On June 26, Dong Yuhui was invited to Luanping No. 1 Middle School to participate in the People's Daily public welfare project --- "Dream Open Class", and told high school students about "Reading and Life".
During the whole speech, Dong Yuhui completely took off the script and talked eloquently. And of course, don't forget to interact with the students.
After watching Dong Yuhui's speech, we all know that he has repeatedly mentioned "Ordinary World" on many occasions.
According to statistics, this set of books ranks first in the number of borrowings in university libraries across the country all year round.
Dong Yuhui said that the problem that currently plagues middle school students is that children don't know why they want to study. So he mentioned the book that had a major impact on his life: "The Ordinary World".
He said that he watched this book repeatedly from the first year of junior high school to the third year of high school, and read it a total of 6 times.
He mentioned that when Shaoping and Xiaoxia graduated from high school, Xiaoxia told him: Don't become a secular farmer in the future, all you talk about is food. Put a blanket on your shoulders and look for a suitable opportunity on the street to buy a cheap pig baby......
Dong Yuhui said that on a hot summer, the math teacher was lecturing on the podium, and when he hid behind a large stack of books and read this passage, he was suddenly awakened and had a feeling of enlightenment.
In his own words, his hairs stood on end, and for the first time he realized how he could choose how to live.
Even if he was born in the countryside like Sun Shaoping and his family background is ordinary.
It can be said that at this moment, Dong Yuhui had an epiphany when he was a teenager.
It was this book that gave the ignorant teenager Dong Yuhui a surging passion, and the protagonist Sun Shaoping's attitude towards life also affected Dong Yuhui to a great extent.
In his speech, he also mentioned that Sun Shaoping had a long scar on his face after the accident in the mine. Rather than be discouraged by this, he thought it would increase his manhood.
When he decided to go back to the Daya Bay Coal Mine, he also went to Xinhua Bookstore to buy a book: "The Impact of Some Raw Materials on the Future of Mankind", and he was concerned about his black gold career.
Personally, I understand that this is very similar to the words of the Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature: "The world kisses me with pain, and I repay it with a song."
This also has to remind people of Dong Yuhui's experience: Sun Eryi smashed the coconut with Dong Yuhui's hand in the live broadcast room, and ridiculed him in public for not knowing how to manage...... There are too many, if you change someone, you will definitely be desperate to tell all the inside story, and then slap your ass and leave. But Dong Yuhui didn't, he endured all this silently alone, let go of the past, and walked with a group of like-minded friends to create and walk with Hui.
Is this very similar to Sun Shaoping?
In that special era, Sun Shaoping lost the opportunity to go to college, lost his beloved girlfriend, his master died in the mining disaster, and he was disfigured by the mining accident...... But even so, he resolutely returned to the mine and continued his life of struggle. Because in his opinion, his work is honorable and has a sense of mission
Whether it is in him, but we have seen in Dong Yuhui's body, although he was born in the grassroots class, he has always been positive and brave to fight.
After Shaoping suffered a mining disaster, he actually had the opportunity to stay in the city. Because his brother-in-law is from a Kochi family in the city, Kim so, who works in the hospital, confesses to him again.
But he didn't choose to live a comfortable life, he still followed his heart and chose a difficult and difficult path.
Dong Yuhui is not? After encountering the small essay incident, how many large companies like JD.com are willing to pay a high salary to poach him? Taking 10,000 steps back, there is no company to dig him, he was selected from the East and chose to work alone, occasionally talking and selling goods on his account, and the goods were hung in the small yellow car at will, with an annual salary of 10 million, and it was not impossible to achieve financial freedom.
But he didn't, he, like Shaoping, chose a difficult and difficult path. What he wants is that he has a strong sense of mission and responsibility.
In his speech at Luanping No. 1 Middle School, he said: When I am nameless, don't underestimate yourself, don't be presumptuous, that is, belittle ourselves in English.
Sun Shaoping in the book, whether he is a laborer in Huangyuan or a worker in Dayawan, although his body is very hard, he has persistent beliefs in his heart.
How could the young Dong Yuhui not be like this? From the worst English score in the class, to studying hard, he became the first in the grade.
So he told the children to look for books that would give them the same strength as "Ordinary World" when they were teenagers.
He suggested that children should read more classics, because the reason why classics become classics is that they can still reach people's hearts after passing through a long time tunnel.
To be honest, I watched "Ordinary World" 20 years ago. I remember being moved to tears by the many details in the novel.
Shaoping, who came from a poor family, went to the cafeteria to eat, driven by his self-esteem, he walked behind every time to get his two black-faced buns. The rain under the eaves dripped into the iron basin with only a little vegetable soup left, and the sound of him scraping the iron basin with a spoon was so harsh......
Of course, there are also many touching love stories described in the book. Sun Shaoan and He Xiulian, Li Xiangqian and Tian Jian, Sun Shaoping and Tian Xiaoxia......
The most touching thing is that the love between Jin Bo and the horse herding girl is warm and romantic, but full of regrets. Every time I see this, and listen to "In That Far Away Place", I can't help but burst into tears.
Personally, I think that Dong Yuhui reading this book when he was a teenager was like an enlightenment, and he can empathize with it. It is because of the family environment of the protagonist in the book, Sun Shaoping, that his personal growth experience has many similarities with him. So Sun Shaoping prompted him to discover the light, chase the light, and become the light. That's the power that books give.
As he said in his speech, "Reading books when I was young gave me strength. Reading books in college gave me perspectives. Reading books at work has given me a certain kind of specific wisdom."
So have you read this "Ordinary World" mentioned by Dong Yuhui in many speeches? What is the most touching point? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area.
