"gone." At 8 in the morning, Wang Zhenming ate breakfast as usual and went up the hill with his walking stick on his sickle head. Say hello to my wife. Eighty years old, but Uncle Wang has no back and no waist.
"all the guys are with you?"
"forget it."
the old fellow's "guy" is a cloth pocket tied to his waist by Uncle Wang, with a small iron pick and a small shovel. When Uncle Wang entered the house, he put these "guys" under the desk on the right hand side of the door.
"he didn't dare to put these baby pimps here two years ago." The aunt complained slightly in the tone, and explained to reporters that when Uncle Wang started repairing the mountain road, Uncle Wang's "confidentiality" work was well done. In the early morning, I went out to the house in the back of the house, and put the cloth pocket of the "guy" in the back, and then the coat was covered. "No one could see it. He told the family that it was a stroll. In fact, there was no sound on the hill to repair the steps."
Uncle Wang lives in Tai Tai, Mentougou. It is a mountainous area. It goes out to see the mountains, and to travel without shelter. He has been working for 29 years in the big coal mine. After retirement, sometimes walking up the mountain, looking at the mountain road is difficult to do, thinking of behind the residential area of Nanshan for everyone to go up the mountain paved road. In this way, the workers in the mining area can take a short cut home, and the people exercising have new places.
"I have thought about it before I do it. I will build a step on the three day, and I will be able to repair it to the top of the mountain in a few years." Lord Wang said as he walked up the hill. This is five years. He has never made a sound. He has not let his family know that he has been a soldier and an old Party member. "Is it not a good thing to do that?"
in May 2009, the secret of Uncle Wang's road was first discovered by the old girl. On that day, Uncle Wang worked hard and did not go home for lunch after twelve noon. The old companion was worried, so that the old girl hurried up the hill to look for it. Following the mountain road, the old girl saw father who was digging a stone with a pickaxe.
"Mom, my father didn't exercise, he built roads in the mountains. What would happen if something happened?" When the father entered the house, the old girl burst into her mother's arms and wept.
"I told them that when I went up the mountain to build a road, I could still exercise by myself, and it was easier to get sick at home." Uncle Wang chatted with reporters on the side of the uphill slope, but he did not breathe heavily. "At that time, the mountain road has been completed 2/3, I really do not want to give up halfway and have to go all the way to the end."
the sons and daughters failed him, and immediately decided to give a mobile phone to Lord Wang and asked him to "take a cell phone when he went on the mountain, and the time of repair could not be more than 3 hours a day." Uncle Wang Hei hei said, "my sons and daughters give me a cell phone. Is this not my acquiescence?"
with Lord Wang, the reporter quickly arrived at the hiking steps that he had been repaired for 7 years. From the bottom of the mountain, the steps stretched from the foot of the mountain to the top of the top of the 200 meters high. With the steps up the hill, the feet are no longer potholed and potholed. The steps of Master Wang are all flat and flat, with egg sized pieces of crushed stone on the bottom, and on which the small arms are so long as the stones. The width of the majority of the steps is enough for two people. The reporter raised a piece of Uncle Wang to pick up the stone bar beside the road and weigh it at least 15 Jin.
climbed to the top of the mountain - exactly the top of the steps, and the reporters counted 724 steps. Uncle Wang said that it was not finished yet, and that he had to go to the top of the mountain.
before Nanshan stepped up the steps, there was no road at all. There was only a ditch washed out by the rain.
sickle weeding, iron pick drilling, shovel pad soil, Uncle Wang repair roads, no modern tools and techniques, and some are persistent spirit. "These stones were all carved out of the hills." Uncle Wang said that when he repaired the road, he needed a pick and a pick to dig out the stones, leveling the roadbed, and then stepping up the stone steps. The big stones on the hillside weigh up to 100 Jin. Uncle Wang can't move. They dig holes first to open the slipway for the stones. The stone that was really unable to move and blocked the road, Uncle Wang directly cut a step on it, and had to cut the sharp sharp corner on the stone.
in order to facilitate pedestrians to rest and watch, Uncle Wang also opened a viewing platform with an area of about forty or fifty square meters on the hillside and the top of the mountain. Looking down from the hillside Observatory, the house looks like the size of a nail.
at the top of the mountain, the reporter walked out of the unfinished mountain road, and experienced the bad working environment of Lord Wang: climbing up the steep slope near 45 degrees had to be used with feet and feet, and the feet should try to step on the thick soil. If you stepped on the small stone, it was not easy to skid or pain. When climbing to the top of the mountain, the reporter was sweating profusely and his knees were soft.
over the past 7 years, he has worn nearly 20 pieces of iron pickaxe, sickle and shovel, and the pair of sneakers climbing the mountain have changed more than 10 pairs.
"when I worked as a miner, I had been in friendship with this mountain for more than 50 years, and I couldn't put it in my heart." Mr. Wang said he had recently heard of the relocation of the residents in the big street, which made his heart go up and down, "even if I move away later, I will always return to maintain this mountain road."
