The neighbor died and no one cared about it, my dad contributed money to help with the burial, and 15 years later received a phone call with tearful emotional stories
My name is Li Ming, I was born in an ordinary family, my father's name is Li Aiguo, he is a warm-hearted person who is always helpful. My mother died when I was very young, so I lived with my father, who was both my father and my friend.
When I was ten years old, our neighbor, Uncle Wang, passed away. Uncle Wang is a lonely old man with no relatives, and his death has attracted widespread attention in our community. Everyone was discussing how to deal with Uncle Wang's funeral, but no one was willing to come forward. Seeing this situation, my father decided to stand up, and he contributed money and efforts to help Uncle Wang be buried.
I remember that day, my father took me to Uncle Wang's house to help him sort out his belongings. In the process of sorting, my father found a photo of Uncle Wang when he was young, and he was handsome and chic in the photo. My father told me that Uncle Wang was an excellent soldier when he was young and did a lot for the country. Hearing this, I have a deep respect for Uncle Wang.
Under the leadership of my father, we held a simple funeral for Uncle Wang. Although there were not many people participating, everyone paid tribute to Uncle Wang. My father delivered a speech at the funeral, and he hoped that everyone would not forget Uncle Wang's contribution to the country and the people. Hearing this, I couldn't help but shed tears.
Time flies, fifteen years have passed in the blink of an eye. I've grown up and left my hometown to work in the field. My father is also old, but he still maintains his enthusiasm and helps his neighbors solve their problems.
One day, I was working at the company when I suddenly received a strange phone call. The person on the other end of the phone told me that he was a distant relative of Uncle Wang, and he found the contact information left by my father and wanted to thank us for taking care of Uncle Wang back then. I was very surprised to hear this, I didn't expect that after so many years, there would still be people who remember this incident.
I quickly asked for leave and went home and told my father about it. When my father heard this, he was also very surprised. He told me that he only helped Uncle Wang out of kindness, and he didn't expect to get such a return.
It didn't take long for Uncle Wang's distant relatives to come to our house. He brought a letter from Uncle Wang to us. In the letter, Uncle Wang expressed his gratitude to us, saying that although he had no relatives, our concern made him feel the warmth of home. He also said that he left us his legacy and hoped that we could live better.
After reading the letter, my father and I were in tears. We never thought about getting anything in return, just out of kindness to help others. Unexpectedly, our good deeds were rewarded in such a way.
After Uncle Wang's distant relatives left, my father and I went to Uncle Wang's cemetery. We placed a bouquet of flowers in front of his grave to thank him for giving us an opportunity to learn to care for others.
This incident made me deeply appreciate the power of kindness. There will always be people in our lives who need our help. As long as we reach out and give them love, they will feel warm. And this warmth will also be passed on to more people and make our society a better place.
From then on, my father and I were more enthusiastic about helping others. We believe that if each of us gives a piece of love, our world will be a better place.
