In Yancheng, an old revolutionary base area, on the beautiful coast of the Yellow Sea, in recent years, a brand of caring catering culture named "Yuhuazhai" is unique in the ranks of public welfare. With the care and promotion of a large number of caring people, the number of love vegetarian restaurants in Yuhuazhai has grown from 1 6 years ago to 5, and more than10 million people have enjoyed the vegetarian food in Yuhuazhai for free in 6 years. So what is the operation mode, service purpose and promotion significance of Yuhuazhai Vegetarian Restaurant? These hot topics, such as where the funds for maintaining free catering come from and the nature of the employees involved in the service, are all concerned by people from all walks of life. With these topics, our "social hotspots" column recently conducted a special field visit. Through interviews and shooting, you can learn about the real Yuhuazhai vegetarian restaurant and experience the unique charm of the platform for promoting traditional culture in Yuhuazhai with love and kindness. Listen to the hymn of charity life with boundless love.

20 1 1, Zhejiang Jiande opened the first free vegetarian restaurant "Yuhuazhai", which later spread all over more than 20 provinces and cities in China. However, there is no organizational relationship, no transaction and no economic benefits among restaurants, which is spontaneously formed by the kindness of caring people all over the country. At the beginning, the Yuhuazhai in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province was founded by several caring people. According to Sun, general manager of Yancheng Yanhuazhai Vegetarian Restaurant, all the storefronts in Yancheng Yanhuazhai are donated by caring homeowners for long-term free use, and all the operating expenses are donated by caring people. These donated caring people include ordinary employees, entrepreneurs who set up factories to open the market, and the service personnel involved are spontaneous volunteers. In order to standardize for a long time, the manager of each store and the chef who specializes in cooking have barely maintained their daily lives in recent years. The donated money and materials are accounted for in a unified way, managed by special personnel, and the income and expenditure are open and transparent. In other words, Yuhuazhai vegetarian restaurant does not belong to that person, but belongs to everyone who has love and kindness. It is a public welfare platform built with great love. It is Yuhuazhai's unremitting pursuit to unite love, advocate vegetarian culture, carry forward traditional culture, be a guardian of the environment, care for people in need and build a beautiful home for mankind. As long as you have the bud of love, Yuhuazhai will bloom for you, spreading the boundless spiritual harbor of love. Yuhuazhai is love stand, especially.

Zhang Zhihua, 29, is the logistics captain of the fifth vegetarian restaurant in Yuhuazhai, Yancheng. Two years ago, on the recommendation of a friend, Zhang Zhihua volunteered at Yuhuazhai Restaurant. In the process of volunteering, this kind young man has a feeling of caring for public welfare. Since then, he has often used his hydropower skills to do hydropower maintenance for restaurants. The feeling of reluctance and reluctance made him become the logistics team leader of Yuhuazhai No.5 restaurant by chance. Some people don't give up. Zhang Zhihua, who is inarticulate, said that he likes Chinese studies and traditional culture since he was a child, and he is more keen on giving love to public welfare undertakings. A person's greatest happiness is not how much wealth he has, but doing what he likes. Zhang Zhihua arrives at the store at six o'clock every morning. Usually, he is busy until six o'clock in the evening. Zhang Zhihua said that his five stores offer two meals at noon and one soup at night, with rice as the staple food and pasta at night. Five stores receive nearly 100 people for meals every day, and at least five to ten people are needed to handle food distribution and cleaning, and these service personnel are volunteers. Wang He and Xu Zhongke, who are in their seventies this year, insist on volunteering in five stores every day. Under the influence of old volunteers, Jiang Yun and Wu Zhizhen will go to restaurants to wash vegetables and divide meals whenever they have time. Jiang Yun said that he got help from others when he was a child. Now he only needs ability, so he must help others with gratitude. According to Zhang Zhihua, the largest volunteer in Wudian is nearly eighty years old, and the youngest volunteer is only seven years old. Sun, the general manager, said that Yuhuazhai could not be today without the participation and support of thousands of caring volunteers. This spirit of boundless love is always worth advocating and praising!

Zhang Zhihua said that the fifth store in Yuhuazhai is busy now, and the central kitchen with complete facilities is in the fifth store. Before ten o'clock every morning, meals delivered to other branches should be delivered to the central kitchen. Refreshing, neat, standardized, clean and hygienic food is the real feeling of the director of this column after visiting the central kitchen. Yuhuazhai mainly provides vegetarian food, aiming to spread the concept of gratitude and traditional culture to the public by providing free meals.

There is a power called love, a belief called kindness, and a feeling called gratitude. Love, faith and gratitude are also important components of traditional culture. Traditional culture is a classic of Confucianism and Taoism handed down from generation to generation, which has been tested for thousands of years and is absolutely correct. It will not be recorded in classical Chinese with the evolution of language, but will be used to educate our humanity, so that we can avoid misfortune and get happiness. Before dinner, Zhang Zhihua will take the diners to recite a Thanksgiving speech.

Yancheng Yuhuazhai No.5 Store is a two-story building deep in an alley, and this place is also provided by a charitable and caring person. Near eleven o'clock noon, some diners came to the restaurant one after another, grouped in order, and then took their meals in an orderly manner. Every diner will eat all the food without waste.

According to Zhang Zhihua, most of the people who come to eat are old people, middle-aged people and young people. A 60-year-old Lao Wang who took three bus stops for dinner said excitedly: "When you come to Yuhuazhai for dinner, you are happy and grateful everywhere. Eating in Yuhuazhai is healthy and happy, green and environmentally friendly, and you can also learn traditional culture. This kind of thing with both merits and demerits is absolutely good. "

Gently lift your face and dry your tears. This heart will always belong to you. Tell me, I'm not lonely anymore. Look deep into your eyes. I don't need any more words. Hold your hand tightly. This warmth remains the same. We * * * wind and rain, we * * * pursue. We cherish the same love with the same expectation. No matter whether you and I have ever met, no matter before us, Yuhuazhai.

After a hundred years of life, you always have to experience something and meet some people. In just a few years, Yancheng Yuhuazhai gained a good reputation in the society and became an exquisite platform to advocate traditional culture. I have to mention one person, that is Sun, the general manager of Yuhuazhai. He treats everything in life with a grateful attitude and a calm attitude, leaving the most beautiful smile in the dull time, and wholeheartedly promoting the innovative development of Yuhuazhai charity with true feelings and actions. The next issue of "social hot spots" is launched: the second report of Yancheng Yuhuazhai series: an interview with Sun, manager of Yancheng Yuhuazhai Corporation, which happened in Yuhuazhai. If you have a story with Yuhuazhai, if you have the experience and feelings of volunteers in Yuhuazhai, you can contact us. We will record it with words and lenses, let more caring people know about Yuhuazhai, let more people join Yuhuazhai and make the world more full of love.
