He is an alternative among good people, his "good" degree is staggering, and his thoroughness in doing good deeds makes the listener speechless.
Guo, 52, wears a pair of old-fashioned big-rimmed glasses, with a simple and honest smile and a slightly dark complexion. When he was put into the crowd, there was no trace in an instant.
He is the most common "good guy" in life. He bathed the old man and wiped his ass, and every time he went downstairs, he brought his neighbor's garbage. He never took advantage of this in his life.
What is different is that he is an alternative among good people, the degree of "good" is staggering, and the thoroughness of doing good deeds makes the listener speechless.
He has donated more than 60,000 milliliters of blood in 20 years, which is 10 times of whole body blood. He sponsored 180 poor children to study, but he had little savings. His house is surrounded by walls. He bought a new TV and donated it in a few days. ...
Unlike the rich who are keen on charity, Guo is just a miner with a meager income. 65438-0982 transferred from the army to work in Qidashan Iron Mine, Qidashan Town, qianshan district City, Anshan City.
Anshan is his hometown and the place where Lei Feng worked.
In the post of road administration in stope, he worked for more than twenty years. He used many good deeds to make ordinary life close to legend.
Because of his good deeds, he won numerous honors: the national blood donation award, the national Red Cross volunteer star, and a model member of Angang Mining Company ... The leaders of the mining company even claimed that Guo's spirit as a "miner" had been sublimated.
However, there are also countless criticisms flocking to him. At a wedding reception, an old classmate even asked him sarcastically, "I have no money to play mahjong." What is the sponsorship point? " "My child is also in college. Can you also sponsor it? "
These cynicism about Guo are used to it and indifferent. His life is always like this, always wrapped in praise and criticism.
There is an anecdote that someone made fun of Guo and said that his shoes were broken. Guo immediately took off his shoes and handed them to him.
In other places, this may be just a joke, but in Qidashan Town, people believe it.
This makes every tourist curious. What did "Good Man" Guo do? Why would he do that?
"Fool" Guo
Someone once laughed at him and called him a "fool" because he was reluctant to spend a penny on himself, but donated it to others. He was also very wronged, but on the other hand, he thought: wasn't Lei Feng also called a "fool" in those days? Why can't I be a "fool"?
The Guo family is not rich, the house is 40 square meters, there are few household appliances, and the deposit is often zero.
It is not that he has no chance to own a big house. Guo had several opportunities for welfare housing distribution in the mine, but he never submitted an application.
When someone asked him, he said, look, there are still many comrades who don't have a house to live in, so let them have a chance.
Someone even contacted him privately, "If you don't want it, you can apply to sell it to me, a lot of money." Guo refused on the spot, which was not in line with his principles.
There is a child in Haicheng who walks 4 kilometers to school every day. Guo heard about it and sent his bike. His wife bought him another one. Soon after, he heard that a poor student in Tanggangzi Primary School had a long way to go to school, and this bicycle became a gift again.
Selfless dedication has become a habit engraved in his bones.
1997, a battle for star-rated roads was launched in the mine. As a member of ordinary organs, Guo is only responsible for technical guidance and inspection and acceptance. However, in order to arouse the enthusiasm of more than 20 staff in the operation area, he said that as long as everyone worked overtime and exceeded the daily workload, they would be invited to dinner every day.
For more than ten days, everyone worked until eight or nine o'clock every day, and he invited everyone to a restaurant for dinner every day.
At that time, people thought that Guo's money for eating would definitely be reimbursed. But after a long time, everyone knew that he had a credit of more than 2000 yuan in the hotel.
At that time, Guo's income was less than 1000 yuan, and he was still donating money to help students. He was already short of money. When my wife who studied abroad came home, she wiped out the account with what little savings she had at home.
There is nothing you can't give to others, and nothing is more important than helping others.
On the eve of the Spring Festival in 2009, Guo received a phone call from the blood bank before the lunch break, asking if he could donate platelets in advance. He knows that the shelf life of platelets is very short, and blood is usually collected according to the scheduled blood donation time. Blood stations don't call without critically ill patients.
It was a snowstorm and the road was difficult to walk. Guo ran a long way and stopped a taxi to get to the blood station. A critically ill pregnant woman is waiting for his blood.
The blood bank asked him to donate a unit of platelets, but he refused. "No, there are children." Finally, he donated two units of platelets. After the collection, he fell asleep on the blood collection bed, and the pregnant mother and son were safely rescued.
