3 afternoon, Zou Guilan gave Yuan Zhiqi in the neighborhood a haircut.
half a century ago, Zou Guilan, a Ji'nan citizen, was 25 years old, responding to the call of "learning from Comrade Lei Feng". It was in her youth that she learned his own hair and served the people in need of free service. As the years passed, Zou Guilan's hair went from black to white for 50 years.

with practical action to learn Lei Feng, the husband as a model science hairdresser
although the first month of hairdresser is few, but the 75 year old Zou Guilan of the Jiefang Road community has not been idle. Knowing that the reporter wanted to interview her, she said on the phone: "in the afternoon of March 3rd, I went to the next room to have my hair cut. Let's go to his home to chat."
Zou Guilan lives in the two dormitory of the machinery hall. The service radius of her haircut is not limited to this district. After the last "customer" Yuan Zhiqi rubbed his hair, Zou Guilan rubbed his arm and said, "the age is big, every time you can't manage a few people, before the whole kindergarten's haircut almost let me pack."
Yuan Zhiqi took a look in the mirror and saw that he had just finished his mental appearance, and he actually held a punch to Zou Guilan. "Every time you give a haircut, you don't want any money. Thank you very much." Yuan Zhiqi said that Zou Guilan was a very enthusiastic person in the neighborhood. He often gave hair to the elderly, children and sick people who were not easy to go out.
about the reason for free haircut, Zou Guilan said in 1963, President Mao Zedong called on "Comrade Lei Feng to learn", when she worked in the kindergarten, although she was full of enthusiasm, but did not know how to express it. "I don't know how to invent and create. I can't do anything great. When I see children grow up in school, I want to learn haircuts. This is all needed." Zou Guilan said.
bought a haircut tool. Zou Guilan, who had no experience, first started with his relatives. Wang Laixian's head became her "experimental field". "It's hard to beat her hair and I can't fight her enthusiasm. I can only bear it. Fortunately, she learns quickly, or she will suffer me." Wang Laixian laughed and said that he had never been to a barber shop since his wife began to study haircuts.
50 years of hair cut across the three generation, now door-to-door to the elderly hair
Zou Guilan recalls, the hairdresser skilled, she first to the kindergarten little boy. "After all, the little boy's hairstyle is simple and his head is not good enough to turn it into a bald head, but the little ones like it and give me a lot of confidence." Zou Guilan said.
"later, the little girl reassured me, and sometimes the whole class asked me to take charge. Now I think, those students are nearly 50 years old." In half a century, Zou Guilan said, she had a bad haircut with a bad haircut. "The haircut was manual, now electric, and I'm learning to repair these tools now."
"I changed my job later, but the habit of hairdressing didn't change. After work, I waited in the reception room, and the employees and family members came to see me." What Zou Guilan can't forget is what he said to her when he visited his relatives abroad. "He said that I and his mother were colleagues, and I gave his mother, he and his son three generations."
because of good workmanship, coupled with the large number of elderly hairdresser groups, many people suggested that Zou Guilan set up a barber shop. "I do not worry about eating, I do not worry about dressing, nor do I want to make money for my hair. What shop do I open?" whenever Zou Guilan hears such a proposal, he will refuse it decisively.
Zou Guilan, Zou Guilan, Yang Xuehua, deputy director of the community neighborhood committee of Jiefang Road, put up his thumbs up: "to be honest, the old lady is really great. It's 50 years, and more rarely, she is still in bed for the people who are in bed."
not only for people to cut hair, she is also a good helper of the neighborhood committee
Wang Laixian told reporters that now Zou Guilan's haircut object is mainly two categories, "one is flexible legs, together in the elderly activity center together. The other is bad feet, and she takes the tools to help them at home. Reporters saw that Zou Guilan's special handbag contained scissors, combs, clamps, towels and aprons and other hairdressing tools.
Zou Guilan said there was an old man surnamed Zhou in the district. She was the longest one in her haircut for 20 years. "He is not well enough to go out, and I will give him another one every month." Zou Guilan told reporters that there are quite a lot of barbers like this. In order to remind them, these old people have the same haircut cycle as Wang Laixian's.
"I cut my hair in the last few years of the life of a lot of old people, and sometimes I went to the hospital and gave them the last hair to leave the old man." Zou Guilan said that the old people on the bed were very happy to see her. Sometimes the dying old man still wanted to see her last.
Yang Xuehua told reporters that Zou Guilan's enthusiasm is not only reflected in the hairdresser. She is also a good helper of the neighborhood committee. Health, the University of the elderly, and family disputes are all solved. "These days, she's also busy with her activities such as the day of love, women's day and so on. She jokes to us that she has no age to retire, and if she doesn't fall down, she will do it again." Yang Xuehua said.
