She once touched countless people with the article "Selling Rice" and won the first prize.

However, he died of leukemia a year before receiving the award.

God is jealous of talents, so that a generation of talented people died at the age of their prime.

In 2003, CCTV host Sa Beining appeared at her mourning meeting and weptly introduced the hard and hard-working life of this talented man.

What did Zhang Peixiang experience in his short life?

The little lotus showed its sharp corners

Whose youth is so dazzling?

In 1997, 18-year-old Zhang Peixiang came to Beijing with 1,000 yuan of belongings that his family had put together.

She stood at the gate of Peking University, full of hope and looking forward to the future.

Zhang Peixiang has loved reading since she was a child, and she is hungry for knowledge in college.

In four years, she stood out from 500 in an elite law school and finished ninth.

Maybe someone will laugh at the ninth, what is there to say.

But what you don't know is how "rich" her experience has been along the way.

The sad way to school

Zhang Peixiang was born in 1979 in a poor family in Liling, Hunan.

Her father was ill for many years, and her mother was nearly paralyzed in one hand by polio and had her mammary gland cut off.

She also has a younger brother, and her family of origin is so "different".

When she was a child, her parents had no money to pay for her education, so she had to follow her mother to work in the fields.

If you have ever planted a field, you should know the hardships.

People have to brave the hot sun to plow the fields and water, and in the winter they have to resist the bitter cold.

She once saw her peers carrying school bags to school, and she longed for her and asked her father if she could go to school herself.

But her family conditions did not allow it, and Zhang Peixiang went through several spring and autumn seasons in disappointment.

Finally, at the age of 6, she ushered in good news.

She was finally able to go to school, so she studied hard at school and had a good time.

But at the age of 10, she almost dropped out of school.

As he grew older, the burden on his family gradually increased, and he could no longer afford Zhang Peixiang's tuition.

Her family prepares to drop her out of school, and Zhang Peixiang is very sad to see that he is about to be forced to give up the books he loves.

There must be a way to turn around, and her aunt appeared.

My aunt and uncle felt sorry for her at a young age, and when they saw that she had a talent for reading, they communicated with her parents and wanted to take her away to continue studying.

The parents also knew that the only way out was to study, so they let their daughter follow them.

In this way, Zhang Peixiang came to Sifen Shuangtang Primary School to study.

She seized the opportunity to study harder than before, and in 1991, she was admitted to Liling No. 1 Middle School with the first place in the school.

But suffering seems to pick only the afflicted.

In her sophomore year of high school, her parents finally couldn't afford the tuition, and Zhang Peixiang also knew that if she studied again, she would drag her frail parents to death.

She said goodbye to school in tears and went south to work.

Fortunately, after hearing about her, Principal Luo was moved to say that he had never met such an excellent student.

It took four months to find her, waived all fees and "invited" her to continue her education.

Zhang Peixiang was grateful, studied hard, and lived up to expectations and was successfully admitted to the law school of Peking University a year later.

The family was proud of her, but at the same time sad for her efforts.

But the top priority is to prepare for Zhang Peixiang's tuition.

The family scraped together and finally raised 1,000 yuan, and she came to Peking University with all her belongings.

Here she started a new life.

Bloom of youth

Zhang Peixiang studied hard at Peking University.

Her law school was full of talent, and law required a lot of learning and memorization, so she often stayed late in the library.

In addition, her family was poor, and the 1,000 yuan at that time had almost spent the family's savings.

But she didn't plan to reach out and ask her parents for money, but decided to figure it out on her own.

There are scholarships in college, so she studied hard and won scholarships several times, relieving the financial pressure.

God still favored her, and after graduation, she successfully studied for a master's degree in this school.

Zhang Peixiang is not a dead reader, she also has a wide range of hobbies.

She likes to play chess and has set up her own chess club.

She also likes to read and write, so she often goes to Beijing TV to help write scripts and do planning.

At the same time, she also studied translation and creation on her own.

The dazzling light emitted by this pearl attracts many people.

In 2003, her hometown Hunan Satellite TV launched the "New Youth" column, and she was lucky to enter it and assist in planning.

She showed her skills in this program and served as a guest host, which received considerable ratings.

