Chapter 3 〇2 Great Love Without Boundaries——Record of the Second National Moral Model Yang Shaojun

A person who is full of love and strives to turn love into practical actions, then his soul is extremely noble, and his charisma is great. Yang Shaojun, 65 years old, is the director of the Sunshine Orphanage in Changde City, Hunan Province. In the past 28 years, he has used all the more than 30 million yuan he earned for charity. He has successively adopted 7 orphans, more than 360 orphans, and more than 40 children of parents serving prison sentences. , disaster victims and laid-off workers. The Sunshine Orphanage he founded was praised by the Ministry of Civil Affairs as "the first hospital in China". Officials from more than 10 countries on four continents, including the United States, Canada, France, Poland, and Uganda, visited and visited here.

In recent years, "People's Daily", CCTV, Hong Kong "Ta Kung Pao", Sina.com and dozens of well-known news media across the country have carried out special reports on his deeds. He won honorary titles such as the first "China Charity Award", "National Advanced Individual Learning from Lei Feng", "National Glorious Star", and was elected as a representative of the 10th and 11th National People's Congress. In 2002, the international charitable organization awarded him the "Love Project Award", becoming the only individual in my country who has won this honor so far.

In September 2009, he was named "National Model of Helping Others", and participated in the 60th National Day Ceremony as a special guest. 1955.One day in early winter.The sky gradually dimmed. After a flood, the surface of the river looked messy and desolate, and the cool wind was blowing and the chill was pressing. 11-year-old Yang Shaojun was paddling a small boat weakly, looking around eagerly with his big eyes.His heart kept calling anxiously: Mom, where are you? All he knew was that he hadn't seen his mother when he woke up in the morning.Dad told him that in order to get some food for the family, my mother sold the clothes she had been reluctant to wear yesterday for 50 cents.Today, I went out alone before dawn, and queued up on the street to buy bean dregs, and prepared to cook wild vegetables with bean dregs as a meal.The whole family has not eaten for two days.

It's been a long time since noon, why hasn't my mother come back yet? The children of the poor headed home early.Yang Shaojun was always thinking about his mother in his heart. He was afraid that something might happen to her and wanted to help her. He thought of taking a boat to pick her up.His stomach was already empty, and he was about to collapse from hunger.Time passed time after time in a hungry stomach. As he paddled, he felt that the oars were getting heavier and heavier, and beads of sweat kept rolling down his forehead.Slowly, his skinny hands became more and more disobedient, and his whole body became limp. Suddenly, countless large and small gold stars burst out in front of his eyes, turning into a pitch black mass, and he lost consciousness...

The boat floated on the lake. "Little boy, wake up!" When Yang Shaojun woke up in a daze, he found himself lying in the main room of a family on the bank.At this time, a kind-hearted grandfather brought a bowl of gruel from the pot, supported Yang Shaojun's body, and asked him to eat it while it was hot. smell good!Haven't smelled this smell for a long time.Yang Shaojun didn't care what happened, he picked up the bowl of gruel and ate it hungrily.He was so hungry, this bowl of porridge seemed to be his life-saving straw, he needed it so much.Gradually, he felt that his internal organs became comfortable in an instant, as if the long-dried seedling field was finally nourished by rain, and his spirit suddenly improved.

"Grandpa, I'm hungry, and I want to eat too." A little sister cried and asked the grandpa for porridge. "Let's eat the elder brother first. He is a guest. If he is hungry or sick, he will die if he doesn't eat." The grandfather kept coaxing the little sister. Looking at the kind grandpa in front of him and the skinny little sister next to him, Yang Shaojun felt that this grandpa must be a good man, because he saved his life.The grandfather waited until Yang Shaojun regained his strength at night before sending him home in person.When parting, the sensible Yang Shaojun cried out and kowtowed to the grandfather.

Later, Yang Shaojun found out that the family of the grandfather who saved his life was actually very poor, and it was rare to see a grain of rice for a few days. The bowl of porridge he ate was almost their family's dinner. A bowl of porridge pulled Yang Shaojun back from the ghost gate and saved his life.A grandfather who had never met before selflessly helped him, so that Yang Shaojun gradually understood the importance of helping others at critical moments and understood the principles of life. Yang Shaojun's grandparents, parents, and mothers also like to do good deeds. Sometimes begging people pass by the door, even if they don't eat or drink themselves, they still want to give food to others.This kind of family influence also played a subtle role in the little Yang Shaojun.

