Zheng's character memory
Two bungalows, one of which is the children's dormitory, are filled with bunk beds, and several children sit on the bed without saying a word. The other room used to have a kitchen outside and a bedroom inside, but now there is a mourning hall. Zheng in the photo is warm and kind; Indoor candlelight flickers, and everyone cries for you.
A banner in the room, awards, glittering trophies and the motto of "one inch of time and one inch of gold" stuck on the furniture still silently tell people about the great love life of the old man. On the roadside next to the bungalow, there is a motor tricycle that Cheng Zhengzhen usually uses to help street children. This is a gift from the manager of a state-owned coal store in tianqiao district. Because it hasn't moved for months, it's covered with dust now.
Due to obstructive pulmonary disease, Zheng entered the provincial chest hospital for treatment in July this year. For more than three months, his illness has worried people from all walks of life. Governments at all levels, leaders of relevant departments and all walks of life went to the hospital to express their condolences. Some enthusiastic citizens took the initiative to go to Zheng's residence to help him take care of the children. Ms. Liu Yu, an enthusiastic citizen who lives in Chaoshan Street and is nearly sixty years old, comes here every day to cook for the children and teach them to be human. ...
Cheng Zheng Town, born in 1947, has rescued and adopted more than 400 street children and orphans since 1987. Some of these children went to technical secondary schools and police schools, some joined the army, and none of them went to society again. Therefore, he was recognized by the society, and was awarded honorary titles such as Sunshine Old Man in Jinan, Model Individual in the Protection of Minors in Shandong Province, Advanced Worker in Jinan who cares about the next generation, Top Ten Outstanding People in Quancheng District who are enthusiastic about public welfare undertakings, and the First National Moral Model Nomination Award ... Zheng's deeds were also reported by news media at all levels.
At present, there are nine street children living in Cheng Zheng Town-this is the last group of children he adopted before his death. After Zheng was killed, governments at all levels and relevant departments actively coordinated and properly handled the fate of the children. Children will be arranged in special rooms in the rescue station, and someone will be responsible for their life and study.
The reporter learned that the memorial service for Zheng, the "father of street children", will be held at Jinan Funeral Home on 13.
