Yu Peiying, who lives in Daliang, Shunde, began to support students in poor mountainous areas after retirement. Since 1994, * * * has sponsored 19 students, two of whom went to college. After his wife got lung cancer in 2003, he still squeezed out money to buy books for students and built a library named after him in a remote primary school in Zizhou County, Shaanxi Province.
Deep support complex
1957 Yu Peiying graduated from the Chinese Department of Sun Yat-sen University and was assigned to teach in Wenzhou, Zhejiang with her classmate Guan Yuling. Guan Yuling is from Guangzhou and Yu Peiying is from Shunde. They got married on 1959 and didn't return to Shunde to teach until 1979. Yu Peiying is obsessed with Wenzhou's worldly wisdom.
1992, 60-year-old Yu Peiying retired from Shunde Normal School and worked as a proofreader in a local newspaper. Once he happened to see the introduction of "Project Hope" in the newspaper, and funding 300 yuan could help a primary school student finish primary school. His mind moved and he immediately sent the subsidy form. He applied for financial aid for two first-grade pupils in mountainous areas of Zhejiang Province: Xue Yalin in Taishun County and Zhao Danhong in wencheng county. Writing letters, sending money and books to children became the habit of Yu Peiying, and the two formed an indissoluble bond.
At the beginning of May 2004, Yu Peiying went to Shanghai's nephew's house for a wedding reception and decided to visit two children. At that time, he was 72 years old. Forty years ago, he taught a student to drive to "escort" him to find Xue Yalin, a aided student.
Seeing the kind grandfather standing in front of him in the letter, the shy Xue Yalin blushed and could not speak. Because both her parents went out to work, she had to stay at home and study with her brother. They live in the country, and their house is a simple wooden house.
15 From Taishun and Wencheng in Zhejiang to Taibus Banner in Inner Mongolia and Zizhou County in Shaanxi to Mianyang in Sichuan and Heyuan in Guangdong, the number of students sponsored by Yu Peiying increased from 194 to 19 in 2008. Two years ago, aided students Xue Yalin and Zhao Danhong were admitted to the university.
Build a library
In an old notebook with worn skin, Yu Peiying recorded the correspondence with children for more than 10 years, and each aided student had a special page record.
In order to broaden children's horizons, Yu Peiying often sends them books, and he collects all the books that are beneficial to children. When reading the newspaper, I found that all my classmates had written good compositions or some touching stories. Yu Peiying will carefully cut out the articles and send them to the children.
In 2005, Yu Peiying read in the newspaper that the fourth "I love reading" essay contest was about to be held in Guangzhou. He immediately wrote to several children with good writing style, encouraging them to give it a try. Zhao Danhong, who was studying in Huzhou at that time, wrote back and promised to take part in the competition. He immediately went to the bookstore to buy some writing books and sent them to her. Zhao Danhong also lived up to expectations and won the third place in the essay competition. Yu Peiying specially kept the newspaper that published the winners' list in the newspaper as a souvenir.
In poor mountainous areas, it is a luxury for students to buy extracurricular books. Since helping students, Yu Peiying has spent about 150 yuan on buying and delivering books to children on average every month. Su Lulu, a student of Brick Temple Central Primary School in Zizhou County, Shaanxi Province, has five brothers and sisters. She wrote that she never had money to buy books. Yu Peiying listed her as a "poor object" and gave her priority when delivering books every month. In the past six years, he sent hundreds of books to several students in Zhuanmiao Central Primary School. Cao Jingxing, the principal of the school, was deeply moved. He wrote a thank-you letter to Yu Peiying, proposing to collect all the books distributed to students and set up a "Peiying Library".
In order to "enrich" the children's stacks, Yu Peiying personally bought a batch of books and sent some of his own books. Soon after, he received a photo of the library from the headmaster: in a dilapidated cave, the books he gave to the students were neatly arranged, and the children looked at the books hungrily. He always comforted, "What is more enjoyable than reading?"
Yu Peiying was a student of 15 years, but he never published his story. But everyone in the post office near his home knows him. "Teacher Yu? He often sends money and books to poor students in mountainous areas, but he is not used to not seeing him three or two times a week. "
Although his wife is ill, her support remains unchanged.
