The power of one person is very small.
But perseverance is a flag.
The power of one person is very small.
But the glimmer of light is a beacon of light.
The power of one person is very small.
But if you don't forget your original intention, you can warm a city.
When I was young, I was running around for my children and family, and now that I am still clear-eyed, I want to contribute to the country and give back to society. Wang Guirong, 76 years old this year, couldn't help but shed tears when talking to reporters about emotion, "As long as I can still move, I will always persevere."
In the community of Longyueyuan District 3 of Longzeyuan Street, there is such a resident - Wang Guirong, who has been volunteering for residents to get haircuts for 16 years since 2007. The residents of the community know that there is such a good neighbor who has good skills, loves life, and is positive and optimistic.
Wang Guirong. Skillful, pennyless.
Asking me for a haircut is a recognition of me."
In 1980, Wang Guirong studied beauty salons with her apprentice, and while she learned the technique, she helped her neighbors get haircuts for free, and later, she opened a barber shop in her hometown in Liaoning Province. In 1996, she settled in Beijing and opened a store in Wudaokou, which was well received by the surrounding people because of her good technology, affordable and warm and thoughtful service. "Students from nearby universities often come and they compliment me on my skills. Wang Guirong is very proud of his haircutting skills.

In 2007, after retirement, Wang Guirong chose to become a volunteer hairdresser, "After retirement, I can't lose my skills, I want to do more for the society." After that, she moved to live in the community of Longyueyuan District 3 and continued to engage in the public welfare undertakings of barber volunteers, she not only volunteered haircuts for her neighbors in the community, but also warmly received residents from the surrounding communities.

On average, once a month, Wang Guirong will notify the time and place in the community WeChat group in advance, and she chooses to set up a paving in the small community square in the morning, "The time to inform residents is from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m., when the weather temperature is just right, and nearly 20 people can come every time." Because of the large number of people, she often delayed until 12 o'clock, "Since people trust my craft, I can't let them down, no matter how late I will finish the haircut for the last resident."

The neighbors were often satisfied, and sometimes she had to give Wang Guirong money, but she resolutely refused. "I just want to do good deeds and give free services to my neighbors, how can I collect money. ”
In the past 16 years, Wang Guirong has never received a penny for voluntary haircuts, and during the Chinese New Year, a neighbor sent home-grown vegetables, but she couldn't push it to accept it. "There are old people who have only come to me for haircuts in recent years, and I feel embarrassed not to give some gifts, in fact, I really didn't want to reciprocate, people only came to me for haircuts, which is a great recognition for me."

At the end of each haircut, she sweeps the floor clean, bringing beauty to the residents while keeping the community environment clean. "The community is very supportive of my work and has equipped me with an electric fader, and now I can fully charge both faders before getting a haircut, so I don't have to worry about running out of power in the middle of work." Wang Guirong told reporters that when the weather warms up in two days, she plans to organize another voluntary haircut in the community.
Enthusiastic about public welfare, take the initiative to ask for help.
The love of life is reflected in every aspect.
There are several elderly people in the community who have difficulty moving, and after Wang Guirong learned about them, he took them as a key service object and provided door-to-door haircut services.
An 80-year-old resident used to need her child to help her get to the nearest barber shop in the community for a haircut, but her child was too busy with work to come often. After Wang Guirong learned of this situation, every time he volunteered to get a haircut, he informed the old man in advance, "Don't go out in the future, I will take care of the haircut, if you don't want to go downstairs, I will go to your house to cut your fresh and beautiful hairstyle." It solves the dilemma of the elderly who are difficult to get a haircut, and the elderly and their families are very grateful.
Wang Guirong gave the elderly a haircut.
Whether it is daily life or major festivals, as long as the community recruits volunteers, Wang Guirong actively participates.
For example, she has never been absent from activities such as public welfare haircuts for the elderly, caring for the elderly, and community co-construction of public welfare haircuts. At a public welfare event, she actually met an old customer when she opened a store in Wudaokou, and the two talked happily: "I haven't seen each other for more than 10 years, I didn't expect to meet again under such a coincidence, it's really fate", and the old customer also sighed: "I didn't expect the barber aunt I was looking for now has become a volunteer haircut celebrity."
Serve as a volunteer.
During the epidemic, considering that it was inconvenient for residents to go out for haircuts, the community invited her to give residents a haircut, and she agreed without hesitation. Every month or two, she took the initiative to consult the needs of residents in the community WeChat group, put on masks and gloves, do a good job of disinfection and sanitization and other protective measures, and organize a voluntary haircut. During the same period, she served as a volunteer, checking the pass and taking the temperature at the entrance of the community every day, and insisted on the first pass of community safety.
When the community was on duty before the implementation of garbage sorting bins, Wang Guirong took the initiative to sign up and serve as the team leader of the southwest gate of the community. She is conscientious and responsible, regardless of whether she has her own shift or not, insists on patrolling the garbage cans at the southwest gate every day, distributing tools to everyone, cheering for her partners, and solving the difficulties and ...... encounteredUnder her leadership, the team on duty in front of the garbage sorting bin at the southwest gate has become a united and active collective.

I organized a Yangko team with retired seniors in the community. Wang Guirong told reporters that everyone learns new dances together, which not only exercises their bodies but also enriches their spare time. This Yangge team, with its golden and splendid fans and rhythmic dancing, shows their love for life and optimistic spirit.

I am grateful for the happy life I have now, and I want to do my best to give back to the country and society. Wang Guirong said sincerely, she thought, although her own strength is small, but through her own actions to drive the residents around her to do good deeds together, Longze home will become happier and better.
