Not a star, not a small meat, not a financial tycoon, nor a business tycoon.
It was a woman.
An ordinary-looking woman, even a woman who is not very distinctive. Her name is more popular.
Her name is Zhang Guimei.
In 2020, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China awarded Zhang Guimei the title of "National Excellent party member";
Recently, the Propaganda Department of the CPC Central Committee awarded her the title of "Model of the Times". Zhang Guimei, who looked ordinary, was suddenly pushed into the spotlight.
Why does she deserve such an honor? Let's take a look at her information first:
Zhang Guimei,1was born in Mudanjiang City, Heilongjiang Province in June, 1957, originally from Xiuyan Manchu Autonomous County, Liaoning Province.1joined the work in February, 1975.1joined the China * * * Production Party in April, 1998, and was the secretary and principal of Lijiang Huaping Girls' High School, and the president of Huaping County Children's Welfare Institute.
This is the introduction of Baidu to her. Seemingly unremarkable, she used the strongest female strength to make an important event to convey the fire of hope, which was written into the history worth remembering forever.
She founded the first free high school for girls in China, and it took 12 years of hard work to get 1804 poor girls who might drop out of school out of the mountains and into the university gate, bathed in the sunshine like other happy children.
We may be poor all our lives, and it is difficult to change another person's fate, but Zhang Guimei did it, not to change one person, but to change 1804 people. She is worthy of the heavy title of "model of the times"!
From a happy life to a blow to fate.
Zhang Guimei, a native of Heilongjiang, went to Zhibian, Yunnan at the age of 17, and later taught in Xizhou, Dali with her husband.
At first, she was also a young woman who loved beauty, dressing up and having fun. Her husband is the principal of Xizhou No.1 Middle School, and she is a teacher of the school. They don't worry about food and clothing.
At that time, Zhang Guimei loved her husband deeply, and she lived a rich life, just like the happiest couple in the world. Zhang Guimei thinks she is the happiest person in the world.
After living like this for more than five years, a hospital treatment list showed Zhang Guimei a terrible fangs: her beloved husband was diagnosed with advanced gastric cancer.
They took out all their savings and sold all the assets that could be sold at home, raising a total of more than 200 thousand. The sum of 200,000 in those years was not a small sum, but in the face of advanced cancer, it was still a drop in the bucket. Soon, the money ran out and they had to borrow money to maintain their treatment.
However, this is a bottomless pit. In the end, all the money at home was spent, and all the money that could be borrowed was borrowed. Relatives and friends all take a detour when they see it. The husband had to give up treatment, and before long, the husband left.
After her husband left, Zhang Guimei suddenly lost the courage to continue living.
In despair, she drifted to the main road and tried to kill herself. However, the driver's skill is too good. She slammed on the steering wheel, slammed on the brakes and passed death by. The driver who stopped roared, don't hurt anyone if you want to die. I have old people and young people.
I woke Zhang Guimei up at once. Yes, I can't cheat people like that. So Zhang Guimei gave up suicide and went back. But how can the shock of her husband's departure be borne at once? Zhang Guimei started a muddled life, like a walking corpse every day.
Until one day, in class, she saw her classmates write on the composition she brought: We will never see Teacher Zhang's beautiful smile again. She cries every day, and we can't breathe after watching it.
In an instant, she was inspired and decided not to live like this. So she resigned as a teacher in Xizhou No.1 Middle School and went to Huaping County, Lijiang City to become a teacher in Huaping Central School.
That is 1996. She is alone, with all her personal belongings and her husband's daily clothes.
0 from wanting to die to wanting to live
Huaping is located in the deep mountains southwest of Liangshan, with poor land and poor people. Even now, it is still one of the poorest places in China, not to mention 24 years ago.
Zhang Guimei, who came to Huaping County, devoted himself to teaching. She used to be very playful and beautiful, but she was rich. She doesn't like playing anymore. She applied to the school to bring four graduating classes from grade three. She works hard every day, getting up early and getting greedy for the dark. She is not rich. She took out her salary, ate the worst, used the least, and squeezed out money to buy clothes and food for her children.
There are many poor students in the school, and many students drop out of school in the middle of reading. She visited them one by one and paid their tuition.