Since then, the seeds of selflessness, kindness and caring have taken root, blossomed and bear fruit in Yang Shaojun's young heart. "Others helped me and saved my life, so I also want to help others." Yang Shaojun thought simply, and secretly vowed in his heart that when he grows up and has the ability, he must repay others, repay the society, and do his best. Do what you can, do good deeds, do good deeds, like the old man, help those in need around you, like the old man, "I would rather not eat myself, but give food to the hungry." It was that unforgettable experience in his youth that led Yang Shaojun to embark on the road of philanthropy.

He understood that in order to help others, in addition to enthusiasm and a hot heart, he must also have a certain financial strength.So, he started to move towards this goal. In 1980, in the spring breeze of reform and opening up, Yang Shaojun took the lead in setting up a pig farm and winery in Danzhou Township, Changde County.After painstaking efforts and hard work, in just two years, his family got rid of the hat of poverty and became a rare "million-dollar household" in the village. In addition to supporting the family of 8 people, old and young, Yang Shaojun still has some money left over.At this time, he thought about doing something good for the folks in the village.

Most people do good deeds by chance, and most of them meet poor people by some chance, and their hearts are touched, so they help.But Yang Shaojun is different. Before the word "charity" became popular in China, Yang Shaojun was already consciously supporting the widows and orphans around him, and he was supporting many elderly people at the same time, and the support lasted for more than 10 years! At that time, in Yanghu Village, Danzhou Township, where he lived, there were several widowed and lonely old people who were unable to work and had no children to take care of their daily life. Yang Shaojun felt that the life of these old people was very difficult and deserved sympathy.

It didn't take long for him to take the initiative to take care of the elderly on his own initiative.Regularly send money, food and vegetables to households with five guarantees who have housing and are in better health every month, and help them carry water and firewood, do laundry and wash quilts.Three homeless old people, Yang Shaojun, simply took them home and hired someone to wash and cook for them, and take care of their daily life, so that these old people lived a life without worrying about food and clothing. Usually, Yang Shaojun always squeezes time, often greets these lonely old people, and chats with them.When the old people wanted to go shopping, Yang Shaojun accompanied them to the market to watch the fun and do some shopping.The old people wanted to watch a play, so Yang Shaojun took them to the theater to watch the show.When every old man celebrates his birthday, Yang Shaojun will buy a birthday cake, light candles, gather his family members, hold a short ceremony, and bless the old man in unison, making the old man very happy. In his eyes, these old people are his relatives.In the eyes of the old people, Yang Shaojun is more filial than his own son. Once, Father Liu was sick and couldn't defecate. He took some medicine but it didn't work.Seeing Liu's pain, Yang Shaojun insisted on using his own fingers to help Liu's butt hole bit by bit.Father Liu was moved to tears. For more than 10 years, it is not an easy task to selflessly take care of those lonely old people, but Yang Shaojun did it. In the early spring of 1994, when the last old man around him left with satisfaction and a smile, Yang Shaojun held a solemn funeral for him. As long as the locals talk about Yang Shaojun, they all give him a thumbs up.His good deeds are well-known locally. After seeing off the last old man, Yang Shaojun didn't feel "relieved", but felt a little lost. He is a very emotional person. During that time, he always felt that something was missing in his heart.Yes, the old people who had been supported for so many years and formed a deep relationship just left one by one and disappeared from Yang Shaojun's life one by one.Although this is an inevitable law of life, Yang Shaojun still couldn't bear them in his heart. He was so sad that he burst into tears... One day, Yang Shaojun was hurrying on his way when he suddenly found a lot of people surrounded in front of him.He also heard a child's heart-wrenching cry, so he couldn't help but go up to see what happened. He pushed aside the crowd, and it turned out that a stout man was punching a thin twelve or thirteen-year-old child.There were bright red fingerprints on the child's face, and even the nosebleed was punched out. Standing in the crowd, Yang Shaojun couldn't help asking loudly, "Why are you so cruel? You beat your son like this." The man ignored Yang Shaojun, and raised his hands to continue expressing the anger in his chest. Yang