China News Service, Baoding, September 14 (Reporter Lu Zihao) "Liu Yan got well and was hospitalized with severely ill tetanus. The treatment cost is estimated to be more than 200,000 yuan. This is an astronomical figure for a poor family. By the two village committees and the village The Poverty Alleviation Task Force decided to call on all village party members and cadres and villagers to donate to him..." In the past few days, in the WeChat group of villagers in Liujiaying Village, Shunping County, Hebei Province, a donation proposal touched every villager’s heart: two Days, the whole village raised more than 15,000 yuan in love.
According to Liu Jitai, the director of Liujiaying Village, Liu Yanhao, 50, was a poor household in the village with no children.
To take care of his elderly and sickly mother, he does odd jobs in a nearby village.
In August of this year, Liu Yanhao accidentally injured his right hand while working. In order to save money, he took some medicine himself.
Unexpectedly, a month later, his wound was infected with tetanus and he was rushed to Baoding No. 1 Central Hospital for hospitalization.
Due to his serious illness, he needed more than 200,000 yuan in surgery and treatment fees, but Liu Yan's good family status couldn't afford this cost.
Liu Jitai said that after the two village committees learned of the situation, they immediately issued a donation proposal in the village WeChat group. At the same time, they also sent out help from the society through various channels such as water drop chip, hoping to help Liu Yan tide over the difficulties.
"The whole village has a helping hand. The villagers who work outside also donate through WeChat transfer. Many villagers also mobilize their relatives and friends to donate."
69-year-old Liu Lixiang and 70-year-old Liu Laizhan are both five-guarantee households in the village. They respectively handed over the 50 yuan in cash they had saved to the village cadres and said sincerely: "The party and the government have given us food and clothing. Worrying and happy life, now that others have difficulties, we must do our part."
Liujiaying Village is located in the deep mountain area of Taihang Mountain, Shunping County, Baoding City. There are 123 households with 310 people in the village.