At the end of 2002, Yu Peiying's wife Guan Yuling was diagnosed with lung cancer during physical examination. When the disease struck, Yu Peiying's life was cast a shadow. In the last three months, my wife has been taking a medicine called "Iressagefitinib Tablets" every day to extend her life. Take one pill for 520 yuan and one pill every day. Taking medicine by moonlight costs more than RMB 1000. Their pensions add up to less than medical expenses, and they have to rely on their children and relatives for help.
After learning that Jenny was ill, she often wrote to persuade Teacher Yu not to send them any more money, but Yu Peiying never forgot the students, and still managed to squeeze out about 100 yuan every month to buy and send books to the students.
Mr. Yu and his wife supported each other for 50 years. Although his wife knows that Mr. Yu often sends books to students, she never interferes. She didn't know that Yu Peiying also sponsored a large group of students. In 2006, a media reporter came to visit. After learning that she was helping students, she didn't complain about him. His wife died at the end of 2007. After the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008, Yu Peiying learned that the Municipal Women's Federation had raised funds for the reconstruction of kindergartens in disaster areas. He donated RMB 10000 in the name of himself and his wife respectively. "If my wife were here, she would certainly support me in doing so." Teacher Yu said.
Strangers ask for help "help as much as you can"
Due to the poor educational conditions in mountainous areas, it is only an extravagant hope to require every subsidized child to go to college. Of the 19 children sponsored by Yu Peiying, only two have been admitted to universities at present, and many students have lost contact when they go out to work after graduating from junior high school. But Yu Peiying didn't give up. "The students have tried their best. They learn more and live a good life, which is a reward for me and society. "
Since September 2008, Yu Peiying has successively registered and sponsored students from two primary schools in Nanxiong, Guangdong and Xingtan, Shunde. Yu Peiying treasures the photos and letters sent to him by the children. In the photo, the little girl wears a simple school uniform and smiles like a simple dandelion.
Once, he received a letter from Xiaolan, a student in Zizhou County, Shaanxi Province. At that time, she had just been admitted to the university, and the expensive tuition made her very helpless. "Uncle Yu, I take the liberty to bother you. We know that you are a kind person. Please help me. " Yu Peiying read the letter carefully, wrote back and asked her to show her school certificate and family poverty certificate, and remitted her 2000 yuan at one time. This strange help is not limited to Xiao Lan.
Yu Peiying officially registered the student 19, but there are nearly 50 students on the register. "Some students know my home address through friends or teachers and classmates, and also write for help. I can help if I can help. "
It is reported that Xiaomei is now teaching in a local middle school. She wrote to Yu Peiying and said, "I want to help people like you." Xiaolan has been working in a local telecommunications company since graduation; Another "bold" helper is obviously still studying clinical medicine in a university in Xi 'an. Yu Peiying is glad that he helped them. "For me, it's just a little money, but for children, it can change their lives."
"For all children, for all children, for all children!" Yu Peiying's notebook is marked with his words of assistance. The title page is Lenin's motto: "Say less beautiful words and do more ordinary things." He is practicing.
◆ Real dialogue
Help one by one.
Reporter: Since you sponsored the first student, you have sponsored so many students. Have you ever thought about subsidizing so many students?
Yu Peiying: I didn't have any thoughts at that time, but I was distressed that they didn't have books to read. I want to help them, and I help them one by one.
Reporter: You are 77 years old. Why don't you consider yourself?
Yu Peiying: I only use part of my money to help students. I won't be broke. I'm not there yet. I try my best to help some people, that's all.
◆ Reporter's Notes
Love and hope, voice and hope.
Yu Peiying is 77 years old. Since 1994, he has never counted how many students he sponsored and how many books he sent. In 2006, Foshan held a selection activity of "Touching Foshan and Helping the Poor". When he took the bus, he occasionally saw a publicity form and automatically signed himself up. In 2008, he participated in the selection of the second "Shunde Good Man" activity. He bent his finger and said, "This is my fourth interview with the media.". "I don't want to be famous. Because I like to participate in various activities, I recommend myself. It is also good to help more people in activities. " Silently helping students 15 years, his consciousness and unconsciousness also show love.
