On January 18, a case of asymptomatic infection with the new coronavirus was found in Chaoyang District, Beijing, Yue Mou, born in 1978.
At the press conference, the trajectory of Lao Yue's life showed the image of a difficult old father and saw countless people who cried and struggled for their lives.
Lao Yue makes a living in Beijing as a casual worker, mainly carrying sandbags, cement or transporting construction waste.
Because Beijing restricts the passage of construction vehicles during the day, it works most of the night from 11 p.m. to about 4:30 a.m., and it is not necessarily possible to receive work every day.
According to China News Weekly, Lao Yue was originally a crew member of a fishing boat in Weihai, Shandong Province, but his eldest son disappeared on August 12, 2020.
Since his son had worked as a cook in Beijing, he came to Beijing to look for him.
In order to find his son, he had already been to Shandong, Henan, Hebei, Tianjin and other places.
Everywhere he went, while looking for his son, he made ends meet with odd jobs.
In Lao Yue's hometown in Henan, there is also a father who is paralyzed in bed and a mother who has just accidentally broken his arm.
Lao Yue's wife and younger son are currently in Weihai, Shandong, and his wife mainly relies on helping people dry kelp to make a living, and the younger son is still in junior high school.
Despite living in a chicken feather, Lao Yue said:
"I don't feel sorry for myself either.
I just work hard, I don't steal or rob, I earn some money by my own strength, by my own hands, and when I make money, I look for children.
It's for life, for taking care of this home. ”
Fate is not always satisfactory, more often than not, endless pain and suffering.
In any case, everyone who strives to live like Lao Yue is the greatest hero in this ordinary world.
Although a small person like Lao Yue was as ordinary as grass, he was lost in the years and the crowd, and he couldn't even remember what was great.
However, the tiniest individual can also record a living history and can also radiate the power to inspire others.
They are floating and sinking in the big times, drifting and directionless, but they shine with the perseverance and beauty of the little people.
