The literary work "The Old Man and the Seagull" comes from a true story: an old man, Wu Qingheng, walks more than ten kilometers to Cuihu Lake in Kunming every day for the sake of seagulls to deliver food to his beloved seagulls. The old man and the seagull became friends, and also became a landscape of the Cuihu Lake. Later, the old man went, and kind people made a statue for the old man and placed it by the Cuihu Lake, so that the old man could always look at his seagulls. This work is a textbook for Fan Wenxuan. Background: Old Seagull's name is Wu Qingheng, and he is an ordinary Kunming citizen. The reason why he is called Old Seagull is that every winter, a large number of migrating seagulls will welcome to Cuihu Lake in Kunming. At this time, there is always an old man who walks more than 2 kilometers from the suburbs to Cuihu every day to bring some bread he bought to care for these beautiful seagulls. The old man's wrinkled face has a pair of kind eyes and a homemade white cloth bag on his shoulder, which is full of food for seagulls. He always smiles at the seagulls flying up and down in front of him and gives them food to eat. According to the old man, these seagulls are human. When a seagull is hurt, it will call other seagulls to leave with a piercing cry. Once there was a seagull, which was broken because of the capture of tourists. The old man took care of the injured seagull very carefully. Since 1992, the old man has been able to see the injured seagull come to Kunming every year. It seems that the seagull misses the old man who is dying and flies to Kunming. It is also a kind of visit commemoration! Many people come to the park to play, but no one knows the old man's family, only to hear him say that he only has a pension of 38 yuan a month, and he will use half of it to buy food for the seagulls. Sometimes, because the old man is ill, he spends more every month and has less money to buy things for seagulls, so the old man goes to the restaurant to pick up things that others have lost. In his words, the poor must have poor ways. The reporters of Yunnan TV Station knew the situation of the old man and asked him to tell the story of himself and the seagulls. The old man was very excited, perhaps he had been lonely for too long. Looking at the old man's excited and selfless explanation, he felt inexplicable sadness in his heart. In the end, the reporter made an appointment with the old man to take the reporters to see the seagull's perch at night, which is a temporary home for seagulls. When leaving, the old man has been very polite to say goodbye, even said a few goodbye and thank you, and finally took off his hat and said goodbye to the camera and reporters. Behind that kind of courtesy is actually a person's self-restraint and dignity. It was time for the appointment the next day, and the old man didn't go to the appointment. A few days later, the author suddenly met the old man. The old man bowed his head and lost his old spirit. He sat on the stone bench by the Dianchi Lake, very quiet, and reached out the bread to the seagulls with his hands feebly. The reporter asked the old man about the situation. The old man's voice was very low. He told the reporter calmly that he fell ill these days and only ate a bowl of noodles for a few days. After a while, the old man said that he was very tired and wanted to go home and rest. In the sunset, people are left with the old man's staggering back. A few days later, young journalists and friends were very concerned about the old man. After many inquiries, they finally learned about the old man's home. When they walked through the winding alley, they saw the news that the old man had passed away. I didn't know until I asked. The old man's name is Wu Qingheng, a student of The National SouthWest Associated University in his early years. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he was persecuted by politics. Without his family, the old man was lonely all his life, and seagulls became his only friends in his lonely old age. Later, people in Kunming gradually learned about the situation of the old seagull, and the Forest Protection Bureau organized a spontaneous donation to shape a statue of the old man and seagull, leaning against Dianchi Lake and smiling thoughtfully. This is a comfort to the old man. In memory of Mr Wu Qingheng, an old seagull. If there is an afterlife, I hope he will always have a smile and not let him be as lonely as before.
