Raindrop: an old man with a charity
he was frugal and made dozens of donations; he changed the berth ticket to a hard seat and saved money for donations; he did a good thing, but never called it, each time it was "raindrop"
10: 30 yesterday afternoon, and the reporter saw it near Jigang. The "raindrop" of the old man. The old man has white hair and plain clothes, and treats others with enthusiasm. After repeated questioning by reporters, he told about his experience in philanthropy. The old man's hometown, Qingdao, was born poor, and his parents taught him how to do good and virtue. In 1996, he inadvertently met the 3 year old little Shanshan. Shanshan's parents are from Lanzhou. They work in Qingdao, their father has diabetes, and their legs are disabled. The old man was determined to subsidized his school after he learned of his family situation. Since then, the old man has taken 300 to 500 yuan from his salary every year, and has been insisting on graduating from junior high school this year.
one day, his mind flashed an idea: after all, I have limited strength. Can I be like the dust of Qingdao, pushing the love cause of Ji'nan and making the love brand of the spring city? At 10 a.m. on February 15, 2007, the old man came to the Shandong Charity Federation and donated 2007 yuan to support the stricken families and wrote down the "rain spot" on the donors' column. From then on, where there are difficulties, there is a "raindrop" figure. In April 17, 2007, the old man went to Ningxia for a meeting. Such a long journey, for 70 years old people, even sitting sleeper is also very hard. The old man himself thinks in his heart that if he sits in a sleeper, it will spend nearly 500 yuan, and the hard seat can save more than 200 yuan. Why don't you take the money that will be saved by the hard seat? So the old man bought a hard seat ticket, and after he arrived in Ningxia, he donated the 200 yuan he had saved.
this is just a microcosm of good deeds done by the elderly. In ordinary life, the old people live frugally, but they are generous in their donations. In 2008, the Wenchuan earthquake, the old man, in the name of "raindrop", first donated 1000 yuan to the disaster area on the 15 day of May, and then donated all the hundreds of yuan to the disaster area in May 25th. In the January 2010 Haiti earthquake, the old man donated 600 yuan to the disaster area in the name of "raindrop". In April 2010, the Yushu earthquake, the old man donated 176.4 yuan to the disaster area on May 5. In the recent flood in the south, the old people donated 594.8 yuan to the disaster area on 23 June. Over the past few years, the elderly have donated tens of times, totaling tens of thousands of yuan.
through media reports, the "raindrop" old man's deeds aroused strong repercussions in society, and many good hearted people appeared in the name of "raindrop". Speaking of these, the old man was very pleased and expected more and more good people to join the "raindrop" army. "I really feel very happy. In the dry days, a small rain point can save a little Miao Miao, and my strength is limited after all. "Rain point" is the hope that you can appeal to everyone to share love, let 'rain spots' go to the country, let a drop of love into rivers.
