A few days ago, in the propaganda activity of "listening to the party, feeling the gratitude of the party, and following the party" carried out by the Agricultural and Rural Bureau of Lichuan County, Fuzhou City, Jiangxi Province, a disabled young man who was only 38 years old attracted particular attention.
Li Ping, who lives in Xindian Village, Desheng Town, is an authentic mountain man who fell in an accident at the age of 5 and his legs and knees were replaced with stainless steel knees, leaving him with a fourth-degree disability. When he was 13 years old, his father died of illness, and soon his mother took her sister to remarry. At that time, the 50,000 yuan debt owed by his father for medical treatment and all the burden of life in the family were pressed on the shoulders of this 13-year-old teenager, and Li Ping had no choice but to learn to make baskets with the teachers in the village, living in a small earthen house, barely making a living. At the age of 17, he went to Yiwu, Zhejiang Province, with 500 yuan borrowed from a relative's family, but because of his small age and short stature, he earned only 5 yuan a day in the factory. In order to save money, Li Ping could only sleep under the eaves of other people's houses every night.
"People who are poor must not be poor, but they must be stronger in their minds." Li Ping said so, and did so, he gritted his teeth, worked hard, worked hard, and slowly gained the appreciation of factory owners and colleagues, but the poor life still made him breathless.
"The heavens and the earth are not as great as the party's kindness." My difficult life took a turn for the worse in 2013. Li Ping said excitedly: "This year, my family was listed as a poor household with a record of lika due to special poverty. In the following years, the party and the government provided assistance in employment, housing, medical care, education and other aspects. In 2016, my family successfully moved into a spacious and bright new house, and the per capita annual income more than tripled compared with 2013, reaching 5621 yuan, which was gloriously lifted out of poverty. In 2019, I not only paid off the debts left by my father, but also had a small savings, and the per capita income of the family reached 10934 yuan. Whenever I think of this, my heart is always full of sunshine-like warmth, which makes me unconsciously hum the phrase 'the heavens and the earth are not as great as the party's kindness'. ”
"In the Spring Festival of 2020, due to the impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, many people in need stayed at home and could not go out to work, so I came up with the idea of giving back to the society, repaying the party's kindness, and starting a company at the 'doorstep' to lead the people in need to make a fortune." Li Ping continued: "After the town and village cadres learned of my idea, they vigorously supported me to start a business, and helped me coordinate nearly 400 square meters of entrepreneurial space for the first time, reduce the rent of the factory building by more than 10,000 yuan, help recruit more than 30 people, implement microcredit of 100,000 yuan, and the former factory owner also helped me contact machinery and equipment, sales channels and assist in online sales through the network." At the beginning of March this year, I successfully founded Zero Knitting Co., Ltd. to process ice silk sleeves for two factories in Yiwu. At present, the company has provided jobs for 13 people in need, helping them each to increase their income by 2,000 to 3,600 yuan per month. ”
"In the next step, I will expand the scale of production, strive to absorb more villagers to find employment nearby, and use about 20% of the profits every year to motivate employees to be grateful and forge ahead." Li Ping said with deep experience: "Happiness is all struggle. In the past few years of being a poor household, I have deeply realized that poor households cannot 'rely on the wall to bask in the sun and wait for others to send them a well-off', let alone 'compete for poverty than hardship, and lie down to be a low-income household', but must always feel the gratitude of the party, listen to the party, follow the party, completely get rid of the ideological 'poverty', and be a person who does not forget his roots and thinks of the source of drinking water. ”
