Morning News (Reporter Chen Linghong, Zheng Yijun, Wu Jiaxiao, Text/Photo) Where are you sewing clothes now? How much does it cost to sew up once? In Dingcheng Village, Meishan Town, Nan'an City, the "one-dollar tailor shop" is located in the service station in front of the village committee, no matter what is sewn, only one yuan is charged, which is not only convenient and good, but also cheap, and is well received by the villagers.

"I took two of them, both of which were my grandson's school uniforms, and they cracked." "A sheet, a zipper." "Oh, I don't even know, it was my family who called me and told me that I only knew there was a tailor shop." Early in the morning, five or six old people in the hall outside the tailor's shop got together and chatted. Aunt Liu, who came to the queue with her grandson's school uniform, had been waiting for half an hour, but she was not in a hurry at all, "Anyway, it's okay, everyone sits and talks."

The one-dollar tailor shop here is a service project of the Dingcheng Village New Era Civilization Practice Station, which is "open" every Wednesday and Friday from July 1 this year, providing projects such as "sewing buckles, locking edges, changing zippers, changing pants cuffs, and repairing holes".

The tailor Lin Yalan is a staff member of the village committee and a veteran tailor in the village. She studied tailoring at the age of 17, and later made her own clothes and worked as a worker in a garment factory in Shenzhen. When she was married, her bridal clothes and her husband's suits were cut by hand, and later the children's clothes, shoes and hats were also made by herself.

"The old people in the village have to go to the town to sew and mend clothes, although it is not far, but it is always not very convenient, we have ready-made talents, just use it." Liu Jianhong, director of the New Era Civilization Practice Station in Dingcheng Village, introduced that at the beginning of the preparation, a villager who sold trams learned of the situation and took the initiative to donate an electric tailoring machine worth about 2,000 yuan. When the tailor shop "opened", the village used WeChat to advertise it, but many elderly people could not receive the information, so she also used the phone to inform the elderly.

In addition to the "one-dollar tailor shop", the village's New Era Civilization Practice Station serves as a convenience station for villagers, and there are first aid kits, paper towels, umbrellas, disposable raincoats, etc. for villagers to use free of charge. The weekly "open" day of the tailor's shop has gradually become a good day for the elderly to gather and talk to the fairy.