When she saw the poor children shivering with cold, she even gave them clothes in memory of her husband. People asked her why, but it was her only memorial. She said: I have to take care of the living first.
However, more than a year later, another medical certificate from the hospital brought a blow: severe uterine fibroids. The examination results showed that the tumor in her stomach had grown to the size of a five-month-old fetus.
This time, she wants to live. The reason is: the child is going to take the senior high school entrance examination, and I must live!
Zhang Guimei at this time is not the miserable Zhang Guimei before.
She overcame the blow brought by marriage and found a new main line of life-creating higher value for her life ideal!
The doctor advised her to have an operation at once, but she endured the pain and continued to prepare for the senior high school entrance examination with her children, which lasted for three months until the end of the senior high school entrance examination. During the operation, the tumor squeezed the internal organs out of position.
The tumor was removed this time, but due to long-term fatigue and lack of rest, the disease quickly recurred.
Zhang Guimei has no savings for a long time, and all his salary is invested in education. However, Zhang Guimei's deeds have already spread in Huaping County. School teachers, simple villagers and even strangers from other places all want to chip in to treat her.
She was moved by these lovely people. She decided that I must do something for this land.
0 from ordinary to great
In the process of teaching, a home visit experience made her unforgettable.
A girl of 13 years old, her parents insisted on giving her a bride price of 30 thousand yuan to marry.
She found the girl's parents and did a lot of work. In the end, it didn't help, so she had to give up. Later, she never saw the girl again. This has also become the pain of her life.
If a family in a poor mountainous area has several children, the girl is often the despised party. They can't get the education they deserve. They began to do farm work when they were four or five years old. Their parents instilled in them the idea of helping their younger brothers, but they were reluctant to give them a delicious meal. After finishing primary school, they dropped out of school in a hurry to take care of their younger brothers and sisters. I rushed to get married when I was a teenager, and changed my brother's bride price.
However, due to the lack of education, this idea has been passed down from generation to generation. She will be the same mother when she grows up.
In addition, she also found that most abandoned orphans are baby girls, and behind every abandoned orphan, there is an ignorant mother.
Poverty in the depths of the mountains and the tragedy caused by poverty are naked in front of her eyes: a mother's ignorance will lead to the ignorance of the whole family. If a woman reads a book and has a culture, she will save the future of the whole family. If I can save a woman, it is equivalent to saving three generations.
In 2002, Zhang Guimei had a crazy idea:
I want to build a free girls' school in this mountain, so that girls who drop out of school because of poverty and ignorance can go to high school and university! I want to keep the poverty and ignorance of the girls in the mountains in front of me!
This year, Zhang Guimei was 45 years old.
In fact, Huaping County's finance is simply not enough to support Zhang Guimei to open a free high school for girls.
For many people, it is impossible to realize her wish, even a little funny. A 45-year-old woman from a poverty-stricken county in a remote area wants to raise millions to open a school for her children to study for free, which is tantamount to a fantasy!
Sure enough, for five years, she tried her best to run around just to raise 10000 yuan.
Although the reality was unbearable, she did not give up.
This dilemma ushered in the dawn in 2007. Because she was elected as the representative of the 17th National Congress, in Beijing and in the Great Hall of the People, she was able to publicly express her wish to run a free high school for girls only.
Her story spread and touched a group of people. In this way, it was completed in 2008 with the support of all walks of life in Yunnan Province!
The power of women, a single spark.
It turns out that women can be so powerful. It turns out that apart from marriage, a person can also have such a firm belief and practice it from beginning to end.
Since that day, Zhang Guimei has continued to accept girls from poor families, enrolling 65,438+0,804 students. She dragged her sick body with her children and created one miracle after another.
She said: I may not live for a few years. When I am alive, I must watch them go out. These girls study hard in this high school, get out of the school and the mountains, repay Teacher Zhang and paint a better future for themselves.

Borrowing from Guangming Daily's summary that "a beam of hope lights up children's life in pursuit of dreams", 12 years, most of the graduates of Huaping girls' middle school have become teachers, doctors, civil servants, enterprise managers, as well as border police and customs officers.
This year (2020), two college students who graduated from Huaping Girls' High School volunteered to join the army and enter Tibet. Now, the students of girls' high schools have spread all over the country.
They are all saying: being your student is our greatest luck.
0 female, what are you living for?
