This summer, the circle of friends was screened by several "poor students". First of all, Cui, a candidate from Yunnan, was working with his parents on the construction site when he received the admission notice from Peking University. Next, Wang Xinyi, a girl from Hebei, wrote "Thank you for your poverty". When Peking University's notice came home, she was still working outside, and now she has added a watermelon boy, Li Enhui.
Apart from being born in poverty, these three students have many common qualities. Li Enhui said in an interview with the media, "As long as you are alive, there is no problem that cannot be solved." "Many people have no similar experience. These experiences are stepping stones to grow up and make yourself better. " This cognition makes many adults feel ashamed. Combined with his refusal to donate money and earning tuition and fees by selling melons by himself, this is actually strong and optimistic. This is what three "poor students" have in common, including Wang Xinyi, a girl from Hebei Province, who actually expresses her strong optimism by "thanking the poor".
No matter what kind of value choice you make, your strong optimism is indispensable in your growth kit. Nine times out of ten, life is not satisfactory. Only by being strong and optimistic can we face the storm. In many people's subconscious, a strong and poor life and an optimistic and happy life are all more temperamental. In fact, living in poverty does not mean pain, and living in happiness does not mean optimism. Strong optimism is not necessarily related to life itself. People praised the three "poor students". What is truly affirmed is not poverty, but a strong and optimistic attitude in the face of poverty.
Students who have not formally entered the society can rarely choose life, but they can choose their own attitude towards life. During the World Cup in Russia, a picture appeared on the Internet, putting French Mbappé and our three entertainment teenagers together, with a line: The girl is China's mother, which stung many people. Compared with the appearance of young people, what deserves more attention is whether their inner world is strong and optimistic. If many people had doubts before, there is no need to worry now.
At that time, Mr. Liang Qichao wrote that "China is strong when young people are strong", but he didn't specifically explain what "strong" means. This "strength" has a wide connotation, which should refer to physical strength, but it is not all or even the focus. As far as spiritual quality is concerned, it must have strong significance. Being weak for a while is nothing. As long as you have a strong and optimistic attitude, you will have a bright future. These three "poor students" unanimously chose to be strong and optimistic, which is their most valuable and touching place.
In reality, not only these three "poor students", but also many students choose to earn their tuition by working. Due to the limited reporting resources, it may not be discovered or paid attention to, but it is all true. Even some students don't choose to work to earn tuition, which doesn't mean they don't have strong and optimistic qualities. Labeling a group can only convey "arrogance and prejudice".
The most valuable thing about Watermelon Boy is its strong and optimistic spirit and attitude. Moreover, this spiritual quality is not unique to several teenagers. Represented by these three "poor students", contemporary teenagers are still a promising generation. This is also the best response to "young people are stronger than China".
