Story 1: Brave: The photo of grandma who loves birds bravely and has dreams condenses the most beautiful moment of wild birds. The camera recorded the moment when Taiwan blue magpie fluttered its wings and flew, and recorded the king-like breath of the blue-bellied pheasant in the foggy forest. There are many bird photographers in Taiwan Province Province, but there is only one grandmother photographer. She is Qiu, petite and nearly seventy years old. Energetic, she always wears camouflage clothes and carries a cannon camera weighing more than 20 kilograms up and down the mountain to chase birds. She not only traveled all over Taiwan Province Province, but also traveled across the ocean to shoot birds in India, Sri Lanka, Japan and Canada. She generously donated her photos to environmental organizations to make a monthly calendar charity sale. In addition, Qiu has a wish in his heart: shoot all the birds in Taiwan and let the school download them for free for education.
Half-life poverty and toil
Qiu was born in a poor family. His mother died when he was five years old, and his father shouldered the burden of raising five children. ? I remember crying when I was a child, and my second brother held me to see swallows under the eaves or green embroidered eyes nesting. ? Qiu said to him. Although I didn't know what bird it was at that time, the seeds of loving nature were deeply buried in my heart as early as unconsciously. However, in that era of struggle for life, she had no right to dream.
Qiu was adopted as a daughter when she was 6 years old, and she couldn't even afford a canvas bag when she was studying. Sometimes I dream of going to school with my bag on my back. I was so happy, but I woke up and found myself holding a pillow. ? She didn't graduate from primary school, and she became an apprentice in photography when she was a teenager. Although I learned the skills of film retouching, I was busy sweeping the floor and cooking for the master most of the time, and never had a chance to get in touch with the camera.
After marriage, Qiu once read a newspaper and found a beauty salon for sale, so he opened it with her husband. Fortunately, the business in the beauty salon is booming, and then the children are busy for many years. Although Qiu Luzhulan improved her family planning and established a happy family, she also made her body tired and caused duodenal bleeding. Finally, Qiu decided to retire and end the beauty salon she had run for 20 years.
Qiu, who has been spinning like a top for most of his life, has no time of his own until now. In addition to taking care of housework and helping to take care of her grandson, in order to make up for her lack of study, she went back to junior high school to make up lessons and volunteered in the library. In her spare time, she looked through magazines and saw beautiful pictures. An idea flashed through her mind: If only I could take pictures or draw pictures.
By chance, Qiu learned that the community college had set up a digital photography course, which was totally a layman. She hesitated at first, but with the encouragement of her family, she signed up and began to learn the most basic camera operation. Once, Qiu went for a walk on the mountain near his home and met an insect on the mountain road. He wants to take a picture with his camera, but he can't take it clearly because of the equipment. ? After careful observation for the first time, I found that insects that I didn't pay attention to at ordinary times were so beautiful and really touching. ? Qiu said to him.
A bug inspired Qiu's passion for nature photography, and later he wanted to photograph birds. In order to film the moment when the little egret spreads her wings, she waits for hours in the bird habitat every day. In order to photograph colorful birds nesting, she waited for a month to climb the mountain, and everyone who has been climbing the mountain knows her. Someone couldn't bear to watch an old lady stand for so long and took the initiative to move a chair for her.
Shooting is a pleasure.
Qiu Mingyuan, a son who also likes nature and photography, knows that his mother wants to shoot birds, and there is nothing he can do. Hey? Because bird hunting is not only heavy in equipment, but also hard in process, it takes a lot of trouble to find birds, and it also bears the scorching sun in the wild; In order to take good photos, we must consider the light and composition. Qiu Mingyuan suggested that his mother shoot plants or insects, but Qiu was unmoved. Finally, Qiu Mingyuan had to help her solve the equipment problem. At first, it was difficult for her to connect the bird-watching telescope to the camera. Finally, she simply spent hundreds of thousands of NT dollars to equip her with professional equipment.
Qiu's husband was also infected. As soon as the couple are free, they take their cameras and tripods up the mountain and into the sea. Qiu's ears are not good, so Mr. Qiu acts as her ears and listens to birds for her. She even recorded the first rare lost bird recorded in Taiwan Province province? Brown Meishan rock owl? And shocked the birdwatching community in Taiwan Province Province. What is the happiest thing about shooting birds in autumn? She smiled happily. The bird is really cute, and every movement is so cute. ?
Qiu has recorded more than 300 species of birds so far, and compiled his works into a monthly calendar, which was provided to environmental protection groups such as the Ecological Work Development Foundation for charity sale. She doesn't care about copyright and hopes to provide photos to the school as teaching materials for free. Speaking of these good things, Qiu smiled shyly and said modestly, I am only responsible for shooting birds. My son helped me, not me. ? But I have to add,? It is a good thing for school children to get in touch with nature, because children who like nature will never go bad. ?
The story of grandma who loves birds tells us: as long as there is a dream, it is never too late to pursue it; Small people can achieve extraordinary things as long as they have the heart.
