In this lively city, the streets are full of people and pedestrians are hurrying along. Some people are running back and forth for their families, some people have just stepped into society and started to make a living for themselves, and some people have difficulty even providing food and clothing.
On a street in Huainan, Anhui Province, there is an idiot who stands out, sitting there and singing happily, and when passers-by pass by, he just greets him with a smile, as if completely immersed in his own little world.
However, this homeless man is not the same beggar as we imagine in our hearts. Other beggars usually only know how to beg people for alms incessantly, believing that the more they get, the better. However, he turned out to be an extraordinary tramp, and many people praised him as a "philanthropist". Why, then, would anyone praise him as a "philanthropist"?Let's find out.
Alone, helpless, and unsupported.
Xie Haishun, a beggar, was nicknamed "Xie Fool" because when he was young, his father died tragically, and his mother became insane and delirious all day long.
The young Xie Haishun must have been frightened to see his mother like that, but gradually he also realized that he spent almost all of his time taking care of his mother except for school hours.
When his mother was seriously ill, he sometimes hit Xie Haishun, but Xie Haishun did not fight back every time, but comforted his mother, because he knew that the mother who gave birth to him had no ill will towards him no matter what.
Xie Haishun has always been like this, he has never changed his treatment of his mother, and he has taken care of his mother for many years. Xie Haishun's school tuition was borne by his aunt, and after his mother fell ill, his aunt saw his poor situation and offered to sponsor him to go to college.
Xie Haishun was so excited that he hugged his aunt and cried for a while, his only thought at that time was to study hard and repay his aunt when he grew up.
Xie Haishun was about to enter high school in the blink of an eye, and although his family lived in the countryside, the school was more than ten kilometers away. Although Xie Haishun could have chosen to board a homestay, he had a mother to take care of at home, so he resolutely decided to choose day school.
Xie Haishun walks for at least two hours every day to reach the school, and the roads in the countryside are bumpy, especially in winter, when they are covered in heavy snow, making it easy to slip. However, instead of complaining, he thought that this would help him exercise and strengthen his body so that he could take care of his sick mother.
Xie Haishun achieved quite good grades in high school and ranked high in his class. The teacher often praised him, learned about his family situation and gave him special attention.
It was then that Xie Haishun met his first love, and the two often studied together, and they agreed to be admitted to the same university. Xie Haishun thought that his life would pass uneventfully, but the world was unpredictable, and Xie Haishun faced setbacks again.
The college entrance examination is approaching, and the two are struggling to get into the university they have always dreamed of. However, at this moment, Xie Haishun's girlfriend made a request, asking if he could let Xie Haishun make room for others.
She was worried that if she didn't get admitted and Xie Haishun did, he might abandon her, so for the sake of her future and the future life of the two, Xie Haishun had no choice but to agree.
During the college entrance examination, Xie Haishun deliberately skipped a few questions, and was admitted to an ordinary undergraduate college. However, the school's tuition fees are quite expensive, which makes Xie Haishun worried.
Although Xie Haishun is happy that his girlfriend was admitted to the university of his choice, he still has some regret and envy in his heart.
Twinerope picks the weak parts, while bad luck picks those who are unlucky. At this time, Xie Haishun's mother was also seriously ill and needed a large amount of medical expenses. Therefore, Xie Haishun had to take out his own tuition fees to ** his mother first.
Xie Haishun's mood instantly fell into a trough, because at that time, Xie Haishun's girlfriend's parents learned of his family situation, resolutely opposed the relationship between the two, and kept hitting him.
Xie Haishun's girlfriend ignored him after he went to college, which made Xie Haishun's heart almost collapse. At this time, Xie Haishun's mother died, and his last faith was shattered.
After being mentally suppressed and stimulated, Xie Haishun fell into a state of madness, sometimes acting normal, sometimes falling into madness, and being emotionally unstable all day long. Since then, the nickname "Xie Fool" has been widely circulated.
Xie Haishun stayed at home all day to take care of his mother, so he had completely given up on the hope of going to college. In his sober years, he would go out in search of work to support his family.
Xie Haishun finally got his wish and found a job where he could engrave seals. At first, he just stood silently and observed, but gradually, the master of the engraving began to notice him and asked if he was interested in learning. Xie Haishun immediately agreed without hesitation.
Although Xie Haishun looks a little sluggish, he works very neatly. The speed and accuracy with which he carved his seals was so high that he made almost no mistakes. After completing his studies, he bought his own stamp engraving tools and started his own business by setting up a street stall.
Xie Haishun has a rule when selling seals, that is, he does not accept money from people surnamed Xie, which is undoubtedly a very benevolent way of trading.
