There are many such heroic young people, who have the blood of their ancestors and inherit the fearless national spirit. Among them, there is such a young and famous teenager that has attracted the attention of the world. He is Lin Hao. In the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, a 9-year-old hero vowed to be admitted to the Department of Architecture of Tsinghua University in front of the whole country, hoping to build the most exquisite house so that the misfortune brought by the earthquake would not happen again. So, has this little boy's dream come true? How is he now?
The earthquake is a nightmare for many people. Sudden natural disasters have separated countless families and displaced countless people. People have seen countless shocking scenes, countless ordinary heroes who sacrificed themselves for others, and countless miracles brought by unity.
On May 12, 2008, when the earthquake happened, the children of Yuzixi Primary School in Yingxiu Town, Wenchuan County were in class, and the floor under their feet suddenly began to shake violently. The children's reading suddenly stopped, replaced by frightened screams and boos.
The headmaster stumbled outside the building with the children. When people slowly advanced, the crumbling teaching building could not bear the earthquake waves and collapsed. The ceiling and beams collapsed, and the children who had no time to react were directly buried in the ruins.
When Lin Hao, the monitor of Class 4, Grade 2, saw the students shivering in the ruins, he showed his calmness beyond his age. In order to appease the students' panic, he led them to sing together, and the tender song was like a clear spring, which calmed the students' fear and panic.
While leading the students to sing together, Lin Hao struggled desperately and pulled open the stone in front of him. Two hours later, the rescue troops arrived, heard the children's nursery rhymes, and rescued Lin Hao from the periphery first.
After successfully surviving, Lin Hao still thinks about his classmates in the ruins. Regardless of his own safety, he resolutely ran back to the ruins. After working with rescuers for several hours, Qi Xin successfully carried two classmates out of the ruins with his thin arm of only 9 years old.
After Lin Hao's behavior was reported by the media, many people were moved by the deeds of this little monitor. He was spontaneously awarded the title of "earthquake hero" by the people.
Later, Lin Hao said in an interview with the media that his dream is to be admitted to Tsinghua University and become an architect, vowing to build a house that will not collapse, so that people in the disaster area will no longer be threatened by the earthquake.
Three months after the Wenchuan earthquake, the Beijing Olympic Games officially opened. At the opening ceremony, Lin Hao and basketball player Yao Ming walked in the forefront of the team, holding a five-star red flag, and faced hundreds of millions of audiences without stage fright, people warmly welcomed the little hero.
In 2009, Lin Hao established his own foundation-Lin Hao Love Chain Foundation, which was the only charitable foundation established in the name of minors at that time.
At that time, his foundation helped many people who survived the earthquake. He was awarded the titles of "China people who were moved by the establishment of" Double Hundred "new China" and "20 teenagers who influenced the world" by Global Times.
Soon after, Lin Hao began to participate in some public welfare work because of his heroic deeds, and the response was excellent.
In 2020, a total of 12 years has passed since the disaster occurred, and the little hero's oath was not fulfilled after all. Because the earthquake-resistant deeds were widely publicized by the media and Lin Hao's lovely appearance, he became the target of many brokerage companies, who hoped to gain commercial benefits through his fame.
Lin Hao, who could not resist the temptation, chose to join the film and television performance industry. His dream of Tsinghua architecture was left behind by him and became an actor's dream. He hopes to be admitted to the Film Academy and become an actor. But the actor's road is not Ma Pingchuan. After choosing this road, Lin Hao gradually disappeared from the public's field of vision and became an unknown actor.
From the outside world, Lin Hao seems to have deviated from his life direction, but for a 9-year-old child, in the face of a huge disaster, all he can think of is how to avoid the recurrence of the disaster. Even though his later choices are far from his childhood dreams, what has not changed is that he still wants to be a person of value to society, which is enough. While we admire his heroic behavior as a child, we should also support him in his efforts towards his dreams.
