不靠别人靠自己!八旬老人坚持每日开店谋生感动网友

虽然年过八旬,但老人仍秉持着不靠别人,用自己的双手过活,经营杂货店。

日前,有网友在脸书上发文吁请大家纷纷伸出援手,帮忙老人,不过据义工组织“Mummy Yummy”的贴文解释,老人实则不需要大家援助,但大家仍可前去探望他,或是买点东西“帮衬”老人家店铺的生意。

为了支持老人的生活,网友纷纷“出动”到老人店里购买货物。老人对于瞬间变成“网红”,也感到受宠若惊。

网友此前分享老人的照片,当时正孤坐在杂货店前,望向远方,而店铺两侧则大门深锁,看似相当可怜。

网友也指出,老人直到深夜都仍未收档,因此欲请网友出手相助。网友也在文末表示,尽管老人看似不富裕,但仍依靠自己的双手赚钱,并非选择用乞讨的方式。

帖文发出后,也立即引起网友的关注,不少网友留言心疼老人,年纪大了仍无法退休,也有网友佩服老人迄今仍依靠自己的双手赚钱。该帖文也获得逾2万次转载。

据《8视界》报导,老人姓黄,于1976年开始在861号桥北路巴刹和熟食中心的杂货店做生意,每天早上6点多开档,下午约3、4点才慢慢收档,风雨不改。

至于他的家庭,他也表示,自己并没有孩子,妻子也在十多年前过世,如今和一名老友合租一间一房式的租凭租屋同住。

针对店旁两侧的店铺,黄老先生也解释因为照片的缘故,让网友纷纷觉得店铺两侧的商店已倒闭,但其实不然。

“其实没有啦,我右边这个店是卖咖啡粉的,下午才开档;左边这些店上午就收档了,就变成好像只有我一家店在开门做生意。”

黄老先生也说,虽然自己的生意并没有因为照片流传而大幅增加,但在这一两天内,确实有很多人到访,不仅在买东西时没有讨价还价,反而给了他很多钱。

询及他的店铺生意时,黄老先生也表示,自己的生意反倒因疫情缘故而有所好转,因为居民纷纷嫌去超市很麻烦,所以选择到自己的店铺采购。

老人表示自己的生活还算勉强维持得下去,扣除租金、房租等开销,还需要买日常用品和日常开销,所以有时候是刚好,有时则稍微不足。

尽管生活并不富裕,身上还带着一些病痛,但黄老先生仍相当乐观,表示自己至少不用到外面去乞讨,其励志的生活态度也感动了不少人