Shaojun stepped forward angrily, grabbed the man's hand, and intercepted a slap that was about to fall in the air. The man said fiercely: "None of your business? Who told him to steal my buns!" Yang Shaojun knelt down and looked at the child in bewilderment: his clothes were ragged, his face was dirty, his pair of white sneakers had been worn black, and his two big toes were protruding from the holes. The child cried and told Yang Shaojun intermittently that he was an orphan and that his sick grandmother was over 70 years old and was lying at home with no one to take care of him. He and his grandmother hadn’t eaten anything for two days. buns to eat. Yang Shaojun felt sour. He had experienced starvation when he was a child, and he could understand the difficulties of an orphan even more.His eye sockets became moist, and he was full of pity for the child in front of him. He pulled the child aside to comfort him, then turned to the man and said, "Stop beating him, he stole your three buns, and I will pay for it. " When Yang Shaojun left the crowd, he took out 5 yuan from his body and handed it to the child, asking him to buy something for grandma to eat.He also told the child to find relatives and the government after returning home, explain his situation clearly, and strive for everyone's help. Although this matter has passed for a long time, Yang Shaojun has been thinking about it and can't let it go, and he can't calm down.He thought, these orphans have no parents, no one to take care of them at a young age, and even live in other places, it is really pitiful.It's even more terrifying once you get out of the society and do evil.If someone can help them, it may change their life. As a result, Yang Shaojun gradually came up with the idea of ​​helping orphans.He wants to run an orphanage to build a new warm home for those poor children who have lost their relatives and have no food and clothing, so that they can live happily and healthily like other children, receive good education, and change their unfortunate fate. All beginnings are hard. At the beginning of the establishment of the orphanage, Yang Shaojun realized that the funding gap was too great.However, what he is sure of is to do everything he can.He took out his savings for many years and sold the equipment of his small winery, which was not doing well. He also borrowed 160,000 yuan from a few friends to repaint the old factory building and buy a batch of daily necessities for orphans... … March 1, 1996 was a very exciting day for Yang Shaojun.With the strong support of Changde Municipal Party Committee, Municipal Government, Wuling District Party Committee, District Government and Civil Affairs Department, a Sunshine Orphanage with an area of ​​12 acres, 4 bungalows and a 3,000-square-meter complex was officially opened.26 children from 9 districts, counties and cities under the jurisdiction of Changde settled here. There are study rooms, entertainment rooms, courts, restaurants, bathhouses, dormitories, etc. Each of the children has a bed, a desk, and a bedside table.There are electric fans in the dormitory, and heating and cooling air conditioners in the study room.Twelve staff members were also hired to be responsible for their study guidance and life management. Then, Yang Shaojun ran around for them, settled the urban household registration, completed the enrollment procedures nearby, bought clothes, shoes, hats, schoolbags and stationery... Yang Shaojun said that the reason why the orphanage is named "Sunshine" is to hope that the orphans can enjoy the sunshine and rain of the party, live a happy life and thrive like children from other normal families. Indeed, with Yang Shaojun’s new nest of milk swallows that shelters the wind and rain, the orphans, like other children, have a warm home and start a new life. As time went by, the farmers around the orphanage lived in buildings one by one.Yang Shaojun is worried that the children mistakenly think that the "home" in the orphanage is worse than others, which will stimulate the inferiority complex hidden in the young hearts, which is not good for the children's learning and growth.Therefore, Yang Shaojun made up his mind to further change his appearance as soon as possible. "I must let the children live in high-rise buildings and have a first-class living and learning environment." After making up his mind, Yang Shaojun began to work hard towards his goal.He tightened his belt and kept accumulating funds from his own teeth. At the same time, with the strong support of leaders at all levels and relevant departments, he invested more than 3 million yuan in 2000 to build the best 4 in the local area. story orphan apartment building. In 2001, more than 3 million yuan was invested to build two modern logistics and staff buildings. In 2002, more than 5 million yuan was invested in the urban area to build a dormitory for orphans. In 2004, more than 4 