At 8 o'clock last night, at a shoe repair booth in front of a pharmacy in the north gate of Hongyuan new district, Jianye District, Nanjing, there were still five or six people waiting in line to repair shoes.

The customers said that Zhao Shifu, who repaired shoes, was a disabled person. He worked overtime every day to help the younger brother who broke his leg in the accident, so we were moved to take care of his business.

At the age of 17, Zhao declared that he had come to Nanjing alone, and rented a 8 square meter house in the Hongyuan community of Jianye district. He had put on a shoe repair stand for 20 years.

Over the years, as long as the disabled or over 70 years old have come to repair shoes, he will not accept them.

Lao Zhao said he had to repair forty or fifty pairs of shoes every day, and 20 years' shoes could be loaded with several trucks.

Diligence and kindness win sweet love.

Zhao declared that he could safely repair shoes in the street because he had a good wife in his family.

7 years ago, the disabled shoemaker met a healthy working girl at the first sight, and finally had a spark of love.

One night 7 years ago, Lao Zhao finished his work and went to a nearby small restaurant for dinner. There was a waiter named Lu who was just his fellow townsman. The two people chatted for a while, and the other side admired him for his disability.

"At that time, she was only 22 years old. She often came to my shoes to repair shoes, and chatted with me every time, and then we had feelings. It was said that the two of us were still in first love."

Lao Zhao said that in the winter of that year, Ms. Lu moved his luggage to his cabin, and the two began a sweet life.

Over the years, my wife has been working as a part-time worker outside and meticulously cares for him.

Nearby residents said he was a blessing from previous generations.
