On September 8th, August 13th in the lunar calendar. Early in the morning, 64 elderly people were looking forward to the visits of "old neighbors" in the elderly activity center of Xinfeng Town, Dafeng Town, Yancheng City, Jiangsu Province.

At more than 8 o'clock, a van drove into the yard and removed the eight treasure porridge, lotus seed porridge, walnut dew, moon cake, bread, 200 catties of catfish, old duck just killed ... The 81 -year -old Zou Guifang One family. Since the completion of the old home in 1995, she has given the old people a Mid -Autumn Festival gift every year. Twenty -two years ago, Zou Guifang and her husband moved to the United States. The heavy responsibility fell on her son He Juncheng and grandson He Xiaojing. It is the cross -ocean relay of the three generations that the "Mid -Autumn Festival" for 27 years has never been interrupted.

27 years ago, opposite the road of Zou Guifang's small shop, Xinfeng was newly settled in Xinfeng Town. When the weather is good, the old people like to talk to the sun in front of the shop. Zou Guifang learned that at that time, the 12 elderly people in the nursing home were mostly five -guarantee households in the surrounding towns and villages, which were supported by the country. After being familiar with each other, Zou Guifang had a compassion for the old people. When she reached the Mid -Autumn Festival and the Spring Festival, she carried a big bag from her own shop to the elderly home.

In 2000, Zou Guifang and her husband moved to the United States with their daughter. The old people who had the old home before leaving became her biggest concern. She solemnly instructed the eldest son He Juncheng: "If you earn too much, you will send more, and you will send less if you earn less, but you have to visit the elderly every Mid -Autumn Festival and the Spring Festival." In the state, she did not forget to call her son "to do this."

In February 2020, after the Zou Guifang couple returned to Yancheng to attend the wedding of Sun Tzu He Xiaojing, they had been living with their children and grandchildren. During this period, she and her grandson had two trips to the nursing home, but due to the closed management of the nursing home, she failed to enter the inspection. In November of this year, Zou Guifang was about to return to the United States. Before leaving, he went to the home for the elderly to see the old neighbors, which became a great wish.

"For so many years, I have never met. The elderly people who respect the elderly do not know or not know me?" Zou Guifang was a little embarrassed before departure.

"I met this old lady. Twenty years ago, she sent me a hundred dollars of red tickets!" As soon as she entered the event center, Zou Guifang was recognized at a glance. The 60 -year -old Chen Ruigang stepped forward to hold Zou Guifang's hand excitedly: "I am Xinfeng, you are also Xinfeng, you are my loved ones!"

Chen Ruigang was stimulated by the college entrance examination when he was young. He lived in the nursing home in his forties, and he met Zou Guifang. Once Zou Guifang returned from the United States to visit relatives and gave 100 yuan to the elderly, Chen Ruigang still remembered this to this day.

"Old lady, do you still know me?" Cai Lanqin, a social worker of the old home, also surrounded. In 2002, Zou Guifang returned to visit relatives and found that the nursing home had moved. She and her husband found the new site of the nursing home, and sent 100 yuan to the old people for each "New Year's money", which was issued by Cai Lanqin to help. "At that time, the nursing home of Xinfeng Town and the nursing home of Longdi Town. The new dean did not know you. I didn't know who it was doing good deeds, I knew it was an old American lady!"

"Yes, there is such a thing." The old man Zou Guifang and Cai Lan piano recalled the past, said with a smile, and then wet his eyes. On the side, the staff were busy distributing materials, and the home for the elderly was full of festive atmosphere and strong tenderness.

Yang Lijiang, Dean of Xinfeng Town, introduced that in 2009, the four nursing homes were merged into one, and he came to be the dean. Over the years, every Mid -Autumn Festival and the Spring Festival, the family has never been absent. "The projection equipment of the activity center is also sent by them. They can put movies and enrich the cultural life of the elderly."

Zou Guifang's good deeds still experienced from their own experience. Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, her father and elder brother went to Taiwan. After she lost her and her mother, she grew up with her grandparents. When he met his mother again, his mother had been placed in a home for the elderly. After immigrating to the United States on the other side of the Strait, he always wanted to find a mainland loved ones. In the 1980s, with the help of the People's Government of Dafeng County, the elder brother finally fulfilled his dream of visiting relatives, but unfortunately, his mother was in the past year. In 2001, the elder brother was seriously ill in Chicago. At the time of dying, the elder brother pulled Zou Guifang's hand and said that the "parental official" of the mainland was really good. It was exactly that they sent me to the city government to meet you, and our brothers and sisters were able to reunite with flesh. You have to do more good deeds in the future! "Old and old and old", in recent years, 81 -year -old Zou Guifang has always insisted on doing good deeds and helping others. She has hundreds of pots of flowers at the door of the United States and Dafeng's house. If the neighbors like it, they can get it casually; during the Spring Festival, she wrote hundreds of Spring Festival couplets for neighbors; during the epidemic, she went to the supermarket to send you a mask ... "Help Other people walk well, sleep well, and have more open -minded hearts. "Zou Guifang's simple words told the meaning of" gifted people roses, with a fragrance of incense ". The bean horn and peanuts that are often not known at the door of the house are also the support and love of the neighbors of the family who insist on doing good.

The mother's good behavior, in He Juncheng's heart, planted the seeds of charity. With the expansion of the supermarket operation scale at home, he has also expanded the scope of respect for the elderly. Footprints are all over the district's Xinfeng, Jinsun, Fang Qiang, Longdi and other places. family. Today, his son He Xiaojing has also joined the ranks of charity. The father and son donated more than 1.3 million yuan in more than 20 years.

In the living room of the Hejia, there is a banner "Family Style inheritance", which is hung by Zou Guifang's handwriting, and "doing good things and doing good people" is the family style of He's family. In April this year, He Juncheng was rated as "Jiangsu Good Man". In August, He Xiaojing was rated as "Dafeng Good Man". They and more colleagues joined the team of charity. On August 31, at the Eighth Congress of the Jiangsu Overseas Chinese Federation, the "He Father and Son of He and his son" was passed on. Among them, He Juncheng won the "Outstanding Personal Nomination Award in Jiangsu Province", which was the only one in northern Jiangsu.

In 27 years, more than 300 months are missing. The nursing home of Xinfeng Town has gone through four relocation, and the old people come and come again, but the concern of Mrs. Zou and the whole family about the elderly, but they are afraid of wind and rain, pass through time, soothe people.
