Inspirational novel Zhou Xinghe： Introduction and author introduction

　　The grass on the mountain is green and yellow, yellow and green.

　　The water at the foot of the mountain is clear and turbid, and the turbidity is clear.

　　Although life is hard, Xiaoxinghe is growing up.

　　When Zhou Xinghe was 8 years old, his parents sent him to school.

　　"Everything is inferior, only reading is high", "I am a Tian Shelang, and I am a Emperor at dusk." Although Xinghe's father can't read, like all beggars, he learned a lot of beggars' rhymes in his early years, and he also heard many operas read in the Xiangchang Temple. Although he didn't fully understand the meaning of these words in his early years, he still knew the general meaning.

　　Parents have lived in poverty and hardship since childhood. They have no chance to go to school and are illiterate, which makes them suffer all their lives, so they certainly don't want their children to become blind. At this time, it has been liberated for several years, and even the old people and women have to be rushed to the village literacy class to literacy, not to mention the children of school age! Therefore, no matter how poor and bitter the family is, they will send their children to school.

　　"Night lights even chicken, it is when a man is reading. Black hair doesn't know how to study hard early, and the white head regrets when studying. " On the first day when Xinghe went to school with a book on his back, the teacher of the school read this poem "Persuade to Learn" by Yan Zhenqing. At that time, Xinghe was still young. Although he could not fully understand the good intentions of these words, he still knew the basic meaning.

　　It is not easy for rural children to go to school. The school is in Maogong Township, Yanting County, beyond the mountain. No matter whether it is hot or cold, whether it is sunny or rainy, he must go over the mountain along the rugged mountain road leading to Maogong Township every day, and then go down to school. It takes about two hours to go back and forth. At first, when there was something to eat at home, he brought a sweet potato or a corn bag to fill his hunger at noon. Later, when there was nothing to take with me at home, I had to drink a few mouthfuls of cold water at noon and wait for me to go home from school with an empty stomach.

　　When I was a child, Xinghe was an introverted person. He was taciturn all day and was not good at words. He didn't want to communicate with his classmates too much. Most of the students in their class are rural children. Although their families are not rich, they are still much better than Xinghe. In summer, Xinghe never wore shoes, but climbed the hill barefoot. In winter, wearing thin clothes, he often curled up under the desk, frozen like a shivering puppy. However, because he is smart and sensitive, he studies hard, and his grades are not backward in class, and sometimes he is praised by teachers.

　　Although both parents can't read, like all parents in the world, of course, they all want their children to be successful and can achieve something in the future. Their methods of educating their children, in addition to believing in the folk wisdom that "Huang Jing sticks out a good man", are even more ingenious in urging their sons to learn.

　　It is children's nature to be playful. After school, in order to go down to the pond to take a bath, go up to the mountain to dig out the bird's nest, and sometimes do homework, it is inevitable to be sloppy. Father is better. Anyway, he can't read, and Xiaoxinghe does his homework well. No matter what excuses he gives, he can get away with it. However, as long as his old man hears complaints from teachers or classmates, Xiaoxinghe will never get away with it and will be punished by his father. The way his father punished him was to spank him. In order to beat his son's fart stocks, he also specially studied the thickness of the wattle stick. The stick is thick, for fear of breaking my son's bones; The stick is thin, but I'm afraid it won't serve the purpose of punishment. Later, he came to the conclusion that the thickness of chopsticks for eating in rural areas is very suitable. At the same time, in order to play a warning and deterrent role for his son, his old man's house often prepares a dozen sticks of different thicknesses and puts them in a fixed position, ready for use.

　　By contrast, his mother is much smarter than his father.

　　Although the mother can't read, she is much better than Xinghe's father. She has her own way to deal with her literate son. At that time, all the teachers asked the students to write in Chinese calligraphy. As there is no copybook, the teacher writes a line in the student's exercise book first, and then the students write according to the teacher's words. This way of copying the teacher's handwriting, no matter how clever the student is, can't write every word in the same way as the teacher's-that's good. Whenever Xinghe finishes writing, his mother begins to check his homework. Although she can't read, she naturally has her own way of checking her homework. She ingeniously uses the cotton thread for sewing clothes in the countryside as a ruler to measure the length of each word and see if all his words are exactly the same as those written by the teacher. If some words and strokes are long or short, when she is in a bad mood, Xiaoxinghe will be miserable, not only by pulling her ears, but also by Huang Jing's stick.

　　Poor inherit the wind!

　　Xinghe still remembers that once his mother went out, he was a little sloppy when he did his homework. When his mother came back, it was very late, but she had to check her son's homework no matter how late or tired she was. If she doesn't check it, Zhou Xinghe will be miserable. She still uses her effective tools to measure the length of each word. As a result of the measurement, 8 out of 10 words written on this day are inconsistent with the teacher's writing!

　　Oh, come on! Mother flew into a rage after checking her homework, and immediately went to the bed, grabbed Xiao Xinghe's ear and loudly asked him why he had done his homework so carelessly! Xinghe woke up from his sleep in pain. Because he was punished by his mother for many times, he also suppressed his stomach and spoke against his mother involuntarily-this made him even worse. Mother grabbed his ear with one hand, and with the other hand, she grabbed the Vitex stick that her father had prepared, and swept over and gave Xinghe a beating. Xinghe cried and defended, but his mother didn't listen to his excuses at all, but she played even harder!

　　When the father saw that his mother had beaten him too much, his heart ached for his son. He advised his mother: if the child's family is disobedient, hit him in the ass if you want, and don't make him deaf. Who knows that the mother was even more angry when she heard the news. She turned around and took it out on her father: If the baby doesn't listen, you have to cover his faults! You always tell me not to pull his ear, but to spank him. Let me ask you something. Hit him? Can that fart be obedient?

　　Although my mother has no education, what she scolds is actually not wrong. The key to people's disobedience lies in their ears. What does it matter?

　　"Now that I think about it, it is worth understanding the good intentions of parents' ambitions. Even a well-known entrepreneur in Hong Kong said that "children hit Tsinghua every three days". Of course, we can't demand uneducated parents and adopt better education methods for their sons. " Zhou Xinghe said, "In fact, now I can write a good calligraphy, and I have to thank them for this special way of education!"

　　The cold wind is bleak and the yellow leaves are flying. In a blink of an eye, the tough winter is coming again.

　　At that time, under the punishment of his parents, Huang Jing, the young Xinghe only suffered from some flesh and blood occasionally. In those hard and bitter years, the more unforgettable pain left in his mind was hunger before the empty space.

　　On September 5th, 2021, the column of "People's Voices" in the 4th issue of "Incorrupt Government Internal Reference" published the title "A subversive revolution in the field of architecture and building materials in China", in which the seventh line of the subtitle "May the great invention of new materials in Xinghe be vigorously promoted by the country and benefit mankind" in the third section (page 42nd) is summarized as follows: "In China today, there are two people and two people who use their own high-tech achievements to go global. One is Mr. Zhou Xinghe and his straw building materials, which are solving people's housing problems. " In line with the great strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and technology.
