention the need to leave home to live in the school, the difficulty of raising a younger sister invariably increased a lot, Hong Zhaohui thought of giving up. "Received a high school acceptance letter, is my most difficult time, then I want to find "little" biological mother, send her back, but did not succeed. From then on, I have actually felt the love between me and "Dot" can not be separated. "
This year on September 1, after much consideration, Hong Zhaohui took the "little bitty" to Xihua First High School. He left 500 yuan of the 1,000 yuan given by his parents to his father for medication, and used the remaining 500 yuan plus the money he earned from working during the holidays to pay his tuition. He borrowed a room at his distant uncle's house, not far from the school, to accommodate "Dot" and also as his own residence.
The two need money to support their lives. For this reason, Hong Zhaohui also used after-school time on campus to sell study books. Once he went to another class to sell books after school, he was coincidentally bumped into by the homeroom teacher of that class, and he was unceremoniously kicked out of the classroom by the unknown homeroom teacher.
He was even beaten up for stealing business from a bookstore that sells exam books near Nanguan in Xihua County.
While earning money, studying and taking care of his "little one", he also had to go home regularly to give his father medication, and in the midst of the hardship, Hong Zhaohui made it through. However, when Hong Zhaohui entered his second year of high school, his father's condition deteriorated and he had to be hospitalized. So, Hong Zhaohui had to take a break from school to earn money for his father's treatment.
With unyielding faith, after not unloading the struggle, in June 2003, Hong Zhaohui finally entered the college entrance examination room. In July, the results of the college entrance examination was announced, Hong Zhaohui's score over the specialized line. In filling out the volunteer, Hong Zhaohui to charge the cheapest for the selection criteria, and finally reported the western Hunan undergraduate comprehensive school - Hunan Huaihua College.
"Brother, paper cranes are so difficult to fold, I still folded into, I have no money, can not buy anything to give you, just send this ......"
Accepted to the university, but tuition fees have also become a problem for Hong Zhaohui. During the vacation, he earned 1,500 yuan working in a spring factory. Considering the fact that the tuition fees are not yet paid off, and going to a new place, Hong Zhaohui did not bring the "little bitty" to the beginning of the school year. He entrusted his aunt to take care of him and came to Huaihua alone.
After school, Hong Zhaohui sold phone cards on campus, pulled advertisements for Huaihua TV's "Economic E-Time" program, and acted as a sales agent for an electronics distributor. When the department leader learned of his real situation, he asked what he wanted, and he suggested that he wanted to bring his younger sister, who was out of school and at home, to school with him.
The leadership of Huaihua College, after consideration, agreed that Hong Zhaohui will be "small" to pick up, and arranged a separate dormitory room for him, so that he can take care of his sister. Subsequently, Hong Zhaohui came to the college near the Hecheng District, Huaihua City, Shimen Primary School, to find the principal, put forward the sister's request for insertion, the principal also agreed. From then on, "small" and back to Hong Zhaohui side, in the hard days, the two "siblings" to enjoy the joy of family.
In 2005, the 25th day of the 5th lunar month was Hong Zhaohui's birthday. On this day, he suddenly heard the campus radio in his own song, he ate a shock: so many years, no one has ever talked about his birthday ah! So he went to inquire who ordered it. At this point, he realized that it was his sister, who he had held in his heart for more than 10 years. That night, "Little Bit" came back from school and sent him a thousand paper cranes. "Dot" said: "Brother, the paper crane is so difficult to fold, I still folded into, I have no money, can not buy anything to give you, just send this ......"
2005 In July 2005, "Little Bit" in the Shimen elementary school organization of the final exam, the language exam 94 points, math exam 96 points, and was awarded the school "top ten teenagers" honorary title. Looking at the "small" award, Hong Zhaohui felt a lot of feelings, "this time, I am the most happy."
His life has never been a hope out of hope. After entering the university, every year home in the Spring Festival, he was pleased to see his father's condition greatly improved, at the end of 2004, his mother also felt guilty, returned to the home of a long time.
I can support myself and my sister without any donations.
Hong Zhanhui's story of carrying his sister to school for 12 years has become the focus of recent social attention after being reported by a number of media outlets across the country, with people constantly expressing their willingness to make donations to help him raise his sister. Surprisingly, on December 8, Hong Zhanhui published an open letter in a media outlet, in which Hong Zhanhui, while expressing his gratitude to those who cared about him and his sister, made it clear that he could support himself and his sister and did not need any social donations.
"My attitude is that I will never publish my account number on the Internet or in the media, and please be sure to note that last year, someone posed as my teacher and published the donation account number on the Internet in my name.
The reason for not accepting donations is that I think it is most important for a person to be self-reliant and self-improving. Suffering and painful experiences are not the capital for me to accept all donations. I now have the ability to survive and thrive! There are still a lot of people in this society who are in hardship and unable to struggle! They are the ones who need help!"
