I didn't expect the class president to do this.
* This story was shared by the main character on the Baidu forum (China) and received many comments from the online community.
My name is Li Zhi, I come from a family in the countryside. When I received the admission notice from a key university, my parents cried with pride. They had spent all their hard-earned savings to support my university education. Seeing their sacrifice, I silently promised myself that I would never let them down.
When I first came to school, I felt quite out of place. Looking at my classmates dressed very neatly, I couldn't help but feel self-conscious about my family background. This feeling made me shy and afraid to talk to anyone.
Fortunately, my classmates did not look down on me. Gradually, I integrated into the class better. In particular, the enthusiastic help of the class monitor and classmates made me feel much warmer and more confident.
When I was a student, my family had many financial difficulties. My mother fell ill, making life even more difficult. In that situation, I received invaluable help from my class monitor and my classmate Xu Mai. They applied for a living allowance from the school for me, and I was given 300 yuan (about 1 million VND) per month. Thanks to this, I was able to continue my studies. I am truly grateful.

After graduating, I started working for a large corporation. With my constant efforts, I was promoted to a management position. The sweetest achievement was when I was able to afford to buy a nice house and bring my parents to the city to live with me.
Life is finally not as difficult as before, now there is no more financial pressure, looking back, I suddenly want to see my old school friends again. Although we still chat on social networks from time to time, I still want to meet everyone in person.
Unexpectedly, my wish came true unexpectedly. One day, I received a call from the class president informing me about the upcoming class reunion, and I was extremely happy.
The reunion after many days apart made the party atmosphere more exciting than ever. We reminisced about our good memories from our school days and shared happy stories. When it was time to pay, my friend Hua Mai suggested splitting the bill equally, but another friend interrupted and said, “The class president seems to be doing very well in business these days, and his family has always been very well off. I think we should let him show off his wealth this time.” After saying that, some classmates chimed in, “Yes, yes, yes, the class president should also show off to us, haha…”

Seeing the class monitor being 'surrounded' by everyone, Xu Mai suddenly pulled me aside and whispered something that struck me like a thunderbolt: 'Li Zhi, you have to help the class monitor this time. I just started my own business, so it's a bit difficult to pay the 15,000 yuan (about 52 million VND) bill to support him. But do you remember the 300 yuan subsidy back then? Actually, the class monitor paid for you out of his own pocket, the school didn't approve of it. Now that he's having a hard time, I think we should show our gratitude!'
After hearing that, I was completely confused and stunned, not expecting that the person I had always admired would secretly help me like this. After regaining my composure, I directly said loudly: “Everyone, let me pay this time. During the four years of university, thanks to our class president, I did not give up, and had the opportunity to study and have the life I have today. I want to express my gratitude to him.”
Everyone in the class was extremely surprised. They were silent for a moment, then looked at the class monitor with apologetic eyes.
A beautiful friendship is a friendship that lasts over time. Even though life has many changes and distances, the love between close friends is always full.
