21 years later, he "retrieved" his father

One day in May 2001, 10 -year -old Zhang Yunfei was received by his uncle's house. A house was serious. His mother told him that his father could never come back. At that time, he didn't understand what death was. He ran to the alley where his father often took him in and out, and tried to find his father, "You can't find it, I can find it."

Twenty -one years later, 31 -year -old Zhang Yunfei, also the father of a 3 -year -old child, became a graduate student and came to his father's alma mater, China University of Geosciences (Wuhan). After finishing the enrollment procedures, he held the flowers in front of him. In front of the statue of Zhang Guoqi on the campus, he bowed solemnly, and he finally "reunited" with his father.

Avoid- "Are you worthy of your dad?"

Zhang Guoqi is a graduate of the Department of Hydrological at the Department of Hydrological of the Department of Hydrogenation of Wuhan Geological University. That year, in order to "let fellow villagers eat sweet water", he gave up the job opportunities of the provincial government, and chose to go back to Lingchuan County, Jincheng City, Shanxi Province, and be an engineering and technical personnel in the County Water Affairs Bureau. Dis the well and find water. In ordinary jobs, he tried his best to help local folks to solve the problem of water eating difficulties. It was more than 10 years.

On May 15, 2001, when he and his colleagues exploited under the well, he encountered the wall of the well. Leslie Cheung is to protect his colleagues and die at the age of 33. After Zhang Guoqi died, the Shanxi Water Conservancy System called on cadres and employees to learn from him. As an alma mater, China University of Geosciences (Wuhan), collected Zhang Guoqi as a "excellent graduate", and also specially formed the "Zhang Guoqi Class" and its party branch to recognize his valuable spirit of dedication to the grassroots and serve his hometown. The new era ecological environmental protection iron army with "redness and energy".

That year, Zhang Yunfei was just 10 years old. "I didn't know what death was at that time, I just felt that the air pressure at home was very low, and everyone was particularly bad." The young Zhang Yunfei did not understand what "Dad can never come back". In this place, adults don't know.

Until the day and night in junior high school, "I don't know what, wake up in the middle of the night, and suddenly understands that my father is really gone, hiding in the quilt and crying."

For Zhang Yunfei, dad is not there, and it is everywhere. The locals knew that his father's heroic deeds were transferred to him, and he was "polite" to him. The students were often educated to "let him". He made a mistake with his classmates, and the teacher criticized other children: "Why is it so unknown?" And would say to him, "Are you worthy of your dad?"

"When I was a kid, my psychological tolerance was weak, and I felt stressful. I thought of other classmates. Wrong is wrong, right, not specialization." At that time, Zhang Yunfei would deliberately avoid, did not take the initiative to mention his father, and did not want others to others. Speaking, "I don't want to always be in the shadow of my father."

Similar -found the shadow of my dad on myself

After his father left, his mother pulled Zhang Yunfei and grew up. Although hard, Xiaojia's life is quite stable. Mom often talks about the past, Zhang Yunfei also put together her father's look a little bit.

Leslie Cheung was upright. Someone came to the house with a gift and asked for a business. He never received it. Once someone came to give gifts, the mother was not good at talking, and things were placed at home. "Dad came back and sent a lot of fire and returned things back."

Personality will also be inherited, and Zhang Yunfei is very "selfless". When he was in elementary school, he served as a member of the moral education in the class and was responsible for discipline. Which classmate committed the class rules and deducted points. "I am very strict. I don't have the scores for myself. My two best friends are very low in each score."

Leslie Cheung loves to read books, learns water conservancy, but loves to read books in history, geography, astronomy, etc., especially to read Jin Yong martial arts. "He loves Xiao Feng in" The Eight Dragons ", obsessed with the account book, and filled my name with‘ Zhang Xiaofeng ’. In fact, I have never called this name at all." Zhang Yunfei said with a smile.

Under the influence of Dad, Zhang Yunfei is also interested in geography and geology. Although he reads the sciences in high school, his geographical performance is particularly good. After the college entrance examination, he was admitted to the geographical information system of a university in Yunnan. After graduating, he also returned to work in Jincheng, Shanxi.

Find -in confusion, his father "fingers" for him

"I was too young at that time, not as clear as my father's goal. I actually didn't think about what I wanted to do, and I went back to the countryside like this." For 8 years, Zhang Yunfei changed his job several times, did surveying and mapping, and had done indoor indoor. Decoration design, "I want to try everything, but they don't do it long."

In those years of dry testing, it often needs to work in the wild for a long time. The winter in the north is particularly cold. He and his colleagues staying in the wild mountains in the wild mountains for half a month. During the daytime surveying and drawing, he did not complain at night. "This is a point with my father. I am an honest person in the eyes of everyone. Do a good job of work and do what you think is right."

