25 years of love relay, this group of enthusiastic Wuhan people helped the deaf people find "home"

On the evening of the 10th, the bright barbecue restaurants in Jiyuqiao Street, Wuchang District entered the busiest time.

The menu was delivered to the back kitchen. Master Chen was equipped with good dishes and compared with the small finger, middle finger, and thumb, chef Li Zhicheng began to bake. Soaking, putting on the shelves, turning, the tip of the skewers leaned slightly to the stove, and the meat skewers that were sticking to it at first shake. Brush cumin, sprinkle pepper noodles, sesame seeds, in one go ...

Today is the Mid -Autumn Festival. Under the promotion of the boss Deng Jiang, Li Zhicheng sent moon cakes to his family far away in Shaoyang, Hunan. Li Zhicheng also called the second sister Li Yumei because he could not go home because of his work.

Over the past 25 years, this is the first Mid -Autumn Festival after Li Zhicheng found his family.

Cooked customers know that Li Zhicheng is a deaf and dumb. Twenty -five years ago, he came to Wuhan in a bad yin and yin. With the help of many good people in Wuhan, he not only learned craftsmanship, but also found his family.

"I treat him as his own child"

In 1997, Gui Yucai, a resident of Wuchang District, set up a stall on Qianjia Street, Dadongmen. One day, suddenly one meter and six heads in the store, with a thin figure, he was very diligent, choosing vegetables, rubbing the table, and washing the dishes, but silent.

Gui Yucai, 78, recalled: "I saw Li Zhicheng under the bridge across the road. At that time, it was winter. He was dirty and slept on the ground thinly." The wealth decided to take him. After several exchanges, Gui Yucai found that Li Zhicheng was a deaf.

Every day at 4 pm, it will be at 12 o'clock in the night. Gui Yucai lived on the 7th floor. Li Zhicheng ate at his house and lived in a rental house on the first floor. That little room became his first home in Wuhan.

Slowly, Gui Yucai learned about the life of Li Zhicheng. "At that time, he was 23 years old and came to Wuhan by train. He was ready to come out to work with a few friends, but he sat on the stand. He only remembered that he planted oranges and rice at home. There was a brother, a sister, and a sister in the family. "

Li Zhicheng has been in the draft for more than ten years. Later, Gui Yucai's stalls were closed, and Li Zhicheng entrusted Li Zhicheng to his brother who opened a restaurant in Jiyuqiao. Gui Yucai told reporters: "When he first came to my house, my son was 25 years old and was generally big as him. For so many years, I regarded him as his own child. He also took care of me. When I was sick, he gave me a cricket. Chicken soup. Maybe this is the fate between us. "

In 2014, because of the house demolition of his brother's shop, the shop was also closed, but love was still passing.

According to the introduction, Qu Qiong, the owner of Zhongshan Road, Zhongshan Road, Jiyuqiao Street, decided to leave Li Zhicheng. "I have opened the shop for more than ten years on this street, and I have known him for a long time. Sometimes the neighborhood neighbors will send him things, and I will help him help him. Everyone likes him."

Li Zhicheng did something he was doing, and one arrived in two. Qu Qiong said, "Although he can't speak, he understands everything. Sometimes people with fishing come to the store to sell fish. He will pay for a few for himself and give it to Grandpa Gui. Sometimes he is unhappy. I will tell you in a way without eating. I will take him to see a doctor, and he refuses to pay me. Every time he takes the child to the shop, he always wants to hug and kiss. "

Now, although Li Zhicheng has left the little girl, Li Zhicheng still rents the community behind the dragon. After get off work almost at 12 o'clock every night, Li Zhicheng is going to the store to see, or smiling at Qu Qiong, or eating or eating A little supper. Qu Qiong always wants to give him an exemption, but Li Zhicheng insists on paying. Everyone was busy, Li Zhicheng sat aside and looked quietly.

"I have to teach him to learn skills, but also teach him to be a person."

In April 2020, the little girl had difficulty in operating. At that time, Deng Jiangxin, the owner of the bright barbecue restaurant operating opposite, took Li Zhicheng to his own store. "I knew Li Zhicheng very early. He was very capable, but he only worked hard. He couldn't stand in the future."

Deng Jiangxin noticed that when the chef is grilled, Li Zhicheng always likes to stand aside. Deng Jiangxin made only the gestures that they could understand, so that Li Zhicheng also tried to bake. "The chef was unwilling to teach him at first, because he couldn't communicate, he couldn't master the heat or weight." But under Deng Jiang's new persistence, Li Zhicheng still picked up the skewers.

