Ma Guocai, Gaoshan Village, Chishi Township, Yunhe County: My son passed the college entrance examination, but the family is really facing difficulties. The child's mother is disabled and has been relying solely on me to work for a long time to support a family of four. A few days ago, my son received an admission letter, and the tuition fee of 16000 yuan on it left me at a loss. For a family like me, even if the whole family doesn't eat, drink, or work for two years, they may not be able to make ends meet. But I don't want my child to follow my old path. Please try to help me with the evening paper as much as possible.
The reporter came to the house rented by Ma Guocai, and only Ma Guocai's wife was at home. Upon inquiry, Ma Guocai and his son Ma Zhouying both went to work at a nearby toy factory. Upon learning of the reporter's arrival, Ma Zhouying quietly borrowed money to buy a few bottles of drinks as a treat, but was later returned to the store by the reporter.
When it comes to Ma Zhouying's "learning journey," neighbors say it's not easy: around the age of 7, he studied in first grade in Gaoshan Village and then transferred to Kubei Elementary School. He had to walk more than ten miles on a mountain road every day, and also took a boat on the way. He was even bitten by a poisonous snake once. The father looked at his child's enthusiasm for reading and came to the city to work, so that the child could study in the city.
The Ma family's source of income relies solely on their father working alone, and their mother with congenital visual impairment can only "touch" some household chores at home. They also have a young sister who is in primary school and has been living a very difficult life. After moving to the city from Gaoshan Village in Chishi Township, my family of four has been staying at Ma Zhouying's aunt's house.
In the eyes of his family, Ma Zhou should be a filial and sensible child. In the eyes of class teacher Ye Yunxiang, Ma Zhou should be a clever and sensible good student. He studies very hard at school and lives frugally. His clothes are quietly supported by teachers and classmates, the rice is taken by himself, and the vegetables are salted vegetables brought at home. His monthly allowance is only 20 yuan.
This year's college entrance examination, Ma Zhou was admitted to Wenzhou University with a total score of 462 in science, reaching the third tier. Excited, he fell into deep trouble again. How can he solve the expensive tuition fee of 16000 yuan? Ma Zhou should have started working at a toy factory and could earn 20 to 30 yuan a day. However, relying on these summer days to raise 16000 yuan is even more difficult than climbing the sky. For the sake of their son's tuition fees, the parents have also turned their heads white. The annual tuition and living expenses are tens of thousands of yuan, which is an astronomical number for them.
If I can't go to school, I can only work in the factory like my father forever. I really want to go to school, I want to change my fate, "Ma Zhouying said.
In order to help Ma Zhou complete his university studies, the reporter contacted Wang Huawen, the general manager of Lishui Ouyi Bearing Manufacturing Co., Ltd., who had previously helped impoverished children and students multiple times. Although the company's funds are currently tight, Wang Huawen still said he would do his best to support Ma Zhouying after learning about the situation.
This morning, Wang Huawen personally sent the first 3000 yuan student aid to the newspaper for the reporter to transfer, and stated that partial funding can be provided every year. When Wang Huawen learned that Ma Zhouying would study in the mechanical department of the university in the future, he also welcomed Ma Zhouying to work in the company during the summer and winter vacation to earn money, and he could also work in his company after graduation.
