农民工自传《我是范雨素》为何刷爆朋友圈？

　　An essay written by a migrant worker about her family went viral on Chinese social media, as her plain, vivid and humorous words resonated with many readers.

　　农民工范雨素的自传文章在社交媒体上一炮走红，其朴实、生动且幽默的文字引起了读者的共鸣。

　　Fan Yusu, 44, from a village in Xiangyang, Hubei province, is a housekeeper in Beijing. In an article headlined "I’m Fan Yusu", which was published on Monday on WeChat, she tells her story.

　　范雨素，44岁，来自湖北襄阳的一个小村庄，目前在北京做家政女工。周一，她的自传《我是范雨素》在微信公众号上发表。

　　"My mother was elected as a village official of women’s affairs in 1950 and stayed in power for 40 years, even exceeding the reign of Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi," Fan wrote.

　　“我的母亲被民主选为妇女主任，从1950年开始干，执政了40年，比萨达姆、卡扎菲这些政坛硬汉子的在位时间都长。”范雨素在文章中写道。

　　But her life didn’t sound as easy as her writing style. A high fever left Fan’s elder sister mentally impaired, and her other sister contracted polio.

　　然而，她的生活远没有文章风格那般轻松。范雨素的大姐姐由于高烧导致智障，小姐姐患有小儿麻痹症。

　　She moved to Beijing to work at age 20 and married a man two years later, but Fan said they were divorced recently because of his alcohol abuse and domestic violence. She cares for her two daughters alone.

　　20岁的时候，范雨素来到北京，两年之后便结了婚。然而，丈夫每天酗酒打人，实在受不了家暴的范雨素最近和丈夫离了婚，独自抚养两个女儿。

　　The story attracted more than 100,000 views in a day and more than 20,000 comments were posted.

　　文章发表仅仅一天，就获得了10万+的点击和2万多条评论。

　　"I see an extremely strong mind behind the small body of a mother," one reader wrote, while another added: "The most touching words in life are not the rhetorical ones but the plain ones refined by life."

　　一位读者写道：“这位母亲身材娇小，却有着坚强的意志。”另一位读者评论说：“最打动我的不是华丽的辞藻，而是历经生活磨练后写出的朴素言语。”

　　In an interview with Beijing Youth Daily, Fan said she used to read the masterworks of renowned writers from China and other countries.

　　在接受《北京青年报》的采访时，范雨素说自己曾读过诸多中外作家的名著。

　　She said she did not expect the article to be so popular: She only wanted to earn some extra money to support her family.

　　范雨素没有想到自己的文章会这么受欢迎，发表文章的只是为了赚点稿费养家糊口。

　　"What happened to me after the story was published is beyond my imagination. Anyway, I make a living through manual labor, not with writing," she said. " I can barely use a computer to write."

　　“文章发表后所发生的事情，完全超乎我的想象。不管怎么说，我还是靠做苦力谋生，而不是写文章，”她说：“我都不会用电脑打字。”