Story 2 about Braveness: Brave Heart A taxi crashed into a roadside guardrail, deformed and caught fire.
The two brothers happened to witness this scene when they were out on business. When the two brothers flew past, the fire burned from the passenger seat to the back seat, and the driver was knocked unconscious.
Without a moment's hesitation, the two brothers shouted their songs in unison: One, two? I tried to open the door, but it wouldn't budge. The two brothers tried to pull the driver out of the window again, but the stuck driver couldn't.
Just when they thought the driver was hopeless and ready to leave, the driver suddenly spoke. Dude, thank you. The car may explode soon, so leave me alone.
Let's go! ? As soon as he finished speaking, his head tilted to one side. The driver can still talk. How can the two brothers let him go?
The two brothers comforted each other: Brother, please be patient. We'll get you out. ? The fire is getting bigger and bigger, the car body is hot, and the smoke inside the car is filled with smoke. It may explode at any time, maybe 2 minutes, 1 minute, or even 20 seconds, 10 second.
My brother thinks the situation is not good and wants him to go first. But the younger brother ignored the younger brother. He knows his brother's temperament: if the driver is not rescued, he will never give up halfway.
My brother wants to tell my brother to leave. But time doesn't allow him to shirk.
So my brother climbed into the cab first. The moment my brother got on the bus, he blamed himself for not getting on the bus before his brother.
But now, he can only stop passers-by from approaching under the car and cooperate with his brother.
The flame is approaching the fuel tank. Just then, the two brothers felt that they suddenly had a pair of hands around them. A young man ignored his brother's warning and joined in. Desperate brothers, there is hope in their hearts and more strength in their hands.
1 minute, 2 minutes, three young people finally dragged the driver out of the car.
They put the driver on the sidewalk, and before the three of them could catch their breath, there was an explosion behind them.
Three people looking back, behind is debris and smoke.
At this point, they haven't stood on the sidewalk for 10 seconds! The thrilling rescue process took less than 10 minutes. What makes sense is that people ask them afterwards. Someone asked the young people who joined later:? The two brothers told passers-by not to approach. Why are you so brave? The young man replied, the two brothers are in danger, but they told us not to go near them. Do you think I can listen to them and help them? The fire is burning towards the fuel tank. Have you ever thought about running?
The brother replied:? The driver and my brother are in the car. Can I run?
Someone asked his brother: Your brother asked you to go, why didn't you go?
The younger brother replied:? There is a living person in the car, and my brother hasn't left yet. Can I move my feet?
Someone asked the taxi driver: You didn't say help me when you woke up. Do you know what you said?
The driver said:? I see. I was touched when I felt someone was saving me. I think I must express my gratitude to those who saved me before I died. I must remind them that the car will explode and keep them away from danger as soon as possible?
Now, you should understand these brave hearts, right? In each of them, there is a considerate heart.
It turns out. Courage means thinking of others in times of crisis.
Story 3 about bravery: Be brave for your son. No matter how stupid your father is, he will instantly become extremely brave for his son. No matter how mediocre a father is, he is also a mountain standing behind his son!
In Zhou Tong's eyes, his father is both boring and mediocre.
He doesn't remember his father doing anything that can be called a big move, but he is trivial and cautious everywhere. For example, when he was in the third grade, his father, who had stopped sending him to school from junior high school, began to play his role again because several bad boys prevented students from robbing money a few days before the start of school. Bodyguard? Every morning, rain or shine, I followed him to the school gate. It's another year, as if he will always be a child without self-protection ability. At that time, he was taller than his father For this reason, he was laughed at by his classmates, so he felt very embarrassed.
For example, when he started a trading company, his father was on tenterhooks every day, as if he were doing a very dangerous thing, giving him thousands of instructions, even taking into account such a small problem as drinking a cup for him. On the opening day of the company, someone sent him a plaque, a flower basket and other gifts to congratulate him. My father actually sent a pack of paper clips, saying that he was rummaging through his desk and felt that everything was complete except this special document. A friend teased his father. He's just a? Mom? .
Maybe it's because it's too mediocre. My father has been busy in the factory for decades. Not only has he done nothing, but he hasn't even made a bosom friend. After my father retired, he not only watered the flowers and fed the birds every day, but also sat on the sofa watching TV and taking a nap, as if he had no thoughts at all. Occasionally, people come home to chat, and my father basically listens to others, rarely interrupting or arguing. Obviously, that's because my father has no opinion of his own at all.
In his heart, Zhou Tong looked down on his father. He didn't want to be as mediocre as his father, so he vowed to do something.
Companies in Zhou Tong are mainly engaged in foreign trade. In the first two years, everything went smoothly, and the business and scale of the company gradually expanded, so Zhou Tong was full of ambition. However, the good times did not last long. With the outbreak of the global financial crisis, orders began to drop sharply, making it difficult for companies to operate. In order to cope with the crisis, Zhou Tong had to take measures such as layoffs and spending cuts, but spending cuts could not open up new sources, which also made employees panic. There is a depressing atmosphere in the company. Facing the worsening situation, Zhou Tong's heart is like a heavy stone. He is depressed and helpless.
