Chinese Organizing Committee's speech for the elderly: the wind and candle in the old age, the weak light, the old hand, write down great love in the world. Sick body, noble mind, he looked down on life at the age of ninety. A stack of remittances is a questionnaire sent to us. Everyone should think about the answer. In the past 18 years, 92 year old people have no regrets to help poor students. This spirit is more worthy of continuation of the national spirit!
'Sheng Lan: when I received your money order, I couldn't describe the mood. When I took the 200 yuan money as heavy as Mount Tai, I was in tears. A person I don't know, when I am at the end of my tether economically, it is you who extend your warm hands to help me save my child's life.
Every person of the year who touched China is shaking our hearts with their personality power. Liu Shenglan, 92, an old man in Yantai, has been collecting waste for education since 1996. Over the past 18 years, he has helped hundreds of poor students across the country with more than 100000 yuan from scavenging, which has moved many people.
His most extravagant expense was to book a newspaper for 180 yuan
Some people in the village say that Liu Shenglan is a talented man with a lot of ideas.
Born in 1923, Liu Shenglan was originally a farmer in Liuhang village, Canzhuang Town, Zhaoyuan City, Yantai. Before liberation, he was only 20 years old. He went to Tianjin alone and became an apprentice in a business family. That is to say, he learned many skills in his spare time without studying for several days.
After returning to the village from Tianjin, he worked in the farm and worked as a grain manager in the brigade. In 1975, Liu Shenglan also participated in the "zhanshanhe" commando organized by the people's commune.
But looking back on the first half of Liu Shenglan's life, the 74 year old Liu Shouren of the same village inevitably sighed, "he has really suffered all his life and didn't have a good day.". Liu Shouren said that Liu Shenglan had been married three times, but all ended in divorce. At the age of 40, he had a son, but he died in less than 10 days.
In 1979, when Liu Shenglan became a bachelor, she never married again. He first worked as a custodian in a gold mine, and then transferred to Zhaoyuan gold company as a custodian. Since 1998, he has worked as a doorman and looked at the door. In this period of time, Liu Shenglan's' home 'is a small house less than 10 square meters in the corner of the company's courtyard.
For many years, one of his most extravagant consumption behaviors was to order an evening paper for 180 yuan to find poor students in need of help in the paper. So far, he still sticks to the habit of reading newspapers, and the local evening paper is still placed at the head of his bed every day.
His most valuable possessions are money orders and letters
Some people in the village say that Liu Shenglan is a typical 'stubborn man'.
In 1996, Liu Shenglan, who was the custodian of Zhaoyuan gold company at that time, sent 50 yuan to LV Yaya, a 13-year-old middle school student in Zoucheng City, which was his first love. After that, Liu Shenglan followed the magic, as long as he knew that there were children who could not afford to go to school, he would send the money he had.
In 2002, Liu Shenglan moved back to the three thatched houses uploaded by the village's ancestors. Without income, he went to the village garbage can and the village market every day to pick up wine bottles and cans and sell them off. After selling back the money, he was not willing to eat or wear them, or all of them were donated to the unknown difficult students.
The students he donated quickly expanded from several surrounding cities to all over the country, but few people knew that the money was collected by the old man riding the old bicycle in Zhaoyuan City. Some even thought Liu Shenglan was a woman, calling him "Aunt Liu Shenglan" and "Sister Liu".
'I eat the dirty steamed bread, broken vegetable leaves and rotten fruit picked up from the garbage heap of the market. In the pot, I often steam the pickled pickled cabbage and radish leaves & hellip;' I donate all my savings. I'm not as good as the ordinary one. The villagers think he's' crazy ', and many relatives alienate him.
Wang Rixiang, an old neighbor, said that some kind-hearted villagers came to persuade him to save some money for his old age, but all failed. 'too stubborn! He's so grumpy, it's useless for others to say anything!'
Over the years, the family has received a large number of thank-you letters from the students. Some of them call him "family member", "grandfather", and some call him "aunt". However, due to the fragmentation of funding and the change of communication methods, many students have lost contact with the elderly.
Hundreds of letters from subsidized children from all over the world are the greatest support for the elderly. At the age of 92, he still can clearly remember the difficulties of each letter writer.
His spirit is more precious than Zhaoyuan's gold
Everyone said he was a respectable 'good man'.
Liu Shenglan believed that he would not get sick when he was old. He really didn't have a serious illness and had few colds. He was even hit twice a year by a car. He didn't even have a skin injury, but he had a little pain.
After Liu Shenglan's scavenging education attracted social attention, all sectors of society provided many help for the elderly. Many enthusiastic citizens and charity volunteers came here to pay homage to this "good man" in different ways.
The village has applied for five guarantees for the elderly. In addition to the government's annual subsidy of 3800 yuan, the town will also provide 200 yuan of special funds and items to visit the elderly at home every month. However, apart from a small amount of money and things used for living expenses, the old man almost donated them all.
'I've suffered all my life and I know it's hard to live in poverty. I have no children under my knee. What's the use of keeping money? Although I don't have much money, donating it to those poor children may help. 'he's always saying that.
In August last year, Liu Shenglan was hospitalized for chronic renal failure. He was most concerned about the children with sallow complexion in the hospital bed. He was worried that the children's hope would be broken if the remittance was interrupted or not in place.
I learned that grandpa was in hospital and many of the subsidized children came back to see him. Qiao Lei, a college student who was helped, transferred his class from Jinan to the old man's Hospital for many days.
Many strangers came to greet the old man for his kindness. Li Meixian, a niece and an old man in Xi'an, sent me a dress and said: 'if you have a phone, I can talk with you. '
The government will send the elderly to the nursing home in the West District of Zhaoyuan tire city for the rest of their lives. When he learned that he was "moved by China", the old man waved his hand and said, "what I have done is insignificant. I only hope that these children can study hard and become useful pillars of the country in the future. '
CCTV host Jing Yidan said, "the spirit of the elderly is more precious than Zhaoyuan gold". He hoped that on a platform like moving China, he would introduce such a respectable old man to the national audience, not only to let Shandong people know him, but also to let the people all over the country know him.
