On 20 15, the "old scavenger" was killed in a car accident, and the stories behind him were uncovered one by one.
The old man, whose real name is Wei Sihao, is a retired high school teacher. After retirement, he took a pension of more than 5600 yuan. He could have been relaxed, but he chose to "subsidize" his life by scavenging. It turned out that he "sponsored" those poor students.
Wei Sihao was a former student of Hangzhou University (now Zhejiang University) 1957. In the 1980s, Wei Sihao participated in the Chinese Dictionary Compilation Group of Hangzhou University. 1999, Wei Sihao retired from Xia Yan Middle School. It was also in that year that Wei Sihao gave up his relaxed old age and began his journey of "scavenging" for more than ten years. But things have changed, and the old people's "scavenging" life suddenly ended at 20151018. According to the traffic police, on the same day, Wei Sihao was knocked down by a taxi while crossing the road, and died in 65438+February 65438+March.
Wei Ting, Wei Sihao's second daughter, showed her father's donation credentials and certificates to reporters: special bills for social organizations in Zhejiang Province, registration cards for pairing assistance for Hope Project in Zhejiang Province, and public assistance certificates for poverty alleviation ... Wei Ting said: "He lives the simplest life and only meets the minimum living needs. Most of the income is used to donate money to help students. The amount of donations has ranged from three or four hundred yuan in the 1990s to three or four thousand yuan now. " In addition to these donation bills, there is also a registration form for Zhang Zhiyuan's body donation, which moved everyone present. How selfless the old man's love is and how thorough his dedication is.
Social assessment
20 14, scavenger Wei sihao washed his hands before reading, which touched countless people. Lou Han Song, a professor at the School of Humanities of Zhejiang University, commented that he is a real scholar. Traditional scholars pay attention to "cherishing words as gold", but in this era, this spirit seems to have gradually faded. From him, we can see a true scholar's spirit of "loving books" and "cherishing books"
20 15, "educator" Wei sihao's "scavenging" is even more touching. "He is also a caring educator. He has great love, donating money to education by scavenging, and doing good deeds silently in an anonymous way. " Lou Han Song said: "The old man Wei Sihao is gone, but his spirit should not die."
