Because of a photo, Su Mingjuan became popular unexpectedly;
Because of this photo, Su Mingjuan did not drop out of school;
is still because of this photo. In 1998, 14-year-old Su Mingjuan became a representative of the 14th National Congress of the Communist Youth League and the youngest NPC representative.
By 2017, Su Mingjuan was the first to be the deputy secretary of the Anhui Provincial Committee of the Communist Youth League and a deputy department-level cadre.
What has Su Mingjuan experienced over the years? Is it possible to become a deputy department-level cadre at such a young age? Is it based on my own abilities or is it because of the afterglow of that photo?
On April 1991, Jie Hailong from the Cultural Center of Chongwen District, Beijing came to Dabie Mountain to take promotional photos for the Hope Project.
He has walked through more than a dozen villages in the Dabie Mountains and took many photos.
But in a classroom at Sanhe Central Primary School in Jinzhai County, Anhui Province, he took a photo that attracted high attention from the whole country:
In the dilapidated classroom, a girl holding a pencil in her hand, looking straight ahead with two big eyes, bright and firm.
Those big eyes stared straight ahead, full of desire, full of desire for knowledge. It was these eyes that made countless people break their defenses. Once published, the photo named "Big Eyes" was quickly reprinted by major media at home and abroad. Finally, the "Big Eyes" became the publicity symbol of Hope Project.
The protagonist of this photo also became the image ambassador of Hope Project.
Su Mingjuan is that girl.
She was born in 1983 and is from Zhangwan Village, Taoling Township, Jinzhai County, Anhui Province.
Su Mingjuan's hometown is surrounded by water on three sides, with a per capita arable land area and a high-altitude area. You can imagine the grain output.
Su Lijuan's family's food is enough, which is only enough for the whole family to eat for three months. My father and mother had to work hard every day. My father went up the mountain to chop wood, and my mother went down the river to catch fish, and life was tight.
Going to school may sometimes be a luxury for some people.
Su Mingjuan's father is quite open-minded than other parents, and he fully supports his children's attitude towards school. When Su Mingjuan reached the age of school, the family was tight-knitted and finally paid enough for her tuition and miscellaneous fees.
After walking for an hour, Su Mingjuan came to the school she was fascinated by.
Our current school has bright windows and clean windows, warm winter and cool summer, and integrated blackboard computers. Children learn easily in the fun of teaching.
However, in the late 1980s and early 1990s, teaching facilities in many areas of my country were still lagging behind, especially in those poor areas.
The school where Su Mingjuan is located is located in such a poor area.
There is no heating in winter, and mosquitoes keep coming in summer. In fact, windows can only be regarded as window frames, because they lack funds and cannot afford glass. However, due to the light problem, the windows cannot be covered.
In winter, the wind blows in unscrupulously from every window. The children could only write while trembling, holding pencils in their hands and tremblingly. And in summer, thunderstorms, the children by the window suffer. When the weather is good, the flying mosquitoes not only disturb the sound, but also makes the children helpless.
Even so, Su Mingjuan still did not think about giving up learning.
But an insurmountable dilemma emerged.
The family can't afford her tuition and miscellaneous fees, and Su Mingjuan will be in a situation of losing school.
The arrival of Jiehailong is like a land with a long drought, ushering in timely rain.
is themed "I want to go to school". Once the photo of "big eyes" has been published, it has caused strong shocks at home and abroad. Those big eyes that hit the heart hit every kind heart.
The current situation of children in poor mountainous areas has come into people's eyes and attracted the attention of thousands of households.
The problem of children's difficulty in going to school is also paid more attention to by all sectors of society. I hope that thousands of Su Mingjuan can learn and read books.
Su Mingjuan's situation has attracted widespread attention from caring people.
Su Mingjuan's home has received donations from all over the country. The one who remembered her the most was the first person to give her funding - Li Wan .
I am grateful to Li Wan, not because he was the first person to help Su Mingjuan, but Li Wan's letters.
After Li Wan saw the "big eyes" photo, he immediately sent the money to Su Mingjuan. Then he would send money to Su Mingjuan regularly, each time 100 yuan until she graduated from elementary school.
is mailed with the money, and there is also a letter.
"The hardships of living conditions have the opportunity to overcome, but the spiritual pillar that persists is difficult to always exist."
money solved her life difficulties. But those letters were Su Mingjuan's spiritual food, and it was the encouragement of the words that Su Mingjuan did not give up on her path to study.
Those letters she has kept until now, and they are the pillars on her way forward and resist all difficulties.

