2011年１月13日，他登上新华社“中国网事·感动2010”年度网络人物颁奖台。他在贵州省毕节市以烤羊肉串为生，在8年时间里，他用自己卖羊肉串积攒下的10多万元，资助了100多名贫困学生，他的事迹令无数人为之感动。他就是新疆的阿里木。
现年40岁的阿里木是新疆和静县和静镇人，当过兵，受到过嘉奖，复员后，揣着仅有的10块钱和一个烤箱，来到贵州毕节市以卖羊肉串为业。阿里木在毕节生意越来越火，赚的钱一天比一天多。
毕节民风淳朴，是贵州最贫困的地区之一，很多人在温饱线上艰难生活。但这里的孩子再穷也要读书。从那一刻起，阿里木热衷于捐资助学，开始尽力帮助贫困学生。
为了资助更多的贫困学生，阿里木把零钱一分分地攒起来。而他自己，一件15元的粗线毛衣穿了8年多，一个馕饼加一杯水就当一顿饭。
2003年12月13日，阿里木到医院看望朋友，见到11岁的学生周勇全身浮肿，正躺在病床上看书，他的母亲则躲在一旁哭泣。周勇患上了肾病综合症，因为无钱治病，生命危在旦夕。他当即掏出身上仅有的200元钱，送给周勇母亲。
2006年10月，阿里木拿着零零碎碎的5000元钱找到毕节学院，希望捐助给贫困学生。一大摞钱，什么面值的都有，还带着一股烤羊肉串味道。毕节学院领导回忆当时情形仍很感动。毕节学院又增加了5000元，将这笔全校金额最小的助学金命名为“阿里木助学金”，每年资助20人，已有100多名贫困生受到资助。阿里木的义举引发了社会捐助热潮，现在，毕节学院资助金已经增加了很多。
2007年11月，阿里木得知大方县达溪镇聚河小学学生没有书包后，就从批发市场买了181个新书包。由于交通不便，他和朋友向农家借来一匹马，翻山越岭走进聚河小学，将新书包递到每一个孩子手中。
8年中，阿里木用卖羊肉串赚来的10多万元钱资助了100多名穷学生。有人算过一笔账，一串羊肉串毛利不过3毛钱，赚10万元需卖出30多万串。2008年3月，他被评为贵州都市十大人物，获得贵州省第二届“助人为乐”道德模范称号。
青海玉树地震后的第3天，阿里木实在坐不住了。他带着1万多元现金，从贵阳飞往西宁，购买了牛肉和蔬菜后，坐汽车赶到玉树，加入到救援队伍行列。
“阿里木，好巴郎！好巴郎。小小的羊肉串你能让它情深意更长，你让多少山区的孩子实现了梦想……”空政文工团阿不力孜演唱新作《阿里木，好巴郎》传遍四面八方。歌中讲述了阿里木的慈心善举，大爱情怀。
2010年9月，贵州省委号召全省人民向阿里木学习。
阿里木身在毕节，常常想念远在和静县的妈妈，流着泪用维语吟唱写给母亲的歌：“你走过的地方盛开鲜花，你停留的地方充满花香。亲爱的妈妈，我想你……”
阿里木的母亲托呼提汗老人，住进了月租75元的新疆和静县的廉租房。阿里木按时寄来生活费，老人非常满足。谈起儿子，68岁的托呼提汗满脸洋溢着幸福，她翻出阿里木的照片说：“儿子是个老实、勤奋、能吃苦的人，他在贵州帮助贫困孩子上学，为我们家乡争了光，我感到非常自豪。”
2011年1月13日，新华社发起“中国网事·感动2010”年度网络人物评选，阿里木获得了24万张最高选票。颁奖典礼在北京举行。阿里木作为第一组领奖者登上领奖台的那一刻，现场响起了热烈的掌声。当大屏幕上播出阿里木卖烤羊肉串、8年捐资10万多元、资助100多名贫困学生的视频时，不少在场的观众为之感动。站在领奖台上，阿里木激动不已，说：“这是我应该做的事情，金钱不重要，人只要活得有价值就行。”
正如颁奖词写的那样：烤羊肉串的“慈善家”阿里木，用满是烤羊肉串味道的“辛苦钱”，资助了100多名贫困生，用一颗赤诚之心，实践着“把名字写在石头上”的信念。
阿里木说：“自己做的是最普通的事，很平常很平常。这些荣誉都只是一场风，终有一天会过去的，我喜欢卖羊肉串，我会继续卖我的羊肉串，去帮助更多的孩子上学。”在北京颁奖现场，主持人问他：“阿里木大哥，你卖羊肉串赚钱不容易，你平时生活俭朴，怎么捐助那么慷慨呢？”
阿里木回答说：“我以前到处找工作，吃了很多没有文化的苦，所以我很想拥有文化。我把钱捐出来给那些学生，让他们安心读书，让他们长大成材。”
阿里木有个朴素的想法：“把字写在石头上，可以保存到永远；把字写在沙子上，只能保存一时。把钱花在该花的地方，才是物有所值。”
阿里木的事迹，从偏远的贵州传到万里之外的新疆，烤羊肉串的“慈善家”让很多人感动。
2011年1月23日，阿里木荣获“中国网事·感动2010”年度网络人物后，回到了阔别已久的故乡。新疆和静县县委书记代表全县人民给阿里木献上了美丽的鲜花。
阿里木被和静县委、县政府授予“民族团结进步模范个人”荣誉称号。和静县还设立了阿里木助学基金，聘请阿里木为助学基金的名誉理事长。同时，新疆自治区还给他颁发了“新疆青年五四奖章”。阿里木感激地说：“我的责任更重了，以后要努力工作，回报社会。”
阿里木回到了母亲家。在和静县天富花园的廉租房里，“中国网事·感动2010”奖杯成为儿子送给母亲最特别的礼物。母亲托乎提汗紧紧拥抱着儿子，脸上流下幸福的泪水。阿里木最高兴的事就是给母亲做一顿饭。他很快做好了香喷喷的拌面，母亲称赞儿子做的饭最好吃。母亲总喜欢对人说：“这是儿子送给我的披肩，儿子孝顺，但生活很艰苦，我心疼他呀……”
在和静镇夏布尔鲁克村，阿里木来到瘫痪在床的吐尔逊家里，给他送上200元钱。3年来，是阿里木的帮助，使吐尔逊一次次度过难关。
新疆自治区党委书记和阿里木聊天。初次见面，阿里木就说：“书记，我有一个请求，我想和你成为兄弟。”“我早已把你当成兄弟了，我没有兄弟姐妹，今后，你就叫我书记大哥吧！”阿里木原以为只是开个玩笑，没想到书记二话没说，就认他为弟弟。书记大哥还让他保持本色，继续帮助别人。