If you don't have a good time, tell him to turn his hands on his hands. Master the weight of the salt, try it over and over, and bake it yourself. Guests also have personalized needs for baking skewers, especially in poor spicyness, but Li Zhicheng has his own way. "He is very clever, and he created a method of himself. The slightly spicy is better than scratching the thumb. The middle finger is spicy, the thumb is very spicy, and his hand is original." After two or three months of practice, the chef Li Zhicheng came out. Now most of the barbecue in the store comes from his hands.

In addition to learning barbecue, Deng Jiangxin also did an important thing to help Li Zhicheng save money. "He has no concept of spending money. The money he earned before was spent. He had almost no deposit when he first came to the store."

So Deng Jiangxin opened a special ledger for Li Zhicheng. The reporter saw that the ledger clearly wrote the time, expenditure, and balance of the salary, and each of them signed by Li Zhicheng. The salary of 3,000 yuan when I first came to the store, slowly rose to 3500, 3800 ... In two years, Deng Jiangxin helped Li Zhicheng more than 50,000 yuan.

When he paid the first salary, Deng Jiangxin only gave Li Zhicheng 2,000 yuan, and the remaining 1,000 yuan he transferred to the neighborhood Han Xuebin. It turned out that when Li Zhicheng had difficulties in life, Han Xuebin had lent him 2,000 yuan for emergency. Although he had paid 1,000 yuan, there were still 1,000 yuan.

Deng Jiangxin knew about this afterwards to find Li Zhicheng to exchange. "I give him 2000 yuan, he knows what it means, and he also agrees to help him return the money. I not only teach him to learn the ability, but also teach him to be a person." During the New Year, Deng Jiangxin also reminded Li Zhicheng to buy wine for wine Gui Yucai was sent to express gratitude.

Today, Deng Jiangxin is the most dependent on Li Zhicheng. He has to call Deng Jiangxin almost every day, and the two do not speak, so they laugh at the phone. Li Zhicheng will also send his own skewers and clean videos in the store to Deng Jiangxin to report the daily work. During the interview with the reporter, it was precisely the breakfast time of the employee. Li Zhicheng gave Deng Jiang a bowl of noodles, and he also brought a small bottle of noodle sauce to Deng Jiangxin's bowl.

"Why do you have hot noodles in Wuhan because they are all enthusiastic"

Where is Li Zhicheng's family? This problem has troubled everyone for 25 years.

When the younger sister was still stalling, Deng Jiangxin took Li Zhicheng to Guiyu's wealthy house to consult. He organized Li Zhicheng's information into text in the circle of friends, and the neighbors also helped forward. Deng Jiangxin also shot his story into a short video spread on social media. Some neighbors have also contacted the media, but no valuable clues were found.

In April 2021, "Baby Going Home" Volunteer Tai Qiu Chuanfang contacted Deng Jiangxin. With the help of Jiyuqiao Street, Li Zhicheng performed DNA detection and archive. After sorting out related clues, release, and comparison, Tai Qiu Chuanfang discovered that in a post registered in 2017 looking for a child, the missing child was also called Li Zhicheng.

In September 2021, Deng Jiangxin, who was busy working in Shandong, received a call from CCTV's "Waiting for Me" column group. "I was very excited at the time, I knew that there should be a clue. I rushed back to Wuhan before I finished my work. I bought a train ticket and took Li Zhi to come to Beijing."

After a week of waiting, the moment when the "door of hope" in the studio opened, Deng Jiang patted his thigh and burst into tears. Li Zhicheng hugs tightly with his 85 -year -old mother Xia Xizhen.

It turned out that Li Zhicheng's hometown was in Shaoyang, Hunan, and he gradually deaf when he was allergic to injections when he was a child. Before he came to Wuhan, he worked in a plastic factory opened by his cousin. He wanted to go out with a group of people, and then boarded the train. Li Zhicheng's second sister Li Yumei said that the whole family had been looking for his whereabouts.

In the finding relatives, the actor Fang Qingzhuo said: "Today I witnessed the kindness of the Chinese people, and also witnessed the feelings of not relatives like loved ones. Why are there hot noodles in Wuhan? Because they are all enthusiastic!" Wang Bing said: "When life let Xiao Li quickly fall, the neighborhoods woven a safe net and stabilized him. The temperature of a city may not depend on how many lights, but the hearts we perceive. ","

After returning to Wuhan at the end of the recording, Deng Jiangxin took Li Zhicheng back to Shaoyang's hometown, and Li Zhicheng said that he wanted to continue to work with Deng Jiangxin.