That night, my father called and said that my mother had wrapped his favorite sauerkraut, jiaozi, and asked him to go home for dinner. When Zhou Tong came home, his father asked about the company, which made him sigh. Jiaozi felt particularly sour when he ate it.
Father hesitated several times. When he was ready to leave after dinner, his father finally seemed to get up the courage and said, let me go to the company to do something. What can you do? Zhou Tong asked dismissively. My father was speechless and rubbed his hands awkwardly. My father is nothing more than a bicycle mechanic.
The next morning, Zhou Tong came to the company lazily. As soon as he set foot on the floor where the company was located, he immediately felt a fresh air. I saw that the floor of the corridor had been polished and the waste paper boxes piled in the corner had been cleaned up. When he walked into the office, the neat tables and chairs made him feel brand-new.
Due to the business depression, employees have no mind to take care of their working environment. Some people are too lazy to clear the table for a few days, and their feet are even more messy. Zhou Tong understood the employees' feelings, so he turned a blind eye to them. What happened today? Who suddenly became diligent? Before he could ask, several employees gathered around and scolded him, saying that he shouldn't let his old father come to the company to clean up, which made them feel ashamed and humiliated. Some people even ask if this is your new trick to test or inspire us. Zhou Tong was at a loss for a long time, and then his face burned.
He found his father in the bathroom. Father put a hand on his waist to wash the mop, and his gray hair was soaked with sweat. Zhou Tong complained bitterly that his father should not be so tired. My father wiped his sweat and said, I really can't help you, I can only make some stupid efforts. ? Zhou Tong felt that his father was redundant: What's the point of this help? I can hire a cleaner at will, and it is very cheap. ? Father glanced at him: silly son, I am much more useful than a cleaner. I did this not only to show my support for you, but also to give you confidence and let you know that the company can't collapse! ?
Zhou Tong disagreed with his father. It's a joke that the boss's father can help the boss inspire the confidence of his employees by cleaning once!
However, when Zhou Tong came to the company the next day, he saw a scene that surprised him. Seeing employees mopping the floor and wiping the table, I was in full swing. Seeing his surprised expression, the employees were very proud. One of them said that Zhou Tong was deeply moved by this reason. The old man just came to give us an inspirational lesson yesterday. He is not sweeping the floor, but clearly sweeping the dust from our hearts! The old man is one of the most impatient people when the company is in recession, but he looks so optimistic and calm. On the other hand, we are preoccupied, lazy and impatient these days, which is really shameful! He encouraged us. We can't let him down and look down on him. We should also cheer up!
At this point, Zhou Tong finally understood his father's good intentions. Is his father helping him with the simplest emotions and actions, or does he use it the most? Stupid? A way to inject vitality into him and his employees, and what they need most now is this open-minded attitude.
The financial crisis is still spreading. Soon, Zhou Tong encountered greater difficulties, and the liquidity dried up, which made the company's business almost impossible to operate. Just then, the company received an order from Thailand. Although the order volume is small, it is the biggest business the company has received since the outbreak of the financial crisis. However, in the face of this business that can revive the company, Zhou Tong has been unable to assemble goods. Time is not allowed to borrow money from the bank, so he has to borrow money from relatives and friends.
He turned to his old friend Zhang Ran first. Zhang Ran's father is a title belt in the city government? Dragon? Before graduating from college, Zhang Ran had planned a coal wholesale company for him. Now, in all kinds of relationships? Care? At present, companies in Zhang Ran have formed a monopoly in a considerable scope. However,? Iron buddy? When Zhang Ran heard that he wanted to borrow money, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared. After thinking for a long time, he gave a lot of reasons for not having money. Zhou Tong felt a pang of sadness from the bottom of his heart.
In addition to Zhang Ran, Zhou Tong can no longer find any powerful relatives and friends. Although he borrowed several places, the result was just a drop in the bucket.
The deadline for signing contracts with Thai customers is only the last day, and there is still a funding gap of nearly one million yuan, so Zhou Tong has to give up that business. Although he knew it might mean giving up the last straw to save the company from going ashore, he had no choice.
When my father hurried into the office, he was discussing with his men what euphemistic way to apologize to Thai customers. Father handed him a bank card and said with a smug smile on his face, there are 970 thousand on the card, so you should sign a contract with others quickly! ? Zhou Tong asked in surprise where he got the money. Father said:? I sold the house. In a hurry, buyers take the opportunity to reduce prices, otherwise they can sell more money. But as long as it's enough for you ? Zhou Tong's heart suddenly felt sad. He asked: Where do you live with your mother after selling the house? Father said airily. You don't have to worry about that. I have rented a house. Very cheap. ? Zhou Tong sighed on his back. If no one else was present, his tears would surely fall.
Father helped Zhou Tong out of trouble with the money from selling his house, which gave him a precious breathing space. With the easing of the financial crisis, companies in Zhou Tong gradually recovered their vitality.
