Issue 434 A refrigerator warms people’s hearts in cold winter.
Cctv news Liu Dianying, 60, lives in Tancheng, Linyi, Shandong Province. He has been working in Qingdao for one year and is usually responsible for cleaning Dandong Road. Liu Dianying’s work is basically from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m., because she needs to keep walking on the road, she often can’t eat on time, and most of the food she eats is cold.
A month ago, Liu Dianying found a refrigerator in front of a restaurant in Dandong Road. The refrigerator was full of dumplings, steamed stuffed buns and other foods. The words "free and appropriate use, no waste" were posted on the door of the refrigerator, and a sign was set up next to the refrigerator, which read: "Love charity station, small charity, great love." "Please heat the food. There is a microwave oven in the store for heating."
Since then, Liu Dianying can get food from the refrigerator and then heat it in the store, and often get hot meals.
The owner of this refrigerator is Liu Zheng, an out-and-out "post-90 s". After joining the army for five years, he returned to Qingdao and opened a restaurant, mainly engaged in breakfast and lunch. Although the store is not big, business is good.
Every day, there will inevitably be some unsold buns and meals left in the store. Liu Zheng feels it is a pity to throw them away. He used to give food to sanitation workers for free, and sometimes to homeless people lying under overpasses, but this is not a long-term solution. When Liu Zheng read an article about "sharing refrigerators", he came up with the idea of putting a refrigerator in front of the hotel.
Today, the refrigerator outside the store has been placed for more than 20 days, and the effect is good, mainly because sanitation workers come to take it. When the "shared refrigerator" was first set up, many people didn’t believe it, but after nearly a month, many people gave Liu Zheng a thumbs up.
While dedicating his love, Liu Zheng also paid special attention to food safety. He wrote the shelf life on the lunch box containing food and gave the sanitation workers free heating. He admits that there is still a long way to go to "share the refrigerator" and avoid becoming a "risk refrigerator".
"In fact, he often helped us before setting up a shared refrigerator!" Liu Dianying said, "Although people’s meals are said to be free, it’s still a little embarrassing to eat all the time! People helped me, and I can’t just be good at others. I can’t help you with other things, but when I walk to his door and see which ones are dirty, I will be rewarded! "
In the cold winter, a refrigerator warms people’s hearts. "I hope that people who can’t eat have a place to eat, and those who can’t eat don’t waste it." Liu Zheng’s way of offering love is more practical and environmentally friendly. It not only avoids the unnecessary waste of food, but also allows people who can’t eat or eat on weekdays to have a hot meal and do what they can to help others from their own reality. We should not only praise Liu Zheng’s love, but also learn from his idea of giving love. Let’s say thank you to Liu Zheng here!
