"Give me 500 yuan a month, and I can't afford to install any grandchildren!" In 2006, Xiang Haiqing, a poor college student, angrily denounced to the media: "I want to completely expose Sun Li's 'ugly things', Sun Li is a hypocrite, she promised to sponsor me to graduate from college, but now she is gone, so that I can't even eat, she is simply selling her reputation!" ”
In a remote mountain village, there lived a very poor family. Xiang Haiqing grew up in such an environment. His father suffered from a chronic illness many years ago, and the family barely survived by relying on his mother to plant a vegetable pit in the mountains.
However, Xiang Haiqing is a smart and clever child who loves to learn since he was a child. Although his family was poor, he never gave up easily, but worked harder. The teachers in the village discovered the talent of this young man, so with the support of the villagers, Xiang Haiqing was finally able to leave his hometown and study in a key middle school in the county.
With talent and diligence, Xiang Haiqing is like a fish in water in learning. With extraordinary efforts, he was admitted to a major university in China with excellent results. But just as he was about to leave his hometown and start a new life, Xiang Haiqing encountered a thorny problem - his family was too poor to pay his college tuition and living expenses.
Just when he was at his wit's end, a lucky thing happened. The popular film and television star Sun Li accidentally saw a touching report about Xiang Haiqing's study, and immediately decided to lend a hand and sponsor this poor child to complete his college dream.
Xiang Haiqing was ecstatic, for a child like him, Sun Li's donation was undoubtedly a light, guiding him to a new path in life. He no longer has to worry about his future, and he can go to school with peace of mind.
Sun Li's monthly subsidy of 500 yuan, although it seems meager, is a great favor that can not be found for Xiang Haiqing's family. In order to express his inner gratitude, Xiang Haiqing often tells the story of Sun Li's sponsorship in front of the people around him. Every holiday, he will write a thank you letter to Sun Li, or make a phone call to say thank you.
In this way, with Sun Li's sponsorship, Xiang Haiqing got his wish and entered the university campus. Gradually, however, there were some subtle changes in his lifestyle. In the beginning, he was able to run his family frugally and spend his limited living expenses on food and clothing. But it didn't take long for him to be tempted by the big city life in front of him.
Xiang Haiqing looked at the classmates around him, dressed neatly and fashionably, and lived a carefree life. And I always can't afford to buy a decent pair of clothes and pants, and I eat in the cheapest cafeteria in school. This made him ashamed, and his inner yearning for material life became stronger and stronger. Soon, he began to ask Sun Li for an increase in the amount of funding.
At the beginning, Sun Li was able to understand Xiang Haiqing's situation and appropriately increased some funding costs. But later, Xiang Haiqing's request became bottomless. He always asked Sun Li to come up with more money again and again on the grounds of insufficient living expenses.
Sun Li is not ignorant of this. She sent someone to secretly investigate Xiang Haiqing's actual living conditions at school. Unexpectedly, the results of the investigation were surprising - Xiang Haiqing was not the diligent and studious child he had imagined, on the contrary, he not only abandoned his previous simple duties on campus, but also abandoned his studies. The money given by Sun Li was simply spent on comparison and show-off.
After learning the truth, Sun Li's mother and daughter were naturally sad and angry. The original intention of funding Xiang Haiqing was to hope that he could concentrate on his studies and make a difference in the future, instead of degenerating into such a desireless and unrestrained faint king. In a fit of rage, Sun Li decided to immediately suspend all subsidies to Haiqing and only give him 500 yuan per month for food and clothing.
The sudden economic supply cut caught Xiang Haiqing off guard. He originally thought that as long as he was a little coquettish, Sun Li would use money to make him happy. Who knew that this time, Sun Li was determined to punish his behavior. Seeing that the luxurious life he dreamed of was suddenly interrupted like this, Xiang Haiqing's anger naturally came up on the ground.
After that, all kinds of scolding wars and public opinion disputes were known one after another. Xiang Haiqing began to frantically expose and abuse Sun Li's mother and daughter on major social platforms for their "hypocrisy" and "poor funding". For a period of time, the field of public opinion was completely occupied, and many good men and women stood on Xiang Haiqing's side, abusing and denouncing Sun Li's mother and daughter.
Just when the pressure of public opinion on Sun Li from the outside world became heavier, a senior news media intervened and carried out in-depth investigative reporting. It didn't take long for the whole thing to be completely exposed.
Once the truth is revealed, the position will naturally be reversed. What was previously criticized by public opinion has now become a widely acclaimed role model. Xiang Haiqing has become a negative teaching material of "greed and ingratitude", and has been condemned and spurned by all walks of life.
Afterwards, Xiang Haiqing also realized the mistake of his behavior, bowed his head and apologized to Sun Li's mother and daughter, expressing repentance. Although Sun Li's mother and daughter finally forgave magnanimously, the once simple and beautiful friendship between the two has been completely broken by that incident.
Soon after, Sun Li's development in the film and television industry became more and more smooth. She is indeed a good person who knows how to repay her kindness and is gentle and kind. In contrast, Xiang Haiqing's life path has been full of obstacles and slumped. If he had been humble, he might not have found himself in such an embarrassing situation. The conversation on campus in the past has now become a regrettable past that no one remembers.
When some poor young people suddenly receive outside funding, they often lose their way, become vain and impetuous, and even contrived and greedy. They have forgotten the difficult situation they had been in and have turned their rights and duties upside down. In the end, the disaster came out of his mouth, not only could he not change his fate as he wished, but he also exhausted his goodwill and opportunities.
