Heroes Fighting For Olympic Games Are Expected To Arrive In Beijing On July.

A neat uniform, with two badge badge badge on the chest, the sun was dark, and he sat on the stool in a spirited way. His eyes were watching the stream of people near the famous tourist spot of Qingdao in a glistening view, and warmly received every shoeshine guest from Zhanqiao.

He is the hero whom our reporter visited the Olympic Stadium last week when he visited Qingdao. Zhang Yugui, a contemporary Lei Feng who started his wife's free shoe shining and long march to meet the Olympic Games.

Zhang Yugui, who is already 43 years old this year, is a soldier with a clear and friendly conversation. He recalled the self defense counterattack in the year. He did not want to talk too much. But the two sacred two Medal of merit on the chest betrayed him unpolitely.

As early as in 1984, Zhang Yugui, who was only 19 years old, resolutely decided to join the army and took part in the counterattack of self defense in the border area. Due to his outstanding performance, he was awarded the two grade merit for the two time, and was a real combat hero.

In 1989, Zhang Yugui, 24, retired from his home in glory and returned to his home town of Heze. He worked in the Heze shock absorber factory under the government's arrangement, which was exactly 12 years.

The young man who fought on the battlefield in the past became an ordinary middle-aged man with the passage of time.

But the heart of Zhang Yugui's "no rest" is growing fiercer with age.

After the bankruptcy of enterprises in 2001, Zhang Yugui, who was laid off, decided to devote himself to the shoeshine industry.

By virtue of a tenacity and learning spirit, he quickly became a shoeshine master.

In January 2005, Zhang Yugui, who had been wiping his shoes for 4 years, suddenly decided that all the disabled and elderly people would be free for shoes.

Not only that, he also announced that as long as the country's major festivals are free all day long, as long as customers dare to shine shoes, he dares to be free.

At the same time, in order to publicize the spirit of "doing good things and learning from Lei Feng", Zhang Yugui will spend 10 days a month polishing shoes free of charge.

Few people believed in such a good thing at first. But with Zhang Yugui's silent devotion and a twenty pass, all of Heze knew a "Lei Lei Feng" Zhang Yugui.

What Zhang Yugui and his wife had not thought of was that they had brought bad luck to shoeshine free shoes, and a few businessmen around shoeshine were very dissatisfied with Zhang Yugui's behavior. For this reason, many unidentified people had smashed Zhang Yugui's shoe booth's violence.

Recalling the moment of the smashed stand, Zhang Yugui's wife's expression was painful, and Zhang Yugui, the fighting hero, sighed deeply. After a long time, he finally broke out.

The good man is hard to say.

Repeatedly in the home was smashed up, let Zhang Yugui into confusion, many times, he and his wife all reluctantly asked "do it like this, is it worth it?"

"Why are good people so hard?"

Although the action of advocating Lei Feng spirit was destroyed by a few dangerous people, Zhang Yugui still rekindled his passion and persisted. The source of this power came from the customers he served and the disabled people who were obliged to help.

"At that time, 99% of the people around me helped me. They expressed great indignation at those who broke up the booth. The support of these good people is the driving force for my wife and I to continue to keep shoeshine free."

At that time, when the smashed stand was being helped by the good guys, Zhang Yugui and his wife still had vivid memories.

In August 8, 2008, the Olympic Games will be held in China. Zhang Yugui, who is already 43 years old, feels that he should do something to contribute to the motherland, the Olympic Games and the society.

After several days of thinking, in March 9, 2008, Zhang Yugui formally decided to begin "learning Lei Feng, welcoming the Olympic Games, and shoeshine for free."

For this reason, the Mudan District Civil Administration Bureau sent some articles for daily use when Zhang Yugui and his wife left, and an insurance company also presented an accidental injury insurance worth 100 thousand yuan.

On the day of departure, Zhang Yugui did not bring large bags with only simple shoeshine tools and daily necessities. Among them, a portrait of Lei Feng and Mao Zedong's "propaganda to Comrade Lei Feng" were the most valuable assets.

Without economic resources, shoes can not be free to contribute. Therefore, in the past few years of shoeshine in Heze, it has been frugal, accumulating funds to buy shoe polish and other tools.

After several years of accumulation, we finally managed to save enough money to learn Lei Feng and welcome the Olympic Games for free and polish shoes for thousands of miles. On the way, we only had 30 yuan of cheap hotels, only steamed bread at noon, and vegetable soup in the afternoon, for the dream in the center.