In March of this year, a college student in Liaoning suffered from uremia and had no money for kidney replacement. The only mother with income in the family is going to donate her kidney to save her daughter.
"Her mother is the pillar of the family. What if she collapses? " Seeing the news in the newspaper, Guo immediately decided to donate his kidney. Zhong Mingjie, a friend who drove him to the hospital, also wanted to donate.
The human body has two kidneys, and after one is removed, it can still survive. This is all that Guo and his friends know about kidneys, which is almost reckless.
Guo couldn't donate his kidney, because the match didn't match, so he left all his 200 yuan. "Come out in a hurry, just take these." .
Guo's 76-year-old mother picked up the phone and cried, "Why don't you give me a break first for such a big thing?" The wife was distressed and afraid: "No matter how high your consciousness is, don't you just want your health?"
In fact, Guo is not unwilling to discuss with his family. His thinking is often surprisingly simple. He doesn't think this is a big thing. When people praise his sublimity, he will be confused.
"Sticking" Guo
Many Angang people have seen Guo in the bath. Here he bathed his workmates and introduced the knowledge of donating hematopoietic stem cells.
1990, Qi Mine called on employees to participate in voluntary blood donation. In the following 20 years, Guo insisted on donating blood every year, and accumulated more than 60,000 milliliters of blood, equivalent to 10 times of his total blood volume.
Worker Zhang Guobin 13-year-old daughter suffers from leukemia. While he initiated charitable donations in the mine, he also believed that the most effective way to save children was hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. At present, there are not many domestic donors, and the probability of successful matching is low. Can you organize donation activities in the mine, and every time you add a donor, doesn't it add a hope?
So he wrote a voluntary blood donation proposal and publicized it to the workers. After work, the workers take a bath. He often goes to the bathhouse to help the workers bathe regardless of fatigue. "I'll rub your back." "No, no ..." "It's okay, I'll do it, I'll do it ..." Guo said and began to rub his hands. While rubbing, he introduced the knowledge of donating hematopoietic stem cells.
After wiping one, he went on to wipe the other. After more than two hours, the workmates all took a shower and left, and he began to take a shower himself. Sometimes, there is no hot water.
Many people have received Guo's watch. These watches are souvenirs of Guo's donation of platelets. Sha Li, deputy stationmaster of Anshan Central Blood Station, said that Guo comes to donate platelets every month. One unit of platelets is equivalent to 800 ml of whole blood. Donate a unit, and the blood station will send a juicer or soymilk machine as a good souvenir. However, Mr. Guo said that he had it at home and asked for four watches given when he donated 200 ml of blood. It's always like this. The staff at the blood station don't understand. Later, the person who came to donate blood in the mine said that Guo gave away all those watches and mobilized others to follow him.
At this time, Guo is like a gumball, and he can't get rid of it. "I feel very embarrassed. I fade as soon as others refuse. He wants to chase after others and say. The face is' very thick'. " Guo's Xiao Mao said.
Many charity workers have been harassed by Guo many times. Song Hongmei, director of Anshan Hope Project Office, said that Yi used to call the office staff at noon every ten minutes. The tone is always urgent: "How are things going?" The staff is also a little unhappy. Later, I learned that Lao Guo's family didn't have a phone or a mobile phone, so I had to call the office at noon to inquire about the progress of things.
Later, Lao Guo finally got a mobile phone. He often calls Song Hongmei at 6 am or at night 10 and asks her to send some donor files. "If we don't get a call from him during the break now, we are not used to it."
If Guo sticks to someone, no one can hide. After a class reunion, everyone went to sing. Guo said, "I won't go if I can't sing. I have work to do at work. I have to get back to work. " I can't stop it. Some lesbians said they would go back with him. At this time, Guo secretly said to me, "There are female students coming with me, so I have to take a taxi! 5 yuan's money is all I have in my pocket. Lend me 10 yuan. "
The next day is Sunday. At 5 o'clock in the morning, my phone rang, and Guo wanted to pay back the money. Li Shuwei said, "No." At 5 o'clock the next morning, the phone rang again. For several days, at 5 o'clock in the morning, Li Shuwei's home phone will ring on time. "Li Shuwei, go get it. I can't stand it." Li Shuwei's wife shouted.
