Interviewing Zhang Ping in Huangjueping, no one said that she was good. For 11 years, she took care of the 98-year-old neighbor Chen Houji without complaint or regret, three meals a day, and took care of her daily life.
Over the years, many people have advised Zhang Ping, "Your own life is not rich, why do you have to take care of this old man?" But she replied, "I never wanted to give up, as a neighbor I couldn't bear to see him living alone, one day he was alive, I took care of him for a day." ”

I only hope that the elderly are "happy and have someone to take care of"
In an old residential building from the 1970s and 1980s in the Huangzheng Street community of Huangjueping Street, deep in the laneway, the elderly Chen Houji lives alone in a private house on the 3rd floor.
Chen Houji's elderly family is not rich, and he has been living alone with his pension since retirement. A few years ago, the elderly Chen Houji was hospitalized due to illness, although he was treated but still had difficulty walking, and now, with the growth of age, the elderly are more and more difficult to cook, laundry and other housework. Zhang Ping, who lives in chen houji at the door, does not know when he has taken on the work of cooking, washing, and cleaning up the housework for the elderly.
For ordinary people, eating is a very simple thing. However, for the elderly Chen Houji, with the assistance of Zhang Ping, it was still a major event that lasted for more than an hour.
"It's okay to feed him now, when I was just starting out, the chopsticks would bite off and swallow." Because the oral nerves of the elderly Chen Houji cannot be controlled, there is no way to control the bite of his mouth, and the tableware given to him by Zhang Ping has also been upgraded from wooden chopsticks wooden spoon to stainless steel chopsticks and stainless steel spoon, but most of the time he needs to take his finger to assist. Zhang Ping tore the meat into small pieces, and put it on the spoon together with the rice, each spoon was like breaking through, taking advantage of the old man's open mouth, quickly pushing the rice on the spoon with his fingers, but many times, it was the food that flowed down with the saliva, Zhang Ping took a tissue to help him wipe it, and then waited for him to eat the rest slowly. "In the past, my fingers would be bitten, so the feeding speed was faster, but now it's much better, and Grandpa Chen can basically take a spoon and eat it himself." Zhang Ping smiled.
"In my heart, Zhang Ping is my daughter, and without her care, I wouldn't have lived so long." Old Man Chen Houji spoke from his heart. Beginning in 2010, Zhang Ping began to take care of Chen Houji, a widowed elderly man who was not related to her by blood, without pay, and insisted on it for 11 years at the beginning.
Trivial, trivial things, because they run through every day, are particularly simple and touching. Once, when Zhang Ping visited the elderly, he found that the amount of food for the elderly was significantly reduced, and he had no appetite for the most popular meals on weekdays, and he was more reticent than usual. Zhang Ping knew that the old man was old, and there were always some small illnesses and small pains on weekdays.
So she quickly found her lover, and the two worked together to take the old man to the hospital. After arriving at the hospital, I learned that the elderly needed infusions in hospitalization, in the 5 days of hospitalization, Zhang Ping and her lover worked tirelessly to accompany the elderly, afraid that the nutrition of the elderly could not keep up, and deliberately made easy-to-digest meals for the elderly at home to take to the ward, and she also comforted the elderly from time to time.
After being discharged from the hospital, Zhang Ping went to visit the elderly more frequently because he was worried about the body of the elderly, and the old man slowly recovered his appetite under Zhang Ping's careful care, and his health improved day by day. When the weather is good, Zhang Ping will also take the old man to the main city's ecological park, farm and other places to relax with his lover.

Not for fame and fortune, good deeds interpret the great love of the world
After 11 years of meticulous care, Zhang Ping's strength and kindness have touched and influenced many people around him. "Sometimes when she goes out, we pass by and see the old man Chen Houji not sitting still and falling to the ground, and we will organize several neighbors to carry him back to the bed." Sometimes she will bring some delicious food to this side, it is not easy for her to take care of the elderly alone, we can help it. "The chai rice oil and salt used in the daily life of the elderly are often sent by caring people, and community personnel also visit the elderly from time to time to help the elderly clean up, and also send condolences and condolences to ensure that the elderly live a worry-free life."
After mr. Huang, an enthusiastic person, learned of this incident, he wanted to donate 100 yuan to Zhang Ping every month to promote such positive energy behavior of respecting the elderly. After learning of this, Zhang Pingwan refused the kindness of the stranger. Zhang Ping and her husband said together that although the burden is heavier, they are still economically passable, and they are also trying their best to provide the best life for the elderly, fruits, milk, pot meat, etc. every day, so that the elderly have enough nutrition. For everyone's kindness, they understand, at present do not need external financial support, they take care of the elderly not for fame and fortune, only for a good intention of persistence.
