Who will restore the shattered self-esteem???? The wounded self-esteem may come from many reasons, and being ridiculed by others due to poverty is one of them. Geng Jun, a middle school student in a remote mountainous area in the south, became withdrawn and weak because of his inferiority complex; because of his weakness, he was always mocked and even bullied by his classmates. One time, his classmates hung his patched socks on the blackboard, which made him lose his mind due to extreme humiliation. In anger, he wanted to kill people, set fires, steal, and rob……???? No one wants to be poor. However, no matter how developed society becomes, there will always be poor people. If we are that person who has nothing but still needs to keep living, what should we do? Any reason for negative despair and self-abasement can only make our fate worse. Making a vow in poverty and rising up in poverty is the wisest choice for the poor; it is the true hero who rises from having nothing. Geng Jun's example can give all the children who suffer from poverty a good inspiration and strength!
