Urumqi, 7 Jan (Xinhua) -- On 7 January in Tuanjie Village, Mijik Township, Baicheng County, Xinjiang, Liu Guangming and his good neighbors, Hasmu Sawuti, were making dumplings in a lively and lively manner, and the kitchen was busy and happy.

Mr. and Mrs. Liu Guangming and neighbor Hasmu Sawuti have been neighbors for 30 years, and the two families get along very harmoniously, and they often spend time together in the fields, after tea and dinner, and in winter. "We both discuss things with each other, we can say that we have nothing to say, and we have to go to the door every day and nag." Liu Guangming said.

In 1981, Liu Guangming came to Aksu from Sichuan to work, and in 1991 moved to Tuanjie Village, Mijik Township, Baicheng County, where he lived for 30 years. "When I first came here, I was not familiar with the land, I went out to work every day to earn money, and then Hasmu Sawuti took the initiative to greet me, people are particularly enthusiastic, and we began to contact slowly." Liu Guangming said.

In 2008, the eldest daughter of Hasmu Sawuti was injured in a traffic accident, and Liu Guangming, as a neighbor, took the initiative to take 5,000 yuan to the hands of Hasmu Sawuti and his wife, so that they could quickly treat the child, and then the relationship between the two families began to be close.

"Liu Guangming knows a little more, he often helps me in planting land, he teaches me seedlings, grafting walnuts, and the technique of growing vegetables, and I have learned a lot from him." Hasmu Sawuti said.

Recalling the life of the two families, Liu Guangming seemed a little excited. "In the past, the children were small, the family expenses were large, and from time to time, when the hands were tense, they borrowed from each other. In 2014, my lover fell seriously ill, and Hasmu Sawuti took the initiative to bring 5,000 yuan for me to use first, and I was very touched at that time. ”

In recent years, in order to treat his lover, Hasmu Sawuti and his lover have taken time to visit the hospital every time, sometimes going out, Liu Guangming will give the keys to his home to Hasmu Sawuti. Let him take care of the house.

Liu Guangming and Hasmu Sawuti have lived in harmony for 30 years, and over time they have become well-known good neighbors. Wei Baichao, director of The Unity Village in Mijik Township, said: "The relationship between his two families is very good, and they help each other and develop together, which has become a model for the village. ”

Today, the touching story of the harmonious coexistence of the two families extends to the next generation, liu Guangming's son Liu Shuaiwei and Hasmu Sawuti's second daughter Aziguli Hasmu both work in the village committee, and the two people often help each other learn from each other in the village committee. "My parents are good friends, I grew up with Liu Shuaiwei, and now we work together again, I don't know anything and often ask him to help me, especially in computer technology." Azguli Hasmu said.

"I think it's a very good thing for neighbors to help each other, sometimes when you are not at home, the neighbors will take care of your home, 'distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors'. In the past few decades, both of our families can be said to have overcome difficulties in helping each other, and now that our conditions are better, our children are older, and we have all worked, and our two families must be good neighbors for a lifetime. Hasmu Sawuti said.
