Shunyi District Rong Media Center News Take out the kit, turn on the lamp, put on the glasses, start the repair... In the past three years, Du Wenming, an enthusiastic retired party member who moved to Meixiang Community, Wangquan Street, has been volunteering to help neighbors repair various small household appliances, tables, chairs, benches, pipes, etc., using his skills to solve the "small problems" in everyone's life, so that small objects in life can play a big role again.
Du Wenming repairs the hot water pot.
At first, a neighbor asked in the WeChat group of community residents where there was a shop to repair electric fans, and Du Wenming replied after seeing it: "If you are relieved, let me take a look first, and then find a repair shop if it is not repaired." Soon he repaired the electric fan. Du Wenming, who worked as an electrician, maintenance worker, plumber, etc. when he was young, was skilled and enthusiastic, and more and more residents turned to him for help. "Uncle Du, my bicycle tire is punctured, do you think you can make up for it?" "Okay, push it." "Lao Du, my rice cooker is not lit, you can show it." "Okay, I'll go to your house in a moment." "Du, my water pipe is leaking, you hurry up and help!" "Aunt Zhang, don't worry, I'll come right away." ...... Such conversations often appear in the community and WeChat groups, and the enthusiastic Du Wenming is gradually known to everyone.

"Now that the residents' homes are broken, most of them choose to replace them with new ones, but in fact, many of them are small problems, and they can continue to be used after repair." Du Wenming told reporters while inspecting the kettle sent by his neighbor Liang Keming. Disassembled the base to carefully check, measure the current with a multimeter, and after some inspection, Du Wenming judged that the resistance of the kettle was damaged. "You can use it with a new resistor, and you don't have to buy a new one at expense." He said with a smile. In a few minutes, he repaired the kettle, connected it with water, and after a while it boiled.
"Many items were broken and couldn't be used, and I felt a pity when I threw them away, so I asked Xiao Du to help me repair them." In addition to the kettle, he also repaired faucets, sockets, etc. for my home. He was very enthusiastic and a good example for us to be around. Liang Keming said.
Du Wenming sorted out maintenance tools.
Du Wenming's toolkit originally contained more than ten kinds of guys. In the process of repairing the neighbors, he replenished the tools he needed at any time, and gradually his kits became more and more full and more complete. When he encounters repaired items that need replacement parts, he often buys them out of his own pocket. "Just a few dollars, it's not a thing." He said.
"Do more small things for everyone, you can exert your residual energy, and you can also make your life more fulfilling, which is good!" Du Wenming said.
