修车哥:小人物也有春天

从试图结束自己生命的打工者,到成为备受学生尊敬的“修车哥”,清华大学修车师傅任玉华在这个校园里追寻着自己的理想,同时也用自己的故事感动着身边的人。

On a chilly day, a man wearing a dirty glove was repairing a bicycle chain in front of his repair shop at Tsinghua University.

Compared to the surrounding buildings of China’s top university, his 3?鄄square?鄄meter shop looks quite small and shabby. But the owner shows his pride, saying, “I can repair bicycles for students. Furthermore, with the experience and money I make here, I can manufacture my own bicycles with lower price but superior quality in the future.省略.

Ren Yuhua, 29 years old, left his village in Zhangjiakou, Hebei province 12 years ago after graduating from middle school.

“I decided to work to support my poor family,” Ren said. “I went to Beijing alone without hesitation and found a temporary shelter with someone from my hometown who was working in a canteen in Tsinghua University.”

He had tried many odd jobs only to find his big city dream hard to realize.

He once worked as a porter at a construction site but gave up two days afterwards. And then he was accepted as an apprentice by an old man who owned a bicycle shop at Tsinghua and he stayed there for three years.

“I quit because my monthly salary was quite low. It was about 600 yuan at most in 2002. And the job always made me dirty,” he said with great disappointment. “I wanted to do some exciting jobs, which could make a lot of money.”

However, he gained nothing but more frustrations. He used up all his savings and borrowed some money to buy a car to provide underground “black taxi” services, but he failed because he was unfamiliar with the roads.

“My wife and I divorced after a series of career failures in 2005. I had no money at all, but my pride didn’t allow me to go back to my hometown,” he said with a low voice and stopped talking for a while. “Then I decided to commit suicide.”

In the winter of 2005, he hung himself in his rented apartment. Luckily, the rope broke and he fell onto a stove.“At that time, I totally lost my mind, like a crashed computer. My parents sent me to the hospital to treat me for mental disease.”

His mother died of cancerafter his recovery.“That was the darkest time in my life,” he said. He posted his experience on December 3 and encouraged students to be strong and move forward, which has received thousands of comments.

“I was shocked. I can’t believe such an optimistic man, who always likes to make friends with us, has such kind of sad past. Then I feel guilty about wasting my life and I should learn from his strong mind,” said Cai Xinshan, a student who forwarded Ren’s posting.

Ren also participated in the campus’ psychology association in 2011 to help anyone in need on and off on the campus.“I know someone needs my help from my experience and I will help them as much as I can,” he said.
