"You use electricity and I take care of it. If you have anything to do, I'll see A Bin." In Hangzhou, Zhejiang, there is such a "Master A Bin". He has been working on the front line of electric power for more than 40 years. Not only does he do his job well, he also often spends his spare time helping people solve various minor problems. The light bulbs at home were broken or the fuses were broken. As long as people found him, he would never say "no". In the eyes of Master A Bin, he has been doing these "little things within his power" for decades.
At around 10 a.m., Master A Bin and members of the service team came to Wangma Community in Hangzhou to conduct an inspection on electricity safety. There are more than 50 old communities like this that have paired up in Hangzhou. Every month, members of the "Abin I Come to Help" volunteer service team will visit regularly. For older people, they will also conduct home inspections.
Su Kaijian, a citizen of Hangzhou: There are many elderly people in our community. Once or twice a month, the lectures are very detailed. Especially for us empty nesters, we feel very warm.
In a while, Master A Bin will retire, but he will stand on the last duty and lead the young team members to do volunteer services. As for such "butler-style" volunteer services, he started doing it when he first started working. A table of old objects left memories of that time.
The work notes recorded in detail that there were more than ten lines that needed to be repaired that night in Hangzhou. Master A Bin said that in the 1980s and 1990s, the power grid foundation was weak and the repair team was very busy. In addition to line problems, their team often receives calls for help from people. The fuses at home are burned out, the electricity is out, etc. These are not part of their duties, but as long as Master A Bin knows about it, he will use his free time to run One trip.
Shi Wenbin, captain of Hangzhou City’s “Abin I’m here to help” volunteer service team: is a business card that was given to ordinary people back then, not a business card. The pagers I still used back then were used to make it easier for people to come to me, with the words "come to me if you need anything" written on the back. It's purely to help, because the people don't understand electricity, and I have this skill, why don't I help them.
A person’s power is limited. Later, Master A Bin’s behavior was supported by the unit. In 2004, the North Power Supply Bureau of Hangzhou Electric Power Bureau established a volunteer service team named after Master A Bin to help people solve problems and difficulties in using electricity at home.
From one person to a group of people, doing "little things" within their capabilities
In recent years, with the continuous improvement of power infrastructure, people have fewer and fewer problems with electricity at home, but the content of team volunteer services has become more and more abundant. In Master A Bin's office, he showed us a gift with special meaning.
Mopping the floor and cleaning, the paintings the children gave to Master A Bin were scenes of their work in "Yidian Bay".
In 2019, Master A Bin got to know this group of "big kids" with mental disabilities. Under his promotion, a multi-party public welfare project to help the disabled - "Yidian Bay" was officially launched. Every weekday afternoon, the "big kids" will come here to clean up under the leadership of the teacher.
Zhou Hong, Wanwan Custody Center, Shangcheng District, Hangzhou: They have a very good relationship, because they have been together for several years, and we take them to do sanitation together every once in a while. Uncle A Bin and the others pay us a certain amount of labor fees every year. They need to be recognized by society, and they need to be like everyone else, I go to work, I go to find a job.
From the beginning, Master A Bin was alone, to a small team of 7 people, and then more and more people joined it. At present, the "Abin I Come to Help" service team has grown into a team covering 13 districts and counties in Hangzhou with more than 2,200 volunteers. They regularly go into the community to provide electricity safety services. They are active in every corner of the city, participate in social charity services, etc., and use practical actions to do the "little things" they can. In the past 20 years, the team has volunteered more than 100,000 times.
Shi Wenbin, captain of Hangzhou’s “Abin I’ll Help” service team: 2, I have gone from being a young boy to going home after 42 years, and my hair has turned white. I think I can't do it alone. If everyone works together, the power will be greater. Love yourself, love this society, and love the people around you. He may feel that this person has helped me, and he may also think of how to help others in the future. This is also a kind of transmission of love.