那一天，他们约定阿里木找到老婆后，一定要向书记大哥报喜。书记从个人工资里拿出1万元，对阿里木说：“5000元是送给你母亲的，感谢她培养了一个好儿子。还有5000元是送给你未来媳妇的，希望她支持你的工作。”
认了好心书记哥哥，阿里木说自己很幸运。他的下一步打算是，通过自己的双手好好干，去帮助更多的人。他想要迎娶一个漂亮妻子，他要在毕节农村盖一间房子，养一群羊，让老婆成为最幸福的女人。
一天，阿里木给书记报喜：“书记大哥，我如今找到了一个善良的女人，她支持我资助更多的学生，我们会好好过日子，进一步帮助别人。”
原来，阿里木的事迹传开后，帕提古丽被深深吸引了。她广泛收集阿里木的消息，细心阅读，心生爱慕。帕提古丽主动给阿里木打电话。通过情感交流，他们互生爱意。
帕提古丽是新疆鄯善第一加油站职工，现年28岁，2008年毕业于新疆农业大学。她美丽、善良、聪颖，精通维、汉双语，熟练计算机操作，在单位很受同事们的欢迎。
在相恋的日日夜夜，阿里木经常出难题考验帕提古丽。有一次见面时，阿里木说要去伊犁“寻梦”，留给帕提古丽一笔钱，要她好好照顾自己。帕提古丽坚决不收这笔钱，说：“拿别人的钱自己睡不着觉。”还有一次，阿里木问帕提古丽，你一个月挣多少钱？帕提古丽说：“大约有1000多块……”阿里木接着问：“要是不够用的话，我给补充点钱。”帕提古丽说：“你的钱拿去帮助最需要的人，我不缺钱。”帕提古丽反问道：“你现在出名了，你以后有钱了会继续帮助别人吗？”阿里木回答说：“我的乐趣就是帮助别人，我要继续帮助更困难的人。”两个人做事观点一致，让阿里木看到帕提古丽纯洁善良的本质，两人心生爱慕，最终决定相亲相爱，一生牵手。
谈了2个多月，阿里木的恋情终于开花结果。阿里木来到鄯善县，按照礼俗向帕提古丽家提亲。
2011年3月4日，阿里木现身鄯善县，大批居民争相与他握手、合影留念。鄯善居民说：“我们对阿里木太熟悉了，他娶我们鄯善的姑娘，我们感到很高兴，有他这样的好女婿，也是鄯善县民众的骄傲。”
他前往帕提古丽家拜访岳父岳母，与岳父岳母商量婚事，找个好日子成亲。为使自己更加帅气，阿里木到鄯善县的商场里，买了一身浅灰色西服。他还为未婚妻帕孜古丽挑选了一枚戒指和一束鲜花。
对阿里木的提亲，帕提古丽的父母非常高兴：“只要他们幸福就好了，我们同意他们的婚事。”
阿里木与帕提古丽在鄯善县民政局领取了结婚证。在鄯善县民政局，鄯善县县长帕尔哈提亲自为两人颁发了结婚证书。
春光明媚，鲜花盛开，阿里木和帕提古丽举行了婚礼。当阿里木跟他的伴郎走进帕提古丽的家，大家都觉得今天的阿里木特别的帅气。宅院里，拿着手鼓、吉他、手风琴的维吾尔族小伙子们唱着欢快的歌。阿里木走进屋将手中的玫瑰花献给美丽的新娘，帕提古丽的父母向新人送上最衷心的祝福。婚礼上，阿里木亲手将书记委托保管的5000元交给了新娘帕提古丽。
结婚，就意味着身上多了一份牵挂与责任。阿里木说：“我现在特别高兴、激动，我会爱护我的妻子，我们以后会更加努力，帮助更多的贫困学生。”当天，阿里木夫妇从当日婚礼礼金中抽出1万元钱，捐赠给鄯善县贫困学生。
阿里木和妻子在新疆乌鲁木齐市一家酒店举行答谢会，感谢支持和帮助他的亲戚朋友。阿里木说：“以后妻子会在贵州找一份工作，我们一起挣钱去帮助更多的孩子。”
阿里木回毕节以后还是做烤羊肉串生意。他争取把生意做大一点，多赚一点钱，以帮助更多的人。阿里木很乐观，他相信日子会一天天好起来。至今他仍住在毕节市文峰路租来的房子里，夏热冬冷。很多人不理解他的行为，阿里木反问道：“有很多钱快乐吗？我能够帮助别人，我感到很快乐。”
如今，阿里木又开始考虑更长远的资助计划，打算未来10年攒钱办一所留守儿童学校，让那些得不到父母温暖的孩子能接受更好的教育。
Kebab Peddler: Big-Hearted Philanthropist
By Yao Zhong, Chun Yu
In all probability, Alimu is a born Good Samaritan. A native of Hejing Township in Xinjiang Autonomous Region in northwestern China, Alimu bought a satchel for a classmate with the pocket money he made by recycling rubbish when he was a third grader in the primary school. His brothers and sisters were annoyed by his generosity: why did he help a classmate whereas the family needed the money? Alimu said the classmate was from a family in a poorer financial condition. Born in 1971, he joined the military service at 18. During the three-year service, he helped his comrades-in-arms and received honors for his big-hearted activities from his company and battalion. He also received citation of excellence as a soldier.
