The kind-hearted people on this street in Jinshan District have donated funds to the disaster stricken areas in the north one after another. The natural disaster has no lovers, but the people have compassion | the elderly | love
This summer, the flood disasters in Zhuozhou and other areas of Hebei Province have touched the hearts of the people of the whole country. Recently, in the Shihua Street of Jinshan District, many kind-hearted individuals have voluntarily donated funds to contribute to flood control and disaster relief, and to help the affected people.
Zhang Xingfu, a 92 year old man living in Linchao San Village, Shihua Street, is a 62 year old party member. Entering Zhang Xingfu's home, the first thing that catches the eye is the "Glory in the Party 50 Years" commemorative medal hanging on the wall. During this period, Uncle Zhang has been concerned about the disaster situation in areas such as Zhuozhou in Hebei. In order to do his best, he proactively contacted the neighborhood committee and immediately withdrew 20000 yuan in cash upon learning that online donations could be made. "As an old party member, I should take some responsibility and help them to the best of my ability," said the old man.
On August 8th, under the witness of all parties, the staff of the Red Cross Society in Petrochemical Street received this thick pile of donations from the hands of veteran party member Zhang Xingfu. On the paper wrapped in banknotes, there are several lines of words written: "Targeted donation of 20000 yuan to support the northern people in fighting against floods and waterlogging disasters.". This not only expresses the purpose of this money, but also demonstrates the elderly's great love for society. Subsequently, in front of Zhang Xingfu and his wife Xu Wenxia, the staff donated the 20000 yuan through electronic bank transfer to the Red Cross Society of Baoding City, Hebei Province, to assist in flood prevention and disaster relief in the affected areas, and handed over the honorary certificate to Zhang Xingfu.
On Uncle Zhang's bedroom bookshelf, a book of honor certificates is properly placed. "The flood in the north puts many people in danger. My 20000 yuan is nothing but a little bit of heart. If I have the strength, I will continue to donate."
Zhao Mingjie, the Secretary of the Party General Branch of Linsan Residential Area, has always been enthusiastic in supporting public welfare and charity undertakings, which is his impression of Zhang Xingfu. In recent years, Zhang Xingfu has been deeply concerned about society, donating with love and receiving special party dues time and time again, demonstrating the love and kindness of an elderly person and interpreting the original mission of a Communist Party member to serve the people wholeheartedly. In February 2020, Zhang Xingfu was concerned about the epidemic situation in Wuhan and donated 10000 yuan to Hubei Province to fight against the COVID-19; In March 2021, Zhang Xingfu donated 10000 yuan to the Red Cross Society of Shihua Street for poverty alleviation and assistance. On the occasion of the Spring Festival in 2023, Zhang Xingfu handed over 20000 yuan in cash to the Red Cross staff of the Petrochemical Street, dedicating his love to charity work. Zhang Xingfu often said, "I am old and cannot contribute to society by example. I will donate some money and contribute a little bit to the struggling residents and society."
Coincidentally. On the morning of August 4th, Zhang Genfa, who used to live in the residential area of Jiucun in Petrochemical, came to the neighborhood committee and handed 1000 yuan to Shen Bin, the Secretary of the Party General Branch of Jiucun Residential Area, requesting donations to the disaster stricken area of Zhuozhou, Hebei. Considering that Zhang Genfa's economic conditions were not good, Secretary Shen advised him, "We have received your kindness, so let's take the money back. This is your living expenses." However, Zhang Genfa insisted, "I saw on TV that Zhuozhou, Hebei was hit by a disaster, and the people there must be in great need of help. I have received the government's love and care, and donating this money to the disaster area can also be seen as some return to society."
In fact, this is not Zhang Genfa's first time donating. After the earthquake disaster in Luding, Sichuan in September last year, he also voluntarily donated 10000 yuan.
Liming, who lives in the Chenkai residential area of Shihua Street, is 80 years old this year and an old party member with 48 years of party experience. Recently, in the face of floods in the north, he voluntarily donated 5000 yuan in flood relief funds. During the previous epidemic period, he also paid a special party fee of 5000 yuan.
When one side is in difficulty, all directions provide support. The relevant person in charge of Shihua Street stated that the caring people in the street have voluntarily donated money to help the people in the disaster stricken areas, demonstrating a positive and cooperative spirit of volunteer service. It has also created a good atmosphere for the local community to create a seaside community with flowers, sea, light, and love.
