A brief introduction to the life of Lao Wu Man Qing Heng

Wu Qingheng is an ordinary Kunming citizen. He is called "Old Seagull". He is called the old seagull because every winter, Dianchi Lake in Kunming welcomes a large number of migrating seagulls. At this time, old people always appear and come here almost every day. Every time he comes, he will bring some bread to feed them and take care of the seagulls like his own children.

The old man is very old, with a wrinkled face, kind eyes and a homemade faded cloth bag on his shoulder, which is full of food for seagulls. He is very careful and always smiles at the seagulls flying up and down in front of him. According to the old man, these seagulls are very human. When a seagull is injured, it will scream to tell other seagulls to leave. Once there was a seagull, which was broken by catching tourists. The old man took care of the injured seagull carefully. From 1992, the old man can see this injured seagull come to Kunming every year, as if the seagull missed the dying old man and flew to Kunming. Many people come to the park to play, but no one knows the old man's family, only to hear him say that he only has a pension of 308 yuan a month and wants to use half of it to buy food for seagulls. Sometimes because the old man is ill, he spends more money every month and less money to buy things for seagulls, so the old man goes to the restaurant to pick up things lost by others. In his words, there must be poverty in poverty.

The reporter from Yunnan TV station learned about the old man and asked him to tell the story of himself and seagulls. The old man is very excited. Maybe he has been lonely for too long. Looking at the old man's excited and selfless explanation, he felt inexplicably sad. Finally, the reporter and the old man made an appointment to take the reporter to see the seagull's habitat in the evening, which is the temporary home of seagulls. When he left, the old man always said goodbye politely, even said several goodbye and thanks, and finally took off his hat and said goodbye to the reporter for the camera. Behind that kind of courtesy is actually a person's self-restraint and dignity. At the appointed time the next day, the old man didn't keep the appointment. A few days later, the reporter suddenly saw the old man. The old man bowed his head and lost his old spirit. He sat on the stone bench by Dianchi Lake, very quiet, but he reached out the bread to the seagulls feebly. The reporter inquired about the old man's condition. The old man's voice is very low. He told reporters calmly that he was ill these days and only drank a bowl of noodles for a few days. After a while, the old man said that he was very tired and wanted to go home and rest. In the sunset, only the old man's staggering back is left.

A few days later, young reporters and friends were very concerned about the old man. After many inquiries, they finally learned about the old man's home. When they walked through the winding alley, they saw the news of the old man's death. I won't know until I ask. The old man's name is Wu Qingheng, and he was a student of National Southwest Associated University in his early years. After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), he was persecuted politically. Without his family, the old man was lonely all his life, and seagulls became his only friends in his lonely old age.

From 65438 to 0985, some seagulls wintering in Dianchi Lake flew to Kunming for food.

It is said that from then on, in the days when seagulls came to Kunming to feed, old Wu Man Qingheng walked more than ten miles to feed the seagulls almost every day, rain or shine. Until 1995, he died.

Wu Qingheng is a retired worker of Kunming Chemical Factory. He only got a retirement salary of 308 yuan per month on 1995. How can he feed wild seagulls in public places at his own expense?

It is said that the old man from Wu Qingheng was born in a humble background. At that time, he had no hobbies except smoking a box of inferior cigarettes, so he only "liked" feeding and getting close to seagulls.

It is said that the current method of feeding seagulls in Kunming-breaking biscuits and bread into pieces and putting them on the railing of the Cuihu Lake-was initiated by the old man Wu Qingheng. The old man thinks that throwing food into the lake for seagulls may make them sick, so they should eat clean food.

It is said that the old man not only feeds, but also talks with seagulls endlessly; The fed seagulls also "know" the old Wu Man Qingheng. The old man named some of them, and when he called, the called seagulls would fly to the old man.

In the days when seagulls went to Kunming to feed, Wu Qingheng had a simple meal in the factory cafeteria every night; Then I picked up the steamed bread that others didn't eat, mixed it with the eggs and flour I bought, made it into "seagull biscuits", and fed it to seagulls the next day.

It is said that after Wu Qingheng died of illness, people counted his relics, and the "most valuable" property was only six eggs, which he would use to make "seagull biscuits"!

Later, people in Kunming gradually understood the situation of the old seagull, donated money spontaneously, molded an old man's portrait, leaned against Dianchi Lake and smiled thoughtfully. This is comfort and admiration for the elderly.
