At 8 o'clock last night, at a shoe repair booth in front of a pharmacy in the north gate of Hongyuan new district, Jianye District, Nanjing, there were still five or six people waiting in line to repair shoes.

The customers said that Zhao Shifu, who repaired shoes, was a disabled person. He worked overtime every day to help the younger brother who broke his leg in the accident, so we were moved to take care of his business.

Nanjing shoe repair for more than 20 years

Master Zhao is Zhao Shengming. He is 40 years old. He is a Ma On Shan man in Anhui.

When he was 3 years old, he suffered from poliomyelitis. His right leg was crippled. He couldn't walk well and always walked on crutches.

At the age of 17, Zhao declared that he had come to Nanjing alone, and rented a 8 square meter house in the Hongyuan community of Jianye district. He had put on a shoe repair stand for 20 years.

Over the years, as long as the disabled or over 70 years old have come to repair shoes, he will not accept them.

Lao Zhao said he had to repair forty or fifty pairs of shoes every day, and 20 years' shoes could be loaded with several trucks.

Diligence and kindness win sweet love.

Zhao declared that he could safely repair shoes in the street because he had a good wife in his family.

7 years ago, the disabled shoemaker met a healthy working girl at the first sight, and finally had a spark of love.

One night 7 years ago, Lao Zhao finished his work and went to a nearby small restaurant for dinner. There was a waiter named Lu who was just his fellow townsman. The two people chatted for a while, and the other side admired him for his disability.

"At that time, she was only 22 years old. She often came to my shoes to repair shoes, and chatted with me every time, and then we had feelings. It was said that the two of us were still in first love."

Lao Zhao said that in the winter of that year, Ms. Lu moved his luggage to his cabin, and the two began a sweet life.

Over the years, my wife has been working as a part-time worker outside and meticulously cares for him.

Nearby residents said he was a blessing from previous generations.

Last summer, his brother had a car accident and two legs were broken.

Lao Zhao's younger brother, Zhao Shengjin, is 37 years old.

During the summer slack, Zhao Shengjin took a free ride to Xuzhou to work. The car rear ended a large truck on the motorway. His arm and two legs were crushed, and he was rescued in hospital after 2 days in a coma.

The accident left him with high debt and lost his life.

At this time, Lao Zhao said to his younger brother, "you can rest assured that as long as your brother has a meal, he won't let you hungry."

He paid all his savings to his brother, and he continued to bear his brother's life and medical expenses.

Lao Zhao's approach was strongly supported by his wife.