Su Mingjuan, this name may not be familiar with, , but her "big eyes" photo has set off a wave of donations across the country.
Hope Project received donations from all over the country. Everyone's help brought dawn to children who were out of school due to poverty.
Continuous donations gathered at Su Lijuan's home. These funding has long exceeded the family's expectations. What choice will their family make when they are always poor?
After the publication of "Big Eyes", Su Mingjuan's family received donations and donations from all over the country.
Su Mingjuan’s parents no longer have to worry about Su Mingjuan’s tuition fees.
Looking at the donations that are still being remitted, Su Mingjuan's father immediately said that he should know how to repay his kindness and not ask for those donations anymore.
Su Mingjuan's father said that they are still young and can work hard. They have received donations from others. People should not be too greedy. The extra money should be handed over to those who need it more.
The donor will not want to go back to the money and goods that have been donated.
After negotiation, their family returned the money they received to Hope Project. Moreover, every New Year's Day, my mother always gives the shoes and bacon she made by herself to those kind-hearted people who have helped them.
Since then, their family has also joined the ranks of caring people.
Under the loving attention of the people of the whole country, the "big eyes" girl grew up day by day and finally lived up to expectations. In 2003, Su Mingjuan was admitted to the Finance Department of Anhui University with her own efforts.
has escaped the entanglement of poverty life, and happy days are getting better and better day by day.
In 2010, Su Mingjuan, who completed her studies, successfully entered the ICBC in Anhui Province. Once the door to happiness is opened, a sweet life will follow.
Su Mingjuan, who works hard to live, also gains love, and her husband is also a high school alumnus. Now he settles in Hefei and has two children.
Su Mingjuan has been on the verge of dropping out of school to her current job and family are all successful. She has gained and made efforts, and her current life is peaceful and happy.
Will she forget her original oath, stop and stop participating in social welfare undertakings?
Su Mingjuan said that she has a strong sense of mission, and this sense of mission pushes her forward.
voted for wood peach and Qiong Yao. She wanted to do her best to give back to society and help those in need.

As early as when Su Mingjuan was still in the second year of junior high school, she wanted to return a donation from caring people, but the donor refused to take it back.
She mailed the donation she gave to Ningxia, a child who could not afford to go to school like her before.When she received a letter from Ningxia with tears, she felt extremely happy and knew that she had done the most correct thing.
During college, Su Mingjuan transferred the 900 yuan given to her by the Love Foundation every semester to those who need it more.
However, she joined the team of looking for a job on weekends and holidays. She donated all the money she earned to Hope Project, except for the life necessary.
After working, donate all of his first salary. And regularly donate 1,000 yuan to help those poor students.
did not give for granted for granted, nor did it accept it for granted.
Su Mingjuan knows that dripping water can turn into a river, and sparks can set off a prairie fire. Although he is alone, he hopes that the big ship of the project can carry more people.
Su Mingjuan never stopped her love path. In addition to donating money, she also went to poor areas to teach. During the teaching process, she not only donated money and materials, taught the children cultural knowledge, but also told the children about her personal experience.
Children not only receive funding in life, but also spiritually encouraged. She motivates children to face difficulties and never have any rifts that cannot be overcome.
In a poorer place than her hometown, she saw the children's desire for knowledge, and she was able to deeply understand what kind of desire it was.
Personal abilities are limited after all.
In 2006, after discussing with Jie Hailong, Su Mingjuan decided to auction the copyright of the photo "Big Eyes". The auction raised a total of 308,000 yuan.
Su Mingjuan immediately used the money to the place where she needed it most - in Qushui County, Tibet, a Hope Primary School named "Big Eyes" was built.
Su Mingjuan has long been a household name because of the photos. She used her influence to apply for the establishment of the "Su Mingjuan Scholarship Fund" in 2018. Shortly after the establishment of
, it received nearly one million donations.
Foundation uses the donations received to the places where it is most needed. Among them, three Hope Primary Schools were participated in the construction of the aid, and at least 80 poor students were funded.
Everyone is doing their own work and everything is calm. That photo of "big eyes" is also left in people's hearts.
But a news article in 2017 brought people's eyes back to the "big eyes".
Su Mingjuan was elected as deputy secretary of the Anhui Provincial Committee of the Communist Youth League in 2017. This is really a rock that causes a thousand waves.
Su Mingjuan, deputy department-level cadre, has no experience or qualifications, can she do it?

The former girl with big eyes has once again become the focus of society.
The title of deputy department-level cadre has attracted countless doubts for her, and even doubts about her path to study.
Did the little girl pass the exam by herself when she went to college? Are there any shortcuts? What kind of big backdoor did she go to become a senior cadre ?
Anyone who knows Su Mingjuan knows that this is really wronged this good girl.
Although her study journey was difficult, with the help of caring people, she no longer had to worry about her tuition fees, but the completion of her studies was really done through her own efforts.
As for Deputy Secretary Ji of Anhui Province of the Communist Youth League, a deputy department-level cadre, it is just a false title, not a deputy department-level cadre in the actual sense, there is no staffing or administrative level, it is just a part-time job.
Su Mingjuan does not receive salary, does not enjoy treatment, and has no real power. She just wants to use her own influence, do her best to contribute to the Hope Project and friends in difficulties across the country.
In 2018, Su Mingjuan thanked Jie Hailong with tears in her eyes on a CCTV program.
Without Xie Hailong’s journey of hope, there would be no Su Mingjuan’s today.
Su Mingjuan realized her dream. She wanted to pass on her love and hold the umbrella of hope for more children.
Don’t forget to dig wells when drawing water.Su Mingjuan said that she had been wet with the rain and wanted to hold an umbrella for others.
She is lucky. She is a beneficiary of public welfare and a practitioner of public welfare activities. A photo solved her big problem; this photo also illuminated her future life, and now she has become a light in the eyes of others.
Flew into the sea, and every bit of good deeds becomes great love.
It is with the help of those caring people that poor students return to their beloved schools. Children who are helped grow up healthily and become useful talents in the country.
is like Su Mingjuan, who receives funding from the society and gives back to the society with her greatest ability.
cycle repeats itself, repeating and endlessly, passing on love and letting more people join in the transmission of love. I hope there will be no more children in the future, who cannot read books or go to school.
