Qilu Net· Lightning News September 17th "I will continue to play an exemplary role and carry forward the honest and simple character of Shandong people and the traditional virtue of filial piety and loving family!" Liu Hua, a "good man in Shandong" from Guangrao, Dongying, said at the spiritual symposium of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important reply to "good people in China" Li Peisheng and Hu Xiaochun.
For more than 20 years, she has done her best to take care of every elderly person in the family; with her tenacity and courage, she has become a well-known "mushroom expert". To parents, she is a dutiful son, and to everyone, she is the eaves of shelter. "Shandong good man" Liu Hua redefines his life value with hard work.
The seeds of "filial piety" are quietly buried in the hearts of the adoptive parents' kindness
Forty years ago, Liu Hua's biological parents adopted the young Liu Hua because he understood that his brother and sister-in-law had no children. Since then, Liu Hua has lived with his adoptive parents.
All the delicious food is given to Liu Hua first, and the good-looking clothes are always obtained before others. The adoptive parents take care of them as their own, so that the young Liu Hua has more love. The sensible Liu Hua has always kept in mind the kindness of his adoptive parents to him. The seed of "filial piety" slowly took root and sprouted in Liu Hua's heart.
In 1997, Liu Hua formed his own family. Industrious, she and her new husband tried to grow oyster mushrooms in their responsible fields. Although life was hard, the family was happy. However, the sweet and happy days did not last long, and the difficulties that followed left the optimistic Liu Hua at a loss.
With a strong smile, she took care of 6 elderly people for 20 years.
In 1999, her adoptive mother who suffered from breast cancer passed away for 9 years. Liu Hua, who has been taking good care of her adoptive mother, is heartbroken. She is determined to take care of the elderly at home. Well, let them enjoy their old age.
However, life has not sympathized with this optimistic and filial woman. In 2007, Liu Hua's mother-in-law suffered from cerebral thrombosis and left behind sequelae and could not take care of herself. The pregnant Liu Hua did laundry, cooking, and rehabilitation exercises for the elderly every day. In 2015, Liu Hua's adoptive father suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and suffered from Alzheimer's disease due to a secondary cerebral infarction. For the convenience of taking care of him, Liu Hua let his adoptive father live in his own home, bringing him water, feeding him, and wiping his body every day without complaining. In 2016, Liu Hua's biological mother suffered a cerebral hemorrhage at the market and lost basic self-care ability after rescue. In 2019, her biological father underwent two operations.
In the face of six old and sickly elderly people, Liu Hua did not choose to give up. Even if he was not understood, he still supported the family. For more than 20 years, Liu Hua has spent almost all of his time taking care of six elderly and sickly elderly people, with very little time to accompany his children. "One time it was snowing heavily, and when I got home, I found that the child was missing. I looked around like crazy, and finally found the child at the child's second aunt's house." Because Liu Hua and her husband took turns taking care of the elderly in the hospital, they had no time to take care of the child. The child woke up and couldn't find his mother, so he went to the second aunt's house by himself. "I shut myself at home and cried for a day, feeling sorry for the child." Liu Hua said.
Help each other to get rich together "Mushroom experts" help the backward villagers for free
In order to create better living conditions for the elderly, Liu Hua and her husband started to operate an edible mushroom farm in 2015. Because of their hard work and excellent skills, the couple have become well-known "mushroom experts". The 30 acres of edible mushroom farms they operate have been successively rated as " Dongying City Municipal Demonstration Farm" and Dongying City New Farmers Education and Training Demonstration Base ", "Shandong Province Women's Home Entrepreneurship, Employment, Poverty Alleviation Action Big Sister Workshop", etc. The success of
family farm oyster mushroom production has brought economic benefits to Liu Hua's family and embarked on a road to prosperity. However, Liu Hua and his wife see Since many villagers in the village still live on a few acres of farmland, they came up with the idea of giving back to the village. Since 2014, Liu Hua and his wife have actively promoted the cultivation of edible mushrooms and encouraged villagers to grow mushrooms. They not only "give it to the fish", but also " "Teach it to fish", hold edible fungus planting training classes every year, use its own technology to help the backward villagers for free, from the initial on-site guidance and hands-on operation, to let the villagers further understand the economic value of edible fungus cultivation, and gradually guide the villagers.

Liu Hua has also been rated as the 8th Provincial Moral Model, "Shandong Good Man", Dongying City's 2021 "Good Daughter-in-law", and Dongying City's 2022 "Five Good Civilized Family".
Filial piety is in the heart, and there is love, there is a home; responsibility is on the shoulders, and there is more love when there is a home! For more than 20 years, the weak Liu Hua has practiced filial piety, carried heavy burdens, and interpreted the true meaning of family affection in life with the love of the world. Just like the words she often said, "As long as there is love, home must be there!"