"mortal" Guo
Guo is very grateful to his family for their support. He donated a lot of money during the Wenchuan earthquake, and finally even his daughter's living expenses for that month were not enough. "It's really unfair to them."
"if I were a bird, I would sing with a hoarse throat ... and then I would die, and even my feathers would rot in the ground. Why do I often cry? Because I love this land deeply ... "Guo sat on a 6-meter-high electric wheelbarrow and read aloud with his walkie-talkie. Loud voices echoed in the empty mine. The workmates will calm down and listen.
He also likes to recite "Farewell to Cambridge", which is also cadence and full of emotions. No one will criticize his single recitation skills, but will only be infected by his passion.
He also often sings. Songs such as "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau", "Dedication of Love" and "Our Soldiers" were repeatedly played in the mine.
His best audience is his wife. After more than 20 years of marriage, Guo has never bought a gift for his wife. From June 5, 2009 to 10, Qi Mine organized an inspection tour of Jinggangshan. Before he left, his wife brought Guo 1000 yuan. On the day he came back, Guo took out a small red box from his pocket and put it in his wife's hand. Opening it, it turned out to be a "diamond ring".
Later, Guo told the truth that 28 yuan bought this ring from a stall, and the rest of the money was donated to Project Hope.
My wife is still happy to wear this ring on her hand. "Lao Guo went out and brought this back for me, 28 yuan!" She said proudly.
In recent years, Guo has donated everything his family can. He often told his wife that he had found another poor family, so he donated again, perhaps for the last time. My wife always says with a smile, don't fool me, and don't say anything about the last time. Anyway, there is only a little savings at home, and it will be quiet after donation.
The only valuable thing in the family is a TV set, but when Guo heard that a poor child really wanted to watch TV, he gave it to others without hesitation. He donated three in a row. This time, my daughter cried with anger and ignored him for two days. "If Dad hadn't taken the TV away, would you have been admitted to such a good university?" After her daughter went to college, Guo joked.
After her daughter went to college, she wrote home and said, "I feel particularly warm when I think of my home of less than 40 square meters."
Later, when the leaders of Anshan Hope Office knew about it, they sent a TV set to the Guo family and told him, "This is a fixed asset of the country and cannot be donated."
Guo is very grateful to his family for their support. During the Wenchuan earthquake, he donated a lot of money in succession, and finally even his daughter's living expenses for that month were not enough. "It's really unfair to them."
History of good people's growth
Some people eat lobster for enjoyment, while I help others for enjoyment.
How did Guo become such a person?
In the eyes, Guo's hair and Guo's "good behavior" have more or less genetic genes. Guo's father, a former provincial model worker, wore a big red flower in the mine and went to Beijing as a representative of the heroic collective, reporting his heroic deeds of saving the young people who fell into the well, and was received by the Prime Minister. "Can the children raised by such a family be good?"
However, there are many model families in the mine, but Guo has only one. It is believed that Guo's character determines that he likes to do good deeds all day, and this character can be seen from his childhood behavior.
One of Guo's most popular anecdotes about teenagers is "heroes protect dung". At that time, in order to support agriculture, primary schools called for collecting excrement, and most of them were miyoshi students. Li Shuwei and others are so dirty that they use river mud to make up the numbers. Only Guo picked up dung everywhere and carefully selected it. At the end of winter, in his yard, feces piled up into mountains.
The dung pickers in the countryside found a treasure, and after consulting with Guo's grandmother, they bought it at the sky-high price of 15 yuan. Li Shuwei's mother looked enviously: "I have such a son, and I am rich." However, Guo came back crying and refused to sell it anyway. Finally, this pile of dung was donated to the brigade.
The school called for "eliminating four pests" and asking for mouse tails. Li Shuwei and others replaced it with a whip sheath. Only Guo in the class made two mouse tails. "What can we say? I have been an honest man since I was a child. " .
What impressed Li Shuwei the most was that when I was a child, children went to the mine to give hot water to adults, which was a way of giving love in those days. Guo has once again become an alternative. Others send water, but he sends brown sugar water. The extravagant brown sugar was gone and replaced with tea, which once made Guo a public enemy of the children.
"Fool, we hate to send tea to our teeth." Li Shuwei recalled his childhood in distress situation. He said that many things were doomed from childhood.
Guo longed to be a glorious PLA soldier since he was a child, and the person he admired most was Lei Feng.
