Chinese President Xi Jinping once said, “Greatness is forged in the ordinary. Heroes come from the people.” Every year there are ordinary people spreading positive energy and touching our hearts.
On March 3, 2021 Annual People Award（感动中国年度人物）Ceremony was held on CCTV. 10 role models were on the list. Let’s take a look at one of them—Zhu Yanfu.
In 2021, audiences were impressed by the soldiers in The Battle at Lake Changjin（《长津湖》）. Zhu Yanfu was one of the real soldiers. In freezing cold, Zhu, 17 years old then, fought against the US army at Lake Changjin in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. After endless bombing（轰炸）, Zhu ________all his fellow soldiers and was seriously injured. After 93 days of treatment and operations, Zhu lost his hands, left eye and both legs below the knees.
Even so, Zhu never stopped giving himself to his country. In 1956, he returned to his mountain village of Zibo, Shandong. Fitted with artificial limbs（义肢） , Zhu became secretary of the village party branch（党支部）in 1957. After that, he worked hard to help villagers out of poverty.
Knowing that the best way to end poverty was through education, in 1957 Zhu used all his savings to open a reading room. Later he set up the first evening school in the village.
At the same time, he also encouraged villagers to dig three wells in the mountain and to create 7. 3 hectares of farmland. On this land, Zhu led the villagers to plant apples and Sichuan pepper. With these fruits and vegetables selling in different parts of the country, the villagers have made more money for the past 25 years. He said, “There are two ways to spend life. One is to rot（腐烂） , while the other is to burn. I prefer to burn.”
