The 72-year-old man is a 4 yuan seeker for 50 years, and he is paying a thousand yuan to pay his debts.

Zhou Pingfen, 72, is a native of Xiangtan, Hunan Province, and now lives in Zhuzhou City. In the summer of 50 years ago, she was troubled by the fact that she was passing through Yichun. A good-hearted uncle who gave birth to her was loaned 4 yuan, but she failed to repay it in time.

Because of her feelings of the past, since the 1990s, she has used her own methods to "repay debts". She has done good things for decades, and has been praised by the local media and the public as "Lei Feng Mama."

The pain of "fail to keep the promise" has plagued Zhou Pingfen for half a century. On August 8 this year, she was suffering from hardships. She took a thousand dollars from the Baobao bottle and took a hot summer vacation from Hunan to Jiangxi to find the good-hearted uncle of the year. "We must pay back the debts in person and apologize in person. Otherwise, we will die." ".

For life

50 years ago, "going Jiangxi "

Zhou Pingfen actually had a half-century relationship with Jiangxi.

"I was raised, my hometown is in Xiangtan Village, Hunan. In the 1950s and 1960s, Hunan people were fashionable to go to Jiangxi. At that time, the family was too poor and often had no food. In 1960, 19-year-old and my cousin from Xiangtan together. When I came to Yichun, I had dinner and the second was for the future. Zhou Pingfen recalled that she was a member of the Chinese Communist Party and was a cultural person. She wanted to come to Jiangxi to read the Communist Party, but she failed to do so.

In March 1960, Zhou Pingfen first worked in a chemical factory in Yichun for a few days, knocking the ore every day; then working in a steel factory next to the train station; in March 1961, she went to work in Pingxiang, a coal mine, not long after In April of that year, he returned to his hometown of Xiangtan.

Zhou Pingfen said that at the time, the family was short of food, lack of money, lack of labor... For a long time at home, the neighbor’s gossip was more, and there were more complaints at home. It’s said that it’s so big, no job, no marriage, it’s hard to be at home. Grandma and then go?

"At the time, a boy who was a soldier in Nanchang had been writing to pursue me. After he went on a business trip to Changsha in 1963, he went to Xiangtan for two days and two nights to go to my home. I went to Changsha and missed it. He After waiting for me for two days, I asked my parents before returning to the army. I asked him to go to his army anyway. The family was very satisfied with him and he always urged me to go to the army."

It was this time that Zhou Pingfen met a period that made her miss half a century.

When I meet a good person, I will lend her 4 yuan.

"The fate of man is really unclear. He is very good to me, but I didn't want to get married at that time. I went to the army to see him. He only said that he would consider it." Later, Zhou Pingfen boarded the train back to Hunan from Nanchang.

In the car, she thought about it and felt that if she returned home, she would not agree to marry, but would be swallowed up by the neighbor's proverbs and family members. “When I think that many fellow villagers are finding jobs in the Yifeng Forestry Farm, I want to make a last fight – go to Yifeng to find a job.”

Because there was no money on his body, Zhou Pingfen took a car to go to the high truck after getting off at Yichun Railway Station. She wants to go to Yifeng anyway, and it is better to take a ride.

Zhou Pingfen said that the vehicle bumped for a long time and went to Shanggao, but did not enter the city. After passing a wooden bridge, there was an auto repair shop. Next to it was a road to Fenyi. The truck driver took her to the repair shop and might want to see if she had to go to Yifeng.

In the repair shop, the truck driver said to a 40-year-old uncle: "Uncle, you are from Hunan, this week sister is your fellow. She is having trouble now."

Unhappy uncle asked: "What difficulties have you encountered?"

"She wants to go to Yifeng but she has no money."

"No money? Want to borrow money?"

"Yeah. Can you borrow some?"

"How much?"

"4 blocks."

......

In this way, in a short conversation, the uncle quickly took 4 yuan to her.

Hard to beat

The name of the benefactor is forgotten

"Now it seems that 4 yuan is negligible, but in that difficult time, it is not a small amount. I remember that I borrowed two neighbors for two months to eat for half a month." In the most difficult time, I met a good-hearted person, Zhou Pingfen moved No, I used paper and notes to write the name of my uncle, and agreed to go back to Yifeng to find a job.

The uncle smiled a little and didn't say much.

However, after Yifeng, Zhou Pingfen did not find a job smoothly, but the fellow was enthusiastic to help her match the introduction.

"I want to marry someone, I am married early, why bother to go to Yifeng to marry someone?" Zhou Pingfen then returned to his hometown. A year later, she married a former colleague who worked in Pingxiang and began a wandering life.

Zhou Pingfen said that he lived a "wandering" life because his husband worked in the geological team. After he got married, he first worked in Jiangxi Leping, and soon followed the geological team to Chuzhou, Nanchang, and Yushu.

Because the husband's composition is the "landlord", in that special era, the husband and her are always being punished. One night, the couple were taken out to "make sports." The little son who had just been born for more than 40 days rolled down from the bed and fell into a disability...

Special times, hardships of life, poverty of families, inconvenience of transportation... After a few decades, the names of good-hearted uncles who were originally engraved in their minds are gradually forgotten; the notes that write the names of good-hearted uncles have also moved many times. Lost in. The wish to return the uncle's 4 yuan has become a long-cherished wish for 50 years.

Hard return

Praised as "Lei Feng Mama"

In 1976, the Zhou Pingfen family left Jiangxi and returned to live in Zhuzhou, Hunan.

