Zhang Aiping is a warm-hearted person, when he was a child, he became a third-degree physical disability due to encephalitis, and his IQ was also affected. Later, he was unable to complete his studies, so he remained idle at home, which left him with lifelong regrets. However, Zhang Ai was not discouraged and always wanted to do something for society.
He used tenacious perseverance to overcome difficulties and devote himself to public welfare undertakings.
He starts from the small things he can do around him, learns from Lei Feng, helps people in need, and never pays back.
In the winter of 2003, Zhang Aiping walked into the Anle Community of Jilin Street, Erdao District, Changchun City with full enthusiasm and offered to serve everyone. He was actively involved in cleaning corridors, repairing roadside stones, tending to broken network cables, repairing road tiles, helping with documents... Always responsive, never shout tired.
More than ten years have passed, and he has become a "celebrity" in the community, and everyone affectionately calls him "Sanmao".
Zhang Ai said proudly: "The neighbors all trust me, and now they all let me help get my salary, if this is not a cordial relationship, can you rest assured that I can handle it?" ”
On the evening of April 27, 2016, Zhang Aibing found a black wallet on Rongguang Road, containing the owner's bank card, documents and 4,000 yuan in cash. Early the next morning, Zhang Aibing came to the bank with his wallet, asked the bank to assist in finding the information of the lost owner, and finally returned the wallet to the lost owner unchanged.
In Zhang Aibing's backpack, there is always a thick pile of unpaid blood donation certificates, this red certificate, recording his donations again and again, but also a monument to his dedication to love.
In March 2003, Zhang Aiping passed by a blood donation truck, and he didn't think much about it, so he walked in to plan to donate blood. After the inspection, everything passed, and his blood donation road began. "I am willing to use my renewable blood to dedicate to the lives in need of help!" His words were loud.
Originally, disabled people were not allowed to donate blood, but Zhang Aiping strongly demanded blood donation, saying that his blood was qualified and that he was free and voluntary. After declaring the superior department, the blood station accepted Zhang Aiping's blood donation request.
The dates of his blood donation are exquisite, March 5 Lei Feng Memorial Day, June 14 World Blood Donation Day, "September 18 Incident" Anniversary, October 19 Changchun Liberation Anniversary, etc., he used his own special way to commemorate these meaningful days. Up to now, Zhang Aiping has donated blood 60 times, including 41 platelet donations, 19 whole blood donations, and a total of 7800 ml of blood donation, which is almost close to the total blood volume of the two people. From 2012 to 2015, he was continuously rated by the Ministry of Health as an advanced individual in unpaid blood donation. Holding his own honorary certificate, Zhang Aiping's confidence in contributing to society has become even stronger.
As a native of Changchun, Zhang Aiping's love for his hometown is deep and warm. He said: "Through my own efforts, I want more people to know and understand Changchun!" ”
Since 1994, he has braved the cold and heat, riding a bicycle, carrying a small picture album promoting Changchun, and has traveled through 28 provinces and cities, more than 300 counties and cities in 20 years, with a total distance of more than 200,000 kilometers. When he handed over the propaganda album to the stranger in a foreign land, Zhang Aiping's heart was extremely proud. "I was particularly happy to think that they could know more about Changchun through me, and that was the ultimate purpose of my trip — to spread the beauty of Changchun to all parts of the country." Zhang Aiping said.
In addition, Zhang Aiping also collected 45 maps of Changchun, the earliest of which was the "Changchun Urban Traffic Map" printed in 1974, the pages of the map have been yellowed, and the urban area of Changchun City at that time was recorded: more than 160 square kilometers and a population of more than 1.1 million.
Today, the urban area marked on the "Changchun Traffic Map" is 20,604 square kilometers, with a total population of about 7.53 million people.
Zhang Aiping told reporters that from these maps in his collection, he can see the development and changes in Changchun over the past 40 years. Why collect maps? Zhang Aibing said that this has to start from the year when he was 12 years old, when he went to play with his classmates, he saw a map of the world in English on the wall, he asked his classmates where Changchun is, and the classmates said that there was no Changchun on this map, probably because Changchun was too small. Zhang Aiping was deeply impressed by this incident, and he began to pay attention to collecting maps of Changchun City since then.
Zhang Aiping is such a person, he is dedicated to volunteer service, willing to help all people in need, he never cares about other people's eyes and opinions of him. He said: "I don't care what others think of me, I just want to contribute to society as much as I can, this is my lifelong cause!" ”
