There is a job in Chongqing: they carry a round stick about one meter on their shoulders, and nylon ropes are often tied to both ends of the stick. They often squat in the street, waiting for the store that needs to carry goods to send them to work. Because of the mountain roads in Chongqing, the "great army" is very strong. Climbing up the mountain, shopkeepers often use "sticks" to carry dozens or even hundreds of kilograms of goods. They rely on their strong bodies to find jobs in the street. Sticks need strength and skill. When carrying goods, it is often necessary to use ten fingers to firmly grasp the woven bag containing the goods and suddenly carry the goods on the shoulders.
At first, Ran only regarded "awesome" as a part-time job in his spare time, and still took farming at home as his main source of income. However, with the birth of children, the economic pressure on families is increasing. In order to give children a better growth environment, and to earn more money and improve the family's economic conditions, Ran and his wife discussed "greatness" as their main occupation.
Ran and his wife gave up their farmland and rented a small house of less than 20 square meters in Chongqing together. While taking care of the children, his wife is responsible for the housework at home. The house is dark and damp. Even in the daytime, you need to turn on the light to see the furnishings in the house. A family of three lives in it, which is very congested.
Jean Guang Guang picked up a stick and walked into the street with his workmates. Most sticks are bare at the waist and have no tops. Because of the large friction between the goods and the skin, it is not easy to fall apart when handling.
After work, my wife will also go out to set up stalls to shine shoes, and sometimes she will go to restaurants to do odd jobs such as serving dishes and washing dishes. Chongqing has many mountains, slopes and steps, which provide unique astronomical conditions for the development of the army, but their work is also very hard, and they often need to transport goods by hard work. A pair of good legs and a good waist are the necessary conditions for this profession.
Jean Guang Guang joined the army. Like other workers, he climbed the hill, shouldered a hundred kilograms of goods and shouldered the burden of this small family. In order to find a job, he often shuttles to major shopping malls in Chongqing, and sometimes he is out of breath. In order to earn more money, he seldom takes a rest every year. As long as he rests in the shopping mall during the Spring Festival, he will be forced to take a few days off.
And that photo, which is widely circulated on the Internet, is the ordinary daily work of a college student. He has a cigarette in his mouth, his son in his right hand, and heavy goods on his shoulders to prevent them from falling.
After this photo was released by the media, it attracted many people's attention and sighs. The media named it "One China Day". CCTV also specially interviewed Ran for this photo, telling the story behind the photo from the crowd.
It turns out that in order to subsidize the family, Ran's wife has to go out to work during the day, and sometimes she is too busy to take care of the children, so let Ran see that her work place and time are more casual and comfortable.
This photo shows Ran holding the hand of his 3-year-old son, Ran Junchao, carrying goods down the steps and delivering goods to the store.
Because of the popularity of this photo, the Ranguang family has also attracted the attention of the media and more and more people, and there are some other job opportunities in front of the Ranguang family.
With the popularity on TV, many stores and employers are familiar with Ran, so the business of delivering goods to him has gradually increased, and the income of Ran's family has gradually increased.
Ran once said in an interview with the media that I was really confused at that time. I'm not a good speculator. I try to make money just for their small family to live better.
After becoming popular, many interests invited him, but behind the dark clouds, he still chose to continue his own cost route or pick up a stick to continue to help people deliver goods.
No matter what kind of thinking Ran Guangguang had, he finally chose the cost route. This kind of behavior is also admirable. Under the fame and fortune, a few people can resist the temptation to radical a hard and simple heart.
Perhaps at that time, if Ran Guangguang chose to accept those invitations, his life would be better. He doesn't need to sell his strength and sweat to make money, but he may be trapped by fame and fortune and accomplish nothing. Instead, it sets a bad example for children, which is not conducive to their growth.
In 2020, some media visited the Ran Guangguang family again. He is still making great achievements, and his son Ran Junchao has become a junior high school student with excellent academic performance, serving as the monitor and class representative in the class.
Influenced by his father, Ran Junchao is also diligent and capable in life. He knows his father's hard work very well, often helps his parents cook, and sometimes uses the weekend break to carry goods for Ran Guangguang to give his father a rest.
Ran Junchao did not feel inferior because of his father's occupation. On the contrary, he is pessimistic, confident and lively, loves to communicate with his classmates and often boasts about his father in class. He prides himself on his diligence, pragmatism and pessimism.
Influenced by his parents, Ran Junchao often helps other uncles and aunts in the market where his father works and provides them with some help. This small family, relying on the hard work of Ran for decades, relying on the hard work of the mother and relying on obedient and sensible children, is getting happier and happier.
As usual, their family has their own house in Chongqing, and they are no longer crowded in a small rental house of 20 square meters. Although the house is not big, it is enough for the family to stay together.
In order to buy a house, the husband and wife took out most of their savings over the years and borrowed some money from relatives and friends. In order to pay off the debt as soon as possible, Jean Guang Guang worked harder. He often goes out to carry goods early in the morning. Every day, the weight of the goods he carries ranges from tens of kilograms to hundreds of kilograms. Regardless of the weight and size of the goods, he needs to deliver them to the consignee on time.
Ran Guangguang often has no time to have breakfast, so he started a busy day, carrying a heavy woven bag and crossing the streets of the city. It seems that he is striding under his feet, but in fact, the goods are hundreds of kilograms.
Because of carrying goods all the year round, Ran also fell behind the shortcomings of backache and numbness in his legs. Carrying a bag of goods, sometimes a few pieces, sometimes a dozen pieces, does not earn much. Therefore, Ran doesn't want to go to a big hospital for medical treatment and hospitalization, and the real pain is intense. He went to a small clinic near his home for physical therapy. Before he recovered, he went into battle shirtless again.
Although their families are not very rich today, and there is still a big gap between their material conditions and those with superior natural conditions, their level of life and death has also been greatly improved because of their efforts and hard work.
My wife no longer goes out to do odd jobs, but rents a shop near her home. Usually selling snacks such as candy and daily necessities, my son is also very sensible and filial.
Hard work can make you rich. Even if heavy goods bend Ran Guang's back, they can't crush his and his family's love for life and yearning for happiness. Like countless ordinary people in China, they are struggling with their own hands.
We believe that even without a higher diploma and superior family conditions, the Ran family can live a happy life through their own efforts.