In the late 1980s, she broke up with her husband.

There is no job, there is a disabled son, but the strong Zhou Pingfen has not been crushed by the hardships of life, doing small work, setting up stalls, selling small commodities...

Although he has done a lot of work, Zhou Pingfen’s economic pressure is still very large. The local government gave her a lot of help and gave the mother and son a minimum guarantee.

With the help of good-hearted people and the government, Zhou Ping-Fen keeps his mind in mind, and borrowing 4 yuan for the unsuccessful heart disease drives her to return to society.

Since the 1990s, Zhou Pingfen, who is nearly 60 years old, has begun to join the public interest: in Zhuzhou Bus Company, he is obliged to clean the bus, wash the curtains, give the driver winter hot water and send the herbal tea for more than ten years; take care of a lonely old man for 15 years. She did not have the money to offer her love, but she became one of the earliest donors of corneas and remains in Hunan Province; in 1998, Hunan Yueyang suffered from floods, and she went on foot to rescue the disaster... It was called “Lei Feng Mama” by the Hunan media and the public.

In 2019, Zhou Pingfen, who was nearly seventy years old, had thought about it alone. However, after several decades have passed, the local area has undergone earth-shaking changes. There is no name or surname, and people are looking for a needle in a haystack...

On August 8, 2019, Zhou Pingfen once again came to Yichun to "repay debts." She said that for 50 years, she can no longer wait, can not leave with regret. If she can't find a good-hearted uncle, she wants to donate 1,000 yuan from the Baobao special bottle to the person who needs help from Shanggao...

Go to Shanggao

Try to find "good-hearted uncle"

On August 12, the reporter of the new legal system newspaper accompanied Zhou Pingfen to Shanggao to find the "good-hearted uncle."

Without a name, it is very difficult to find someone. The police officers of Shanggao County Public Security Bureau gave enthusiasm after hearing.

According to the only clue provided by Zhou Pingfen. The police of the Shanggao County Public Security Bureau said that it is in line with the "one fork to the intersection of the road into the city". It is located in the oblique mouth of Jinjiang Town, Shanggao County.

"This is the old 320 national highway into the high junction. It used to be high from Yichun. This is the only way to go." The police officer of the Jinjiang police station in Xiekou Village paid for the three treasures and the police officers immediately came to the oblique mouth of Jinjiang Town with Zhou Pingfen. The bridge, pointing to an old bridge pier not far from the stone bridge, said: "This is the original wooden bridge. It collapsed in 1971. This repaired the current stone bridge. The bridge in the past is now a state-run repair shop. ""

After standing on the bridge for a while, Zhou Pingfen’s emotions gradually became excited...

"Yes! Yes! Seeing this old bridge, this place just remembered..." The old man suddenly slammed and screamed in the direction of the original repair shop. "I'm sorry! Sorry, Uncle, you must have blamed me for 50 years, and blame yourself for being a liar..."

A 52-year-old villager named Huang in Xiekou Village said: "The full name of the repair shop you mentioned is called 'Shanggao County Tractor Station'. There is still a person in the village who has been working there. Can take 4 pieces 50 years ago. Most of the money is loaned to others, and the old staff in the village may not be able to get it."

The group followed the police and Fu Sambo to learn about the old man who was working in the village at the Shanggao County tractor station. He was 80 years old and lived with his children on Shanggao Street.

Unexpectedly, Fu Cheng's family said that the elderly had suffered from Alzheimer's disease, and the previous things did not remember.

Fortunately, Fu Cheng's wife still has memories of some old colleagues in the previous husband's unit, and provided two names.

Not give up

Final question of surname and birthplace

"His surnamed Deng, we all call him Lao Deng, the whole unit has only two Hunan people, that is, two old fathers and fathers." Li Yusheng is 76 years old this year. Before he retired, he opened a tractor at the original tractor station in Shanggao County. Listening to people to explain, the old man immediately said that everyone may be looking for Lao Deng, can not remember the full name.

According to Li Yusheng, Lao Deng was a 40-year-old official. He was a regular employee and worked as a carpenter in the unit. The monthly salary was slightly higher than other employees, about 27 yuan. His son Xiao Deng did some mixed work in the unit, such as cleaning the tractor. He also took care of the vegetable land behind the station. His salary was less, about 18 yuan per month. But the father and son did not go to the station in Hunan for a long time, because Lao Deng later got hepatitis, and the unit let him go home.

"Do you know where Lao Deng is from Hunan?"

"Can not remember."

“Who else remembers Lao Deng?” Everyone did not give up and continued to ask.

"Cai Kangsheng may remember." Li Lao also provided another clue.

I found the old man of Cai Kangsheng who was also working on the tractor station that year. The old man definitely replied that Lao Deng was from Hunan Xiangxiang, but the name could not be remembered.

During the day's search, Zhou Pingfen's mood seemed complicated, sometimes excited, sometimes tense, and every time he heard a promising clue, his hands were close.

Xiangxiang City is the municipality under the jurisdiction of Xiangtan City, Hunan Province. Zhou Pingfen’s old man’s hometown is Xiangtan. It seems that the result is only one step away, but it is so far away. Is Deng Deng, who has returned to Xiangxiang, Hunan, a good-hearted uncle who is looking for Zhou Pingfen’s old man? Can Zhou Pingfen’s wish finally come true?

Regardless of the outcome, the old people's convictions and positive energy passed through the twists and turns, let us be touched, the traditional virtues shine in the good-hearted uncle and "Lei Feng mother".
