Aunt Makes Ten Thousand Pairs Of Insoles To Support The Army.

Yao Xiuying, a 70 year old resident in Phoenix Street Community in Gulou District, has been making insoles for officers and men since 1998. Over the past 9 years, she has made nearly 10000 pairs of insoles.

When reporters interviewed Yao Ma yesterday, the old man made 1008 pairs of insoles this year and was planning to send them to officers and men.

Make at least 3 pairs a day.

Yao Xiuying is an ordinary retired worker in the two factory of Nanjing optical instrument.

In the summer of 1998, when she retired from home, she saw the moving deeds of the children's soldiers fighting against the flood, and was deeply moved by the idea of doing something for the children's soldiers.

When the children and her wife learned about her idea, they were very supportive, too. When Yao was young, the best thing to do was to make insoles, so she began to make insoles for the officers and men of the army.

For more than 9 years, she has never stopped her hands. So far, she has made nearly 10000 pairs of insoles and sent them to nearly more than 20 departments such as the two detachment of the Provincial Armed Police, the Municipal Public Security Bureau, the Hanzhoung gate fire squadron, and the pontoon brigade troops.

When interviewed by Yao Ma's family, reporters found a sewing machine in the brightest place near the window of the old man's room.

The simple old man laughs and says that every day she is busy with insoles, and at least 3 pairs a day.

My wife's housework.

Yao's insistence infected every member of the family. In order to support Yao aunt's insole, his wife took the initiative to do all the housework.

In the words and deeds of Yao mother, her children, daughter-in-law, son-in-law and granddaughter often help fight. Not only that, but Yao's family also bought a washing machine to consolate the PLA several years ago, and the son-in-law also volunteered to repair the washing machine for the PLA.

For four consecutive years, Yao aunt took the wrapped dumplings to the two detachment of Jiangsu Armed Police Corps.

The soldier sees the shoe pad and thinks of her mother.

It is reported that when Aunt Yao sent the insoles to the barracks, there were many touching scenes.

Last year, on the Dragon Boat Festival, Yao Ma sent 300 pairs of insoles made by her own needle to the twelve squadron of the two armed police detachment. When a soldier from Shandong Yimeng armed police took over the insoles, she could not help crying in her eyes. She cried and hugged Yao ma. "When I joined the army last year, my mother made a pair of insoles for me. I haven't seen my mother for two years, and she has worn out her insoles. Today, when you come here, I seem to see my mother."

Strangers buy cloth and send them to the door.

Yao's deeds were not only infected with her relatives and friends, but also touched by some strangers who heard about her deeds.

A retired teacher Zhen wrote a letter of 5 pages to her with affection, and sent a big, sweet and red watermelon to Yao aunt to show his respect for Aunt Yao.

More people sent Yao Ma's cloth to make insoles, and some people didn't know Yao aunt at all. After looking for a long time after finding new cloth, they came to the door.

With so many people's support, Yao aunt is more energetic. She said that as long as her eyes can see, this thing will continue to do.
