That Light Is Still On

Lin Zhiyuan, chairman of Zhiyuan Technology Group, is a philanthropist with a net worth of tens of billions. At the Entrepreneur of the Year Award Ceremony, he did not talk about the business landscape, but told a story about a lamp. Thirty years ago, he was the most naughty left-behind child deep in Daqingshan. His parents went south to work, and he and his blind grandmother depended on each other. They stole, skipped school and got into fights. He was a wild boy that the villagers shook their heads and sighed. Until that rainy night, he smashed the only glass window of the village primary school and was blocked in the corner by the new support teacher Shen Qiuhe. She did not report him, but handed him a bowl of hot ginger soup: A broken window can be repaired, but a broken heart leaks. In the next twelve years, Teacher Shen used a kerosene lamp to illuminate the entire life of a lost boy. She taught him the first word, kindness is the right to choose; studying is not to escape from the mountains, but to have the ability to come back and change the mountains. This is a story about gratitude, inheritance and correct values. It tells us: The most noble person in life is often the person who still believes that you can shine when you are at your darkest.