After the demobilization, he traveled for years trying to find a place to start his life as a profitable kebab peddler. He traveled and finally he came to Bijie, a city in Guizhou Province in southwestern China and far away from his hometown. He had only 10 yuan in his pocket and an oven to make kebabs. Although one of the poorest cities in the province, Bijie has many big-hearted people. In the first few days, he met many a Good Samaritan in Bijie. A stranger gave him a 2-yuan meal at a roadside food stall. A café proprietor whom Alimu had just met gave him a loan of 100 yuan as startup capital for his one-man street business. Alimu worked hard and in a few days, he was able to return the loan. He decided to stay in Bijie and decided to return the generosity he could feel everywhere. Thus, the kebab peddler from Xinjiang started his new life in a remote city in the southwest.
On February 13, 2003, he went to visit a friend in a hospital. In the ward, he saw an 11-year-old schoolboy languishing in a bed. The boy was suffering from a serious kidney problem and his body was swollen. Yet he was reading a textbook. His mother was weeping by the bedside. Alimu gave the mother all the 200 yuan in his pocket.
In October 2006, Alimu brought 5,000 yuan to Bijie Academy and said he wanted to donate the amount to help students from families with financial difficulties. The cash came in small notes. The academy added another 5,000 yuan and set up the academy’s smallest scholarship named after Alimu. The scholarship goes to 20 students a year. More than 100 students have received help from the scholarship so far. Alimu’s donation touched off a wave of donations from all walks of life in Bijie. The academy now has much more to offer to its needy students.
In November 2007, Alimu learned students in a primary school in a remote mountainous suburb of Bijie did not have school satchels. He bought 181 satchels at a local wholesale market, and borrowed a horse and traveled all the way through mountains to reach the school.
When the news of a killer earthquake in Yushu, Qinghai Province in China’s west, reached him, Alimu went there bringing 10,000 in cash. He bought food and vegetable and distributed the daily necessities among the victims.