Once, he and his colleagues worked on the cliff, underneath the abyss, and they walked on the tip of the stone. At that moment, he was a little stubborn, and suddenly remembered that his father took him the last time he took him to Taishan. At that time, Zhang Yunfei was only 9 years old. Zhang Guoqi encouraged: The man must be strong and perseverance. "I suddenly understood why Dad saved people at that moment, because it was what he thought to do."

In 2019, Zhang Yunfei got married. In the same year, her daughter was born. "Married to become a family, and became a father, and suddenly found that it can no longer be" wandering '. "

In 2021, Zhang Guoqi sacrificed the 20th anniversary. In the Qingming Festival of the year, the School of Environment of China University of Geosciences (Wuhan) invited Zhang Yunfei to visit and discuss in school. Although in 2007, when the statue was completed, he had come to high school with his mother once, but he did not feel too much at the time, and even felt that "this statue has lost his father." This time, he hugged his wife and hugged his daughter. Before his father's sculpture, a father faced another father, with a wave of ups and downs in his heart.

"I walked around the campus that Dad had lived and chatted with the teachers and classmates. It was very touched. For the first time, I felt that this was what I wanted." Zhang Yunfei looked at her daughter and made a decision immediately: I want to continue reading If you want to take the postgraduate entrance examination, take your father's alma mater.

He asked the teachers of the ground and found that his undergraduate majors were closely related to the hydrogenics read by his father. "It feels like this is the fate, my father pointed to me."

Now that the postgraduate competition is fierce, and after many years of college graduation, it is not easy for Zhang Yunfei to re -hold the book review. With the support of his family, he resigned and prepared for the exam.

Although geology and hydrogenics are related, it is also difficult to cross the interdisciplinary postgraduate entrance examination. In order to support her husband's postgraduate entrance examination, the wife took the child to live in her mother's house for a year, only to allow her husband to have a quiet environment for the examination.

"In addition to eating and sleeping every day, I can almost memorize it." Zhang Yunfei said that he wanted to give up, but his family support supported him to continue learning.

When it is difficult to persist, do you think of your father? He smiled and said that he wouldn't think of it, because he was always in my mind.

Reunion -become a member of the "Zhang Guoqi Class"

In July of this year, the teacher and student representatives of the "Zhang Guoqi Class" of the School of Environment of the University of Earth University went to Shanxi and sent the admission notice to Zhang Yunfei's hands. He finally became the "friend" of his father.

On the morning of September 2nd, Zhang Yunfei reported to the future city campus. He a few lunches in a hurry at noon, and took the school bus to the Nanshan Campus at 12:30. At 1:30 pm, he held the bouquet and came to his father's statue and bowed deeply.

Facing the familiar and unfamiliar faces again, Zhang Yunfei blushed and stood there without movement for a long time. The reporter from the Yangtze River Daily asked him what he was thinking. He said several times, but did not say a word.

"I am very emotional, I came to my son two times before, this time I came to alumni." After a while, he said.

For teachers and students from the School of Economics, the name Zhang Guoqi is more familiar. Every freshman who reports to receive a book -entitled "Eternal Children's Feelings, strive to be the Pioneer of the Times", recorded the collection of Zhang Guoqi and the "Zhang Guoqi Class" event.

Wang Haifeng, deputy secretary of the Party Committee of the School of Environment, introduced that "Zhang Guoqi Class" was established in 2017. It is not a natural class, but the "collective referred to" of the college party members, members and volunteers. Since its establishment, teachers and students have carried out various social practice and volunteer services. More than 100 college student volunteers have helped science and education poverty alleviation in Lingchuan, Shanxi Lingchuan, Jilin Baicheng, Hubei Enshi, Hunan Hengyang, Chu Xiong, Yunnan, Qinghai Haibei and other places.

As a party member, Zhang Yunfei will also become a member of the "Zhang Guoqi class" after entering the school. In fact, on the day of the report on September 2nd, Zhang Yunfei and his roommate worked on the red vest and reported to volunteers at the college.

Zhang Yunfei once fantasized when he was young, just go to a place where everyone doesn't know himself. After walking around, he returned to a environment where everyone knew him.

"For me, Dad is a very precious part of life and the guide of my life. I am very similar to him, I am not like him, I chase his footsteps, or I can live my own life." Talking about it In the future plan, Zhang Yunfei said that what jobs do after graduation, they must be explored slowly, but they must be serious and solidly like their father. At the end of the interview, the counselor told Zhang Yunfei that the new student enrolled to watch the movie "Red Mountain Rain" -the movie adapted from his father's finding water. Plot.
