Receive blessing words, share candy, and send blessings ...... New Year's greetingsOn February 9, the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, a special Chinese New Year's Eve dinner initiated by the Xingtai Student Welfare Association was warmly opened. More than 70 elderly people who have lost their independence were invited to gather at the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, and Xingtai public welfare photographer Zhang Qinghe focused his lens on them and gave the elderly warm companionship. Of course, there are two other people who make Zhang Qinghe worry about them, and they will also reunite in this reunion.
Twelve-year-old Wang Zihan also came, wearing a new purple coat, white shoes and red socks, which were gifts from caring people. This time, it was her grandmother who accompanied her down the mountain, and they came from Hutuo Village, Longquansi Township, Xindu District, Xingtai City. When she was very young, her family suddenly changed, leaving her to live with her grandparents. Since then, Zhang Qinghe, a photographer who is enthusiastic about public welfare, has been following her growth. In 2019, with Zhang Qinghe's efforts, Zhao Geping of Xingtai Student Welfare Association joined the "Love Relay", and since then, Wang Zihan has another "caring grandmother" who cares about her.
In order to see the little Zihan he had missed for a long time, Zhao Geping rushed to the scene early, and after greeting Zhang Qinghe, he looked around for the little girl. Since the pairing, Zhao Geping has visited the child in the mountains every year, and will also pick her up to stay at home for a few days when the child is on vacation. "I wanted to go to see Zihan after the Spring Festival, but I couldn't wait, so I took the child over for a reunion dinner. ”
