After 33 years of marriage, Master Xia Juming, the dormitory administrator of Neusoft College, and Aunt Wang Maizhen, the cleaning staff, took their first group of wedding photos in the school. On the university campus, the couple, who are over 500 years old, smile in front of the camera like newly married young people. The youth volunteer service team who took this group of wedding photos said that the purpose of taking this group of special wedding photos was to help the middle-aged and elderly teachers and staff in the school retain the old times and re-find the romance of youth.
Story: After 30 years of marriage, the campus snuggles up.
Master Xia Juming and Aunt Wang Maizhen’s hometown is Yantianhe Town, Macheng City, Hubei Province. In 1984, introduced by relatives in the village, Master Xia met Aunt Wang, who lived in a neighboring village at that time. After more than a year of contact, they officially registered to get married in 1985.
Xia Juming told reporters that the conditions at that time were relatively general. After two people registered for marriage in the local area, they put two tables of banquets at home and entertained relatives and friends around them, even if they were officially married. "At that time, there were no wedding dresses and suits. We wore clean clothes when we visited relatives in the New Year, even if it was a dress. At that time, there was no sedan chair and no car. They put a few tables in the yard at home and even got married." Master Xia said.
After the marriage, Master Xia and Aunt Wang lived a very happy life. In the second year, they had a daughter, and the next year, they gave birth to a son, which made the family’s burden heavier. Master Xia began to work in other places, while Aunt Wang took care of the fields and raised a pair of children in her hometown in the country. Master Xia told reporters that at that time, he was bent on living a good life and bringing up his children, and the rest of the things were neglected.
In 2014, Master Xia and Aunt Wang came to Neusoft College in Guangdong Province. Master Xia served as the administrator of the teaching building E and F of Neusoft, while Aunt Wang served as the cleaning staff of the teaching building E. Now their daughter is married, their son works in a car factory, and they rent a house outside the campus. They go to work and get off work together every day, enjoying a quiet life and getting along well with Neusoft’s teachers and students.
As an experienced person, Master Xia shared the secret of their marriage with the students at school. Master Xia told them that the secret of their happiness lies in mutual understanding. "I always listen to her as long as I don’t touch the principle." Master Xia said with a smile.
Dream interpretation: Unfortunately, there is no wedding photo. We will help you make it up.
Middle-aged and elderly workers who have been married for many years like Master Xia and Aunt Wang, but have never taken wedding photos, have been concerned by Neusoft Youth Volunteer Service Team. Chen Runjian, secretary of Guangdong Neusoft College, said that last year Neusoft Youth Volunteer Service Team participated in the volunteer service project competition in Nanhai District and successfully applied for the volunteer work project of "Visiting 10,000 families to warm people’s hearts". Taking wedding photos for middle-aged and elderly faculty members is part of the project.
At the beginning, the purpose of the project "visiting thousands of families and warming people’s hearts" was to serve the hard workers who silently contributed to us in their lives. Let them add a little fun after work and feel happy and joyful. Qiu Pei, the captain of the project team, said that from the beginning of the project, the project planned to take wedding photos for this lovely group of uncles and aunts in the school, such as boarding house, property management, cleaning and dining hall, to help them retain the old days, make up for the regrets of that year and find the romance of youth again.
Originally, the students planned to find five old couples and take photos for them as souvenirs. But what I didn’t expect was that "many uncles and aunts are shy, and they all feel a little embarrassed to take wedding photos when they are old." Student volunteers said that in the end, many uncles and aunts gave up, and only Uncle Xia and Aunt Wang agreed to take pictures.
"At that time, I was still a little shy. After all, why did I still wear a wedding dress when I was old? But I didn’t take a wedding photo because of limited conditions. Now I have a chance. I feel very happy to try it!" Aunt Wang told reporters. Master Xia said that he couldn’t let his wife wear a wedding dress that year, and this time he can compensate his wife well.
Shooting: There is a little lucky in the tree-lined campus.
Zhang Zhimin, head of the Young Volunteers Service Team of Neusoft University, told the reporter that in order to help Master Xia and Aunt Wang take good wedding photos, they had been preparing for more than a month. First of all, the problem of clothing. They contacted the merchants and got a sponsorship of a men’s dress, and rented a wedding dress with the funds of the volunteer project. Because wedding photography requires a lot of makeup, they also borrowed a set of cosmetics from their classmates.
"Because of limited funds, we borrowed a set from our classmates. Basically, a classmate borrows foundation, and a classmate excuses to be red, so it is a little bit. " Zhang Zhimin said. As for the makeup artist, the students from Neusoft College Art Troupe are appointed. The photography and equipment preparation of wedding photos are the responsibility of the new media team of the volunteer service team.
On March 24th, the shooting day finally arrived, and Master Xia and Aunt Wang came early in the morning. On the roadside, in the Woods and on the path, the students of the volunteer service team used cameras to record the figures of Master Xia and Aunt Wang.
At first, shooting two people was a bit stiff, but the weather was fine that day. After a little adaptation, Aunt Wang was happy to discuss the location and angle of shooting with the photographer, trying to get the most beautiful picture. Aunt Wang, who is a little shy, still admits: "I was very nervous on the day of shooting, especially when acquaintances passed by, but I was also very happy at the same time, feeling that I was getting younger in the camera."
What the couple didn’t expect was that after this group of wedding photos was released on the school WeChat WeChat official account, they actually became red people on campus. Master Xia said that he and his wife haven’t told their children about it. "After all, I feel a little shy when I am so old." However, Master Xia said that he and his wife were very satisfied with the wedding photos, and they also agreed to take them again in the future as a commemoration of their marriage.
Heat transfer:
"The warmest wedding photos" smashed the circle of friends, teachers and students sent blessings.
"Very meaningful activities, like it manually!" "The most romantic thing I can think of is to grow old with you … …” "Ordinary posts and ordinary actions are extraordinary scenery on campus! Warm heart, moved! " This group of photos of 57-year-old Uncle Su Guanxia and 56-year-old Aunt Wang, the cleaner, were called "the warmest wedding photos" by Neusoft students, and they were also circulated in the circle of friends of the school.
"People who usually live around us didn’t expect to be so handsome and beautiful after wearing makeup and wedding dresses." Teacher Li of Neusoft College praised him.
While sending blessings to them, it also reminds students of the couple’s daily memories: "I believe that you can’t open the door, air conditioner or computer when you go to the classroom. You have all seen this uncle." Neusoft students commented that they like this couple very much, because they greet the students kindly every time they meet.
"Seeing this uncle, I can’t help but want to share my experience!" Zhang said that before attending classes in Building E, the computer was too heavy. If he didn’t want to take it back and forth, he asked Uncle Xia to help him keep it. I once lost my umbrella, and Uncle Xia helped me find it. After class is over, Uncle Xia will come to lock the door. If he hasn’t left, he will kindly remind me to close the door!
In the interview, the reporter learned that Master Xia, as the administrator of the teaching building, has been conscientious for many years. He has been doing his best to help the students of Neusoft College. Aunt Wang is usually responsible for the hygiene of the teaching building, and she also does her duty in her work, and often helps her classmates find lost items.
"This kind of activity reflects the love of students, which is a good thing." For the shooting of this group of wedding photos, the person in charge of the school said that the school has always emphasized the humanistic care for faculty and students, making teachers become temperature receivers and temperature transmitters, and students now pass this temperature on to ordinary workers. "I hope to see more wedding works. For example, I can invite my parents to school and take a group of wedding photos." For the next plan, the school official said.
