The stall owner is a 88 year old grandmother who sells these things all day in a dilapidated wheelchair. When you are hungry, eat some cold meals you have. Tired, just sit in a wheelchair and squint. Though the income is very low, the old man still keeps his own stall.

recently, the enthusiastic netizen "Chang Yang" in the vicinity of the road to eat breakfast, found the "water old man". He noticed that almost no one went to buy water from the old man, which made him sad. So, "Chang Xiao Yang" bought a bottle of water and secretly took a picture of the old man on his micro-blog. He said on micro-blog: "at the gate of Howard Johnson Ginwa Plaza Hotel outside Nanmen, there is a grandmother sitting in a wheelchair, selling mineral water and nail clippers. The grandmother's hair was grey, her face was wrinkled, her voice was trembling and her thin clothes were in a wheelchair. I hope you can all help the old lady. You can help the old man go home early with two yuan. After

yesterday morning at 9 o'clock, reporters found "sell water old man". She was looking for some change for the customers. The old man took out a crumpled piece of toilet paper from his sweater's pocket and opened it carefully, with a few pieces of 50 Fen and a piece in it. She drew a dollar from it and handed it to the girl who bought the water. In Henan, she said, "you are a good child. This is your money, don't you see it? "
the reporter saw that the old man was very thin. Her booth was in the corner of the flower bed, containing ten bottles of mineral water and several maps of Xi'an. Under the background of the surrounding tall buildings, she and her stalls are very weak. Many passers-by pass there, so it is easy to ignore this humble place. "I can't see clearly, I can only see your nose." The old man told reporters that she was from Xuchang, Henan. She is 88 years old. Now that I am old, I have cataract in my eyes, but I have nothing wrong with my body. She has a 60 year old son, and grandchildren and granddaughters, but she doesn't live with them. She usually takes care of herself.
the reporter wanted to know more about the life of the old man, but not a few words, the old man said, "my mind is confused, the more I speak, the more I'm confused, I don't know anything." After that, the old man turned to his own business. She stood up slowly from the wheelchair, bent back, took out two bottles of drink from the bag hung in the back of the wheelchair, and put it neatly on the stall.

"more than 7 in the morning, she pushes her wheelchair out of the road, and then sits near the hotel to sell mineral water, just one day." Chen Dong, a security guard in the parking area of Howard Johnson Ginwa Plaza Hotel, said that when he came to work two years ago, the old lady had sold water here. However, there are very few customers coming to buy water every day. The elderly can only sell several bottles of water a day, and the profit of a bottle of drinks is only a few cents, and they can not earn a few dollars.
"the old man doesn't like to talk too much. He sells all kinds of drinks and maps all year round, and a bus card set, with low income." An aunt, who lived nearby, told a reporter that she exercised every day in the city park. The old woman used to live around the south gate, and the old man seemed to have been fixed to the door of the hotel to sell water. "Never seen someone delivering food to an old man. She always eats cold food."
no one knows what the old man's name is, and no one knows where the old man lives. Sometimes, passing guests chat with her, she also talks a few words, but most of the time, the elderly are sitting in a wheelchair busy with their own affairs.
