Huaihua Daily all-media news learned that volunteers would be organized to "protect the river and clean the beach" the next day, and Li Yeduo signed up early. On April 6th, he arrived at Jinxi Bridge at 1 o'clock at noon, and picked up garbage along Taiping Creek with Sunshine Public Welfare Volunteers, and lasted for more than 3 hours, which was the second time Li Yeduo participated in this public welfare activity in 3 days.
(Every time the river is protected and cleaned, it is indispensable for Li Yeduo's beautiful posture of "River Xiaoqing")
Although he is disabled, Li Yeduo has a determined heart. He is well aware of the importance of environmental protection to Taiping Creek, so he decided to use his own strength to take care of the river that runs through the city.
His movements, while somewhat clumsy, are full of power. He picked up plastic bags, cigarette butts, and other garbage in both hands and carefully placed them in his own garbage bag. He always had a smile on his face and seemed to say, "This garbage shouldn't be here, I'm going to make the Mother River cleaner." "When I see garbage by the river, I pick it up whether I participate in the event or not. Li Yeduo told reporters in a not-so-smooth pronunciation. As long as he is free, he will work with Sunshine Charity volunteers to respond to the call of the government department to pick up garbage by the river, in order to make the mother river more comfortable.
Some people don't understand Li Yeduo very much: My own life has become a problem, so why bother to "toss" like this? Is it worth paying so much for public welfare? Li Yeduo replied without hesitation: "It's worth it, because many people in society have helped me, and I want to pass on my love."
Li Yeduo, 30 years old this year, was born with a physical disability due to cerebral palsy, unable to walk steadily, and his speech was not very neat. In 2011, he came to the beautiful Huaihua to set up a stall and began to support himself. In 2013, Li Yeduo participated in public welfare activities for the first time, which was in a welfare home. Although I am also disabled, I have seen that many disabled people in the welfare home have received loving attention from all walks of life and have lived a secure life. He felt that doing public welfare was too meaningful, and although his life was inconvenient, he made a decision to challenge himself to help others while supporting himself.
Since then, he has visited left-behind children in poor mountainous areas, combed his hair in nursing homes, and helped the elderly with environmental protection, student assistance, traffic persuasion, love to send exams, and civilized car support...... Li Yeduo couldn't stop on the road of public welfare. Every time he protects the river and cleans the beach, he is indispensable to the beautiful figure of "River Xiaoqing".
Li Yeduo's story touched countless people, and his story went viral on social media. Many people have expressed their desire to learn from him and join in the environmental action.
