The 56-year-old Wang Yuewu is a well-known figure in the Nanyang public welfare circle!
When the Internet emerged in the 1990s, Wang Yuewu named himself "Steel Hummer", which was famous for public welfare fundraising in the BBS forum;
The once sensational "Fire Sea To Save Mother Girl Xiao Qianyu", Liu Wei, who was swallowed up by the brick factory mixer, hippo boy, etc., were all successfully rescued by his promotion into the public eye.

In 2018, he joined the "Nanyang Community Volunteer Association" and is now the deputy secretary and vice president of the joint party committee of the association.

He has personally helped nearly 800 people, and the public welfare funds raised are even more difficult to count.
The friends who did public welfare with him at that time included Lu Hongqing, Hui Changpo, Liu Shuiqing, a good Chinese man, and so on.
He is the only one who has been lonely and nameless!
Recently, Nanyang Influential Xiaobian approached Wang Yuewu and took everyone to understand this public welfare person who has insisted on staying for more than 20 years.

01
The Bookish family walked out of the tough guy warriors
Wang Yuewu was born in a family of scholars, and his parents were both teachers.
An incident in the third grade of primary school made Wang Yuewu associate with public welfare.
At that time, he and his friends were playing on the railway and found a passbook with 600 yuan. 600 yuan in the 70s was a huge amount of money.
Wang Yuewu quickly handed over the passbook to the school. Based on the name of the unit on the passbook, the school contacted the owner and returned the passbook intact.
Afterwards, Wang Yuewu's collection of gold was publicized by the Nanyang Radio Station, and at the school's meeting, the principal also brought him a big red flower.
This incident planted the seeds of good deeds and public welfare in his heart.
After graduating from high school, Wang Yuewu threw pen from Rong and trained in the tank unit in Shandong for four years.
Not tall, but running flexibly, not good at words, but good at tactics.
In his four-year military career, he not only joined the party in the line of fire, but also rose to the rank of sergeant within two years, and the class he led also won collective awards for consecutive years, and individual awards were also awarded.
Before he retired from the army, his life shone brightly.

Online fundraising to start a public welfare life
After retiring from the army and returning to Nanyang, Wang Yuewu came into contact with the Internet.
The BBS forum in the 90s was a popular online social tool at the time. The first batch of netizens Ma Huateng, Ding Lei, Lei Jun, and Qiu Bojun became China's Internet tycoons.
And Wang Yuewu is also famous for often stirring up Yangqing in the forum.
He named himself "Steel Hummer", and the four words were full of iron bones, and almost every post was full of positive energy.
An unexpected fundraising officially opened his path to public welfare.
At that time, the daughter of Wang Yuewu's colleague was unfortunately burned, and the unit called on everyone to donate. Despite everyone's help, the gap in treatment costs remains large.
Wang Yuewu suddenly remembered that he could post in the forum and call on more people to help this unfortunate girl.
After the post was sent, Wang Yuewu was stunned.
A steady stream of money is poured into pro bono accounts from across the country every day, far exceeding the cost of treatment.
The first online fundraising saved a family in a desperate situation, Wang Yuewu lamented the power of the network at the same time, but also with a reverent heart to treat every donation.
Apart from clear records and timely transfers, he does not use a single cent.
Wang Yuewu described that the network was very pure and the trust was extremely high, even if they did not know, the people in the south and north of the sky were willing to lend a helping hand.
Since then, he has often visited families in need with several friends in the forum and launched fundraising on the Internet.

Public welfare and money scissors are still messy
There is criticism about things related to money.
Wang Yuewu has done public welfare for so many years and often worries about money.
A worry, no money.
Public welfare fundraising is not always so smooth. Especially with the development of networks, trust is becoming more and more difficult.
Many times, Wang Yuewu made promises when visiting families, but often could not raise funds after returning.
Wang Yuewu, who had hardly ever asked for anyone, had to put down his face, bow his head, and "ask for money" everywhere.
Two worries, suspected.
Wang Yuewu has always been his own way out of the road and food money.
Sometimes he traveled over the mountains to visit rescuers, and he and his friends carried steamed buns and dried noodles with them.
The biggest bargain of "dipping" is the pot and firewood of the fellow villagers, and a bowl of vegetarian noodles is the most common meal they eat on the rescue road.
But Wang Yuewu didn't mind. What makes it difficult for him to let go is the doubts from the rescuers.
Once, Wang Yuewu handed over the hard-won donations to the rescue family. As soon as I turned around, I heard a family member arguing: "So few, will this person withhold?" ”
Such doubts have been questioned more than once or twice, and even Wang Yuewu has the idea of giving up: "The kind of discomfort in my heart is indescribable!" ”

Touching others, also being moved by others
Even with the idea of giving up countless times, Wang Yuewu still persisted.
While he is touching others, he is also being moved!
In public welfare activities, Wang Yuewu is responsible for publicity and has always been off the camera
Once, Wang Yuewu collected clothes for children in a welfare home, looked around, and received only 20 donations.
Just when he was embarrassed, a clothing wholesaler in the Guangcai Market contacted him, and the merchants in the market took the initiative to lend a hand, you bundled, I stacked, and donated a truck full of clothes for the children of the welfare home.
A boss of the ceramic market learned that Wang Yuewu could not find the money, contacted his peers in the market, and not only collected donations for him, but also became a partner who walked side by side with him.
The big brother who deliberately disrupted a roll of money every time he raised money, so that Wang Yuewu could not count the number;
The couple who had to participate in almost every fundraising, but did not know that the other party had participated in the fundraising;
There are also families who are difficult to come up with hundreds of yuan, but they do not hesitate to give him the money...
Wang Yuewu has always been touched in these crowds of people who have done good deeds without leaving a name.
For 20 years, he turned down a lot of honors and hid outside the camera.
He wrote a lot of deeds for his friends, and when it was his turn, he always selectively forgot.
So far, he does not have a complete deed material, and the photos of his participation in the event are difficult to find.
But WeChat is full of greetings from recipients.
Despite misunderstandings, doubts, sneers, and irony, Wang Yuewu still insists on walking on the road of public welfare.
Since 2018, he has assisted in organizing the "Filial Piety to the Mother River" activity, and once a month he and volunteers went to the Baihe Wetland to clean up the garbage, and more than 100,000 public welfare organizations and 100,000 people participated in it.
Filial piety to the Mother River activities, do the simplest garbage collection,
What is maintained is the ecological environment of the Mother River
In the 2021 Zhengzhou flood, he collected nearly one million relief items for the first time and sent them to the resettlement sites seriously affected by the disaster, and when he returned, he encountered a rebound in the epidemic and isolated at his own expense.
Not only personally do public welfare, but also led his son and daughter to do public welfare with him, and the daughter also won the commendation of the Youth League Committee of Henan Province, and the wife said: "You do a good job, I will do a good job at home!" ”
Wang Yuewu retired after 4 years. But the path of public welfare has no retirement at all.
In recent years, Wang Yuewu feels that the burden of raising money is gone, and the implementation of the country's targeted poverty alleviation and rural revitalization has lifted all poor households out of poverty.
Now he is more involved in the grassroots of culture and art, fire safety into the community, traditional morality into the campus... Send rich spiritual food to rural areas and communities.
With the poverty alleviation of poor households, Wang Yuewu's energy shifted to cultural propaganda activities
He also has bigger plans!
Wang Yuewu is organizing more young people and students to participate in public welfare activities.
Teenagers are the future, they are hope, and he wants to sow more hope for the future of public welfare!
