In Cixi, Zhejiang Province, every family was enjoying the May Day holiday. A middle-aged man put down his chopsticks and went out with a tool bag, leaving his wife at home. He is Qian Haijun who won the title of "Model of the Times (时代楷模)" on May 6th 2022.
Qian Haijun is a worker who deals with electric problems. In the past 23 years, he has spent all his spare time in helping a number of families with electricity. Qian Haijun has made 500 cards with his name and telephone number and handed them out so that people would know who to call when a problem comes. He answers every call at any time and values them very much. He also pays much attention to the group of elderly people over 60 who live on their own. He realizes that the elderly need companionship (陪伴) more than anything else. Over the past few years, he has become the "good son" of more than 100 elderly people.
His stories were made into a mini movie, and even the Ningbo and Cixi Volunteer Service Centers are named after him. Under his leadership, more than 1,200 volunteers have joined the project for the disabled. And they have provided help more than 30,000 times.
"I am a common people. I will never think about stopping offering help to people in need, and I will try my best to bring beauty to the world," he said.
