At ten o'clock in the evening on December 17, 2023, the streets of Shanxi were hit by a cold wave, and the city was covered with snow. In the cold wind, the old man of about sixty years old held an old wheelbarrow and a rudimentary rope in his hand, and persistently struggled to move forward on the snow. The trolley was littered with some discarded scrap.
The old man struggled to swing his steps through the snow, and each step required a great deal of effort. The snow fell on his face, but he still resolutely continued to move forward in the face of the wind and snow, as if he never cared about the bitter cold weather.
This scene touched many passers-by. People stopped and reached out to give the old man some help. They pushed carts for the elderly, wiped the snow and asked with concern if they needed additional help. The old man shook his head firmly, indicating that he could handle it. Although he was thinly dressed, the old man always maintained his strength and independence.
A small car stopped on the side of the road, and a young man walked down from the car, the old man did not have a mobile phone, the young man handed the old man cash, and paused again when he turned around to leave. Then there was a heartwarming scene, this young man and the old man side by side to help pull the waste forward, although there are not many roads, but I believe that there are young men at this intersection, and thousands of others at the next intersection, this scene warmed the whole winter.
This story teaches us that we should pay attention to the people around us, especially those in need, whenever and wherever we are. Let's reach out together, spread love and warmth, and make this world a better place.
