in the street, but it's not easy to do the best in 18 years. A barber shop on the East Street has FREE haircuts for the elderly around. Every month there is "free day". This good thing has lasted for 18 years.
barber shop for the elderly free hairdresser
9 on the morning of 8, a number of elderly people came to the thousand silk beauty shop in the forest of stele District, in front of the door queue number, ready for free haircut. Worried about the old man's body, the barber shop also specially prepared the rest stool and red date tea for the old man who was waiting for a haircut. After the old man finished his hair, the staff in the store sent the steamed bread ready for the elderly ahead of schedule.
"it's not easy to persist in doing this good thing for a long time." "You can get free haircut every month. It makes them feel very convenient," she said with a smile. "The girls and the guys in the barber shop often care about us, but we are embarrassed."
, for this reason, Ms. Liang, the barber shop owner, said, "we feel very pleased that the old people are happy to laugh after finishing their hair."
the store held the day of 18 years
in the barber shop, Zhang Minxian, deputy director of the Ma factory community, told reporters that the community has always been very supportive, and they often organize public welfare activities with Ms. Liang, and also advocate the active participation of community volunteers.
Ms. Liang said, since 1998, their barber shop has "free day" on 8 days every month. It has been free for the elderly in the community on this day, and now they have persisted for 18 years. When providing free haircuts to the elderly, some streets need to be occupied. Thanks to the community-based communication with the relevant departments, this activity has been carried out smoothly.
Zhang Minxian, I hope that through this barber's public behavior, it can affect the other young people in the community, together with the virtues of aging and loving the old, so that the overall atmosphere of the community is becoming more and more harmonious and the humanistic atmosphere is more positive. It is understood that, because of this public welfare activity, Ms. Liang was appraised as "good person in the forest of Steles" by the Beilin District Committee in 2015.
in helping the elderly to find happiness
talk about the purpose of doing this public service, Ms. Liang said, because the elderly in the neighborhood of the barber shop are mostly empty nesters, at first just trying to help the old and bring joy to the old. This activity has been supported by Mrs Liang's mother since the beginning. 3 years ago, after her mother's death, Ms. Liang had thought of giving up when she was sorry, but when she saw a happy smile on her face with the help of the old people, she felt that it was worth it again, and the mother did not want to give up easily.
Ms. Liang also told reporters that in recent years, with her help, the salesmen of barber shops and their close friends have joined this love team. A volunteer, Ms. Sun told reporters, "I'm honored to be a volunteer to participate in such a meaningful event. Everyone has an old day, so we have to start from ourselves and care about caring for the elderly."