However, selling stamps alone is not enough to subsidize the household. Xie Haishun also went around picking up scrap in exchange for money. By then, he was almost 40 years old, and at the same time, his mother had passed away at that time.
Xie Haishun is really in despair now, he has lost the motivation to make money, and can only beg around, but his behavior is always different.
He would accept the initial penny or two cents, and when it became ten or twenty, he would even ask for a few dollars, which confused everyone.
As stupid as he may seem, he isn't stupid on the inside. He can distinguish between right and wrong, knows how to be grateful, and will remember everyone who has helped him. Whenever he met them again, he always greeted them warmly. However, one day, an event changed his fate forever......
Half a hundred years, finally got a room.
Winter is approaching and the temperature is plummeting, so Xie Haishun decides to go under the bridge to search for shabby clothes to keep out the cold in order to withstand the severe cold. In the dim light, he suddenly heard bursts of crying.
Xie Haishun immediately rummaged through and found a baby who seemed to be only one or two months old lying in a cardboard box, Xie Haishun felt pity and immediately took it home.
Neighbors persuaded him to send the child to an adoption home, but he couldn't tolerate the pain of others because he was drenched in too much rain. He was determined to raise this child and let him grow up healthy.
Maybe God took pity on Xie Haishun, and when he was begging, he met a woman.
Because he was wearing tattered clothes, his disabled body looked thin and weak, as if he hadn't eaten for several days. Out of compassion, Xie Haishun gave her some food, and the two sympathized with each other, so they got married.
Xie Haishun has worked hard for most of his life and finally has his own home. He cherishes this hard-won happiness very much, so he constantly goes out to beg and collect scrap, just to let his wife and daughter live a life of food and clothing.
Xie Haishun originally adopted a daughter, thinking that it would be enough. However, he later adopted seven more children, most of whom were seriously ill or disabled.
Many people don't understand Xie Haishun's approach, they think he is full. However, he didn't care about other people's opinions, but raised these children well.
The child grew up day by day, and the days passed day by day, Xie Haishun felt extremely gratified. However, God always seems to be ruthless, as if there is some kind of law, there will always be bad things that follow.
Three of the eight children he adopted were born with diseases that died because they were not treated in time.
Xie Haishun felt very sad and deeply guilty at the same time, he accused himself of not fulfilling his responsibility to raise his children, and he was not able to raise them enough.
He was glad that his adopted eldest daughter and second daughter were adults and married, and they would go home to visit him every festival, which made Xie Haishun feel that this half of his life was meaningful.
Not only did he adopt a child, but he also made a generous gesture - donations, which made countless people admire him.
The cutest group of the elderly.
In 2008, the whole country was shocked by Wenchuan Da**. Xie Haishun also learned the news and immediately had an idea - to donate money to the disaster area.
Maybe people will be confused, how can a person living in such poverty, Xie Haishun have the idea of donating?Yet he was a man of love, quietly giving to others and never complaining.
Xie Haishun has always been actively involved in donations to disaster areas in the future, and even once in order to donate, he actually took out his own subsistence allowance and his daughter's living expenses for him, even if his daughter dissuaded him many times, he did not move.
Although Xie Haishun's donation is not rich, it contains his kindness and great love. Someone recorded that he donated at least 15 times with a total of 4,000 yuan in bonuses.
Chen Yuqin, the director of the Huainan Red Cross Society, called Xie Haishun "the cutest old man" after learning about his deeds. There is no doubt that Xie Haishun has worked hard all his life, but he has always put others in his heart, and his noble qualities are worth learning from each of us.
His act of kindness touched many people, and then attracted the attention of many and was made into a documentary.
In 2013, Xie Haishun was plagued by a series of diseases, his body was already unbearable, and even his eyes suffered from cataracts. It is touching that Hefei Purui Eye Hospital is willing to provide him with ** free of charge.
Xie Haishun's eyes have been almost completely **, perhaps because of the development of medical technology and the superb medical skills of the doctors.
Xie Haishun is already 79 years old, when he is 7020. His wife is deceased, and he suffers from a variety of high-risk diseases such as respiratory failure and cerebral infarction, and the hospital has issued critical illness notices several times.
Good deeds are rewarded, even if he suffered such a serious illness, Xie Haishun was not defeated. After several emergencies**, he was safely discharged from the hospital, and then placed in a nursing home, where he spent his old age happily.
Xie Haishun maintains his inner purity and kindness in this materialistic society, showing the brilliance of human nature. I hope that the lovely old man Xie Haishun will be in good health and live a long life.
