"Labor is glorious
There is no shame in helping my mother sweep the streets
It's a shame not to help."
recently
A conversation between a teenager and his mother
touched the hearts of many netizens
Early in the morning on weekends
Furong Road, Wuling District, Changde, Hunan
There is always one big and one small
Two figures in orange vests
Sweep the road one after the other
Mom took a broom and cleaned it quickly
The boy held a broom in one hand
Dragging a waist-high trash can in one hand
Skillfully dispose of leaves and dry garbage into trash cans
From 5 a.m. and more
Cleaned until 8 o'clock
The morning sun stains the eastern sky with a layer of ruddy
Reflected on the red faces of the mother and son
An uncle exercising in the morning on the side of the road
Thumbs up at this
"Such a child can be raised
I saw him come to help every day during the holidays......"
The boy's name is Zhou Yiwei
He is 15 years old
He is a second-year junior high school student at Changde Foreign Chinese School
He got up early to help his mother sweep the streets
It's been more than a year
Early morning of every holiday
He always gets on his bike
Came to Seremban Road with Mom
Skillfully sweep the floor and shovel garbage
Ahead of mom's work
Send the garbage to the transfer station
Mom Li Chunmei
Working for a property company
In March last year, in order to subsidize the family
Li Chunmei decided to go to work at 8:30 a.m
Part-time as a sanitation worker
Mom's dedication
Zhou Yiwei saw it all in his eyes
Every day when I go to school and pass by the road that my mother cleans
He would always pinch the brakes and slow down
Screaming "Mommy"
Half a month after my mother worked part-time
Zhou Yiwei said to his mother
"Call me on weekend mornings
I'll go with you."
At the beginning, Zhou Yiwei was not very skilled
Mom asked him to re-sweep it many times
One day because of the cooling
Zhou Yiwei was dressed thickly
The arm can't be spread
The sweep is a little sloppy
I was driven home by my mother
"Thinking of my mother on the road alone
I turned back and scanned."
The son and mother waved a broom side by side
At that moment, they both understood each other
It's been a whole year
Weekends and winter and summer vacations
Zhou Yiwei was only absent twice
Once during the summer holidays
He really wanted to sleep a little longer
Another time because he had a final exam the next day
Mom wouldn't let him help
The current Zhou Yiwei is skillful
No blisters regenerate at the joints of the fingers
Study habits are better
I am also more proactive in doing housework
On weekends, I also cook for my mom and dad at work
"Wouldn't it be embarrassing to run into a classmate?
Do you feel ashamed to sweep the streets? ”
Because the street where the cleaning is done is very close to the school
Li Chunmei also asked her son
Zhou Yiwei said
"Labor is glorious, helping my mother sweep the streets
It's not a shame at all, it's a shame if you don't help."
At the end of the interview
The shy Zhou Yiwei made a small suggestion
He would like to appeal to everyone
Don't throw trash out of your car window
"Sanitation workers are hard and unsafe to clean up on the road
Especially on rainy days with poor visibility"
Under the early morning sun
People walk on clean streets
Neat and pleasing behind
It is a pure heart
It's a love without words
Yiwei, you are awesome!
The future is promising!
