In 1991, Wu Shiju and his wife from Suizhou City, Hubei Province picked up a baby girl near the train station and decided to take her back and raise her as an adult.
Unexpectedly, this girl "killed monsters and upgraded" all the way, and became a doctor from a prestigious university 28 years later.
Unfortunately, her adoptive mother suffered from Alzheimer's disease during her studies, and the girl resolutely continued her studies with her octogenarian dementia adoptive mother.
This girl is called Sun Yuqing. What is the touching story behind her study?
Sun Yuqing recalled the place where her mother picked her up
Abandoned baby at the train station
In 1991, Wu Shiju and Sun Xixian, who were over fifty years old, Returning from an errand, I passed by the alley next to the Suizhou Railway Station and saw a group of people discussing in a circle. From time to time, I could hear a few babies crying.
Wu Shiju took a closer look and found a several-month-old baby wrapped in a duffel bag. "I'm afraid someone's baby girl doesn't want this anymore," Wu Shiju thought to herself.
In the rural areas of that era, the phenomenon of favoring boys over girls was very serious. Giving birth to a girl meant losing one part of the labor force and one more mouth to eat.

People at that time were generally not rich yet, and some who could not afford to raise their children gave them away. Most of them were If a child is abandoned, whoever picks it up and takes it home is the child's blessing.
The old couple Wu Shiju and Sun Xixian discussed that meeting each other was fate. No one wants this child, so let’s take it home. This child is very pitiful. If this continues, the child will be in danger.
The old couple had no children, but they didn’t expect that God would “gift” a child when they were over fifty.
Sun Xixian was a primary school teacher and was considered a "cultural man" in that era. The primary school teacher was also stumped when it came to naming the child.
After thinking about it, I wanted to give the child a name that would have more meaning over the years. Finally, I had a flash of inspiration. They met this child on a sunny day, and they called her Yuqing. Bar.
Yuqing is homophonic to Yuqing, which is both pleasant and memorable. Sun Xixian was so happy to think of such a nice name for a girl.
Sun Yuqing
Ever since the old couple had Yuqing, they have been "holding it in their hands and slapping it, and holding it in their mouths for fear of it melting." , loves this child very much.
When Sun Yuqing was one year old, she got seriously ill. The old couple took her to the hospital overnight to treat her child, regardless of fatigue.
During the days when Sun Yuqing was ill and hospitalized, Wu Shiju and his wife spent all their savings and could no longer afford medical expenses, but the child's disease needed to be treated.
They could never accept that because of their kind thoughts at the time, they took the child back but could not feed it. Didn’t this harm the child? They didn’t care about face, so they found Sun Yuqing’s doctor and knelt down, begging the doctor. No matter what, we must save the child.
"We really have no money. Can we stop interrupting the child's treatment? We will give you an IOU, and we will make up for the money even if we go begging for food."
Wu Shiju cried and begged the doctor.

The doctor was moved by the kindness of Wu Shiju and his wife. After discussion with the hospital leaders, he decided that the hospital is an institution that saves lives and heals the wounded. They can't just ignore it. They will reduce Sun Yuqing's treatment costs to a certain extent, but some basic treatment costs will still have to be borne by Wu Shiju.
"Of course, of course, we are very grateful that the hospital is willing to continue treatment."
Wu Shiju wiped her tears while thanking the doctor.
Wu Shiju and Sun Xixian were so old that they took turns cleaning the hospital for free to express their gratitude for the hospital's help. They also saved their own food money to treat Sun Yuqing.
In this way, Sun Yuqing walked around "Death Valley" and came back safely. Such a small baby experienced a serious illness, which made Wu Shiju and his wife love her even more.

Time flies very quickly, and it is time to go to school in a blink of an eye. The old couple prepared the children for school very early. everything.
"What kind of school should a girl go to? When she grows up, she can go out to work and earn money." The neighbor's ridicule angered Sun Xixian, a primary school teacher.
"I have the final say on whether the baby I raised by myself can go to school. What happens to the baby girl? The baby girl will not be able to study or read."
Sun Xixian yelled at the neighbors with a blushing face and pulled his neck.
After Sun Yuqing, who was originally smart, went to school, her excellent academic performance made Wu Shiju and his wife happy. This girl is so good, well-behaved and sensible.

