In spring, the streets and alleys of Nanchang are already covered with new green willows and trees sprouting new shoots, showing a vibrant scene. At this time, in a classroom at the New Era Civilization Experiment Station of Xiangshan Community, Nanpu Street, Xihu District, Nanchang City, 74-year-old Chen Yanren was teaching junior high school physics courses to a group of children. In a corner of the classroom, my wife Wu Xuehua sat quietly. She is of medium build, has black hair, and looks lovingly at everything in front of her.
In 1975, Wu Xuehua, who was only 20 years old at the time, began to assist a theoretical student. Over the past 48 years, whether it was job transfer or retirement, or even after a car accident, she has been resolutely moving forward on the road of helping students and others. She spent her life’s hard work watering the flowers in the mainland, and the 64 children who received help and support affectionately called her “Mother Wu”. In March 2019, Chen Yanren and Wu Xuehua were selected into the “China’s Good People List” released by the Central Civilization Office.
A love lights up a beacon
Wu Xuehua is unfortunate. She was born in Xingzi County (now a district of Lushan City) in 1955. Her mother suffered from acquired mental retardation, three brothers died in infancy, and two sisters were disabled. The grieving father became seriously ill and was bedridden all year round. During her childhood, in order to prevent her family from starving to death, Wu Xuehua went out alone to beg for food for the whole family, experiencing all the hardships in the world.
Wu Xuehua is honored again. With the help of neighbors, Wu Xuehua gradually grew up. In 1970, Wu Yueli, then director of the neighborhood committee where she lived, used her party membership guarantee to allow 15-year-old Wu Xuehua to work in the Xingzi Knitting Factory. In the second year after joining the factory, Wu Xuehua’s father died of illness. It’s Wu Yueli again, busy in front of others. Many years later, Wu Xuehua still clearly remembers the day when her father was buried. Wu Yueli touched her head and said: “My child, you have to stand up for yourself and repay society when you grow up.”
This sentence was deeply imprinted in Wu Xuehua’s heart. Starting from scratch, she worked hard. While others knitted 30 pairs of gloves every day, she knitted 60 pairs, becoming a pacesetter in the factory and a model worker in the county. Thanks to Wu Yueli and many well-meaning people for their help, she helps people around her whenever she has the opportunity.
In 1975, Wu Xuehua began to help a student who lost the care of his parents. Since then, she has continued to help poor students, whether in Jiujiang or Nanchang, and has helped 64 people. Now, some of these children are still studying, and some have entered society.
Starting from September 2017, Wu Xuehua and his wife, who have retired for many years, have been living in Nanpu, where they live.The Xiangshan community in the sub-district has opened a tutoring class to help children from poor families with mathematics and physics. “The first time I received a call from Teacher Wu, I thought it was a liar. I didn’t believe that there would be people who would not spend money to tutor their children. Later, after the introduction of community cadres, I sent my children to tutor. Not only did they not spend money, They provide extra homework and buy food and school supplies for the children.” Talking about Wu Xuehua and his wife, Wang Wei, the parent of the student, sighed.
Later, Chen Yanren and Wu Xuehua moved to Nanchang High-tech Zone. For this teaching class, the elderly couple insists on taking the No. 5 bus every weekend and passing through 20 stops to attend classes in Nanpu Street.
A gleam of light gathered into a flame
<p align="justify "I never thought that I would engage in charity work after retirement. Our family's financial conditions are not good, but Xuehua's persistence and love for charity work moved me," Chen told reporters.
When doing charity work, Wu Xuehua has a special stubbornness. In 1992, the couple were transferred to Nanchang for work. Due to poor performance in the unit, Wu Xuehua was laid off within two years. Eight years after she was laid off, she received a monthly pension of 900 yuan. Even now, the annual pension is only more than 20,000 yuan, but she donates more than 10,000 yuan every year.
In 1998, Wu Xuehua suffered a serious car accident, resulting in disability and sequelae, and often suffered from severe headaches. The hardships in life did not dissipate her enthusiasm for doing charity. On the contrary, she became more dedicated.
