"Hello, is this the Wushe Neighborhood Committee? Can you help me find a grandma..." Old man Zhang on the other end of the phone described the age and appearance of this grandma to the staff of the Wushe Neighborhood Committee. appearance and other basic characteristics. It turned out that Mr. Zhang wanted to find the aunt who helped take care of his children at his home more than 30 years ago. Due to his busy work at that time, he had no time to take care of the family. Fortunately, under the careful care of this aunt, his grandchildren were able to grow up healthily. Although he later lost his I lost contact, but I always kept him in mind. Now that my grandson is about to get married, I want to invite my grandma to the wedding and thank her in person for all her hard work.
After more than thirty years, Uncle Zhang’s memory of this home-based aunt is limited to knowing the surname of the aunt’s husband. He must be in his nineties now, lives by the river, and has an empty phone number.
The clue of "living by the river" made the staff initially think that they were residents of Yaochang Village in Wushe District. Grid Chief Shen Xia took the photos and visited every house in Yaochang Village to inquire. Considering that the grandmother was over 90 years old, Years old, current residents may not necessarily know her. Shen Xia also went to the Houde Nursing Home in the jurisdiction to inquire about the elderly who originally lived in Yaochang Village.
After Shen Jianhong, secretary of the Party branch of Wushe Residential Area, learned about it, she immediately went to the telecommunications company to inquire about the original user information of this "empty account". Unfortunately, the telecommunications company searched the records of the year and found no useful information.
Just when various inquiries were fruitless, Shen Jianhong remembered that when she was working in Shuguang Village, there were several aunts from the village who specialized in taking care of children in the neighboring town of Zhujing, so Shen Jianhong mobilized her old colleagues in Shuguang Village to help with the identification. At the same time, the staff of the neighborhood committee also forwarded the photos to various community owner groups and circles of friends, and a tracing relay began.
Soon the grid leader Zhou Guozhen came to the neighborhood committee and said that the old woman in the photo looked a bit like Grandma Tao who lived in Jianshe Garden. After questioning Grandma Tao’s family, it was confirmed that the old man in Mr. Zhang’s photo was Grandma Tao Huihua. More than 30 years ago, Tao Huihua, who lived in Shuguang Village, worked as a stay-at-home aunt in Zhujing Town to help take care of her children. Later, her old house in Shuguang Village was moved to Jiansheyuan Community due to the high-speed rail line.
After learning the news, Mr. Zhang and his grandson went to visit Grandma Tao Huihua at her home. They sat together and recounted every detail of how Grandma Tao took care of her children, and sent a wedding invitation to Grandma Tao. Later, Mr. Zhang and his family came to the neighborhood committee and presented a banner to Secretary Shen Jianhong to express their gratitude.
With the help of the Wushe Neighborhood Committee and enthusiastic residents, this "family relationship" that has been separated for more than 30 years can be continued.
