HongZhanhui is a 23-year-old college student. He has raised an abandoned (被遗弃的) child for 11years.
This story moved millions of Chinese people. Hong was born in a small village in Henan Province. When he
was 12, his father suddenly went crazy (疯狂的,古怪的) and killed his lovely sister.
Hong was very sad. He missed his sister very much. Then the family adopted (收养) a baby girl called
Chenchen.
The illness of Hong's father became worse and worse, He often hit his wife. Later, Hong's mother ran away
from home. Hong had to support the family and bring up Chenchen by himself.
In 1998, Hong entered Xihua No.Senior High School, about 20 kilometres from his home. Hong took
Chenchen along with him. He never talked to others about his hard life. He put his part-time into many things:
working to get money, looking after his adopted sister, and sending medicine home for his father. He sold,
pens, books, tapeds and phone cards after school."Many people looked down on me for that,"Hong said,"But I
didn't care."
In 2003 Hong entered Hunan huaihua College. Hong sent Chenchen, now 12, to a primary school in Hunan with the money he got. When Hong's story became public, many people wanted to gave him money. But Hong
refused.
"Poverty(贫穷、贫困)and suffering (苦难) should not be an excuse for begging sympathy (同情) and help
from society,"said Hong."I think it is most important for a man to support himself and be strong."