million yuan was invested to build a comprehensive office building and a large garden covering an area of ​​200 square meters in the courtyard... This change made those children with fathers and mothers far and near envy them. In the orphanage, Yang Shaojun naturally became the guardian of the orphans. He always shouldered heavy responsibilities in terms of study, life, body, psychology, and even higher education, enlistment, and employment. Some children who have been in the society have been contaminated with many bad habits and bad habits. To turn them around and make them go on the right path, Yang Shaojun really worked hard. Yang Shaojun formulated the orphanage’s policy of “bringing up, teaching well, and becoming talented” for the orphanage, clarified the service tenet of “all for the children” for the staff, and established the “learning to survive, learning to know” for the orphans. , learn to keep fit, learn to be a person" goal.Yang Shaojun not only taught by precepts and deeds, cared for, cared for and educated the children as if they were his own, but also asked the 28 recruited staff to maintain a love, love public welfare undertakings, be serious and responsible, set an example for the children, and be a good role model. example. The orphanage implements school-style education, militarized management, and family-style services.Get up on time every day, wash, do exercises, eat, attend classes, and study by yourself.Most children do not know when their birthday is, so Yang Shaojun took March 1, when the orphanage was established, as the children's common birthday.On this day, no matter how busy Yang Shaojun was, he would find time to buy a big cake, so that the children could happily sing "Happy Birthday to You" and eat the sweet cake.He wants to use these practices and scenes to slowly touch the young hearts of orphans. In order for the orphans to get in touch with the outside world and integrate into the society as soon as possible, Yang Shaojun allowed these orphans to study in regular schools from the first grade of elementary school, and helped them pay full tuition fees to avoid being discriminated against and hurting their hearts. Yang Shaojun regards every child in the courtyard as his family's sweetheart, loving and caring for them all the time. Li Xia is an orphan from the neighborhood committee of Banbian Street in the east of the city. His parents died when he was young.When he was 12 years old, his only relative, his grandmother, also left him, so he had no choice but to wander in society.Forced by life, he often steals and fights.On the first day he was admitted to the hospital, other children called him the boss, gave him money, and beat anyone who refused. He often wetted the bed.Yang Shaojun heard that eating dog meat could cure his bedwetting problem, so he bought dog meat to stew for him for a month, and bought Chinese medicine to nourish his body. Careful care made Li Xia healthy and felt the warmth of home.At the same time, Yang Shaojun strikes while the iron is hot, and talks to him several times, which makes Li Xia gradually become sensible. Not only does he no longer act like a king, but he also loves and cares for his younger siblings in the orphanage like an older brother. Yang Shaojun's love has always been the motivation for Li Xia to study.Li Xia worked harder and harder in his studies, and later every time he got the first place in the class.During the college entrance examination, he was admitted to the Macau University of Science and Technology with excellent results, and also won the principal's scholarship of the school. However, in 2005, Li Xia, who was studying at university, suddenly suffered from kidney failure and needed first aid.Yang Shaojun, who got the news, was so anxious that he rushed to Macau overnight and negotiated with the school to send Li Xia to the hospital with the best kidney transplantation technology in the Mainland for emergency treatment.At that time, the kidney source was very tight, and Yang Shaojun was so anxious that he had no choice but to ask the relevant departments of Zhuhai City for help, and finally found a suitable kidney source, and funded the kidney replacement operation for Li Xia. It made Li Xia's condition turn from danger to safety, and he was able to continue to complete his studies. Over the past 14 years since Yang Shaojun ran the orphanage, more than 160 orphans have been integrated into the society as adults. Some are studying at universities or postgraduates, some have become people's teachers, and some have entered public institutions. They are conscientious and outstanding in their jobs.Among them, 18 orphans joined the army, 1 as a battalion cadre, 5 as squad leader, 4 as non-commissioned officers, 5 as outstanding soldiers, and 3 for meritorious service. Yang Shaojun's love is broad, and his charity is broad. In addition to painstakingly managing the orphanage, he also