They forged their own success with their patience and perseverance, hard work and sweat, which is extremely difficult. The hardships are beyond our imagination, but the happiness they get from it is beyond our feelings. The ambition in their hearts constantly leads them to the other side of success.
Ordinary origin
In our country, there are many people who are engaged in ordinary posts, such as Xu Yifei who is engaged in security occupation. Although what he does is very ordinary, he has a heart to pursue his dream of calligraphy and keeps working hard for it.
Today, Xu Yifei, who is over 50 years old, was born in a remote rural area in Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province, surrounded by mountains, which is very remote. His parents are farmers, and they have been engaged in farm work all their lives. Since childhood, they have no good living conditions and their lives are very poor, but there is a saying that people are not poor.
Although the family condition is not very good, Xu Yifei's parents will try their best to provide his tuition fees under the numerous preferential systems of compulsory education, but in the end he gave up his studies because of his poor family.
Xu Yifei was forced to drop out of school after graduating from junior high school because his elderly parents could no longer do heavy farm work at home.
It is really a pity to drop out of school and go home, because his academic performance in school is very good, and he is likely to make achievements in his studies in the future, thus changing his current living conditions. However, Xu Yifei did not give up his life because of this, but began to constantly struggle for another dream in his heart, that is calligraphy.
Try to practice calligraphy.
Xu Yifei was very poor since he was a child, and he was guided by his father at an early age. In my father's view, if you master a craft, you will not starve to death in the future. In order to let his son have a way out in the future, he began to strongly support him to learn calligraphy, and Xu Yifei himself worked very hard. The dream of calligraphy was rooted in his heart since he was a child.
In order to lay a solid foundation for his son, Xu Yifei's father specially invited a local teacher who knew calligraphy to teach Xu Yifei when his son was very young. In his poor life at that time, he still gritted his teeth and saved money to buy a brush and paper ink for him to practice calligraphy, which laid an extremely important foundation for Xu Yifei's calligraphy career.
It takes time to practice calligraphy. Under the guidance of the teacher, Xu Yifei began to practice calligraphy every day. At first, he didn't want to use those brushes and ink, so he had to write on the mud with some branches. Day after day, he didn't stop. After dropping out of school, he still didn't give up his dream of calligraphy. He often starts his own calligraphy practice after finishing farm work.
When Xu Yifei was in his twenties, in order to make a living, he began to walk out of the small village where he had lived since childhood. Without a high degree, he can only go to work everywhere to find a job. He did some manual work, such as washing dishes in restaurants, digging coal in coal mines and moving bricks on construction sites. Although he is very hard and tired, he can finally support himself and his poor life in the past has improved.
Although the work is very hard, Xu Yifei still hasn't forgotten his dream of calligraphy. No matter how tired he is one day, he will always practice a few words. With some savings, he began to buy some better brushes and paper ink, and his calligraphy level is improving day by day.
In his 40 years of practicing calligraphy, with his persistence and perseverance, he almost used more than 2,000 brushes, countless pens, ink and paper.
In addition to his own efforts, Xu Yifei was appreciated by the calligrapher Tian Jingyi. After his calligraphy attainments were affirmed, Xu Yifei worshipped him as a teacher. Under the guidance of famous teachers, Xu Yifei's calligraphy attainments are getting higher and higher.
Achievements brought by calligraphy
After doing a lot of work, Xu Yifei gradually settled down and chose the security work of Lanting Calligraphy Scenic Area. Although his occupation is ordinary, it conforms to his hobby.
It is precisely because of his excellent calligraphy skills that the person in charge of the scenic spot attaches great importance to him and puts him in charge of almost all the publicity and warning signs in the scenic spot.
It was the way these slogans were written that made them completely angry. At first, tourists who saw these slogans thought they were written by professional calligraphers, but when Xu Yifei was seen by tourists, people couldn't help being surprised. A security guard can even write calligraphy, so they exchange ideas with him. Only then did people realize that he had written all the slogans in the original scenic spot.
Visitors who know the truth will make a video of Xu Yifei's calligraphy creation and upload it to the Internet. It is precisely because of this move that Xu Yifei, as a security guard, suddenly became angry, and many of his calligraphy works were seen by more and more people. People also admire this security uncle, and they like his calligraphy works more and more, and they praise him one after another.
Only then did people realize how powerful this security guard named Xu Yifei was. With his 40 years of hard work and the guidance of famous teachers, he won awards in various calligraphy competitions, such as the famous China Calligraphy Award Lanting Award, including Lanting Awards in 2002, 2006 and 2009, which proved his outstanding calligraphy attainments.
After learning that Xu Yifei had made such achievements, his colleagues around him also praised him as sweeping monk, a man with ordinary status but great strength. His dignified and rigorous but fresh and artistic calligraphy works also admire other calligraphers.
Although he has made so many achievements in the field of calligraphy and become an online celebrity, he still hasn't lost himself. Calligraphy is still just an interest in his life and he lives a stable life he wants.
From Xu Yifei's life experience, we can see that he is extraordinary. Although his background is extremely ordinary, he still succeeded with his own efforts, and his years of efforts finally paid off, and he realized his dream of life.
In my opinion, this kind of life is meaningful, and everyone with dreams in the world should work hard for it. Only in this way, even as an ordinary person, still
