hand-made wooden stools made by old carpenters. One day they can only work out one. It must be very expensive. No, these stools don't want money because love is priceless. Yesterday, a group of 100 stools were donated to rehabilitation institutions for disabled children in the civilized village of East seven community in Yaohai District, Hefei. Over the past five years, Wang Hongyun, who is more than 30 years old, has been unremitting. He has donated at least 800 small benches to welfare agencies.
from the last century steel smelting era in the provincial steel plant, to 80s from the Hefei Cast Pipe Factory retired, the old man has done a lifetime of wood mold work. Though different from the common carpenter in making furniture, Wang Hongyun still trained a good carpenter. From 2011 onwards, the old man regained his skills and began to make small stools. "Now the small stools on the street market depend on nails, glue and sticky. All of my stools are solid wood, and they are also traditional woodworking techniques. They are all fixed by tenons and riveting. Wang Hongyun said, a small stool down, only on the surface with six small nails. It takes him a day to make a bench.
since 2011, Wang Hongyun has built at least hundreds of small stools. "No one has sold it. At first, they were neighbors, relatives and friends. Whoever had children could use it, so he came to get one." The old man said, later, as he did more and more chairs, he thought of giving small benches to welfare institutions. In the old man's home, several large red donation certificates are his great honor. According to the reporters, the children's welfare homes in Hefei and Chaohu, and a disabled Mutual Aid Association in the open District, have recorded his donation. "Every time I donate at least 100 small stools, anyway, I save this number every year, and I will donate it to the welfare agencies." Wang Hongyun said. Yesterday, he made 100 small stools, through the community and the Yaohai District residual link bridge, donated to the deaf children rehabilitation center, helping the disabled children to learn better. Grandma Liu told her reporters that they had not counted manual money. The cost of buying materials for these years was nearly 10000 yuan. And Wang Hongyun laughed and said, in order to save the cost, he often cycled, wandered around the city, saw the abandoned wood in the streets and lanes, and picked up the waste.
