In the Donghu Community, there is an ID named wu_naihua, who often writes posts with both text and images. He has a good writing style, excels in photography, knows audio-visual anime, calligraphy and painting, as well as poetry and couplets... In short, he can do anything! Such a super netizen is hard to remain obscure. He has already been noticed by the ladies. If he doesn't come out to clarify soon, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Actually, wu_naihua is an old grandfather, 73 years old, from Xiantao, his real name is Wu Naihua. Last year, he donated money for cancer patient Sun Caixia, and he sent money to my card. We didn't meet at that time. It was during the 20th anniversary celebration of Miancheng town that I had the honor to meet him in person. That day, while he was taking photos among the crowd, he was accidentally captured by Hunan netizen Furongwang. Tall and slim, dignified and handsome, with a camera hanging around his neck, his features were too distinct. Who else could it be? Upon inquiry, it turned out to be the long-admired Mr. Wu!
Mr. Wu's current work is taking care of his grandson and surfing the internet. He can't live without the internet now, spending at least two or three hours online every day, sometimes up to five or six hours. Ten years ago, he was hired to teach in the south, where his horizons broadened greatly. He felt outdated and decided to start over again, spending 150 yuan to buy an old computer, thus forming an inseparable bond with the internet.
Mr. Wu is the heralding rooster of the Xiantao forum, almost every morning, he is the first one to post. His first post signifies the official opening of the forum. Mr. Wu pursues perfection in everything he does. If he does something, he strives to do it best. He is a senior high school teacher, equivalent to a university associate professor. Before retirement, he published three mathematics monographs. In the network era, the old man kept up with the times, gradually becoming a computer expert. His posts are very substantial. It's hard to believe that those original or PS-edited beautiful pictures are from the hands of a septuagenarian.
Mr. Wu's debut post is called "History Written on Stones", over 5000 words, accompanied by more than 40 exquisite images, interpreting the 1400-year history of Mianyang Ancient City from a unique perspective. Stone carvings, stone inscriptions, stone lions, and stone archways, all exuding ancient charm, magnificently enhancing the sense of history and vicissitude. Though a new user and a new post, it caused a strong sensation, and since then, he couldn't stop. Within just a year of registration, he posted nearly ten thousand threads, with over a hundred being marked as excellent.
Mr. Wu is a man who loves life. He can't stay idle, so he specially bought a digital portable DC camera and wandered around everywhere. This not only exercised his body but also cultivated his mind and spirit, achieving two goals at once. Whenever he took a good photo, he would upload it without reservation, allowing others to share. There were urban scenes, rural landscapes, construction achievements, and records of public activities. He promoted Xiantao in the most intuitive way, letting outsiders know and understand Xiantao, and making the people of Xiantao love their hometown even more.
Sometimes, Mr. Wu behaves like a young idealist. He pays attention to people's livelihood, frequently offering advice to the government through the internet, and fighting for the rights of the common people; he admires civilization, dares to expose the dark side, and criticizes all unhealthy behaviors. On March 21, 2007, Mr. Wu saw the advertisement boards in front of the New Concept Sports City filled with "certificate" contact numbers, feeling indignant. He wrote an article titled "Who is Smearing", attaching two photos and two satirical poems. The poem reads: "I am in the flowers, adding charm to the city, but today I have been smeared, who will wash me?" and "Certificate, certificate, littering the streets, in our hometown, who needs your certificate." A few days later, he went to check specifically, finding that the advertisement board had been cleaned, and the surroundings looked brand new. This shows that his efforts were not in vain. Relieved, he took another photo and wrote a follow-up short article titled "The Advertisement Board Here Has Changed." He wrote: "Advocating spiritual civilization is the hope that we can have a beautiful living environment, and more importantly, don't let those messy things poison the minds of future generations."
Mr. Wu is very busy now. When I visited with Furongwang, he was typing on the keyboard, writing an article titled "How Did the Railing Get in Your Way," about the tragic destruction of the waterside platform by the Xianxia River. To more realistically depict life, he changed to a new camera, a professional digital single-lens reflex DSLR. It was bought on Taobao for over 8000 yuan, and he wasn't afraid of being deceived. Such boldness is truly admirable.
