A 10-Year Old Big Bloke
In
the poetic watery land of Ox Hill Town (牛山镇), of East Sea County (东海县) in Lianyungang (连云港), Jiangsu Province (江苏省), there is a 10-year old
little boy named Hu Jishan (胡继汕) who is also known as “Big
Bloke” (顶天立地的男子汉). The bloke is not really
big in size as you can tell from the
photo which illustrates a cosy moment he
shares with his mom, but what he has
accomplished is truly outstanding.
A decade ago this bloke
was born, from which his mother was
infected with rheumatic disease and years
later became totally bedridden. When the
boy started primary school at age of 6,
in order to earn enough money to treat
his mother, his father went to another
city to take a better paid job, leaving
his mom under his care.
Since then, the boy gets
up at 5 in the early morning to help his
mother with toilet duties, then he cooks
breakfast, brushes his mom’s teeth,
washes his mom’s face, feeds his mom
breakfast and feeds himself breakfast,
and then collects his bag and runs to
school, and then runs back home during
the lunch break to help his mom change
position in bed and to clean his mom’s
body and to cook lunch and to feed his
mom lunch and to feed himself lunch, and
then runs back to school for afternoon
session, and then runs back home after
school to help his mom change position in
bed and to clean his mom’s body and to
wash his mom's clothes and to cook dinner
and to feed his mom dinner and to feed
himself dinner before he sits down at his
mom’s bedside doing his homework and
telling his mom what has happened during
the day at school.
Each day his time is so
tightly scheduled that he gets no time to
play with other kits, not even during the
break time between the class sessions as
by there he is busy catching up with his
homework. As the result, his study is
always good good, while his mom forever
keeps clean clean and eats well well,
since he has learned how to do
stir-fries, that include stir-fry
scrambled egg with tomato, stir-fry
scrambled egg with bean sprouts, stir-fry
green vegetable with dry fungus to name a
few.
Fortunately, he’s not
alone. His teachers, his school principal
and his neighbours are always ready to
offer him their hands. But he is a “Big
Bloke” and, like all big blokes around
the world, he is proud of helping others
instead of receiving help; by now he is
tremendously proud that he is able to
help his mom.
能修身者方能齐家，能齐家者方能治国。
Only the one who knows how
to be a good man (no matter how young)
knows how to manage his family; only the
one who knows how to manage his family
knows how to administrate public
affairs.
Some
online comments on the news:
柏拉图式爱情:
Kids like this will be the
ones to make a nation strong and
prosperous.
这样的孩子将来必是安邦定国之栋梁之才.
承诺永在:
Kids like this shall be
the right material for working in
government when grown up, for they are
the ones who know how to help people.
这样的好孩子长大应该让他当个官，好好为我们这些百姓做点事情哦.
