A small long table, a glass cold kettle with lemonade, some disposable paper cups...... In Lane 44, Fuxing West Road, Xuhui District, the "Love Public Welfare Tea Stall" at the entrance of the community has attracted the attention of passers-by, and from time to time construction workers, courier brothers, and pedestrians come to get free water for drinking.
The owner of the tea stall is Wang Yunnan, a resident of Jinbo Residential Area, Hunan Street, Xuhui District, who is the captain of the "Helping Nong" volunteer service team, volunteering to help people in difficulty in daily life and silently doing what he can for them.
The heart of volunteerism comes from daily life

As a security guard, 35-year-old Wang Yunnan has lived in the Jinbo residential area for more than ten years, "My father is from Anhui and my mother is from Yunnan, so I was given this name at that time. Part of volunteering is also influenced by family members, who are always helping their neighbors. After graduating, Wang Yunnan has built a factory, worked as a chef, and worked as a security guard, and is a helpful "warm-hearted" in daily life.
Before the volunteer team was formed, a small blackboard with his contact information was placed in the security room where Wang Yunnan worked for two years, whether it was volunteering to help neighbors and the elderly dispense medicine and run errands, or buying rice and oil, changing light bulbs, and repairing water and electricity...... These requests for assistance received are "small things" in Wang Yunnan's eyes, but they are real "big things" in the hearts of those who ask for help.
Wang Yunnan volunteered to help residents
"For example, some elderly people are old, it is inconvenient to go up and down the stairs to pay, or the ceiling fan at home is dusty, and it is very difficult to climb up and down, and they will call me to help in these situations. Generally, it is a small thing that can be done in three or five minutes, or at most ten minutes. Wang Yunnan said.
From individual acts of kindness to team action
Over time, Wang Yunnan's heart-warming actions shone in the corners of the community, and he also became a safety volunteer of the neighborhood committee.
"The original intention of doing good deeds is very simple, I don't think about it so much, I think I can help anyone in need." Wang Yunnan told reporters that in his eyes, these are more like trivial things in life, "The right is that my parents are old, and this one is broken to fix it, or that one needs to be paid, go for a trip." ”
After all, a person's power is limited, in the process of service, he found that there are many elderly people in the community who live alone, how to provide more timely and high-quality services for the elderly, do deep and detailed, let Wang Yunnan have more thinking.
Doing good deeds is a spontaneous act, and if more people join the volunteer work, the power of the team can help more people. With the help of the Jinbo Neighborhood Committee and the street, the "Help" team has been in the past two months since its establishment, which is an expansion of the scale and a continuation of love.
It is understood that there are currently 11 members of the volunteer team, with an average age of around 40 years old, many of whom are fellow villagers and friends of Wang Yunnan, and they are also influenced by Wang Yunnan, so they joined in. For the "emergency" in the usual residential area or the elderly who need help, everyone will "raise their hands to claim" in the WeChat group to see who is free, and will not deliberately arrange.
It is understood that one of the members who had just joined had moved from the original Nanjing Road to Baoshan District, and although the distance was far away, the spirit of volunteerism had not stopped spreading. "It's still relatively small on my own, and I hope to attract more people with a heart. Doing good is not limited by geography. Wang Yunnan said.
Volunteerism continues to spill over
The Jinbo residential area is a "retirement community", with small houses and few young people, a large proportion of the population living alone and the elderly, and many elderly people living alone who need help in their daily lives. Han Jing, deputy secretary of the general party branch of the residential area, told reporters, "Now his sign is also posted at the door of our party and mass service station, so it is not only the elderly in our residential area who come to ask for help, but also the surrounding areas, such as the elderly of the Anfu Neighborhood Committee." Wang Yunnan, a "busy man", has time to squeeze out, and if there is an "emergency" for the elderly, they are even "on call 24 hours a day".
"Don't put on a show", "do good deeds without leaving a name", "don't flaunt yourself", according to Han Jing, Wang Yunnan's "good deeds" over the years have never appeared in the situation of "inviting merit", and this public welfare activity of giving lemonade in 44 lanes was only known when the staff of the neighborhood committee passed by. "There are old people I have helped him, and after many years, I have forgotten myself, but he still remembers." Wang Yunnan said with a smile, "I hope that there will be more and more people who do good deeds." ”