disregards personal gains and losses for the disadvantaged groups in society, and helps them when they are in trouble.Sometimes as long as he hears that someone needs help, he will take the initiative to come to the door and ask for help.Some people say that Yang Shaojun is addicted to charity, which is true. Once, Yang Shaojun learned that there were some underage children of couples who were inmates living at home and had no one to supervise them. As a result, most of them were out of school at home, or they were broken, and it also affected their parents' ideological reform. Yang Shaojun couldn't bear it.For this reason, I rushed to Changsha, the provincial capital, to find the leader of the Provincial Prison Administration Bureau, and proposed to adopt a group of such children.After listening to the report, the leaders of the Prison Bureau were moved to tears and said gratefully: "Old Yang, you have helped us a lot and solved a big problem!" August 25, 2008.An activity called "Sunshine Warmth Action" in Hunan Province was officially launched at the Sunshine Orphanage in Changde City. The first batch of 25 underage children from various prisons in the province began to study in the hospital.Soon, the number of people in this area reached more than 40 people. One day in 2005, a moving scene appeared in the courtyard of the orphanage: a young man with the appearance of a farmer came to Yang Shaojun with his parents, thanked him a thousand times, burst into tears, and then knelt down in front of everyone... It turned out that two months ago, when Yang Shaojun went to the hospital to visit an employee who was hospitalized, he saw a skinny rural boy about 17 or 18 years old lying on a hospital bed, panting heavily, and his parents were crying loudly at the same time. Clean up your laundry.When Yang Shaojun asked why, he learned that they were from Shuixi Township, Taoyuan County. His child, Tang Weifeng, suffered from a brain tumor and spent nearly 60,000 yuan in hospital in Guangdong Province. All the furniture, and more than 30,000 yuan in debt.Now the hospital has informed them that the child's illness is difficult to cure, and the hospitalization fees paid have already been spent, so they can only be discharged from the hospital and go home to arrange funeral arrangements. "If we go back like this, the child will have to wait to die!" The parents who were less than 50 years old looked at their dying son, looked up to the sky and sighed, tears streaming down their faces.The patient at the side said, "The family of three will have to eat pickled mustard for 50 cents for a few days. It's really pitiful." As Yang Shaojun listened, his eye sockets became moist, like a stick in his throat.Without saying a word, he hurriedly comforted Tang Weifeng's parents: "Don't leave the hospital, I'll find a way!" Then he turned his head and told the staff who came with him to deliver a nutritious meal to Tang Weifeng every day. Soon, he drove to Changsha himself and found the famous Professor Liu of Xiangya Hospital to diagnose the child.He also paid 10,000 yuan in advance for Tang Weifeng's medical expenses, and promised that he would be responsible for all expenses.Before leaving, Yang Shaojun took out another 1,000 yuan to pay Tang Weifeng's parents for living expenses.Due to the timely diagnosis, the patient recovered and was discharged from the hospital in just over a month. October 2006.Yang Shaojun learned from local newspapers that Hu Ping, a local woman working far away in Hainan, was suffering from cancer and had reached an advanced stage. She was hospitalized in Haikou City Hospital and had to default on a huge amount of treatment fees.Her relatives were too poor to afford any expenses, including travel expenses, and they dared not go to take care of them.The dying Ms. Hu's greatest wish is to see her relatives before she dies. After reading the report, Yang Shaojun's heart tightened again and he felt very uncomfortable.He immediately put down the newspaper, took out his mobile phone, found Ms. Hu's mother through the newspaper office, persuaded her family, and contacted her to buy 4 air tickets to take them to Haikou. Seeing the unconscious patient, Yang Shaojun and her relatives worked hard to do a good job in the hospital, and decided to take the patient back to Changde for treatment after discussing together.The patient could not sit on the plane, so Yang Shaojun repeatedly contacted the airline to explain the situation, and the company agreed to deal with it as a special case, dismantling three seats and allowing the patient to take the plane lying down.Before departure, Yang Shaojun called Changde No. 1 Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine and sent an ambulance to Taohuayuan Airport to meet him. Before and after the entire voyage, Yang Shaojun, who was neither relative nor relative, was sweating profusely, and the patient's family members were