Beijing’s tricycle rider, who earns 150 yuan an hour and lives in a courtyard, what is his true identity?

In the book "The Adventures of the Shepherd" it is said that you must find your treasure, otherwise everything you find along the way will be meaningless.

Life is not a journey. Everyone is on this journey to find their own position and realize the value of their life. Everyone does it differently.

In Nanluogu Lane, a famous tourist attraction in Beijing, a man named An was riding a tricycle and telling stories about Beijing. He is in the realization of this life value in his own way.

01

It turns out that his identity is "Belle"

His original name is Aixinjueluo Anlin. He is a descendant of the Eight Banners and has aristocratic blood. His father was a cousin of Fu Yi, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty. If An Lin lived in the Qing Dynasty, neither Lord Beile nor Beile Zi would be a problem.

But in 1912, with the fall of the Qing Dynasty. 4. The last emperor of China issued an abdication order, ending thousands of years of feudal rule. With the end of the Qing Dynasty, many royal families moved from the top of the pyramid to the end of the pyramid.

As a member of the royal family, An Lin’s father was not spared. After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, An Lin's father went into exile and finally settled down in Beijing doing business.

An Lin was born in 1947. At that time, his family was relatively wealthy. Although he was not as wealthy as the Qing Dynasty, An Lin had no worries about food and drink since he was a child.

Such a sudden blow forced the family to find a new livelihood, and his father learned carpentry to support the family carpentry. Later, when he was growing up in Amlin, he learned his father's carpentry skills.

An Lin has been smart and sensible since he was a child. He also heard about the family affairs and his own identity, but he didn't seem to pay much attention to it. He remains down-to-earth, living a hard-working and low-key life in the hutongs of Beijing.

He met his wife in 1980, married her and had children, but the relationship did not last long. At this time, fate arranged again and again, and again and again made people collapse. An Lin's mother suddenly got cancer. This bad news was an almost unbearable blow to An Lin's family, and the cost of going to the hospital was extremely high. That incident cast a pall over the family.

As the son of the family, he has the responsibility and obligation to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the family. At that time, in addition to doing carpentry and earning 72 yuan a month, he also did some other jobs after work.

You can earn 10-20 yuan more in this way, but when faced with the mother’s huge medical expenses, this is just a drop in the bucket and cannot solve the problem at all.

One day after get off work, he sat in the alley outside his house, watching bicycles and tricycles coming and going. He came up with an idea, "I can go to Beijing scenic spots to pull a tricycle to make money."

After considering the idea, he returned to his family and told them his idea. The next day, he bought a tricycle and equipment for pulling it.

A weird old man riding three wheels

Nothing is easy, but Alin feels that as long as he works hard enough, all his problems will be solved can be solved. He is so optimistic and confident.

One evening, as the sun was setting in Beijing, with the afterglow of the setting sun still lingering on the distant hills, An Lin rode a tricycle "dinging" out of the house. He was wearing a white sweatshirt and looked energetic.

On the first day, An Lin pulled a car for 12 hours and earned 75 yuan. That was then. This is a very high income. Arin saw hope in adversity, so he worked harder every day to pull the car. This has been going on for 38 years.

The place where An Lin rides a tricycle is Nanluogu Lane in Beijing.

An Lin’s business has always been very good. Sitting in his car, you can not only see the scenery along the way, but also hear various ancient stories about Beijing, such as the dusty history and the fun of the streets.

So his business has always been very good. Whenever he saw someone in need, he would ride his tricycle to help them for free. Anlin has a good reputation among local peers.

But Anlin has a "strange" rule, that is, in terms of price, he charges 150 pounds per hour to ride a tricycle for tourists.

But if you chat with someone on the road and hear that this person is filial and kind, he will reduce the price appropriately or even charge nothing.

But if he takes away a customer purely for luxury and enjoyment, ignoring the fruits of other people's labor, he will not lose a penny, and he will raise the price. Some people think that Tang An has a strange temper, but in his heart he has his own iron-clad principles, which are clear-cut in black and white.

Over the years, the young man riding a tricycle has turned into an old man with silver hair.

Mr. An, now in his 70s, still runs his own truck-pulling business. After years of hard work, he bought a beautiful yard in Beijing and used his money from riding a tricycle to send his son and daughter to study abroad.

His children went to study in the United States and Italy respectively, which is enviable. Contemporary tricycles are equipped with batteries, making it less difficult. Mr. An also spent 4,000 yuan to install a battery on his tricycle. Tang An smiled happily and contentedly.

Conclusion

Song Dynasty Luo Dajing's "Helin Yulu·Beheading Officials for One Coin": "Quai Ya's pen sentence: 'One day's money; 27, A thousand days and a thousand coins; seeing the wood; a drop of water can wear away the stone."

28. Day after day, a stone can be worn away. Year after year of diligence, an iron pestle can also sharpen a needle.

There is no distinction between high and low professions. Now a gray-haired old man, he is still working hard with full enthusiasm. We have no reason to complain about life, and we should fight for life down-to-earth.