Zhang's achievements are more than that.

She has read a lot of books since she was a child, loves to write, and already has a deep literary foundation.

She has a pseudonym flyingflower on the Weiming BBS website of Peking University, which translates to "Feihua" in Chinese, and presents many wonderful articles for everyone.

The play "Red Mansion" is popular in colleges and universities across the country, and countless people have become fans of "Flying Flowers".

She also wrote many anthologies such as "Flying Flower Reading Notes" and "Ten Days of Red Mansions".

Zhang Peixiang has achieved such achievements in Chinese writing, and her foreign language translation is not to be outdone.

Her translation of Do You Want Your Dog to Be as Happy? and other foreign works have been published and distributed by well-known publishing houses.

But the most famous is her non-fiction "Selling Rice".

The "Qiongbao" in this is based on Zhang Peixiang himself.

It recounts the scene when she was a child and accompanied her mother to sell rice on the street and bargained with the rice sellers.

They had to carry the rice they had worked so hard to grow to rush to the field, a total of two loads, one more than 80 catties and the other more than 60 catties.

Qiong Bao felt sorry for her mother and wanted to bear the burden, but her mother didn't let her, so she walked out of the door with a heavy burden.

Qiong Bao hurriedly followed, and the two of them went out under the sun.

There are a lot of rice sellers in the bazaar, all waiting for the rice sellers to come and buy it.

Her family's rice is very good, and it stands to reason that she can buy it at a good price, but the rice seller is a black-hearted person who has to buy it at a low price.

The two pulled like this, and the rice seller left in a hurry, but the mother didn't end well.

She was bent on selling for a good price, but she didn't sell it in the end, so she had to walk back again.

Qiong Bao also did bad things with good intentions, and was scolded by her mother for sprinkling some rice.

When she got home, her mother cried angrily, and Joan Bao was exhausted and fell asleep.

After this article was issued, it resonated with many students, most of whom are also from poor families and live a hard life.

And Zhang Peixiang also won the first prize with this article.

Everything seems to be going in a good direction, but fate will always give a blow to the head suddenly.

God is jealous of talent

In 2003, SARS ravaged the country, killing many people.

At the beginning, Zhang Peixiang found that he was often dizzy, wheezing, uncomfortable, and had red spots on his body.

But she didn't care, just an ordinary minor illness, but then the condition became more serious, and she went to the hospital accompanied by her classmates.

Shockingly, she was diagnosed with leukemia.

Zhang Peixiang, who saw this result, was very sad in her heart, she had not had time to enjoy life, and she was about to leave after seeing the outside world.

But she didn't want her parents to worry, so she hid the truth from the matter.

During this time, she went home to visit her parents, and her family found out that she was sick, but did not know that it was leukemia, and did not know until they could not hide it.

She was very strong when she was sick, and she just greeted her classmates and teachers who came to visit her, saying that she was optimistic.

But after all, she is a little girl who is not deeply involved in the world, and often hides in the quilt and cries.

Many people knew that her family was poor, so they spontaneously donated money for her, hoping to save her life.

But the sky was unsatisfactory, Zhang Peixiang's illness could not be cured, and she finally despaired.

On August 27, 2003, she was still gone, and her life was frozen at the age of 24, leaving us her work.

Zhang Peixiang's short life was full of waves, joys and sorrows.

Before leaving, she said that she would divide her ashes into two parts, one to return to her hometown and the other to stay at Peking University.

Zhang Peixiang's parents returned to his hometown with his ashes for burial.

Peking University on September 2 was particularly silent, and many students went to Babaoshan.

CCTV's Sa Beining also came, and he personally presided over Zhang Peixiang's mourning party in the Chrysanthemum Hall in Babaoshan, and wept about her life.

The students, teachers and others who came spontaneously burst into tears when they heard this, feeling sorry for this talented woman in her prime.

At her award ceremony the following year, people were also silent, lamenting the impermanence of the world.

Although Zhang Peixiang left us, she left us a precious wealth.

Her works have also been included in Chinese textbooks, allowing us to feel the ups and downs of life.

Epilogue:

Life is full of ups and downs, sharpening our growth.

We have to work hard to live, and only by giving can we be rewarded.