1977, he joined the army from Angang, and Yu Xinyuan, the old Red Army who recommended him to join the army, also sent Lei Feng to join the army that year. In the army, he also followed Lei Feng's example.
Twenty-eight years ago, when Guo retired, Lian Changlin said that our company was company of heroes who participated in the Battle of Shangganling and the Battle of Dingzhan. We are all descendants of Lei Feng. Wherever we go, we should work hard and carry forward our fine traditions!
Twenty-eight years later, when I saw the company commander again, Guo was born in, and the company commander hugged him: "Good boy, well done! You didn't lose the face of our troops! " Hearing this, two lines of tears poured out.
"Some people like to eat lobster, and I like to help others," Guo said. "If I do more for the society and feel that I am trusted by the masses and needed by the society, I will feel very fulfilled, happy and happy."
In fact, he didn't have such "consciousness" from the beginning. Guo recalled that he had a strong vanity when he was a child and was very happy to hear praise. Later, he joined the party and was rated as a model of learning from Lei Feng. The moment I stood on the podium, I felt that Guo's gains seemed to be far more than that.
The pleasure of helping others is so intoxicating that he is willing to give up all other desires. Since then, Guo's good deeds have become more and more pure: the kindness to everyone is from the heart, and the happiness of harvest is also bubbling from the heart.
Gengguo
Do good deeds and others will look at you differently. Don't laugh, I really feel sublimated.
More and more people have gone to Guo. They donate blood voluntarily, they donate money for education, and they donate hematopoietic stem cells to save others' lives. They are very happy.
On June 5438+February 65438+August 2008, Guo's staff successfully matched a leukemia patient in Wuhan and completed the donation. Later, the patient came to see him. The two embraced each other tightly and tears filled their eyes.
"You can't imagine that kind of feeling, it's amazing. You suddenly have a blood relationship with this stranger. " Xu was very excited to mention this. "I have driven more than 300 tons of electric wheel cars in the mine. It took me eight hours to drive, and I was so tired that I repeated it mechanically every day. I thought this was my life. But after doing these things with Guo Dage, I found that life is still very meaningful. "
"That's right." Li Shuwei said, "I want to make money all my life. I have been tossing for most of my life, but I still haven't caught anything, but I think I have had a good time these years. Do good deeds and others will look at you differently. Don't laugh, I really feel sublimated. "
Now I have participated in all the activities initiated by Guo. Guo has also become a magic weapon. He loves playing mahjong, but he has no money and his wife doesn't give it to him. He lied to his wife that he had gone out with Guo. His wife immediately agreed and gave him 200 yuan, saying, "Our family is not rich either, so just donate some money." "As long as Guo is mentioned, you can't do bad things with Guo. Of course, this trick can't be used often, otherwise I feel sorry for Guo. "
Today, Guo's love team has more than 5800 people. "This is guo. No one else can carry me into the sedan chair. " A woman said.
"I'm still far from Lei Feng, but I still hope you can publicize me more. Because this will let more people know that in this era, Lei Feng's spirit is not outdated. "
The ultimate in helping others.
"Why did you do that?" The reporter asked Guo many times about the situation. This is due to the innate questioning spirit of the profession, and it is also a puzzle that is difficult to solve in everyone's heart.
From Guo's mouth, we didn't get the ideal answer, an answer that accords with our logical chain. Guo is also puzzled by our question. For him, everything is the most natural.
It feels a little mean to ask questions. Shouldn't it be natural for a person to do good deeds and be a good person? Why don't we believe anything? Is there something wrong with our own values?
He said that it is happy to help others. We all believe this, because everyone may have experienced such happiness.
It's just that Guo has done this to the extreme. He not only helps others, but also enjoys poverty. In cities and modern society, this spirit may be even more rare.
Many of us, while becoming house slaves and car slaves, also put on spiritual shackles for ourselves. We have no more energy and strength to care for and help others. We can also say, who will help me?
The Guo family is poor. A family of three, 40 square meters house. However, his wife's calm smile and his daughter's sincere letters from home make me feel that they are happy.
Does he want too little, or do we want too much? Guo said, why is the house so big? As long as you live. As long as the family is together, they are satisfied.
Many times, pain comes from desire. However, Guo has very little material requirements, and he is rigid without desire.
We are all ordinary people, I'm afraid it's hard to reach his height. We may not fully agree with his values. But we can at least give him applause!
