    Recently, some media released a video of Zhang Guimei, the principal of Huaping Girls' High School, refusing donations from his full-time wife, which caused great controversy.  In the video, Zhang Guimei directly told the donor who graduated from Huaping Girls' High School and is now a full-time wife to "get out" and refused to accept the donation.

    The controversy on the Internet can be divided into two categories. Supporters believe that Zhang Guimei is using her life to help poor girls walk out of the mountains, intending to train them into women with independent personalities, while the dependent life of a "full-time wife" is obviously contrary to  This concept; opponents make a fuss about the self-worth of "full-time wives", thinking that how to choose is their own right, and "full-time wives" also have their value connotations, and some people even think that is extremely radical feminist speech.

    Before expressing an opinion on a matter, you must first understand its background information.  The place involved here is the mountain of poverty, material poverty, ideological poverty, and spiritual poverty.  The fate of the girls here is too bitter. They disappear from school quietly while they are reading.  The family has no money for them to study, and their fate is either to get married, or go out to work to reduce the burden on the family, and some even support the boy in the family to continue studying.

    In order to change the fate of these girls, Zhang Guimei is "burning" her life.  She first "fished" the girls who had dropped out of school, and promised their parents that they would be free of tuition and living expenses.  Then there is the problem of money. She spends almost all her wages on supporting female students.  In order to allow more girls in the mountains to change their destiny through knowledge, she came up with the idea of ??establishing a free girls' high school.  In order to obtain funds for the establishment of the school, she took the honorary certificate and looked for fundraisers everywhere, but was mistaken for a liar; when she participated in the National Two Sessions, she invested all her money in fundraising and funding for female students, and finally wore  Not even a pair of ripped pants.  The hard work paid off in the end, and a report "I have a dream" touched countless people, and she finally raised the funds to establish the first high school for girls in the country.  After the Huaping Girls High School was completed, she dragged her seriously ill body and took the teacher and the female students who wanted to fly out of the mountains to embark on a crazy journey of study, sending female students from one world after another to the impoverished mountains.

    In 2011, Huaping Girls¡¯ High School¡¯s first batch of students took the college entrance examination, 69 undergraduates passed the college entrance examination, and the overall pass rate was 100%; in the 2019 college entrance examination, Huaping Girls¡¯ High School had 118 graduates, nearly 83% passed the undergraduate course, ranking first in Lijiang City; in 2020  , under the epidemic situation, Huaping's undergraduate enrollment rate can still be as high as 94.3%.  Since the establishment of the school, a total of 1,804 girls have left poverty-stricken mountain villages and entered universities through Huaping.  In the impoverished mountains with backward educational resources and extremely weak student foundation, such achievements can be called a miracle.  It is Zhang Guimei who is creating such a miracle and changing the fate of the girls in the mountains.

    What she wants to change is not only material poverty, but also ideological and spiritual poverty.  She not only wants female students to walk out of the mountains from a physical distance, but also to go out spiritually, get rid of humble and poor thoughts, and become a truly independent and self-reliant woman, who is mentally strong enough to fight against fate and strive to control her own destiny  .  The school motto of Huaping Girls¡¯ High School fully embodies her teaching purpose:

    I was born to be a mountain, not a stream. I want to look down on the mediocre ravines from the top of the peaks.

    I was born an outstanding man, not a worthless one. I stand on the shoulders of great men and despise humble cowards.

    What an arrogant declaration!  This is Zhang Guimei's earnest expectation for the female students, and it is her belief that she really wants to teach them and let them benefit from it for a lifetime.

    However, the female student who graduated from Huaping came back to donate as a "full-time wife". Although she was out of the good intentions of her alma mater, she violated the school's mission and did not learn what Zhang Guimei really wanted to teach them.  belief.  From this perspective, she did not really graduate from Huaping.

    Female students who were rejected for donating money because they came back as "full-time wives" are not alone. Some female students confessed to the media that seeing this trending search seemed to see themselves, and they had been rejected because of this, but they all bluntly said  Support Principal Zhang, and said that they did not meet her requirements.

    Therefore, this is not a speech about the value of a "full-time wife", nor a radical speech about "women's rights". This is the belief that a life-burning principal wants to pass on to the students: independence, self-improvement, and destiny in their own hands.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