When Sun Yuqing went to middle school, Sun Xixian was older. Xiaoxue has retired from her position as a teacher, and this originally poor family is gradually becoming more and more struggling.
In order to prevent her children from interrupting their studies due to lack of money, Wu Shiju went out to pick up garbage. She went to the garbage pool to pick up plastic bottles every day, turning them over many times a day.
Sun Xixian was responsible for sorting the plastic bottles picked up by Wu Shiju into different categories. In order to sell them at a higher price, Sun Xixian had to go to a scrap collection station more than 20 miles away from home.
Sun Yuqing is also a very ambitious child. In addition to maintaining excellent academic performance, she helps her mother pick up scraps during her breaks, and then helps her father sell scraps.
Although life is a bit tough, the family has a relatively strong character. They don’t feel it is shameful to pick up scraps. It is a virtue to make a living by oneself. They are very open-minded about this matter, so they are optimistic, and there is not much external pressure.
However, there are unforeseen circumstances, and people have misfortunes and misfortunes. What kind of ups and downs did Sun Yuqing encounter?
Wu Shiju is suffering from Alzheimer's disease
Must be admitted to college
As the days passed, Sun Yuqing also We are about to face a major choice in life - the college entrance examination.
After all, Wu Shiju and Sun Xixian are old. They have "more than enough heart but not enough strength". Their bodies can no longer bear too many burdens of life. In addition, they are suffering from various diseases. In order to save some money, but also for As long as it didn't affect Sun Yuqing's studies, she had always resisted going to the hospital.
Although she tried her best to hide it, Sun Yuqing still knew about it. Her father, Sun Xixian, was very seriously ill and could not hide it no matter what.
How could Sun Yuqing, who was home for the holidays, still have the time to study? She cried and wanted to stay at home to take care of her seriously ill father. However, Sun Xixian said to her daughter very sternly: "You must go back to school and prepare well for the college entrance examination. How can you be distracted at this time?"
Seeing his daughter crying sadly, Sun Xixian said softly: "Good girl, go back to school. Dad is still waiting for your college admission notice."
Sun Xixian and Wu Shiju, two kind old people
Sun Yuqing did not dare to disobey her father's wishes and returned to school step by step. Unexpectedly, Sun Xixian passed away the next day. This blow was so great that Sun Yuqing was in a state of "confusion" in the following days.
In the college entrance examination, which can almost determine the fate of a lifetime, Sun Yuqing performed abnormally. If you perform normally, there will be no problem in getting a bachelor's degree.
Although Sun Yuqing’s final score allowed her to attend a third-tier college, when she thought of the high tuition fees, Sun Yuqing gave up without even thinking about it.
In the end, Sun Yuqing could only attend a higher vocational college.
Colleges and Universities
As the saying goes: "Nothing is difficult in the world, as long as you are willing to climb." Sun Yuqing, who went to a junior college, was not discouraged. She knew that it was not that she was not good at studying, but that her father's sudden death had a great impact on her and she did not perform well in the college entrance examination.
"Junior college is not my goal. I can go to undergraduate, postgraduate, and Ph.D., and I will still be no worse than others."
Sun Yuqing secretly encouraged herself. How could such a strong girl give up easily?
Although she is full of ambitions, she still has to face difficulties one after another. Sun Yuqing had to pay for the tuition fees of four to five thousand a year for college, as well as living expenses during schooling, on her own.
“Mom Wu Shiju is old and not in good health. It’s good that she can take care of herself at home now. It’s very, very difficult for her to raise herself and support herself in college. It can’t be done anymore. It has never been my Sun Yuqing’s character to put my mother in a difficult position and “wait for help”.
Sun Yuqing waved her fist to cheer herself up: "I can do it, I will definitely do it."

With the help of relatives, Sun Yuqing applied for a student loan and solved the first problem first. After entering the university campus, Sun Yuqing did not appreciate the beautiful scenery of the campus like other girls, nor did she have time to dress up and go shopping in beautiful clothes and shoes.
Survival is the first priority. She has to go to class on weekdays and tutor on weekends. During the busiest time, Sun Yuqing took on three tutors in one day.
Usually at school, Sun Yuqing goes to the cafeteria to help after school, which can solve her biggest expense-three meals a day.
Even so, Sun Yuqing did not fall behind in her studies. Sun Yuqing received a scholarship every year during college. "This is achieved through my own hard work, so I am very proud." Sun Yuqing sometimes comforted herself with pride.
God will reward you. God will never let down a person who works so hard.

