The family of nine is supported by him alone
Li Xiangzhi is an ordinary farmer in Chenzhou, Hunan Province, in 1993, after his wife died of illness for many years, Li Xiangzhi was introduced by people to form a new family with Li Shuiying.

A family of seven is already under pressure. In 1999, Li Shuiying and her ex-husband's eldest daughter Li Xiaoling and second daughter Li Xiaoyu also came to the couple. It turned out that Li Shuiying's ex-husband was obsessed with gambling, and the two children were hungry and full all day.
Li Xiangzhi recalled the situation at that time: "The two children were hungry and skinny, very pitiful. My wife's daughter, my daughter, is eating anyway. In this way, he wrapped Xiao Ling and Xiao Yu in his arms and formed a special family of nine.

The roof leaked during the overnight rain. Not long after, the wife suffered from severe rheumatism, gradually lost the ability to work, and needed long-term medication. Since then, the burden of livelihood of a family of nine has all been on the shoulders of Li Xiangzhi.
Six children went to school, the maximum annual tuition and miscellaneous expenses reached more than 6,000 yuan, Li Xiangzhi single-handedly contracted more than ten acres of land, and he had to support the family with the spirit of hard-working and hard-working.
The eldest daughter, Li Xiaoling, recalled her father's difficulties in the text:
"Although life is hard, my father silently shoulders all the burdens and tries his best to create a home full of warmth and love for us, but he has not even said a word of complaint to us." He always taught us that as long as we are willing to work hard, there will be a way out. His optimistic spirit and resolute gaze still deeply affect me to this day, like a guiding light on my life path, guiding me to work hard. ”
Life is hard though
But he was determined to make his children read
Although he lived a life facing the loess with his back to the sky, Li Xiangzhi knew that "knowledge changes destiny". After discovering that his three daughters were both talented and hard at studying, he made up his mind to send them to college. "I said that no matter what, as long as you can get in, I firmly support you to read."

The eldest daughter, Li Xiaoling, mentioned that in order to support the children's reading, the father always cut the door on himself:
"The impression is that no matter how poor the family is, as long as we open our mouths to ask for homework books and stationery fees, my father immediately paid for us, but he himself has not bought a new dress for many years.
Once, my mother's foot pain was severe, and my father stopped working for half a day to send me living expenses to Jiahe Yizhong, and after he took out the only hundred-yuan bill from his tattered pants pocket and gave it to me, he said that he would go back to the farm work immediately.
Looking at his distant back, I explained to my classmates with embarrassment: My father did not change his clothes today, and he went out in his clothes for farm work. In fact, the whitewashed, patched and wrinkled clothes were already his most decent outfit. ”
In those years, some people advised Li Xiangzhi to let his daughters give up their studies, but Li Xiangzhi was very "stubborn": "I am just a cow and a horse, and I also want to provide them with good books." ”
Children understand the hard work of their parents, are diligent and thrifty, and study hard. For more than 20 years, with the support of Li Xiangzhi, the three stepdaughters have successively become doctoral and master students of famous universities. During college, they relied on scholarships and work-study, which relieved their father of a lot of burdens.
The eldest daughter, Li Xiaoling, said that being taken in by her father made her "only feel that her life was saved", "Without my father, my sister and I would never have grown up normally, and as for going to college, going to graduate school, and studying abroad, I couldn't even think about it... It was my father who paved the way for us to shelter from the wind and rain and pave the way for us, so that we had a broad world! ”
