Hao Tianshun, Zanhuang County: Good Son Interprets Xiaoyi with Action

As the son of his parents, Hao Tianshun took good care of his parents who had been paralyzed for many years; as the son of the people, in his post as director of the Civil Affairs Bureau of Zanhuang County, Hao Tianshun spilled his love for his parents on the elderly and poor groups throughout the county, innovating the working mechanism, improving the level of protection, and safeguarding the rights and interests of the elderly. With his actions, he interprets the traditional virtue of "we are the old and care for the old".

Hao Tianshun, 53, has gray hair on his head since he was 33 years old, he said. It was before and after New Year's Day in 1995. His mother had a second recurrence of cerebral thrombosis and was admitted to the hospital. He turned white overnight. Although she tried her best to treat her mother, she could not cure her and had to lie in bed from now on. It never rains but it pours. In the summer of 2002, my father was admitted to the hospital with a sudden cerebral thrombosis, although he was left with hemiplegia after treatment. Hao Tianshun felt heartache when he looked at his parents who could not take care of themselves in bed. But he reassured himself that he should never fall down and should use his own efforts to make the two elders have the courage and confidence to live. "for fifteen years, I haven't spent Sundays in the city. My parents are in their hometown, 18 kilometers from the city. As soon as I get off work on Friday afternoon, I go back to my hometown to help the elderly wash their feet, feed them, give them medicine, and carry out rehabilitation treatment." Hao Tianshun recalled.

From then on, Hao Tianshun gave all his holidays to his parents. For thousands of days and nights over the past 15 years, recalling the days before his parents' hospital bed, Hao Tianshun summed it up with bitterness and warmth. Bitterness is because you can no longer find the warm affection of your parents in the world, and the warmth is because you don't have the regret that you don't want to raise your son. "I have a clear conscience to my parents, it is only natural to take care of the elderly, and I am in a happy mood." Filial piety touched heaven and earth. In 2013, Hao Tianshun won the fifth "Chinese Model Award for filial piety and respect for the elderly".

When we are old, we should take care of the old people. Hao Tianshun has been the director of the Civil Affairs Bureau and the director of the Office for the elderly in Zanhuang County since 2011, and he cherishes this job very much. Zanhuang County is not only a national poverty-stricken county but also a major civil affairs county. Hao Tianshun was always concerned about the safety of people in need in urban and rural areas. He visited and expressed condolences to the key recipients of preferential treatment, especially poor families, low-income families, and five-guarantee families in 11 townships throughout the county. The satisfaction rate of civil affairs objects reached 100%. At the same time, he has constantly innovated the working mechanism, promoting the subsidy system for the elderly over 80 years old, setting up a legal aid center for the elderly to provide legal services for the elderly free of charge, and implementing the system of signing a "family support agreement", and so on.

On July 19 this year, it rained heavily, and many villages and towns in Zanhuang County, such as Kuang Shiyan, Huangbeiping, and Xuting, were in emergency. After receiving an order from the county flood control headquarters, Hao Tianshun rushed to the county flood control and disaster relief front headquarters set up in the Bai Lawn Reservoir. When walking to the low-lying road, it was difficult to move forward, so Hao Tianshun had to get out of the car and wade to check the condition of the road. Accidentally, his left foot stepped on the board with a nail, which pierced the sole of the shoe and went into the heel. Hao Tianshun pulled out the nail and continued to find a feasible route. The flood situation was urgent. On the way, Hao Tianshun went to a village health center for simple treatment of the wound, and rushed to the settlement site of the affected people in Yecaowan Village to inspect the disaster situation and the resettlement of the affected people. Of the 59 worst-hit villages in 11 affected towns in the county, Hao Tianshun walked half on crutches.

In this way, Hao Tianshun led all the personnel of the Civil Affairs Bureau of Zanhuang County to urgently allocate relief materials and send batches of relief materials to the affected towns and settlements. What gratifies Hao Tianshun most is that no one was injured and no one died in helping the people in the county's 21000 minimum living standard, five guarantees, special poverty-stricken families, and preferential care recipients. In the shortest time, the 17000 people transferred to the county have hot food to eat, clean water to drink, clothes to wear and beds to sleep. "in the face of strong winds, waves and heavy rain, people ran home, and we all ran to our posts. If you are a civil servant, you have to have such feelings. " Hao Tianshun said. (reporter Wang Geng)