moved to tears. Once, Yang Shaojun visited the mountainous area of ​​Shimen County, which is known as the "roof of Hunan". He saw individual lonely old people living in dilapidated houses covered with hard and black quilts, and the beds were made of several stones and door panels. , the stove is stacked by some shapeless bricks, and the property of a house does not exceed 300 yuan. Xu Yucui, a lonely old man, was bedridden for a long time because of sores and pus on her legs.The village had no money to hire someone to take care of her, let alone give her treatment, so the village cadres had to take turns to wash the affected area with salt water for the elderly. This situation moved Yang Shaojun.Whenever he sees such a scene, he will give 500 yuan. When Yang Shaojun inspected a rural nursing home, he learned that the living expenses of more than 50 people were only 5,000 yuan per month, including the wages of 4 staff members. The average food cost per person was only 2 yuan per day. The difference in life can be imagined.He immediately asked his accompanying assistants to deliver pork to the elderly in the nursing home once a day in the future, and 2,000 yuan of pork would be given a month.Since then, the old people have meat to eat every day, and their lives are getting better and better. Over the past few years, Yang Shaojun spent more than 150,000 yuan on pork for this nursing home. The daughter of Gao Guilin, a resident of Changde City's Deshan Development Zone, Gao Chao was crushed by a motorcycle and became permanently disabled.The court ruled that the perpetrator should pay 37,000 yuan, but the perpetrator was unable to compensate. Gao Guilin wanted to cry but had no choice but to distribute distress letters everywhere.After Yang Shaojun found out, he donated generously and went to Shanghai to order prosthetics for Gao Chao. He also sponsored a kidney transplant for Xiao Shuaiying's mother.Helping 4 Sichuan migrant workers return to their hometowns for the New Year.Rescue the dying elderly in Yiyang to return home.Helping an old Hanshou worker to treat his son suffering from uremia... There are many, many such cases, each of which has a touching story... Yang Shaojun’s reputation for being kind and charitable is not only well-known among women and children in Changde, but also in the whole province and the whole country, so that people from all over the country come to him, or write to ask for help, or call for help, and some even come to Changde from thousands of miles away to ask for help.Yang Shaojun helped each other enthusiastically and tried his best to solve their emergencies and difficulties. On the contact card he handed to others, he wrote this: "If you have any urgent, difficult, or troublesome matters, you can contact me, and I will do my best to help you." Yang Shaojun said many times: "I am a person who can't see suffering, can't listen to pity, and can't let go of difficulties." Yes, Yang Shaojun really deserves to be a self-conscious philanthropist who helps when he hears a problem. Perhaps, someone will ask, where did Yang Shaojun get his money from?Is it sponsored by all directions?the answer is negative. Yang Shaojun's philanthropy is different. He runs an economic entity with one hand and a charitable entity with the other. He uses the income of the economic entity to protect and promote the development of the charitable entity. Yang Shaojun accepts donations of school and sports supplies from the society to the Sunshine Orphanage, but he never accepts donations from the society, not even a penny. He spent all his hard-earned money.He said that his own money was enough, and using the money he earned not only felt at ease, but also set an example of self-reliance and hard work for the children in the orphanage. The "Sunshine Orphanage" he built with painstaking efforts is supported by a series of economic entities he founded.He used his wisdom and industrious hands to develop the economy and accumulate wealth as the foundation and support for his philanthropy. For charity, Yang Shaojun had to study and do business. He set up a driving school, a clothing processing factory, and a pig farm, and managed these entities with all his heart, constantly struggling. In the face of fierce market competition, Yang Shaojun carried forward the spirit and drive to start his fortune by raising pigs, and managed the three entities with heart.He widely recruits outstanding talents, implements democratic management, and establishes an incentive mechanism. He is not ashamed to ask others for knowledge that he does not understand. This is already overloaded for a person who is over sixty years old and suffering from various chronic diseases, but Yang Shaojun gritted his teeth and persisted.There is only one goal in his heart, and that is to make his entity steady and develop step by step. In recent years, the three entities have made an annual profit of more