When Wu Xueban doesn’t have a headache, JM Escorts goes out to do part-time work during the day. Nursing workers make a lot of money, and they knit sweaters until late at night after work in order to earn some handicraft money and help as many poor students as possible, as well as the elderly and disabled.
When a reporter asked what was the difference between helping children from disadvantaged families make up lessons now and teaching in schools before, the spokesperson said: “The same thing is a responsibility, but the different thing is the mood. Retirement I can also use my spare energy to serve the society and help children get out of trouble, which gives me a feeling of being needed and a sense of accomplishment.”
” Apart from my family, I am also encouraged. Still pregnant. Liao Jinmei, 71 years old this year, lamented the silent power of Wu Xuehua and his wife’s love and contribution to moisturizing things, and participated in helping JieJamaica Sugar‘s sadistic behavior. Liao Jinmei said: “As Teacher Wu goes out to help others, I feel much younger and more powerful.”
A single spark can start a prairie fire. In 2018, Wu Xuehua’s enthusiastic volunteer service team was established, and more students, parents, neighbors, and friends continued to participate. Huang Huiming, a member of the Party Working Committee of Nanpu Street, introduced: “The enthusiastic volunteer service team has grown from a person doing good deeds to a productive one. More than 100 people contributed their love to the society along the way, and a glimmer of light gathered into a flame.
An achievement of confidence. A lifetime of happiness
When talking about their marriage, Wu Xuehua and his wife smiled from ear to ear. Wu Xuehua said: “I am looking for my lover to go fishing with Jiang Taigong – whoever is willing will take the bait.”
In 1973, Wu Xuehua met Chen Yanren. At that time, Chen Yanren only had one yuan and five cents for travel back to Jiujiang, but he had the courage to go to Wu Xuehua’s home in Xingzi County (now a district under the jurisdiction of Lushan City) to propose to her.
If you want to love me forever and grow old with me, just write a promise letter.” After hearing this, Chen Yanren nodded and wrote a promise letter. He kept this promise all his life.
During the long years, Wu Xuehua continued to do charity and went out to take care of his Jamaicans Sugardaddy Chen Yanren took care of her silently and took up the important responsibilities of the family. The financial conditions of the couple have always been poor, and charity work has a lot of expenses. The speaker once did not understand it, but he swallowed it down after saying it several times. He understands that giving love has become the most important part of his wife’s life.
Under the influence of Wu Xuehua and Chen Yanren, the family gets along harmoniously and harmoniously. In 2018, Wu Xuehua’s family won the title of “The Most Beautiful Family in the Country”.
Since then, Wu Xuehua’s progress has not stopped. Although she only attended elementary school for two years, she kept reading and educated herself. One day, her granddaughter said to her: “Grandma, your story is very touching. You can write the story into a book.Spread this love to more people. “Wu Xuehua decided to overcome all difficulties and write her own story by hand.
She gets up at 4 a.m. every morning and uses waste paper and packaging boxes to draft. Due to her weak writing skills, the manuscript progresses slowly After reading “How Steel Was Tempered”, Wu Xuehua was inspired: As long as you work hard, you will succeed. In 2022, a book of more than 600,000 words, “China’s Good People: The Mother of 64 Children”, was published. .
Chen said: “I am grateful to God for giving me a good wife who is responsible, responsible, thrifty and kind, and allows me to bathe my homeJM Escorts With the warmth of my family, I will definitely continue on the path of charity work. ”
Wu Xuehua said: “I have chosen the most difficult path in life, but also the happiest path – doing meritorious deeds throughout my life.” ”
The cold winter knows the east wind is hot, and it is the determination to help others achieve their happiness in life.
With Chen Yanren and Wu Xuehua After the couple shook hands and said goodbye, we walked out of the room. The sun was shining brightly outside, and an old song “What a Big Tree” floated in our ears. Yes, as the lyrics said: “Your mind is in the blue sky.” , secretly hiding in fertile soil.” (Jiangxi Daily All-Media Reporter Lin Yong and Song Sijia)
