Uncle Shih Lin

His enthusiastic uncle

others

He, called Shi Shilin, retired from Chengdu Egg and Egg Company in 1995 and was 78 years old this year. People familiar with Bian Shilin all know that he has an inseparable "companion" -- a shabby little tricycle. He has a 1 in his left hand and a 6 in his right hand: "Over the end of this year, this car has been with me for 16 years."

The matter

Behind Shi Yinglin's insecurities and the three rounds is a story of 16 years free of charge. Sixteen years ago, because he couldn't understand what others had been saying and collected money, the newly retired Pang Shilin bought the small three-wheeler and began to behave in an obligatory manner. From the North Railway Station to the Lotus Pond, from Gao Sun Tang to Liang Family Lane, from simply pointing to the free exchange of zero notes, he still remembers that when he bought back three rounds, the great-grandson was still in middle school. Today, the great-grandson All are in their early thirties.

Powerful

The casual way to come to him is this "live map"

At the Liangjiaxiang bus stop on the weekend afternoon, passengers waiting for the bus almost packed the platform. In particular, the passengers stood several levels inside and outside the station before the bus stop was written.

The three small rounds of Yan Shilin stopped slowly and stopped in the open space by the platform. Just as he was wearing a hat, he began to cry: "If you don't know it, just ask it, and don't go the wrong way and walk around. If you don't get a change, say it for free. Change it for free.

A woman dragging a box seemed to feel embarrassed. She asked in a low voice: “Mo Ziqiao walks away?” “Two 34 roads sit casually, get on the train and pay attention to the voice station.” More questions then follow. , "Where is the amusement park?" "Direct route 28." "Dongguang community did not have a car wow?" "65 road." "Water Mill River?" "Same as the big sister sat, 34 Road." All of the answers, almost without waiting for questions, have been blurted out. Pointing to the road, Yu Shilin did not forget to add another sentence: "Get off the bus and hold the handle carefully (be careful), pay attention to the battery car."

There was a young man who handed a 5 dollar bill. Some were half doubtful: "Uncle, 5 yuan or 5 yuan for wow?" Yan Shilin didn't lift his head and handed over 5 one-dollar bills: "Say it, you won't take it." Hey: "Thank you, Grandpa." Yan Shilin laughed. "It's okay. Drive the car and make it fine."

Can't read the road charge to buy three fingers and one finger for 16 years

In 1995, Yu Shilin retired from Chengdu Egg and Egg Company. On one occasion, the bicycle went to the North Railway Station Plaza. Yu Shilin saw many people asking for directions. “Then there are people who lead the way, but they have to collect money, ranging from the triangle, the pentagon, to the dollar.” This makes Miao Shilin feel “unsatisfactory”: “I mean a way to move my head and actually have to collect money.” What makes him look down is that these people who have collected money still often point to the wrong path.

Yu Shilin feels that he can do something. At the end of 1996, he and his wife spent more than 400 yuan to buy a second-hand senior citizen in the old car market in Zhongli Street, Zhongli, and began a sixteen-year obligation.

In order to avoid mistaking the wrong way, Yu Shilin spent a month sitting in a bus and strolling through four “gates” in the east, west, south, north, and south of Chengdu, and handwritten the bus lines on major streets in Chengdu’s main streets onto a piece of paper. After a few years, I was very good at heart. "You can say it without thinking."

However, in recent years, this live map has encountered some new problems. With the expansion of bus lines in major urban areas and the temporary changes in some bus lines during urban construction, he must also update his “navigation database” at any time. In the back of the tricycle, Yu Shilin took out a thick pile of newspaper clippings. “Usually read the newspapers, first look at the traffic news, and related to the bus and subway, and immediately write down.” Qi Shilin said that most newly opened and changed bus Line, he basically sat in person.

Strange things

No change of banknotes for 100 yuan. He was once cheated.

In addition, starting from 2006, with the increase in the number of bus lines for which no one has sold tickets, Yu Shilin has discovered that the lack of change has become a problem for many passengers to take public transport. Soon, his service project has increased free exchange of zero notes. "Every time you have 400 yuan, you can use it for one month, sometimes for a week."

However, in order to make a change in Yu Shilin, he will not change 100 yuan. "A young boy once fooled me with a fake hundred-dollar bill. Now I only exchange 5 yuan, 10 yuan and 20 yuan." In the summer of the last two years, Yu Shilin's small three-wheel race has added more lust. water. In the same way, it is free to give, and the text does not take. If there is no cost for both pointing and zero-changing banknotes, then donating money will cost money. Yu Shilin said: "A bottle of water (Huoxiangzhengqi) is just a few cents. All four of my sons and daughters are married. In January, the retired salary is more than 2000 yuan.

The old man said:

"Foreseeing to be 80 years old"

Yang Po, who runs a grocery store in front of the Liangjiaxiang bus stop, was deeply impressed by Miao Shilin. “Almost every day, just like at work, it is 8 am to 12 am and 2 pm to 5 pm,” Yang said. , I have two or three years in Liangjiaxiang to open a store, "he opened it." Mr. He, a few steps away from the mobile phone communication shop owner, also remembers Miao Shilin: "It's hard to get every day." And is now in Liangjiaxiang. The two traffic policemen on duty at the crossroads recalled that although they were usually busy with traffic commandments, they still “had some impressions and often saw this uncle coming. It was not known before that he was doing this (free of charge).”

Chengdu Business Daily reporter learned that from 2004 onwards, Miao Shilin was awarded as an outstanding communist party member every year by the Party Committee of the Chenghuang Temple Community of the People's North Road. Zhou Jieji, secretary of the Third Party Committee of the Chenghuang Temple Community Party Committee, told reporters that “Uncle Gao has been insisting for 16 years and we feel very valuable.”

For Yu Shilin’s insistence, his wife’s views on Liu Jiying and several children are somewhat complicated. “On the one hand, we are very supportive from the inside, but on the other hand, he is on the road every day and we are very worried about it. After all, the age is so big.” said Mrs. Liu, she is now slowly accepting, “to ensure safety Under the premise, as long as he feels happy, he will follow him. His character, who is at home every day, must have a problem."

After more than ten years of hardship and rain, Miao Shilin also felt the body's aging day by day. "For the time being, I plan to go to age 80." He is considering that he can do something else. "I am old and retired, but we still have value." I just want to continue to serve this community."