than 2 million yuan. Except for the cost of expanding reproduction and working capital, all the income of the entity is used for the construction of the orphanage and various expenses for the orphans. In order to run the orphanage well with one heart and one mind, Yang Shaojun tried every means to strengthen management, increase efficiency, accumulate funds, and never spend a penny indiscriminately. For a while, in order to alleviate the sudden increase in economic pressure, Yang Shaojun raised funds from various sources and planned to purchase 5 taxis and put them into operation.At that time, a relative came to him and asked him to borrow money to start a business.Yang Shaojun said, your business is a matter for a small family, you can take it easy, the matter of the Sunshine Orphanage is a major social matter, and there is no delay. I really have no money to lend you.The relative hit a wall and had to leave angrily. Yang Shaojun's family has repeatedly proposed to build a house by himself, but Yang Shaojun always said that there is no rush, and procrastinated. In fact, he did not want to disperse funds and energy.So the whole family is still crowded in a rented narrow public house. In order to solve the employment problem of more and more adult orphans and provide more sources of funds, a few years ago, Yang Shaojun tried his best to borrow more than 10 million yuan, expropriated more than 30 acres of land, and built an employment center for adult orphans. At present, the center plans to introduce several Production items.After the center is fully put into operation, not only can the adult orphans of the hospital be employed on the spot, but it can also become a new economic growth point for the orphanage and form a stronger financial backing for his charity. For more than 20 years, Yang Shaojun has worked hard to create more than 30 million yuan in profits from his own business, and he has not hesitated to use all of it for his favorite charity.No wonder he often said that I use the money I earn to do good deeds, and I feel very happy in my heart. It is more valuable for a person who only has two pies to give others one pie than for a person who has enough food and clothing to treat others to a delicious meal, because what he needs is not only love, but also the kind of broadness hidden in his heart The great power of universal love and self-denial. From this point of view, according to the ratio of personal assets and funds used for charity, it can be said that Yang Shaojun is a philanthropist who does his best. For charity, Yang Shaojun has gone through ups and downs, ups and downs, and suffered a lot. I remember that when he first proposed to open an orphanage, his family members opposed it, and no one even expressed his approval.The parents said that the family has just solved the problem of food and clothing after a lot of trouble, and they have a little savings, but they have to toss about it, or they will become a meat cook and lose money. Several brothers and sisters even ridiculed: You have the ability to help others, why don't you help us first?We are not out of poverty yet! People in the neighborhood also commented that he is over 50 years old. He suffered so much when he was a child, but now his life is better. Yang Shaojun could understand the opposition of his family and others, and finally persuaded his family to support him.He didn't want to give up his plan anyway, because he himself had suffered too much when he was a child, and he knew what it was like for orphans to wander around.There is a warm current surging in his heart, which needs to be passed on... For traditional Chinese people, it seems that one's wealth must be passed on to the descendants of the family.But Yang Shaojun didn't think so. He thought: A person's life is just a few decades, as long as they have housing, food, and clothes, what do they do with so much money?After death, all property belongs to society. "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. There is no need to leave property to your own descendants. If your children and grandchildren have the ability, you don't leave any property to them, and they can rely on their own ability to start their own business. If they are not up to date, No matter how much property you keep, he will lose it soon!" Yang Shaojun said. He said that it is indeed a very meaningful thing to do some good deeds with his meager power, to help those helpless children and change their lives. In the days of starting a business, he always practiced himself and worked by himself, not afraid of getting dirty or tired, and sometimes insisted on working despite illness. Orphans entered the orphanage, and the orphanage is the home of the orphans, so Yang Shaojun naturally became their guardian.The orphan's study, life, psychology, emotion, body, and even the responsibilities of entering a higher education, enlisting in the army, resettlement