Re: Hangzhou 85 year old retired teacher late night scavenging subsidized students for more than 10 years
was registered, staff asked about the life and income of the elderly. The old man's answer is more unexpected. "Most of the money is earned by collecting waste and recycling items every day. I can earn hundreds of dollars a month, and I will make up for the shortage if I have enough money." Wang Shensen said, "tell your children, don't worry about money, you can contact me whenever you need."
Wang Shensen said it was very flat, but the voice of his wife Wang Xiuyun said, "he is not picking up waste because of the difficulties of life, but trying to help more students through his own efforts."
Wang Shensen was an army officer when he was young. In October 1978, he transferred to the Zhejiang Medical University (now the Zhejiang University medical school) and engaged in national defense education. After retirement, because of their poor health, their monthly medical expenses cost a lot of pensions. But Wang could not afford to relax, and tried to make certain expenses in his own income to help people who he thought should help.
"every day there will be good hearted people to contribute money, but the old man, using scavenging money to subsidize difficult students, is our first encounter." A staff member of the provincial youth development foundation sent out such an exclamation.
day night night scavenging, only to help more people
agreed with the elderly, the reporter came to his home. The old man lived on the first floor, and the small yard was stacked with plastic bottles and paper boxes.
"these are all picked up by me last night. I'll pack them up and sell them to the recycling station." Wang Shensen said. At 10 o'clock every night, Wang Lao pushes his tricycle and goes out to pick up the trash until three or four in the morning. 365 days a year, every day.
"why do you pick it up in the middle of the night?" The reporter was puzzled.
"there are more people picking up trash during the day, and they need it more than I do, so I won't take them away." Wang Shensen said he was accustomed to the law of work and rest day and night.
the surrounding hotels, hotels, and small supermarkets are the key to the recycling of the old people. One night, he can pick up two tricycles and earn four, five hundred yuan a month.
"older, not as good as before." Wang Shensen said that with the increase of age, he felt more and more incompetent and often felt backache and backache.
, however, Wang Shensen is very happy when he thinks of his efforts to help some difficult students finish their studies. He took out a letter and a picture from the box, and said to the reporter, "this is my former child, she has now found a job and a teacher, and I think my effort is particularly worth it."
Wang Shensen said that during the 15 years from 1978 to 1993, most of Zhejiang medical university students had heard his national defense education course. At work, students who encounter difficulties in life will also help in time. "Some students have no money to pay tuition fees or meals. I will help them first. Over the past 15 years, I have helped hundreds of students." Wang Shensen said.
in 1993, Wang Shensen retired from his post, but he still subsidized students through various means. In 2012, he saw in the media that Xu Lingling, the girl of Changshan, worried about college tuition and was still working everywhere in the summer, he wanted to contact the girls themselves and help her solve the urgent problem. The letter and photos were sent by Xu Lingling. From 2012 to 2016, Wang Shensen supported her 18000 yuan, helping her to graduate smoothly, and now he became an English teacher. In the letter, Xu Lingling thanked the old man for her help, and said he would remember the teachings of the old man, work hard, help more children, be a useful person to the society
"I am old, can not find other jobs, but still want to help the people in need through their own work." The old man told reporters that as long as the body was allowed, the student assistance would be carried out to the end.
