An 88-year-old man in a suit sits elegantly in front of the piano, playing wonderful notes for the patients who come often, warming the hearts of the patients and their families. He is a retired professor in the Department of History at Nanjing University.
88-year-old Shen Xueshan is a young figure at the Nanjing Drum Building Hospital. In 2014, Shen Xueshan's friend was hospitalized at the Nanjing Drum Building Hospital. Not only did he find that he had a hard time seeing the medical staff, but the patient was in great pain. As soon as he saw that the hospital was recruiting piano volunteers publicly, he registered. He had been so busy for six years. Many patients who were hospitalized for a long time were very familiar with him.
{9He remembered that once, a woman suffering from absolute disease asked Shen Xueshan to play "Only Mom is Good in the World" to express her longing for her late mother, Shen Xueshan took the initiative to send a song "Mom's Kiss". When the music came to an end, the lady said to the people around her with a slight silence, "People always have to be old and old. I died of illness, but I want to face life strongly and fight for a speedy recovery." When he was moved by the lady, he gave him another song "Let the World Full of Love", which infected other audiences on the scene, singing "We are happy, we endure, and we are looking forward to the same...". The picture made people's memory new.
On another time, a little girl told Shen Xueshan that he was about to leave. In order to calm the girl, he played "Peace to You". When he met a patient who was about to be discharged from the hospital, he would send a happy song to celebrate. Every time he finished playing a song, Shen Xueshan would stand up and walk into the crowd, and smiled and asked everyone, "What song do you want to listen next?"
Shen Xueshan has been retired for more than 20 years. After retirement, he learned piano and spent two hours practicing every day. He sent classic songs such as "Give Love" and "Jasmine" to patients, families and medical staff. "The piano can activate your fingers and make you feel happy. The environment is so good, so I will continue." In fact, there are several students from Nanjing University who were rescued from the Nangufang Hospital and were especially grateful to the medical staff here.
Shen Xueshan believed that love and charity were of no interest or age. Even if he might not be able to continue research, he would also have to keep the idea of "a rose with a fragrant rose in his hands" and make a living.
"If you give love, you will get love, and the world will be more full of love." Love is invisible, spiritual, and difficult to estimate. Shen Xueshan understands this way, "If you give people happiness, you will be happy; if you give people warmth, you will be warmth; if you bring love to others, you will be loved by yourself." This enthusiastic retired professor spent six years conveying love with music, sending warmth and sunshine to others.
Now, the videos played by Shen Xueshan in the hospital are seen by everyone on the Internet. Netizens commented on "What a warm and loving person", "If you feel kind, you can get real happiness. Like the old professor", "It's great! Medical care is very hard, patients are in great pain, and music flows into your heart like a clear spring, comforting every fatigue "A heart of heart," a patient said after seeing Shen Xueshan's performance, "The first time I saw a hospital performing like this, I heard such a warm music in a very unsuitable state." His spirit of self-respecting and serving the crowd like him has moved many people in a silence, and I hope that this warmth will continue to be passed on and seen and appreciated by more and more people.