after leaving the army, and employment almost all fall on his shoulders.Take the children's illness as an example, just minor injuries and illnesses, there are many times in a month that need to be dealt with.There are always a few cases of appendix surgery every year, and Yang Shaojun personally goes to the hospital to arrange treatment. No matter which child has a sudden illness, no matter it is late at night, as long as he needs an injection, water, or operation, he will drive from the city to the orphanage himself, and then return to the orphanage. Take the child to the best hospital in the city for timely treatment. Since Yang Shaojun is familiar with orphans, he can tell the basic situation of almost every child in the orphanage.There is a pair of twin sisters. It is difficult for ordinary people to tell who is the older sister and who is the younger sister, but Yang Shaojun can tell the difference at any time.The expressions on the sisters' faces when they called "Grandpa Yang", and the scene when they talked with Yang Shaojun, people who don't know, think they are a family. In the autumn of 1998, severe floods occurred in the Yuanshui and Lishui basins in Hunan.Yang Shaojun saw it and was anxious. He thought that many families would suffer in this flood, and many people would have problems eating, dressing and living. He should help and do his best. Just do it. In the early morning of September 13, Yang Shaojun hurriedly drove to the disaster area in Li County, more than 100 kilometers away.As soon as he arrived in the disaster area, he did not stop to understand the situation and start rescue.He saw an injured child next to a collapsed house. When he could not find other relatives at the time, Yang Shaojun offered to take the child to live in an orphanage.For several days in a row, Yang Shaojun went out at 6 o'clock in the morning and didn't return home until midnight. He sent supplies and warmth to the victims and relieved the government's burden. One year, the orphanage had to admit 60 new orphans.On the day of signing up for the medical examination, nearly 100 orphans, more than 200 accompanying relatives, and staff from the county and township teams crowded the orphanage.Yang Shaojun happened to suffer from waist disease in those two days, and the pain was unbearable, but he still insisted on receiving guests.He personally took everyone to visit the appearance and facilities of the orphanage, inquired about the situation of the orphans one by one, solicited the opinions of the orphans themselves, went to a large hospital to conduct physical examinations on the orphans, and even arranged and checked the board and lodging of more than 300 people in person.After two days, Yang Shaojun was so tired that he couldn't straighten his back and lost two catties. Yang Shaojun is as busy as a spinning top all day long.Sometimes he goes into the workshop, checks the quality, asks about sales, and calculates the profit. Sometimes he talks to the orphan, asking questions about this and that... He endures hardships and bears hardships without complaint. When he is busy, he only eats one or two meals a day. Can only go to bed after 1:00.He really threw himself on his career like crazy, busy with sleepless nights and food.My wife said that he didn't have a small family in his heart, and all he pretended was how to help others. Someone calculated an account for Yang Shaojun. In the past 15 years, he has worked more than 5,400 hours a year. Over the years, Yang Shaojun has been generous to others but stingy to himself.He has always insisted on saving food and clothing, not smoking, not drinking, not playing cards, not going to leisure and entertainment places, and he even dresses like a farmer, which is so ordinary that it cannot be more ordinary. Many people around him also poured cold water on him, thinking that Yang Shaojun is stupid, he is rich and famous and has not worked day and night, so why should he suffer such a loss? 杨绍军却说：“我愿意做这样的傻子。再过10年我就是两鬓斑白的老人了，这些孩子也将一个个长大成才，我并不希望他们给我个人回报，只想他们对国家、对人民、对社会有所贡献。” 乌干达国家妇女代表团在访问杨绍军的阳光孤儿院时，曾给予极高评价。代表团有人惊奇地问杨绍军：“你是什么级别的干部？” 当时，杨绍军不假思索自豪地回答：“我是一名普通的中国老百姓。” 2007年3月，在全国人大会议上，中共中央总书记胡锦涛在听了他的汇报后非常高兴，也给予了高度赞扬。这是杨绍军终生难忘的，每当想起总书记对自己的鼓励和鞭策他就信心满满，动力无限…… 上善若水，大爱无边。 从事慈善事业是艰难的，困苦的，也是漫长的，杨绍军能一直坚持到今天，实属不易。 28年，弹指一挥间。杨绍军由一个意气风发的青年人在忙忙碌碌之间就渐渐步入老年。28年，又是多么的漫长。近1万个日日夜夜，杨绍军完完全全地为孤儿，为困境中的人们不辞辛劳，毫不吝啬地耗费着自己的一滴滴心血…… 雁过留声，人过留名。 杨绍军常说：一个人活在世上能使更多的人幸福和快乐，那他自己当然是更幸福、更快乐。这样的人生是多么有意义、有价值。 富以能施为德。是的，财富本身没有热血，但她可以变得有情有义，可以成为万人敬仰的慈善。行善是一种美德，行善就是一种良心的播种。 生活在我们尊敬中的慈善家，远比孤独地占有银行存折上的数字的守财者要更伟大、更光荣。杨绍军就是这样一个不断奉献的慈善家。 是啊，杨绍军是平凡的，但他的确是伟大的。他让我们看到了一个灵魂的高尚，他让我们感受到了人格的魅力，感受到了人世间的无限温暖。 这是一个慈善家、有社会责任感的企业家永续不断的人性光芒的闪现。 他的伟大，足以让我们热血沸腾，激情澎湃，从现在做起，从脚下做起…… 阳春三月，生机勃勃。杨绍军参加完第十一届全国人民代表大会后，便马不停蹄地赶回了孤儿院。他说心中的目标更高了，干劲更大了，肩上的担子也更重了。 是啊，他在洞庭湖畔的常德又将谱写慈善事业的新篇章…… （作者帅泽鹏：湖南省作家协会会员、常德市作家协会副主席、常德日报社记者站站长、先后发表文学作品约300多万字，已由出版社公开出版诗歌集《小荷》、《抒情的天空》、《田园》、《每个人都是一扇门》和报告文学集《青春的答卷》等。有100多件作品获奖。）