Alimu has stayed in Bijie for about eight years and during his stay he has donated about 100,000 yuan. It is calculated that the street kebab peddler needed to sell more than 300,000 kebabs to make the amount.
Alimu’s generosity has touched the people of Bijie and the province and he has received honors for his donations. In 2008, he was honored as a Good Samaritan in Guizhou Province. In September 2010, the CPC Guizhou Committee called for the whole province to learn from Alimu. Toward the yearend of 2010, Xinhua News Agency launched a nationwide campaign online to find out who in the year 2010 touched the heart of the whole nation. Alimu was nominated and voted to the top of the long list. On January 13, 2011, he attended the award-giving ceremony in Beijing.
Alimu is proud of the honors he has received, but he believes what he does is nothing extraordinary. He believes the honors are like winds that will disappear finally. He likes the job of selling kebabs and he will continue to help children go to school. When asked why he is so generous to others and most economical in his own everyday life, Alimu says he used to travel in a bid to find a job in vain and experienced a lot of hardship. One of the difficulties in his job-hunting experience is his poor education background. That is why he chooses to donate money to education so that children from needy families can receive education without financial problems and grow up to be useful to the society.
The guideline behind his generosity is a simple motto: words carved on stone last forever whereas words written in sands stay only for a brief moment. Money is valuable only if it gets spent on meaningful objectives.
After the ceremony, the 40-year-old Alimu came home for a visit. His home county welcomed the lost son most warm-heartedly. He received honors from the county and the autonomous region governments. His mother moved into a cheap-rent apartment in downtown county seat, happily considering it a gift from her son. Zhang Chunxian, the chief of CPC Xinjiang Committee, met Alimu and gave him 10,000 yuan as gift and explained that 5,000 was for him and another half was for his future wife.
A 28-year-old girl named Patiguli called him. She is a college graduate working at a gas station. The telephone dating lasted for two months before they met each other. On March 4, 2011, Alimu paid a visit to the girl’s parents in Shanshan County in Xinjiang and asked the permission from her parents to tie the knot. Neighbors shook hands with him most gladly. The wedding took place on the following day.
Now Alimu and his wife live in a rented house on Wenfeng Road in Bijie. Some people have difficulty understanding Alimu. Why does he still want to be a kebab peddler? He replies he feels happy to be able to help others. He wants to make more money through his kebab business so that he can help more people. His big ambition for the next ten years is to set up a school for children left behind by parents who work away from home.

Alimu’s generosity has touched the people of Bijie and the province and he has received honors for his donations. In 2008, he was honored as a Good Samaritan in Guizhou Province. In September 2010, the CPC Guizhou Committee called for the whole province to learn from Alimu. Toward the yearend of 2010, Xinhua News Agency launched a nationwide campaign online to find out who in the year 2010 touched the heart of the whole nation. Alimu was nominated and voted to the top of the long list. On January 13, 2011, he attended the award-giving ceremony in Beijing.
Alimu is proud of the honors he has received, but he believes what he does is nothing extraordinary. He believes the honors are like winds that will disappear finally. He likes the job of selling kebabs and he will continue to help children go to school. When asked why he is so generous to others and most economical in his own everyday life, Alimu says he used to travel in a bid to find a job in vain and experienced a lot of hardship. One of the difficulties in his job-hunting experience is his poor education background. That is why he chooses to donate money to education so that children from needy families can receive education without financial problems and grow up to be useful to the society.
The guideline behind his generosity is a simple motto: words carved on stone last forever whereas words written in sands stay only for a brief moment. Money is valuable only if it gets spent on meaningful objectives.
After the ceremony, the 40-year-old Alimu came home for a visit. His home county welcomed the lost son most warm-heartedly. He received honors from the county and the autonomous region governments. His mother moved into a cheap-rent apartment in downtown county seat, happily considering it a gift from her son. Zhang Chunxian, the chief of CPC Xinjiang Committee, met Alimu and gave him 10,000 yuan as gift and explained that 5,000 was for him and another half was for his future wife.
A 28-year-old girl named Patiguli called him. She is a college graduate working at a gas station. The telephone dating lasted for two months before they met each other. On March 4, 2011, Alimu paid a visit to the girl’s parents in Shanshan County in Xinjiang and asked the permission from her parents to tie the knot. Neighbors shook hands with him most gladly. The wedding took place on the following day.
Now Alimu and his wife live in a rented house on Wenfeng Road in Bijie. Some people have difficulty understanding Alimu. Why does he still want to be a kebab peddler? He replies he feels happy to be able to help others. He wants to make more money through his kebab business so that he can help more people. His big ambition for the next ten years is to set up a school for children left behind by parents who work away from home.
