Original title: Seventy old people post ten thousand notices to find someone to find their wife: only to find you for the rest of their lives
In 18 months since the beginning of last year, Wang Yuming, a 72 year old man in Huixian County, Gansu Province, has posted more than 10000 notices to find the same person, Yan Baoxia. Yan Baoxia, Wang Yuming's wife, suffered from Alzheimer's disease and was accidentally lost 18 months ago. The police searched for her for half a month, but did not find her whereabouts. Since then, Wang Yuming has been determined to find her.
Wang Yuming: the rest of my life just to find you
May 1st is the wedding anniversary of Wang Yuming and Yan Baoxia. They spent 48 spring, summer, autumn and winter together. But this year's wedding anniversary, Wang Yuming is out looking for his wife.
Three years ago, Yan Baoxia was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. At that time, the two sons had already married in other places, and Wang Yuming was alone at home to take care of his wife. Until the beginning of last year, the accident happened.
Wang Yuming:
On January 25, 2018 (night), I washed my feet in the bathroom. She didn't see me, so she went out to find me. I'll just say one less word and I'll just shout.
Yan Baoxia never came back as soon as she went out. Wang Yuming called the police the next day, and the police station immediately coordinated the video surveillance of various units along the way, and sent the police force to search the whole city in a carpet style, but no trace of Yan Baoxia was found. At this time, Wang Yuming made up his mind to go on foot.
Wang Junfeng, the eldest son of Wang Yuming
He didn't want to celebrate the new year. He went to his hometown jiangluo town on the eve of new year's Eve and began to look for it on the first day of the new year.
Every time he went out, Wang Yuming would bring 200 notices, 20 tubes of glue, a thin quilt and several steamed buns. All the way to inquire, from dawn until dark.
When it's dark, spread the plastic cloth on the ground and spread out the bedding.
Wang Junfeng, the eldest son of Wang Yuming
I talk to my father a lot. I said, where do you live? He said, sleeping on the roadside. I said why don't you find a hotel to sleep? He said he didn't want to sleep in a hotel. He just wanted to sleep there and see if there were any homeless people, my mother.
After being exposed to the wind and the sun, all the notices once pasted have faded and fallen off. Wang Yuming followed dozens of routes and put on new notices.
Mr. Zhang
At the beginning, he pasted black and white photos, but now it's color photos. The density has increased, and he pasted one every few steps.
Wang Yuming is a retired veteran. In August 1970, when they went to the front line to fight, Wang Yuming and Yan Baoxia had just been married for more than three months. Newly married, they can only contact by letter.
Wang Yuming:
The letter wrote to her: Dear Baoxia, Hello! Long time no correspondence, do you still miss me? I miss you very much, but for the sake of revolutionary work, although we are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, our hearts are together.
In the first ten years of marriage, his wife, Yan Baoxia, lived alone with her children in her hometown of Tangshan, Hebei Province. When Wang Yuming went to visit his relatives, they survived the Tangshan earthquake. In order to save Wang Yuming, his wife was also injured. Later, the family came to Huixian County, Gansu Province to settle down. In order to supplement her family, Yan Baoxia sold popsicles and did odd jobs.
Wang Yuming:
She said she was not afraid of hardship. Since I'm with you, I'm not afraid of any hardship, as long as we are together.
The two Yuan Yan Baoxia earned from selling popsicles for the first time has been preserved as a memorial by Wang Yuming.
After the war, the earthquake and the material shortage, Wang Yuming felt that he owed his wife too much in his life.
Wang Yuming:
Whenever I eat, I think about what she's eating now. In the evening, I go to sleep outside. I still have a quilt. Who can cover it for her?
Help to find a wife
Thinking of the hardships we had together when we were young, but now his wife left in this way, Wang Yuming was not reconciled, and he had to continue to look for it. In the process of Wang Yuming's search for his wife, many people offered a helping hand. Hotel owners provide free accommodation, noodle shop owners bring food & hellip; & hellip; Wang Yuming is no longer so lonely and helpless to find his wife's way.
After 18 months, he walked thousands of kilometers and broke six pairs of shoes. Wang Yuming searched the nearby towns and valleys. His actions moved many people around him. In addition to his son and comrades in arms, there are many strangers who are also helping to find Yan Baoxia's whereabouts.
Wang Junfeng, the eldest son of Wang Yuming
Last year, when the network (forwarding volume) was large, I had to answer more than 100 calls a day. I only answered the phone all day. Hainan, Heilongjiang, Guangdong, Guangxi, Jilin, Liaoning and Tangshan are the most, because my mother is from Tangshan, Hebei.
In Huixian County, the Civil Affairs Department raised nearly ten thousand yuan for Wang Yuming, and some caring people often went to help put up notices. The old man wrote down all the help he had given in his notebook one by one. He should continue to look for it with these concerns and hopes.
Wang Yuming:
She followed me to Huixian two thousand kilometers away, suffered such a big crime, how can I give up her? If I can't find her, I will find her forever!
Editor's note: please help those who forget you go home
Although up to now, Wang Yuming's wife has not been found, more and more people have been moved by his kindness and persistence to his wife. With everyone's joint efforts and help, I hope to hear from Yan Baoxia as soon as possible.
In fact, in 2012, CCTV News Center launched a public welfare action on Alzheimer's disease - "yellow Bracelet action.". Here, I also want to remind the families of Alzheimer's patients that they can apply for the Yellow collar from the official account of the Chinese people's welfare foundation, the official WeChat public. Once the patients wearing the 'yellow Bracelet' get lost, they can be quickly found with the information on the bracelet.
At the same time, we also want to say to the young people who work outside that we are very hard and under great pressure. No matter how busy we are, we should go home to see our parents as much as possible.
"We're all very well," my parents said on the phone,
Not necessarily 'really good'.
Some love, maybe don't say it,
More company is enough!
