Hard work makes "a hundred flowers of honey" —— A record of Brother Lao Le

I call him "Brother Lao Le", although he is over 90 years old and can be my father according to his age. He likes to be called that himself, unlike the old man's attitude, which makes people feel much younger. ...

I met Brother Lao Le five years ago. At that time, as the oldest "donkey friend" of the leisure outdoor team, people naturally "favored him". As the saying goes, "there are old people in the family as treasures." As the "Bao Ge" in the collective family, there are many people who respect him, and I am one of them.

Brother Bao has always loved his sister Lin, and photography is the beloved "her" in Lao Le's heart. He studied in the photography class of the University for the Aged for 10 years, and even slept while eating. His "love" has reached the level of "obsession". There are various subjects of photography, and my brother especially loves "beauty and flowers". It seems that even older people have a "playboy" in their hearts.

Jokes are jokes. Brother Lao Le in life is a man who follows the rules. Every morning at six o'clock, my mobile phone will definitely push his photo. The flowers and plants in the picture set off a smiling face and covered up the extreme intention of an old man who loves life. In front of and behind the house, in the yard, at the corner of the community, all kinds of flowers on the top of the park appear in the mirror, as if thanking this beautiful "discoverer". Beautiful, infectious! Looking at the flowers handled by Brother Le on the screen, everyone felt "elated".

Brother Lao Le has been more and more devoted to "photography" these days, because he recently participated in a photography competition in western China, but he didn't expect to win the prize, which is "great encouragement" for an old man! Modest Lao Le Ge attributed this honor to the guidance of the photography class teacher and the voting support of netizens. Since then, this brother has worked harder and harder. Every time I travel with a professional teacher, the shooting of the punching place of online celebrities has never fallen behind.

The study and play in his later years are reassuring and enjoyable, which won "good popularity" for Lao Le Ge and made us "good friends". Recalling that I met him on a trip, I wanted to take good care of the elderly during the trip, but he took care of me. During this time, he took pictures of me and helped me take care of many things. This friendship will never be forgotten. Through the communication along the way, I got to know his family. At that time, his wife had just died and his children took him home, but he declined.

"I don't want to get into trouble when I am old" is what he often talks about. Settled in an "independent" heart, he lived a "true self" style. On weekdays, Lao Le Ge is accompanied by photography, and even if his children are not around on holidays, there are volunteers who love and respect the elderly. As early as a few years ago, party member of Qingdao Public Transport Group formed a pair of "helping the elderly" with him and gave him "precise help" on a regular basis.

"I am old, and people are old" is fixed in "Chinese Traditional Virtues", and the lens around Lao Le Ge comes in handy. He carefully recorded the bits and pieces of this social welfare undertaking, and incidentally showed that he was a lonely old man with social help and care. ...

When the flowers bloom, "Brother Lao Le" is as busy as a bee, and begins to collect wind and make honey diligently. Count the flowers he picked in the photo: Lotus, Coreopsis, Lily, Hemerocallis, Magnolia grandiflora and so on. In order to shoot the flowers well, he must do his homework in advance and mark them according to the teacher's requirements.

Looking at the dancing figure of Lao Le Ge, I wonder: Will we be like him when we are old? "Love flowers" is like life, there are two sides to knowing each other! Brother Lao Le gave us an explanation. Who should we work for? Sweet for who?

Brother Lao Le, thank you for your sweetness. I wish you a long and healthy life!
