[On the spot, I am thinking]

Original title: The white moonlight full of hope and love is enough to penetrate the cold night

What is the driving force that supports us to move forward when we are busy living in the world, especially when we meet the "darkest moment" of life?

I seem to have found the answer: hope and love.

Two years ago, someone told me that there was a rider station near Ludaopai Hospital in Yanjiao, Hebei Province. Many of the riders working here were parents of children with blood diseases. These parents as takeaway riders can flexibly allocate their time and take care of their children while delivering takeaway. I couldn't get close to them because of the epidemic. This summer, there was also a special agency around the Beijing Children's Hospital to take care of the seriously ill children of the cyclists' families. I had the opportunity to go to the interview, and found that almost every family story was a script of inspirational movies.

Some of the parents of these riders used to be private business owners, and some used to be urban residents with rich families, but their children unfortunately fell ill, which brought great pressure to their families. To come to Beijing is to find the last hope, and to become a rider is their choice for children. The riders come from all over the world. Their common experiences make them warm up, share information and cheer each other up.

"The sky is falling down" and "If only it were a dream". Almost every rider who starts to tell his own experience has a similar opening. Children's serious illness has changed the fate of their families and opened up another kind of life for them. However, in the face of difficulties and pressures, their resilience and potential are amazing. They don't complain and get depressed too much. Instead, they bite their teeth and start the arduous journey of accompanying their children to cure diseases.

I have quit smoking and drinking for a long time, sold my car, sold my spare house, sold my suit and watch... I saved money to cure my baby. During the conversation, they were very calm, and it has become a way of life and belief for them to continue fighting for the baby's life.

The source of this persistence is hope and love. They firmly believe that their children should not suffer such bad luck, and believe that developed modern medicine can make their children run in the sun like other children. They will also cherish every child's hobby experience course. When volunteer teachers come to teach children to learn music and draw, parents of course know that this is not for the primary school entrance examination and grade examination, but just to let children experience happiness - even one class, one minute, parents will cherish it and accompany children to experience together.

It is enough to see the child's calm and happy smiling face. They also have more power when they turn to the single running life. It seems that I don't remember the bitterness and tiredness when I run alone for my precious life.

At the rider stations around Ludaopai Hospital in Yanjiao, Hebei, some people came and went, and some people came and came back, all of which were related to the repeated illness of the child. Like the legend of Sisyphus in Greek mythology, he pushed a huge stone to the top of the mountain, and because the huge stone was too heavy, he often rolled down the mountain before reaching the top of the mountain, and all his previous efforts were wasted, so Sisyphus kept repeating and doing it forever. I feel that it is natural for them to be parents, and have hope and deep love for their children. In the face of kinship, love and hope, the potential of ordinary people is endless.

God helps those who are strong. Everyone who knows their story has the idea or impulse to do something - the webmaster of Yanjiao rider site also helps the rider in his spare time, and tries to adjust the work schedule so that the parents of the rider can take care of the children as easily as possible; Many residents around will always pass bottles of water to these riders and preach hard; The platform used social responsibility funds to cooperate with charities to build a home for babies, so that children can have a place to enjoy their childhood outside the ward; Relevant departments provide assistance in the field, security and other aspects, and trade union organizations also invest in care and gift materials; Young teachers from music schools volunteered to give music lessons to children for free

Whether it is the insistence and company of the rider's parents, or the words "I can't carry my back when I see it" in the mouth of the helper, it is a white moonlight full of hope and love in the hearts of ordinary people. It is enough to penetrate the cold night and illuminate the hearts of people.
