这种坚持不懈的奋斗态度和推己及人的情怀很快感染了无数人,网友表示:这是“自强不息、厚德载物”的生动实践。
文章中提到,他当年入学时奖学金和助学金共计13000余元,扣除学杂费,一年可支配的资金只有6500元。他给自己制定了严格的开支计划,每个月只能花400元。
Upon enrollment, the student was awarded a total of 13,000 yuan through a scholarship and subsidy for poverty-hit recipients. Putting aside tuition and other fees, he was left with just 6,500 yuan, which covered all his expenses in a year.
同学吃西瓜喝饮料时,他只能默默喝水;在食堂里想办法用最少的钱吃到最可口的饭菜;无法承担班级出游花销,错过了和同学的合照……
He lived on a tight budget of about 400 yuan a month, eating frugally in the canteen and avoiding class outings which cost extra money.
没有电脑,就去学校的图书馆上网抢课;没有智能手机,还好有企业家们的慷慨捐助,“这些都是我占用了学校的资源,我很感激。”
此后的日子里,他通过家教兼职有了稳定的收入,每小时100元,每月生活费增加到2000-3000元。从大三开始,吃饭可以要两个菜了。
In his junior year, he found himself a tutoring job near the campus. The work earned him 100 yuan an hour, raising his spending power to 2,000-3,000 yuan a month.
顺利拿到清华的保研名额进入研究生学习生涯后,在自身并不宽裕的情况下,他每个学期拿出3200元,资助4名家乡希望小学孩子的生活费和学杂费。
After entering graduate school, he decided in turn to donate his hard-earned money to needy students. He gives away 3,200 yuan to four students every semester through a charity organization.
“每一年拿到学校的钱,内心的那种激动,我想只有穷过的人才清楚吧,雪中送炭远胜于锦上添花。”
"When I received the money from the university each time, my excitement was beyond words. Perhaps only those who've been flat broke can understand me," he said. "Sending coal on a snowy day is far better than adding icing on the cake."
每一年他都会手写两封感谢信,一封是给企业的3000元奖学金,一封是给基金会的5000元助学金,总结这一年的情况,规划下一年的计划。有时候还会拍个小视频,发给企业家们,祝他们生日快乐。
To express his gratitude, the student sent two handwritten letters to the people who helped him every year, updating them on his studies and career plans. He would sometimes film a short video for the entrepreneurs, sending them birthday wishes.
“我接受了这一切,那么我就该做出相应的回报,匹配我的德行,去资助像我一样的孩子,我想就是未来我要做的…… 希望未来有一天,我的能力能像是清华的校友一样,能成立基金会。我想我会亲力亲为,去真正做一些实事。”
"Having received help myself, I believe I should give back to help match the kindness," he said. "I hope one day I can establish a foundation like my fellow Tsinghua University alumni to help people in need."
文章洋洋洒洒,没有卖惨、也没有诉苦,用最朴实的语言,传递最真诚的力量,让大家看到了身处苦难中的韧劲。这样的年轻人,让人心生敬意。
