Background introduction: Old Man Haiou’s name is Wu Qingheng, and he is an ordinary Kunming citizen. The reason why he is called Old Seagull is because every winter, Green Lake in Kunming welcomes a large number of migrating seagulls. At this time, there is always an old man who walks more than 20 kilometers from the suburbs of the city to Green Lake every day, bringing some bread he bought to care for these beautiful seagulls. The old man had a pair of kind eyes on his wrinkled face. He carried a homemade white cloth bag on his shoulder, which was filled with food for the seagulls. He always smiled and stared at the seagulls flying up and down in front of him and gave them food. According to the old man, these seagulls are humane. When a seagull is hurt, it will call other seagulls away with a shrill cry. There was once a seagull that suffered a fracture due to being caught by tourists. The old man took good care of the injured seagull. Since 1992, the old man has been able to see the injured seagull come to Kunming every year. It seems that the seagull is missed. This frail old man flying to Kunming is also a kind of visit and commemoration. Many people come to the park to play, but no one knows the old man's family background. He only heard from himself that he only has a pension of 308 yuan per month, and he uses one-half of it to buy food for the seagulls. Sometimes, because the old man is sick, his monthly expenses are more, and he has less money to buy things for the seagulls. So, the old man goes to the restaurant to pick up things that others have thrown away. In his words, the poor must have something. Poor solution. Reporters from Yunnan TV learned about the old man's situation and asked him to tell his story about himself and the seagulls. The old man was very excited, perhaps because he had been lonely for too long. Seeing the old man's excited and selfless explanation, he felt inexplicably sad. At the end of the day, the reporter made an appointment with the old man to take the reporters to see where the seagulls roost at night. It was a temporary home for the seagulls. When parting, the old man kept saying goodbye very politely, saying several goodbyes and thank yous, and finally took off his hat and said goodbye to the camera and reporters. Behind that kind of politeness is actually a person's self-cultivation and dignity. . The appointment time came the next day, but the old man did not keep the appointment. A few days later, the author suddenly saw the old man. The old man had his head lowered and no longer had the energy of the past. He was sitting on a stone bench by the water of Dianchi Lake. He was very calm and just stretched out the bread to the seagulls with his weak hands. The reporter asked the old man about his condition. The old man told the reporter in a low voice and calmly that he had been ill for the past few days and had only eaten one bowl of noodles in a few days. After a while, the old man said that he was very tired and wanted to go home and rest. In the setting sun, what is left to people is the staggering back of the old man. A few days later, the young reporter friends missed the old man very much. After a lot of inquiries, they finally found out the old man’s home. When they walked through the winding alley, they saw the news that the old man had passed away. I found out after asking. The old man's name is Wu Qingheng. He was a student of Southwest Associated University in his early years. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he was politically persecuted. Without a family, the old man was lonely all his life. Seagulls became his only friend in his lonely old age. Later, people in Kunming gradually learned about the situation of the old man Seagull, and the Forestry Protection Bureau organized spontaneous donations to build a statue of the old man and the seagull, leaning on the Dianchi Lake with a thoughtful smile. This can be regarded as a consolation to the old man. In memory of the old man Seagull - Mr. Wu Qingheng. If there is an afterlife, I hope he will always have a smile.