If it were you, after experiencing inseparable family life, your husband died suddenly, or you were in love and your husband suddenly cheated, what would you do?
Are you addicted to pain and giving up, or are you rediscovering the value of life? Zhang Guimei gave her the answer. Generate shows great energy in her thin body and becomes the most dazzling woman of this era.
People's life is too long, and they will always experience one thing or another. When it happened, some people knelt down and never stood up again, while others always had a clear main line of life and moved on after the episode.
Many girls are puzzled by this question: the main line of life? The main line of my life is family and children. I've been with them for half my life. Marriage and family are all I have.
Then you need to think about a question: you only see family and children, so what is your own value? Why on earth are you alive?
I want to invite my sister to see Zhang Guimei. Doesn't she get along with her husband? Was she ever unhappy? Neither, so why can she stand up under a huge blow?
I think we can find the answer from her deeds. Everyone is an independent and speculative individual, and our value is never dependent on the fulfillment of others.
Husband, he can be your sympathetic partner, he can help you all the way when you need it, he can give you spiritual or material support, but he can't be everything to you.
Your main shaft, only yourself.
Children, you can accompany it to learn from babbling, you can devote yourself to raising her and giving it everything it needs in the process of growth, you can protect it when it encounters setbacks, but you can't tie yourself to it.
You have to understand that you are yourself, your life value, and you have to protect yourself.
Women can also be great.
Finally, I want to talk about Zhang Guimei and one of her hot searches.
In an interview video in May 438+10 this year, Zhang Guimei recalled the story that in 20 18, students refused to accept their donations because they became full-time wives. The remark that "I am most opposed to being a full-time wife" in the video triggered a hot discussion about "full-time wife" on the Internet.
The topic # President Zhang Guimei opposes being a stay-at-home wife # has been read by more than 530 million people, causing an uproar. Many people began to abuse her, which is difficult for a full-time wife to do. Why should I object?
The outside world is screaming, but in the video, the criticized student Huang is very ashamed. She said: I think if I don't have the height of a woman, I may not have a chance to go to college. Not only I, but also many students may not be admitted to the university. Everyone has different positions and different ideas. President Zhang opposes being a full-time wife from the standpoint of our female high school students. Subsequently, Huang was admitted to a special post teacher and became a special post teacher in a primary school in Anshun, Guizhou.
There is no denying that being a full-time wife is very, very hard.
We can't deny the value of being a full-time wife, but we should see that being a full-time wife is very risky. Because the value of a full-time wife is limited to the family and is not measured and recognized by society.
When a woman has been a full-time wife for several years, she is out of touch with society. If she encounters a family crisis, she will face great difficulties when she comes out again.
This is exactly what President Zhang is worried about. Therefore, she is not shooting at this crowd, but she knows very well that the students she is taking are originally coming out of this road. Why go back to this road?
Women in the mountains get married when they are old, and then have children. If they can't have sons, they will have one, two and three. This kind of girl, without the help of her family, revolves around her family and children all her life.
Perhaps the greatest value is to have a son.
What about the girl who went to college? I could have used my knowledge to create more value for the society and have a broader world. Why let yourself fall into the small circle of family and childbirth?
Therefore, it is understandable that President Zhang's words are fierce. She created learning conditions for these girls, which she bought bit by bit with her life, and she exchanged her life for their bright future. She is a slap in the face, which is to curb the girls she brought out.
Our life may not be as difficult as girls in poor mountainous areas, but we can still reflect. What kind of life do you want? Even if we are full-time wives, we should be different full-time wives. We are not attached to anyone from thought to action!
You can live the life you want as long as you want.
0 those female role models
Woman, that's excellent. Hua Chunying is the 27th and 5th spokeswoman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He has been engaged in diplomatic work for 20 years. He has worked in the European Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and in Europe and Asia. He is the "winter jasmine" of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

There are many, many excellent women who have their own main lines of life. As long as you are clear about your pursuit, all walks of life are your stage. One day, you will stand in the brightest place, just like live high wants.
I was born a mountain, not a stream. I want to overlook the mediocre ravine on the summit.
I was born an outstanding person, not a dirt. I stand on the shoulders of great men and despise humble cowards.
This sentence is the oath of Huaping Girls' Middle School.
Here you are.
