最近，在媒體報(bào)道中，有一位外貌看似拾荒者的老人因“看書前洗手”的細(xì)節(jié)溫暖了不少網(wǎng)友，圖書館的工作人員回憶說(shuō)，老人每個(gè)禮拜會(huì)來(lái)1-2次，閱讀關(guān)于社會(huì)新聞時(shí)事的報(bào)紙和雜志，老人曾經(jīng)說(shuō)過(guò)：“當(dāng)我感到沮喪時(shí)，讀書能讓我精神振奮，當(dāng)我看到有積極人生態(tài)度的文章，我會(huì)快樂(lè)很長(zhǎng)一段時(shí)間。”

這位每次看書前都會(huì)洗手的老人走進(jìn)公眾的視線，他用自己的方式來(lái)維護(hù)公共設(shè)施，提升了這群不幸的乞討者在社會(huì)中的人格尊嚴(yán)，新聞也對(duì)此事?tīng)?zhēng)相報(bào)道。

這位老人叫韋思浩，退休前是中學(xué)的一級(jí)教師，退休后拿著5600多元的退休金，本可安心養(yǎng)老，但他卻選擇拾荒“補(bǔ)貼”日子。不過(guò)，他“補(bǔ)貼”不是自家生活，而是那些讀不起書的孩子們。圣誕節(jié)來(lái)臨，在寒冷額天氣里有一種精神在燃燒，那就是圣誕精神——分享和給予。

不幸的是，今年12月的一場(chǎng)交通意外奪去了韋思浩老人的生命，老人死后，三個(gè)女兒發(fā)現(xiàn)一些證書，原來(lái)老人從1994年就開始捐贈(zèng)和幫助許多貧困學(xué)生。捐贈(zèng)金來(lái)源于他大部分的養(yǎng)老金以及收售廢品的錢。此外，另一張證書上表明他愿意在時(shí)候捐贈(zèng)自己的器官。

韋思浩老人是圣誕節(jié)精神的化身，他伸出雙手，分享自己，給予他人愛(ài)和溫暖，照亮了整個(gè)社會(huì)。

Sharing and Giving---Spirit of Christmas

Recently, the deeds of an old man have caught the eyes of many people, and warmed many more and made him famous throughout Hangzhou. The librarians recalled that the elderly man would come twice or thrice a week and choose to read newspapers or magazines about the current affairs.

Once Wei Sihao said, “I often fall vulnerable to feeling depressed. But reading lifts my spirits. Especially when a positive article comes into my view, I will be more than happy for a long time.”

At this very moment, an old rag-picker came into focus. He would wash his hands clean and neat every time, before entering the Public Library. He did whatever he could in his own way to keep the facilities he used in good order. Later, he made the news. The public saw the dignity and decency of the less lucky people having a great time in the Ivory Tower sponsored by the social service providers.

It is Wei Sihao who helped quite some students in need to get through their schooling. With Christmas drawing near, it is well into the winter of the year, and is getting freezing cold, but there is a little fire kindling a forest of fire of sharing and giving.

Unfortunately, a traffic accident of December 13, 2015, robbed the 77-year-old man of his life. During running through his belongings, the three daughters came to find, to their astonishment, scores of certificates showing that he had been donating and helping many poor students since 1994. Though living on what little money he could make by collecting and selling plastic bottles and tins, Wei Sihao donated most of his modest pension. Another certificate indicates that he would like to donate his organs after death.

In the depth of winter, Wei Sihao reached out, giving away to the needy, in spite of his advanced age; as the incarnation of the spirits of Christmas, he shared what he had with the community he committed himself to.