Three years later, Sun Yuqing successfully passed the junior college entrance examination and continued her undergraduate studies at her original school. Life during her undergraduate years was still the same. Sun Yuqing was still so dedicated and worked so hard.
During the five years of junior college and undergraduate studies, Sun Yuqing persisted. Teachers and classmates all admired such a stubborn girl.
The most difficult thing is that during the postgraduate entrance examination, there is not enough time to study. Sun Yuqing has to go home to see her mother Wu Shiju every once in a while.
My mother is suffering from Alzheimer's disease, which is also known as Alzheimer's disease. This disease requires constant companionship. Fortunately, the initial symptoms are not very serious, and self-care is not a problem. This is also Sun Yuqing was relieved a lot.
"The edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold." It is difficult to taste the fruits of victory without experiencing some suffering. The winter in Hubei is very cold and there is no heating. Sun Yuqing, who is at the critical moment of taking the postgraduate entrance examination, is working hard to the limit.
What should I do if it’s too cold and I can’t sit still? Sun Yuqing went downstairs and ran around the teaching building a few times, waiting for her body and bones to warm up before going to the study room to continue studying. She was the last one to leave every time. The aunt in charge of the study room's hygiene remembered her and would wait until she left before turning off the lights every time.
Even so, Sun Yuqing never cried out in pain or tiredness.
This strong girl turned suffering into a kind of wealth.
What will greet her will be a brilliant future.

After Sun Yuqing’s unremitting efforts, she got her wish and was admitted to a graduate school in a key university in Xi’an with excellent results.
Is it the end of all hardships? Sun Yuqing doesn't think so: "It's just that it's a little easier than when I was an undergraduate, but the tasks I face are still very difficult. I decided to take my mother to graduate school."
While studying for graduate school in Xi'an, Sun Yuqing wanted to learn more. I took good care of my mother and rented a house next to the school to live with my mother.
What makes Sun Yuqing dumbfounded is that her mother's Alzheimer's disease has become serious. She often just goes out to go to class, and Wu Shiju goes out by herself later. Because she can't find the way back, she often leaves. That's more than ten kilometers.
Wu Shiju's state made Sun Yuqing extremely worried. Sitting in the classroom, she would also wonder where her mother had gone, whether she had fallen, and whether there would be any kindhearted people to help guide her.
Later, Sun Yuqing had no choice but to make a name tag that read, "My mother has Alzheimer's disease and can't find her way home. Please call for help." She also left her phone number on the badge, and then kind-hearted people often called Sun Yuqing to ask her to pick up people.
Although it is a helpless move, at least you don’t have to worry about your mother getting lost.

Is it difficult to combine the pressure of studies and the responsibility of taking care of your mother?
Of course it is difficult for ordinary people, but in Sun Yuqing's eyes, this is not a problem.
Sun Yuqing once told her classmates about her mother: "It is at times like this that my mother needs me, because when I need her, she also gives me the same dedication. I want to do my best to accompany her. . ”
Warm and simple words, every word reveals responsibility and courage. Just like her adoptive parents Wu Shiju and Sun Xixian, they never get discouraged when facing difficulties.
During her graduate studies, relatively speaking, Sun Yuqing had controllable time. In addition to spending more time with her mother, if the school holds some evening parties, Sun Yuqing will take her mother to watch them together. She is afraid that her mother will not understand, so she will explain them to her while watching.
In Sun Yuqing's eyes, this feeling of mother and daughter getting along is a warm and calm happiness.
Sun Yuqing and her mother together
During the graduate school period, the school’s scholarships were relatively high, and coupled with the hard money earned as a tutor, the lives of Sun Yuqing and her mother were also smooth. It was no longer as hard as before, and gradually Sun Yuqing also gained some savings. She knew that she could realize her mother's dream that had been hidden for many years.
Many years ago, my mother accidentally said that it would be great if she could go to Beijing to see the Summer Palace, the Forbidden City, and the Bird's Nest. This life would be enough.
The speaker has no intention but the listener has the intention. Sun Yuqing firmly remembers her mother's dream. Even if it is this small dream, she could not help her mother realize it before.
It’s okay now. During Mother’s Day, many scenic spots in Beijing were filled with the laughter of Sun Yuqing and Wu Shiju.
They saw the Bird's Nest for the first time, the Forbidden City for the first time, and visited the alleys of Beijing for the first time... Seeing her mother's happy face, Sun Yuqing felt that no matter how hard or tired she was, worth.
