Gifts for Sanitation Workers

极目新闻记者经多方打听得知，视频由仙桃市环卫局城西所管理员曾翠红拍摄，本是记录生活中的美好一刻，没想到却有这么多人点赞关注。据她介绍，视频里的男子名叫操艳红，是仙桃市猫子鞋服工厂店的老板，1月1日早上，操艳红准备了一批新棉衣，来到仙桃街头免费送给环卫工人。从早上9时到中午12时，只要是路遇穿着橘红色工作服的工人，他就招呼大家过来试穿，大中小款尺码都有，粉红淡绿等颜色多样。

After several inquiries, JIMU news reporters learnt that the video was taken by Zeng Cuihong, the administrator of the Western Branch Office of Xiantao Sanitation Bureau, to capture the memorable moment. She did not expect it to receive so many likes and so much attention. Zeng introduced that the man in the video is Cao Yanhong, the owner of Maozi Outlet Store for Shoes and Clothing in Xiantao. On that Sunday morning of January 1, Cao prepared a batch of new cotton-padded jackets and took to the streets to gift them to sanitation workers. From 9 a.m. to 12 a.m., as long as sanitation workers wearing orange overalls were encountered, he invited them to try on a new jacket. The jackets were available in all sizes and colors, ranging from small, medium to large in size, and pink, light green etc. in color.

“感觉那一幕很温暖。”曾翠红回忆，那是2023年的第一天，正值元旦假期。为了守护城市之美，越是假期，大家越是忙碌，工作性质使然。而操先生为大家准备的这份新年礼物，不仅穿着暖和，也让大家心里倍感温暖。

"It was such a warm scene." Zeng recalled that it was the first day of 2023, New Year"s Day. However, it is on holidays such as these that sanitation workers became even busier to keep the city clean. They are grateful not only for Cao"s warm clothes but also for his warm heart.

今年47岁的操艳红在仙桃豪布斯卡经营着一家服装店，店铺面积有近4000平方米，店内男装、女装、童装各种款式都有。2002年，他与妻子前往山东潍坊创业，经营着一家20多平方米的服装零售店。凭借着过人的头脑和吃苦耐劳的精神，二人将小店经营得越来越红火，不仅店面越来越大，在安徽也拥有了2家分店。

Cao Yanhong, 47, runs a clothing store with an area of more than 4000 square metres in Xiantao HOPSCA selling men"s, women"s and children"s clothing of various styles. In 2002, he and his wife started their own business, a retail clothing store about 20 square metres, in Weifang of Shandong province. Thanks to his insightful and hard-working spirit, the couple"s small store grew exponentially to a larger store, and soon into two more branches in Anhui province.

因思乡已久，2022年6月，操艳红夫妻二人将服装店开回了仙桃。开业半年，服装店经受了来自各方面的考验，在父老乡亲的支持下，生意一直都很不错。几天前，他偶然看到街头的环卫工人冒着严寒辛苦工作，便萌生了为他们发放棉衣的想法。“感谢大家的支持，我的店子生意不错，我就想尽自己所能去回馈社会。”

In June 2022, Cao Yanhong and his wife, due to homesickness, returned to Xiantao with their clothing business. In its first six months, the clothing store has thus far overcome numerous difficulties. But thanks to the support of local residents, their business has been thriving. A few days before New Year"s Day, Cao happened to see sanitation workers working on the street in the severe cold, and came up with the idea of providing them with padded jackets. "My shop is doing well because of the support from our community and so I wanted to do what I could to give back to them."

朴素善意 汇成冬日温暖

Simple Goodwill

Converging into a Torrent of Warmth in Winter

有了送棉衣的想法后，操艳红来到了服装批发市场，考察新棉衣。操艳红告诉极目新闻记者，他花了不少心思选衣服，从款式到尺码，再到颜色，都进行了仔细挑选，希望他们穿着合身、暖和又好看。最终，200件棉衣花费近两万元。

After having the idea of gifting padded jackets, Cao Yanhong examined and selected jackets at the wholesale clothing market. He told the JIMU News reporter that he put a lot of thought into selecting the jackets, weighing carefully factors such as style, size and color, hoping they would be a good fit, warm and good-looking. All 200 pieces of clothing cost nearly 20,000 yuan.

“他一直都善良。”操艳红的善举，家人们一直都很支持。妻子张翠霞介绍，2022年12月，操艳红托朋友买了5万斤大白菜，在仙桃城区及张沟镇等3个乡镇免费派发。他租一辆货车拉着菜，有时守在繁华的街头，有时去到偏远乡镇，东奔西走将菜送给有需要的人。前段时间，他还将自己手里备的几盒感冒药分享给了别人。

"He has always been kind." The family has always been very supportive of Yanhong"s charitable efforts. According to his wife Zhang Cuixia, in December 2022, Cao Yanhong bought 25,000 kg of Chinese cabbage from a friend, and distributed it for free in three towns, including Xiantao City and Zhanggou Town. To distribute the cabbage to those in need, he rented a van to transport it, waiting by busy streets or travelling to remote villages and towns. Recently, during a particularly difficult time, he even shared a few boxes of extra cold medicine with others.

“只要我们每个人都献出一点爱心，2023年一定会更好！”新的一年已到，谈及未来，操艳红充满期待，他说不仅要经营好自己的服装店，还要一直尽自己所能回馈乡邻。

"As long as each of us extends a little love, a better 2023 awaits us!" Cao Yanhong expressed great optimism for the new year, saying he would not only manage their own clothing stores well, but also do his best to give back to their neighbors.

仙桃市城管局局长陈金兵为操艳红的善意举动点赞。他表示，感谢爱心人士在寒冷的冬日给环卫工人带来的温暖，也感谢社会各界对“城市美容师”们的关心关爱，全市环卫工人将把社会的关爱化为工作的动力，把城市打扫得更加干净，营造更加美好的环境，全力以赴助力仙桃市“创城摘牌”，以此回报社会各界爱心。

Chen Jinbing, the director of Xiantao Municipal Urban Management and Law Enforcement Bureau, commended Cao Yanhong for his kindness. He expressed his gratitude to Cao for his bringing warmth to the sanitation workers in the cold winter, and also thanked all walks of life for their care and concern for the "urban beauticians". The care and concern from all in society will motivate sanitation workers to make the city cleaner, create a more beautiful environment, and elevate Xiantao to the status of National Civilized City, thus repaying the love received from society.
