Quzhou's "Cotton Shoes Aunt" Love To Make Shoes For The Elderly In The Nursing Home

Since 2011, Fu Zhenfang has been making shoes almost all but three meals a day and looking after his grandson. In just two years, she has made thousands of pairs of shoes. 7 elderly orphans near the home have already put on her cotton shoes for free.

"When I was little, I did not. shoes Wear, know that the bitter winter is cold, as long as I still do it, I will continue to make shoes. Fu Zhenfang said. She has a grand ambition to make a pair of shoes for the elderly in all the nursing homes in Quzhou.

Roughly estimated, there are also tens of thousands of pairs of shoes. It will take at least ten years to complete. Besides, the cost of making these shoes will be more than ten million yuan. For Fu Zhenfang, whose family is not rich, this is a big difficulty.

"I hope someone can give me some leftover materials for shoes, and do good deeds together." She said.

I didn't have cotton shoes in my childhood, and I had chilblain every year.

She said, see no frozen person.

When Fu Zhenfang was 3 years old, he fell off the high platform because of an accident. "At that time, there was no money in the family, brothers and sisters, and some parents were overweight." Since then, he has fallen into a disability and is still limping now.

Fu Zhenfang didn't go to school, but he could speak a standard Mandarin.

In her memory, the experience of not wearing cotton shoes in childhood was heartbreaking: "when I was in the winter months, my feet were covered with chilblain, and I couldn't get any feet at all." So I see people who can't wear shoes. I know the bitterness of being frozen. "

At the age of 21, Fu Jian Fang After marriage, the husband is also a physically handicapped person. With the diligence of the couple, a pair of children grow up healthily, now they are married and have children, and have their own families.

Usually, Fu Zhenfang takes care of grandson at home. By husband, odd jobs, and sons' monthly living expenses to maintain daily life, "occasionally playing mahjong with neighbors, life can be done."

In November 2011, a Hangzhou relative had children. Fu Zhenfang went to help him for a month. One day, shopping in Wu Shan square, she saw a TV station doing public welfare activities to help some children collect cotton shoes. From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., she stood in the crowd and didn't even know she was hungry.

After returning to the mountain, Fu Zhenfang mahjong did not fight, and she made 60 pairs of wool shoes and 38 pairs of cotton shoes in two months. She carried a large bag of shoes and transferred several trains to the television station, and entrusted them to the children.

She began to make shoes for old people in need.

Asked: why do you give me shoes if you are not kin?

After the return of Hangzhou's shoe delivery, Fu Zhenfang counted out a trip and spent two hundred or three hundred yuan on the road toll. With so much money, you can make more than a dozen pairs of shoes. She thought that it would be worthless to make shoes for people around her.

From then on, when she met the widowed old man in the village, she would say, "I'll give you a pair of cotton shoes."

When the children left behind in the village were not taken care of, she would call the children up to a good size and tell them, "come to my house and get them next time."

However, her kindness is always doubtful. The old man asked her, "Why are you wearing cotton shoes for me?"

"Nothing, do you want it?" Fu Zhenfang answered.

"Why did anyone give it to me? Why not?" The old man said.

In this way, Fu Zhenfang sent out a lot of cotton shoes. "I just feel that these old people and children lack the care of their families. It's pathetic that they want to help them." Fu Zhenfang told reporters.

She ran home in a home for the aged.

Make a pair of shoes for every old man.

Imperceptibly, Fu Zhenfang found that the elderly and children around him had cotton shoes. But she was used to making cotton pads, and seemed unable to stop.

At 6 o'clock in the morning, Fu Zhenfang gets up and washes and fires breakfast. After that, he goes to the "cotton shoe stand" at the corner of the living room to start work: tailoring cloth, sponge, sewing sewing machine, and manually setting sole. Keep busy until 11:30 in the evening.

"If I don't have to work in idle farming, I'll be busy until late at night, and I can make three pairs of shoes in the middle." Fu Zhenfang said.

From 2011 to December 2013, more than 600 days later, Fu Zhenfang made more than 1000 pairs of cotton shoes.

In addition to giving to the villagers, all the other shoes were sent to the elderly in the local nursing home in Changshan. Every time, she would ride an electric car to the nursing home to measure the old man's size, and then come back to make shoes.

She ran a family home for the aged, and one family finished the next one. Now, all the old people in the 7 home care homes near her home are wearing Fu Zhenfang's cotton shoes.

If the factory has unnecessary leftover materials

Please contact her.

"I want to make a pair of shoes for the elderly in all the nursing homes in Quzhou. Changshan county has done the Kaihua and Kaihua done in Longyou." She said.

Fu Zhenfang inquired of the Civil Affairs Department, and roughly estimated that there were at least ten thousand elderly people in all the nursing homes in Quzhou. That is to say, tens of thousands of shoes need her to do. It takes at least 30 years to make a pair each day.

"Have you ever thought that you can't accomplish this task in your whole life?" the reporter asked.

"Then I have to do it." She said with a smile.

Another difficulty is the cost of making shoes. A pair of shoes will cost 14~18 yuan to buy materials, and more than 1000 pairs of shoes that have been finished have already spent more than 20 thousand yuan. If you want to finish the remaining ten thousand pairs of shoes, you need nearly 200 thousand yuan.

Though the family members have not said anything about this, the rural family, which is not well-off, will be overburdened.

"If any garment factory can be used to make Cotton-padded shoes The leftover material can be sent to me, which will save a lot of money. The sole is the most expensive one. I usually buy it in retail, and the price is relatively high. If there are businessmen willing to supply the wholesale price to me, they can also reduce the pressure. " Fu Zhenfang said.

Even if it is cold again in winter, when we hear such warm news, we all feel that spring is coming.
