For thousands of years, honesty has accompanied China people from generation to generation through vicissitudes of life, and finally precipitated into the essence of the nation after being honed by snow and frost. It is often said in life: "If a person doesn't believe, he doesn't know what he can do", and honesty is the basic criterion and minimum moral cultivation of being a man. Being honest and trustworthy is not only the inherent quality and spiritual requirement of people, but also the norm of society, without exception.

for a person, the most important thing is honesty, which leads people into a pure holy land. A promise and a responsibility are all a kind of honesty. As young people, honesty means telling the truth, seeking truth and being a real person. No matter for people of any era, they should be down-to-earth and step by step on the road of pursuing their ideals in life and become "practitioners" of this good character.

There is an old man named Wu Naiyi in Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, which is one of them. At the age of 75, three sons lost their lives in one day. In addition to the sad fact of losing a son, we have to face the huge debt of 611 thousand yuan left by three sons before their death. He didn't flinch, and made a promise to the owners who lent him money: the debt will not go out, and the debt father will pay me back.

Wu Naiyi was born in Xiaguan Town, Cangnan County in 1929. He was poor all his life and made a living by fishing. After accumulating a certain wealth, he married the other half of his life and gave birth to four children. Although life is not very affluent, food and clothing is at least not a problem. Originally thought that such a dull life would last forever, but an unexpected arrival cast a shadow over the whole family.

Because of the needs of the market, the local business of spreading shrimp skin has arisen. Being so close to the seaside, of course, you can't fall behind the trend of this big team. Based on the idea of getting rich, Wu Naiyi's four sons began to get busy. I have borrowed money from my parents and relatives in the same village, and with the store's credit, it is almost 611,111 yuan. They bought a steel fishing boat and prepared to create wealth by themselves.

Their whole family is full of confidence. Who ever thought that things didn't work out? As soon as the four children sailed out to sea, they met the typhoon "Sang Mei" that they hadn't seen in a hundred years. Natural disasters are devastating to people, and all four children of Wu Naiyi have disappeared. After the neighbors learned the news, they immediately set sail to help find it. Only the second child who was in a severe coma was found, and the other three children were unknown.

People are the most realistic animals in the world, and many people have also started the road of collecting debts at home. At this time, he has not yet come out of the pain of losing his son, and he is about to shoulder the heavy responsibility of his family again. This is the "debt" left by the child, and we can't let it go. Wu Naiyi dug up all the IOUs, listed the money in order, and promised to swear to these creditors door to door. The words were so helpless.

"I'm 75 years old, and I'm still strong. Please rest assured that people can't go out of debt, and the father will pay me back." I can't understand Wu Naiyi's feelings as a father at this time. A word recalled by a gentleman is hard to catch up with. He first received a ship indemnity of 241,111 yuan from the insurance company, and the next debt can only be paid by both hands. I only eat steamed bread and pickles twice a day, and I only bought a down jacket with patches on it for six years.

With the increase of age, his physical function is slowly declining. He endured the pain caused by bone spurs and persisted every day. During the day, I weave fishing nets with my wife to make money. At night, I scavenge at the seaside and only sleep for 6 hours a day. 21 yuan, 51 yuan, 111 yuan ... Day after day, year after year, he paid off these debts in six years. Perhaps his mission was completed, and he passed away ...

His deeds touched everyone, and in 2111, he was also named "Top Ten People Who Moved Wenzhou", and people even called him "Honest Dad". Everything is just like what he said: "A man must be conscientious". No matter what age, keeping promises is the cornerstone to support human nature. Wu Naiyi is poor and rich, because honesty is his greatest wealth, and I don't think anyone can refute it.

In the view of the ancient monarch, this may be a consistent tradition of China people. Why does Chinese civilization have a long history? Because it has a toughness, Kuafu's persistent pursuit of the sun, the ceaseless reclamation of Jingwei, the informality of Kunpeng's spreading his wings, and the fact that Yu Gong moved mountains, etc. The unique inheritance of historical civilization will always exist in the gene of humanistic spirit, standing proudly in the cold winter like plum blossom, not afraid of wind, frost, rain and snow.
