The following is an inspirational story about Liu Xiuxiang. Liu Xiuxiang was born in a poor mountainous area. When he was four years old, his father passed away. Then, his brother and sister left home one after another, and his mother became mentally unstable. Such family changes made him bear the burden of life at a young age, but he always believed that reading could change his fate. When he was admitted to the county middle school, his neighbor advised him to give up his studies and go home to farm, but the 12-year-old was unmoved and decided to take his mother to the county. Before he left home, he swore in front of his father's grave that he would cure his mother's illness and give her a warm home. If he could not achieve something, he would never come back. In his third year of junior high school, he and his mother lived in a thatched cottage on the mountain, making a living by picking up waste, doing odd jobs, and picking up vegetables in the vegetable market. The New Year was the most terrifying time for him because he could not buy new clothes for his mother or provide delicious food. Despite the hardships of life, he was still admitted to the best high school in the county. He and his mother lived in a rented pigsty. In order to improve their lives, he worked hard at the construction site, lifting steel bars and cement. However, long-term hard work and malnutrition caused him to collapse in the college entrance examination hall, and he eventually failed to enter university by six points. This blow made him lose hope for a while and even wanted to end his life. However, after accidentally flipping to the motivational words he had written, he regained his confidence and wanted to repeat it. However, many high schools rejected him. In the end, he could only kneel in front of the principal and beg for a chance. This kneeling was his last hope. In 2008, Liu Xiuxiang was admitted to Linyi Normal University in Shandong Province. In September, he took his mother north to study. This year, his story appeared on the front page of the newspaper, but he used the only money he had to buy all the newspapers in the newsstand. He did not want to be pitied or helped because he felt that the most difficult time had passed. During university, he used his spare time to work part-time. After earning money to buy medicine for his mother, the remaining money was used to fund his younger brother and sister who he had met while picking up waste. After graduating from university, he refused a job with an annual salary of 550,000 yuan and resolutely returned to his hometown to teach. He knew that he had come out of it, but there were still many children in the small county who were trapped in the mud like him. In the process of teaching, the worst class he taught, 47 students all passed the undergraduate course. He had ridden his motorcycle into the mountains countless times to do his homework. Every student who was forced to work would make him deeply blame himself. He always felt that if he did more homework, he could change the fate of his children. He went to various schools to give speeches, revealing the scars that he had tried his best to cover up, just to inspire students to believe in the power of struggle and let them understand that studying could give them a better future. As of September 2020, the amount of funding he had provided for students had reached 2.915 million yuan. He not only created material conditions for students, but also established spiritual beliefs in their hearts. Liu Xiuxiang's story showed the indomitable, courageous, and inspirational spirit of not forgetting his original heart. The story of one person and a group of people is equally exciting.
