A vegetarian restaurant in Hangzhou is hosting a special birthday party
More than a hundred people across the country are celebrating the birthday of a 70-year-old man
This old man's name was Wang Wanlin, and he was an ordinary citizen of Hangzhou
Since 1976, Wang Wanlin has rescued more than 500 homeless children
He had a treasure bag filled with pictures of him and these children
More than five hundred photos, basically every photo he can say the name accurately
Others think that Wang Wanlin is stupid, but Wang Wanlin's stupidity is a lifetime
As long as he saw a child in need of help, Wang Wanlin always rushed to help at the first time
Today, he has adopted more than five hundred children, scattered around the world, some of whom have even lived abroad
Now, Mr. Wang basically goes to a barber shop every night to visit his sons
The first thing Wang Wanlin did after getting off the station was to buy bananas, and there was a son who especially liked to eat bananas
Every time Wang Wanlin would buy two whole bags, the barbershop was opened by Wang Wanlin through many efforts to help his sons
The clerks inside are basically the children that Wang Wanlin has helped, and as soon as they enter the door, the children will call Grandpa Wang kindly
One of the sons immediately presented his newly purchased hat and scarf
Although Wang Wanlin always criticizes them in his mouth, wasting money to buy these things
But he was also very happy in his heart that there were so many children to worry about
The clothes, pants, and shoes on Wang Wanlin's body were basically bought by these children
Each child was given a little living expenses, and Wang Wanlin kept the money to help other homeless children
The owner of the barber shop is also a child that Wang Wanlin helped, and the owner is 26 years old named Chen Xiguang
10 years ago, at the age of 16, he came to Hangzhou alone to work, but for a 16-year-old child
It is so simple to work hard alone, and when he was most confused, Wang Wanlin helped him
As long as Chen Xiguang said that he loved to eat, he would appear at the table the next day, and Chen Xiguang lived in Wang Wanlin's house for 10 years
Although he also has a father, Chen Xiguang has long regarded Wang Wanlin as his father
In Chen Xiguang's eyes, Wang Wanlin is not only a father, but more of a guide on his life path
As long as it is within wang Wanlin's ability, whether it is life or career, Wang Wanlin always spares no effort to help them
The children in the shop washed Wang Wanlin's head comfortably
Here from 10 a.m. to 1 o'clock in the morning, the haircut of the elderly over 70 years old is free, which is specially instructed by Wang Wanlin
Wang Wanlin lived in an old house of 40 to 50 square meters, which had hundreds of children living in this house
When Wang Wanlin bought the food and went home, the children had already gotten up one after another
Only Ah Hua was still lying in bed, and the most lively time in this simple home was when the two of them were fighting
Who would have thought that 9 years ago, Ah Hua would still be a stray child who had no money in his pocket to live in the bridge hole
Since Ah Hua followed Wang Wanlin to this home, he had a warm home, a father who could rely on what he could talk about
The first child Wang Wanlin rescued was a child who escaped from child labor
Looking at the poor child that night, Wang Wanlin, who could not bear it, brought him back home
However, the mother not only did not scold Wang Wanlin, but felt that this was a good thing
After sending the children to the train station, Wang Wanlin had the idea that homeless street children were often encountered on the street
If they are deceived and misguided, then how sad their lives should be, Wang Wanlin knows the powerlessness of being deceived and wronged
Once he was also wronged, the neighbor's family lost a watch, insisting that Wang Wanlin stole the watch
He was arrested and imprisoned in the police station for 28 days and did two years of re-education through labor, which made Wang Wanlin lose his reputation at that time
Life should not have come to such a point, which is how Wang Wanlin's idea of adopting a wandering child was firm
Wang Wanlin is a laid-off worker with a limited source of income
But no matter how hard life is, he also wants to give the homeless children a warm home
When you can't afford to buy vegetables, you pick up discarded cabbage skins in the vegetable market
With some money in hand, I went to the wholesale market to buy it, because it was cheap, Wang Wanlin always hoarded a lot of hoards, and then carried it back by himself
Wang Wanlin has always been unable to see poor children, but good things are easy to do, and different voices will follow
One year during the Spring Festival, Wang Wanlin picked up a homeless child from Anhui Province and went home
Coinciding with the Spring Festival, tickets are difficult to buy, and the earliest is also until the third day of the Chinese New Year, so Wang Wanlin let his children live at home for three days
On the third day of junior high school, Wang Wanlin bought two tickets to send his child back, and just walked to the train station, and a policeman asked Wang Wanlin
Gradually, the crowd of onlookers suddenly came a word of human traffickers, and Wang Wanlin, who had never seen such a battle, panicked at that time
In the face of the masses' doubts, Wang Wanlin once tasted the taste of being misunderstood
The police contacted the child's mother, who cried after seeing the child, and Wang Wanlin also followed alongside to secretly wipe her tears
It turned out that the mother could not find the child and called the police to say that the child had been abducted by human traffickers, and the mother returned the ticket without saying a word and left
The indifferent mother and son, and the sneering of the masses, made Wang Wanlin feel frustrated and disappointed for the first time
He tossed and turned that night without sleep
But the next day, but the mother who learned the truth, came to Wang Wanlin's house to apologize
If there was no Wang Wanlin, perhaps the child would not have been reunited with his mother yet
In addition to being misunderstood, Wang Wanlin was also deceived by his own son, who called to borrow money to say that his sister was married
A few thousand yuan were borrowed from Wang Wanlin, and a few thousand yuan was an astronomical amount for Wang Wanlin at that time
But Wang Wanlin couldn't bear to lend it out, even if he knew that this money would never be returned
Even the son said that these thousands of you will only help a few people, this sentence broke Wang Wanlin's heart
But he still did not give up, and now there are many children who have been living on the streets, with the help of Wang Wanlin
Some were admitted to college, some started a company, and treasured a bag of treasures in Lao Wang's closet
When there is nothing to do, Lao Wang will always read and read these letters, and shed tears while reading them
Some children stayed with Lao Wang for a few days and months, and spent more than ten years with Lao Wang
Not every child will have an echo after Lao Wang's help, and some children have never contacted Lao Wang after leaving
In the letter, the children will always greet Lao Wang as a father, and this father is the driving force for Lao Wang to adopt children in this life
In the past 36 years, he has rescued a total of 515 street children across the country, and Lao Wang has spent half his life on these children
Despite his life's poverty, he lived the happiest life in the world
On the day of his 70th birthday, under the repeated advice of Lao Wang, more than a hundred children still came to wish Wang Wanlin a happy birthday
More than a hundred people bowed to Wang Wanlin in unison, perhaps not giving them a better living environment
But at the fork in the road in life, only Wang Wanlin pulled them together, so that they did not take the wrong road
This ordinary citizen is doing the most extraordinary thing, and the more such people in the world, the children will take a little less wrong path
