The author and information of the old man and sea gull. O(∩_∩)O Thank you!

The writer is Deng Qiyao. The old seagull's name is Wu Qingheng, and he is an ordinary Kunming citizen. He is called the old seagull because every autumn, Dianchi Lake in Kunming welcomes a large number of migrating seagulls. At this time, there is always an old man who takes some bread he buys almost every day to care for these beautiful seagulls.

The old man is very old, with a wrinkled face, kind eyes and a homemade whitening 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. Old people seldom care about the injured seagulls. From 1992, the elderly can see the injured seagulls coming to Kunming every year, as if the seagulls missed the elderly 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 more than 400 yuan a month, and he has to spend one-third of it on buying 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 where the seagull lived in the evening, which was the temporary home of the seagull. When he left, the old man always said goodbye politely, even said a few words of goodbye and thank you, and finally took off his hat and bid farewell to the camera and reporters. 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.

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 a comfort to the old people.

In memory of old Mr Wu Qingheng seagull. If there is an afterlife, I hope he will always smile.