Edit the content of this text

It was an ordinary winter day. When my friend and I met at Green Lake, seagulls were flying lively. It was easy to spot the old man among the crowd feeding the seagulls. He was already hunched over, wearing a faded, outdated cloth coat, and carrying a faded blue cloth bag. Even the large plastic bag containing bird feed had faded from use. My friend told me that this old man walked more than 20 miles every day from the suburbs of the city to Green Lake just to deliver meals to the seagulls and keep them company. The place with few people is his territory to feed the seagulls. The old man carefully placed the biscuits on the fence by the lake, took a step back, raised his beak (cuō) and called to the gulls. Immediately a group of seagulls came in response and swept it clean in a few strokes. The old man walked along the railing and let the seagulls rise and fall according to his rhythm, forming a flying white sheet and flying into a colorful musical score. Amidst the chirping of seagulls, the old man sang something in a measured tone. Listening carefully, it turned out to be local dialects that were so intimate that they changed the tone - "one-legged", "gray-headed", "red-mouthed", "old sand", "princess"... "Have you named the seagull?" I Couldn't help but ask. The old man looked back at me and still leaned towards the seagulls: "Of course, each one has a name." "Do you recognize them?" The same white wings flashed quickly in the sun, and I doubted whether the old man could see clearly. . "Look, look! The one with the ring on his foot is Lao Sha!" The old man pointed it out to me proudly. He suddenly shouted to the water: "One leg! Lao Sha! Get up!" The water jumped in response. Two seagulls flew up and flew towards the old man. As expected, one seagull's feet shone with metal, and another flew over and pecked at the old man's hand. It had only one foot and had to flap its wings to maintain balance when it landed. It seemed that it had one leg. The old man was feeding it and talking to it affectionately. Talking about seagulls, the old man's eyes immediately became vivid. "Seagulls value friendship the most and are attentive. The year before last, a seagull rested on my hat five times the day before it flew away from Kunming. I thought it was playing tricks on me, but later I realized that it was saying goodbye to me. It didn't come last year, and it didn't come this year... Seagulls are auspicious birds, birds of happiness! The ancients said, "White gulls bring poems wherever they fly." More than ten years ago, when seagulls came, I knew our luck was coming. Look at them. That little look! Tsk (zé) tsk..." The seagulls heard the old man calling and immediately flew over, surrounding him, causing passers-by to stop and watch. The sun was setting in the west, and the old man's plastic bag was empty. "It's getting late, and they will go back in a while. I heard that they rest in the Dian Lake, but it's a pity that I can't go there." The old man looked at the gulls hovering in the sky with hope in his eyes. My friend told me that for more than ten years, when winter comes, the old man will come every day, and he and the seagulls are like relatives. Unexpectedly, more than ten days later, someone suddenly told us: The old man passed away. After hearing the news, we seemed to see the old man and the seagulls accompanying each other by the green lake again... We enlarged the photo of the old man feeding the seagulls for the last time and brought it to the green lake. Something unexpected happened - a group of seagulls suddenly flew over, circling around the old man's portrait, and screamed repeatedly. The sounds and postures were very different from usual, as if something big had happened. We were very surprised and hurriedly backed away from the old man's photo to make way for the seagulls. The seagulls flapped their wings rapidly and took turns flying into the air in front of the old man's portrait, like relatives who came to pay their last respects.

The old man in the photo was silently watching the seagulls flying around him, and his "sons and daughters" who had been with him for many winters... After a while, the seagulls landed one after another, and actually stood in two lines in front of and behind the old man's portrait. . They stood still, like white-winged angels guarding the old man. When we had to put away the portrait, the seagulls rushed towards the portrait like an explosion. They screamed loudly and flapped their wings so close that we finally got out of the flying white vortex (xuán). … At the funeral held for the old man, we slowly walked towards the mourning hall carrying the portrait. The old man was carrying the blue cloth bag and pouting, as if he was still calling to the seagulls. In his heart, there must be a flock of flying gulls. The author of this article is Deng Qiyao. Related links: Seagulls: Seagulls are the most familiar seabirds to humans. There are more than 50 species, more than half of which breed in the northern hemisphere. It has extraordinary adaptability to various environments. Seagulls are generally divided into two subgroups based on their feathers and body shape. One is a gull with a black head or a hooded head, which is smaller in size, and the color of its head changes in summer; the other is a gull with a white-gray head and body color, weighing 90 grams to 2,000 grams. The statue of "Old Seagull" is engraved with the deep affection of human gulls. , with a smile on his face, holding gull food in his hand and stretching it into the air, with red-billed gulls flying around in his hands and around him... a beautiful picture of the harmonious union between humans and gulls is permanently frozen. Wu Qingheng, known as the "Old Seagull" by Kunming people, was alone before his death. The red-billed gulls that flew to Kunming every winter were his only sustenance. Whenever red-billed gulls "arrive", the old man walks more than ten kilometers into the city every day to feed them and play with them, rain or shine; more than half of the old man's monthly retirement salary of 308 yuan is used to buy food for the seagulls. For this reason, the elderly are almost reluctant to spend a penny to take the bus. The old man did not hesitate to buy biscuits for 4 yuan and 50 cents per pound for seagulls. He knew that they were seagulls' favorite delicacy. He also often bought eggs to make "egg biscuits" for seagulls. As for himself, his only luxury was two Jinshajiang cigarettes cost ten cents a pack. He established a deep relationship with the red-billed gulls, so much so that he could call the seagulls in the water to the shore one by one, including "One Leg" and "Lao Sha". In the last days of the old man's life, what the old man cared about most was still the red-billed gull. After the old man passed away, he was constantly remembered and missed by Kunming people, who believed that he represented the harmonious spirit of Kunming people and red-billed gulls and the excellent qualities of loving and protecting gulls, which is worth learning by every citizen. At the initiative of an enthusiastic citizen, Kunming's "Metropolitan Times", Cuihu Park, and Kunming Landscaping Bureau took the lead in donating money and funding for the statue of Old Seagull.
