A Disabled Old Man In Xinxiang

An old man with crutches

On the afternoon of May 20th, a man with crutches and a man with a disability carried a huge woven bag and panted to the newspaper department.

As soon as he entered the room, the man dropped the craft straw sandals on the floor and said, "I'll sell the money at random, and I will donate money to the people in the disaster area to help them rebuild their homes."

Hearing this, the reporter was working around.

Why does the disabled man come to the newspaper for sale?

This is the day before.

In the afternoon of May 19th, a disabled man staggered to the newspaper office for help. He hoped that reporters would help sell the craft sandals he had personally woven, and then donate his income to the people in the disaster area.

According to the man, in May 18th, he set up a stall at the pedestrian street in our city, and put all the shoes sold into the donation box nearby.

When he sold shoes again the next day, he was driven by the city management staff. Some people said that the donation activity was over.

"It's hard to carry the grass shoes back to the market, so we can't go back home again."

The man came to our newspaper for help.

In the interview, the reporter wanted to know more about the man's condition, but he refused to disclose his name, address and personal circumstances.

He said the most sentence is: "I eat the country, drink the country, now the country is difficult, I should do so..."

The man's action was infected with the editorial staff of this newspaper, and everyone immediately rushed to buy straw sandals.

Before leaving, he left all his shoe money to the newspaper and asked reporters to donate.

In accordance with the agreement with reporters, in the afternoon of May 20th, he came back to the newspaper with 20 pairs of straw sandals (pictured).

In just 10 minutes, craft straw shoes were sold out.

"You help me to donate the money, I leave, do not sneak with me......"

The man limped away from the newspaper with his crutches on his hand, and his every action was infected by every journalist present.

After investigation by reporters, he learned that the man was surnamed Guo, who is 43 years old and Huixian city.

Because of the severe rheumatoid arthritis during the teenage years, the operation was particularly difficult. The straw sandals were handmade by him for more than 20 hours.

His daily life depends entirely on the monthly allowance of 30 yuan minimum allowances issued by the state.