We are very glad that our two daughters are very sensible. The 15 year old eldest daughter is now in junior grade 3, and her 9 year old daughter is in grade four in primary school. They are very supportive of us.

They are sensible when they are young, and know how to cook and wash their clothes at home.

In addition, the Heze government and the local people take care of us, so when we come out, we are not worried that they will not get warm.

We decided to fight for the Olympic Games with free shoeshine. We had a heated argument, but in the end, the wife took the lead in compromise.

She did not understand and understood me to support me.

Though the days will be bitter, we will not regret it at all.

We don't want anything for free shoeshine. Fame and gain are not what we want.

We have only one request for our guests. I hope they will bear in mind Lei Feng's spirit and bring it to life, so that every country in our country is surrounded by the spirit of Lei Feng.

According to the plan, we will arrive at Beijing on the ten day before the Beijing Olympic Games, that is, around the end of July, where there will be free shoeshine activities.

And Beijing is the end of our free shoe polishing. We will witness the Olympic Games there. It will be an exciting moment.

Ever since shoeshine free shoes, Zhang Yugui's life has changed dramatically: praise and suspicion; encouragement and dissuade; laughter, sadness, excitement, grief and indignation.

However, there are four things that Zhang Yugui and his wife are happy to talk about.

Speaking of this, Zhang Yugui was proud of his face. "At that time, the senior official of Brazil, after finishing his shoes, asked his assistant to take out a large stack of money," Zhang Yugui said with a smile. He used his hand to figure out the thickness of at least twenty centimeters. "He gave me the money and said it to me, but I didn't want it, because I didn't shine shoes for free.

As a result, the Brazil high official stretched his thumb excitedly and said that there were no such good people in the world.

In the past few years, a wealthy merchant in Taiwan had come to shine shoes on him, and later he took out a pile of NT dollars to give Zhang Yugui, and deliberately shouted, "this is Taiwan dollar!"

Zhang Yugui raised his head and proudly told Taiwanese businessmen that Taiwan belongs to China and Taiwan dollar belongs to China. I don't want your money. I just want you to go back to Taiwan and carry forward the spirit of reunification of the motherland.

Once Zhang Yugui and his wife were eating in a restaurant. A young man yelled at Zhang Yugui to brush shoes for him. Zhang Yugui maintained his demeanor and said that he would wipe it up immediately after dinner.

However, the young man obviously deliberately made trouble and provoked Lei Feng to talk about what to eat, and hurried over.

Zhang Yugui rose angrily and walked up to the young man to warn the other person. Even if he was studying Lei Feng, he would have to eat enough to drink enough. Then he would have the strength to do things. For those of you, I would never shine shoes for you.

During the free shoeshine, he met Zhang Yugui's comrade in arms, which made Zhang Yugui very excited. "It was two years ago," Zhang Yugui said excitedly. "Those old people were all about 69 years old. They were traveling together from Beijing. When they learned that I was learning Lei Feng, I came to see it in a hurry. When they saw Lei Feng's portrait, they all cried, thinking about the years when they worked with Lei Feng."

Release yourself under the Olympic flag

"Learn from Lei Feng, welcome to the Olympic Games, and polish shoes for free."

In March 2008, Zhang Yugui set out on the road and began a modern version of the long march with a simple faith.

According to the plan, Mr. and Mrs. Zhang Yugui will arrive in Beijing at the end of July, and will start shoeshine free to witness the Olympic Games.

Perhaps you will ask, are you getting on with the Olympics and shoeshine?

At first glance, it doesn't matter.

But listen to what Zhang Yugui said. "For my guests, I have only one request. I hope they will bear in mind Lei Feng's spirit and bring it to life."

In fact, Zhang Yugui's mood is not difficult to understand. The Beijing Olympic Games has aroused the pride of his heart and made him feel he should "do something".

What the hell is going on?

Some people choose to be volunteers, some choose to collect, others choose to create.

In the name of the Olympic Games, it is good for us to release our beautiful emotions and to the people around us. Why not?

The Beijing Olympic torch relay was repeatedly blocked by "Tibetan independence" forces.

As an ordinary person, how should we express our views? What way should we support the Olympic Games?

This is a problem everyone must face.

Maybe you would say, QQ, MSN hung up, boycott XXX...

Maybe all of this is true, but Zhang Yugui's story tells us that in addition to boycott, you have other options.

The Olympic Games have always been linked to peace rather than confrontation. The Olympic Charter once wrote that the Olympic Games are competitions between athletes in individual or group competitions, not between countries. The Olympic Games are aimed at promoting world peace and are independent of politics.
