作为一个出生在贫困中的孩子，他很早就理解了生活的艰辛。

原文英文

As a child born into poverty, he understood early on the hardships his mother faced in raising him alone. Being a sensible child, he studied extremely hard and achieved excellent grades.

After graduating from junior high school, he was admitted to a key middle school in the city. Overjoyed, his mother sold several long-haired rabbits, over a dozen egg-laying hens, and even two growing pigs from their home.

Villagers tried to dissuade her, believing it was a great loss to sell livestock that could continue to generate income. However, the mother simply pointed to her son and then to her heart, using gestures to tell her well-meaning relatives that the loss was worth it; she had to accompany her son to the city for school, for he was her whole world.

Once in the city, she rented a small room near the school and found work in a local restaurant.

Her way of finding work was quite simple. She would point to the noodles being eaten by other customers, order a bowl, and after paying, she wouldn't leave. Instead, she would help wipe tables, sweep the floor, and clear dishes, working diligently until late at night. The next day, she would return. The restaurant proprietress was a kind woman; whenever the mother tried to pay for her noodles, the woman would refuse. The mother would bow deeply in gratitude and, in response, work even harder than before.
