Retired elderly scavengers built 7 village reading rooms for 7 years

Every day is bright, and a gray-haired old man will appear on the streets of Anju District, Suining City, Sichuan Province. From 2005 till now, he insisted on collecting waste products on the streets every day, earning income to help needy students, and donated 5 rural reading rooms.

The elderly man named Liu Tuyin, who is 80 years old this year, is one of the million “five old” volunteers in Suining. As a communist, he set himself a target as early as 2005: 10 thousand miles, pick up 10,000 bottles of mineral water, collect 10,000 tons of waste newspapers, save 10,000 yuan, and send 10,000 copies. book. "This year, I will be able to complete the dream of this 10,000 book." Liu Tuxi said.

In a rainy day in 2005, Liu Tuxi returned home to Ximei Town, Longshan Village, to visit relatives. After passing through a school, he took a look inside. Everything in front of him made him sad: the playground was full of mud and there were no places to go; the desks in the classroom were wooden tables of decades ago, and the tabletops were pits; students could only read textbooks and no extracurricular books were allowed. Look……

After returning home, Liu Tuxi immediately gave out 5,000 yuan to the Longshan Village Elementary School, but the urge to “not let the children lose at the starting line” became stronger in his mind. One day, he saw waste newspapers piled up in the corner of his home. An idea emerged: Scraps cost money and then buy books for the children.

When he told this idea to his family, he was strongly opposed by his children. His old friend Tang Guiying said: “When I started, I felt a little shameful. I thought we didn’t want to eat or wear them. We went to pick out what was broken. Later, he took us to see the children. We understand that many rural children need these.”

Since then, whenever he saw bottles of mineral water that had been thrown off the roadside, Liu Tuxi’s wife and granddaughter would all take the initiative to pick it back. The daughter of a magazine company also sent back more than 400 volumes of children's books; Suining City The Health Bureau released a warehouse on the ground floor for him to dump waste. The comrades took the initiative to keep newspapers, waste paper, and mineral water bottles for him; the acquaintances of the district also put the collected waste newspapers and water bottles on him. Outside the waste warehouse door; Uncle Chang of the tricycleman gives him free scrap every week to sell...

During the love-minded student's education, Liu Tusha supported four left-behind students. On the Spring Festival this year, Ye Qiao, who has been studying at junior high school, called and said: “Grandpa Liu, I will study hard and grow up to repay you.” Another student, Yang Jiao, wrote in the letter: “I’ll grow up in the future. Will be like Grandpa Liu, to help other people like me...".

“Improve peasants' knowledge level, let the peasants learn technology from the books.” Liu Tuyue started to think about building a rural reading room. He said that this will not only ensure that children have books, but also that villagers can learn technology and information through books.

So, he consulted with the owner of the waste collection, exchanged his papers with old newspapers, and asked relatives and friends to “book” the “report”. Every time he gets a book, he wipes the cover clean and clean, arranging each corner to be flat, sorting by content, and numbering each book.

On January 6, 2009, the first village reading room donated by Liu Tusha was opened to the villagers in the Chaoshui Village Medical Clinic, Yufeng Town, Anju District, Suining City; in May 2009, it was shared by the city’s health department and some caring people. As a result, a village reading room with an area of ​​more than 20 square meters was successfully opened in Tianjiabu Village, Dongzen Town, Anju District; after that, Liu Tuyin successively took bridges in Qiaoting Village, Tiantai Village and Chuanshan District in Ximei Town. The Baozhai Village was built to build 3 rural reading rooms.

Today, Liu Tuxi has sent more than 6,000 books he has collected to the countryside and built five village reading rooms. The village reading room in Sanzhou Village and Jinmei Village has begun to plan in the mind of Liu Shame. The old man said: "As long as the body still allows me, I will continue to pick up the squatter to help the school."
