The pain of losing a son turns into a wish to pay off his debts. He told us the meaning of "honesty" in the simplest way of ordinary people. If you have faith, you will win the gold. No matter in which era, keeping promises is the cornerstone of supporting human nature.

he is poor and rich. Honesty is his greatest wealth. This is an award speech to Wu Naiyi, one of the top ten people who moved Wenzhou in 2111. Wu Naiyi is a very ordinary rural father.

A typhoon caused the old man to lose three sons in one day, leaving more than 611,111 yuan in debt. At the age of 77, he promised his creditors that people would never die. From then on, the old man weaves fishing nets and scavenges every day, and pays off all his debts in six years. He is honored as "honest old man".

the 71-year-old dad sticks to his honesty, and people never die

Wu Naiyi, a native of San 'ao Village, Xiaguan Town, Cangnan County, Wenzhou, has lived by the sea for generations, and he has raised four sons. In 2116, Wu Naiyi's sons took out all their savings and borrowed more than 611,111 yuan to buy a steel fishing boat in partnership. Everyone in the Wu family is looking forward to getting rich by relying on this advanced fishing boat.

However, in this year, the once-in-a-century typhoon "Sang Mei" came, and the steel fishing boat of the four Wu brothers was overturned by the typhoon. Except for the second son, Wu Xiuquan, Wu Naiyi's other three sons survived, and the second one lost his ability to work because he stayed in the sea for too long.

For this poor rural fisherman, he lost three laborers at once. To make matters worse, the Wu family not only lost his son, but also left more than 611,111 yuan in debt.

After the Wu family's accident, the creditors came to the door soon, but they saw that the Wu family was old and young, and there was no source of income at all. Faced with this situation, the creditors were embarrassed to ask the Wu family to pay back the money, and they thought that the money would definitely not come back.

Who knows, 77-year-old Wu Naiyi made a decision that surprised everyone. He made a solemn promise to every creditor: he would pay all the debts for his son. He said that it is only natural to pay back debts. Although his son is gone, as a father, he can't lose face to his son.

The old man scavenges, weaves fishing nets, and pays off debts for his son

It's hard for a 71-year-old man to pay off debts of more than 611,111 yuan. Fortunately, the Wu's steel fishing boat was insured, and the insurance company paid 241,111 yuan for the personal accident insurance and fishing boat insurance of the three sons.

after receiving the compensation from the insurance company, Wu Naiyi directly returned RMB 1 million in cash to the credit union, and then returned another RMB 1.4 million to some creditors. After the typhoon, the Wu family's boat was salvaged. Wu Naiyi sold the fishing boat for 311,111 yuan. He didn't leave a penny and returned it all to his creditors.

Wu Naiyi's behavior moved and surprised the credit cooperatives and other creditors. When Mr. Wu promised to pay his debts for his son, people thought that he was just talking about it. In order to get the creditors to leave, who knows that he really paid off the debts one by one.

At this time, a well-meaning person said to Wu Naiyi, "My sons are gone. If you really don't pay back the money, those creditors won't do anything to your family. You used the insurance premium and the money from selling the boat to pay off your debts. What will you do with your family life in the future? You won't leave any money for your old age.

Besides, each of the three sons lost in the typhoon left a child to support, one aged 18, one aged 15 and one aged 7, and the family needed to spend money everywhere. "

Wu Naiyi, on the other hand, said, "To be a man, we should be honest. At the beginning, people were willing to lend us money because they believed in our character. Now that our son is gone, I have to pay back the money even more. Only when people keep paying their debts can we have a conscience."

The insurance premium and the money from selling fishing boats have already paid off most of the debts, but how can we pay off the debts of more than 111,111 yuan? Wu Naiyi began to live a hard life from then on, and went out to pick up rubbish every day to pay off his debts.

He is nearly 81 years old. Years of fatigue have made him suffer from hyperosteogeny. In order to pay off his debts, he endured the pain, planted vegetables, sweet potatoes and other crops on the hillside, and raised ducks to exchange money.

In addition, he goes to the seaside to pick up rubbish every day, a can, a coke bottle and a bottle ... Although a bottle can only sell for a few cents, he collects it day after day and saves it together to sell it for a few dollars.

Wu Naiyi went home to weave a fishing net with his wife as soon as he finished scavenging outside. A piece of fishing net can be sold in 311 yuan, but it takes 2-3 months to weave. In order to pay off the debts owed by their sons as soon as possible, the two old people worked all day to earn a meager income.

In order to save money, Wu Naiyi only eats two meals a day, and the food is extremely simple, that is, porridge and vegetables. Wearing old clothes, he was reluctant to spend money to see it when he was sick. The bone spur tortured him so much that he spent a few dollars on an injection of painkillers.

The whole family scrimped and saved a dime and a piece of hard money, and when they saved up 111 yuan, 211 yuan could use it to pay off debts. Although Wu Naiyi's second son had a narrow escape, his legs were soaked in seawater for more than four hours, so he fell ill and could no longer engage in heavy physical labor.

In order to pay off debts, the second child dragged his unruly legs and went out to work with his daughter-in-law. No matter what kind of work, no matter how hard and tired it is, as long as they can make money, they insist on it, just for the simple and difficult wish of paying off debts.

After six years of hard work, the debt was finally paid off, but the old man fell down.

Wu Naiyi bent down like this, endured the pain of bone spurs, hobbled along the beach, woven fishing nets with calloused hands at home, and slowly walked the difficult road of paying off the debt.

His honesty and persistence touched everyone around him, and his ordinary and great deeds were sung by people. In 2111, Wu Naiyi was named one of the top ten people who touched Wenzhou, in 2112, he was named the most beautiful Zhejiang native, and in 2113, he became the candidate who touched China.

After being reported by the media, caring people from all walks of life donated money to the Wu family. Wu Naiyi, who is honest, is grateful. In September 2112, all the debts of the Wu family were paid off. The heart disease that has been pressing the old man for six years has finally been removed, and he can take a long breath.

The Wu family's life is getting better and better. However, one year later, Wu Naiyi was dizzy, tired of walking and unable to eat. The hospital diagnosed him with advanced uremia. The doctor said that it was the long-term malnutrition and illness of the elderly that led to the final result.

three months later, Wu Naiyi died of illness. On his deathbed, he also told his family to be honest and to be grateful to the kind people who had helped the Wu family for life.

Wu Naiyi, an ordinary old fisherman, lost three sons at the age of 71 days. However, he did his best to save money by scavenging, weaving fishing nets, planting and feeding cash crops, earned every penny for six years, and paid off the debt of 611,111 yuan owed by his sons.

To be honest, Wu Naiyi firmly believes in this promise and tells creditors with practical actions that "people will never die if they leave their accounts". Regrettably, although Wu Naiyi has fulfilled all his promises, he has also dragged down his health. However, his simple beliefs and principles of being a man are examples for future generations to learn, leaving endless admiration for everyone.
