Shoemaker Torch Bearer: Meng Guangbin

In the campus of Harbin Normal University, nobody seems to know Meng Guangbin's name.

The reporter was interested in looking for a number of students to inquire about where he was, and everyone was able to respond, and some of them were also actively providing "answers" to journalists.

Who is Meng Guangbin?

The National May 1 Medal of labor medal, the outstanding communist party member of the province, the ten outstanding young people in the province, and the moving figures of Harbin, he also has an important status -- the shoemaker.

Walking into Meng Guangbin's office in Harbin Normal University, you will be surprised to be unable to shut your mouth. The walls of the less than 10 square meter cottage are covered with reports of Meng Guangbin's deeds and various awards presented by Meng Guangbin.

Of course, the largest of them is the portrait of Lei Feng.

"Don't worry about broken shoes," Guang Bin said.

Lei Feng's spirit is always in mind to help each other in life.

In 1988, a poor college student sent shoes repaired to deeply hurt Meng Guangbin's heart.

From that day on, Meng Guangbin, who had not been able to read because of poverty, made a decision that he could not afford to repair shoes for poor college students, the elderly and the disabled.

Over the years, he has always insisted on going to the nursing homes, orphanages, armed police forces and other places to repair shoes.

Moreover, he has donated money to hope projects, poor college students and orphans for many times.

When the reporter asked him if he saw how the other torchbearers on TV were running, Meng Guangbin told reporters, "I saw it on the neighbor's TV."

"Why don't you see it at home?"

"My family doesn't have a TV."

Does Meng Guangbin have no money?

Yes, but he is not poor.

There are two thick books in his shoe repair shop, which are full of messages from his shoe mending men.

"Your spirit is what we need for a harmonious society", "we are graduating soon, but the four years of college life left me the deepest impression on you."

Meng Guangbin said, this is his greatest wealth, but also their family's biography of Jiabao.

He is going to pass this on to his son and daughter.
