Yang Hongguang opened a beef noodle shop. Because it is genuine and friendly, business has been good. This noon busy after a gas, is resting down to drink a cup of tea, the mobile phone rang, a listen, scared he almost knocked over the cup, the phone is the police, said his mother into the hospital!

Yang red light immediately rushed to the hospital, saw his mother lying in bed with fluid, and the police.

It turned out that the mother went to the lake for a walk in the afternoon, as always, lost her footing and fell into the lake, was saved by a good Samaritan. Thanks to the man's timely rescue and CPR skills, otherwise it would have been dangerous.

See Yang Hongdeng came, the mother kept saying: "Must find the benefactor!"

Yang red light busy said: "That of course, mom, what is that person called? Do you know the phone number?" The mother looked puzzled and said, "I was so faint that I almost went to die. I don't know what happened to my benefactor..."

Yang Hongzhong said, "Do you know what the benefactor looked like? How old is he?"

Then the policeman chimed in: "The man's information, not to mention your mother's, is unknown to us. He left quietly when the ambulance arrived, and by the time anyone remembered to look for him, he was long gone and there was no surveillance. But according to the witness, it was an old man in his late sixties, wearing a grey jacket, with somewhat graying hair and a healthy body, with a kind and kind face and long eyebrows. Look, this is a photograph taken by someone at the scene and we have saved it."

The police said handed over the mobile phone, Yang red light to take a look, as the police said, the picture of the good Samaritan is a face of good uncle. He was busy to copy the photo into his mobile phone, said to his mother: "Mom, you rest assured, this has the photo, I will find the benefactor."

But time passed day by day, Yang red light tried a variety of methods, even riding the car streets and alleys to find, but benefactor always do not show up. The hope of finding the benefactor is very slim, but Yang Hongguang still do not give up, because the mother's life can not violate, but can not close the noodle shop all over the world to find, he had a compromise: magnify the benefactor's photo, hung on the wall of their noodle shop, the following note, please pay attention to the guests to provide clues.

A flash of two years passed, within two years Yang red light has not given up efforts, but the benefactor has not been missing, and at this time the mother's life has come to an end.

Before closing her eyes, the mother pulled the hand of Yang Hongguang, repeatedly explained: "son, you must help mother find benefactor, or mother die unsatisfied!" Yang Hongguang said, "Mom, don't worry, I will find my benefactor, I will... Mama!"

As she spoke, my mother closed her eyes serenely. After burying his mother, Yang red light thought of his mother's last words, began to worry: good vow hair, but to cash than the day is difficult! Where is the benefactor? Passive sitting and waiting is not a way, in case someone else has not appeared, then I made a vow in front of my mother is not a lifetime to fulfill?

Thinking of this, Yang's eyes lit up: yes, I might as well do something good, the benefactor's good deeds passed on, it is also a different kind of return, so that one day when I go to see my mother, she will not blame me too much.

After some serious thinking, Yang decided to go to the nursing home once a month and cook a delicious beef noodle meal for the lonely elderly on the spot. He brought the beef, noodles and condiments with him, and the nursing home only needed to provide a kitchen.

After making the decision, Yang looked at his mother's loving face on the wall and said, "Mom, can I do this? You don't blame me, do you?" The picture shows her smiling, her eyes full of approval.

Month after month, Yang did not break his promise. Every month, he rode his tricycle and brought plenty of food to various nursing homes in turn to cook a hearty and delicious beef noodles for the elderly.

Originally Yang Hongguang is willing to spend money for the old people, who knows the store business has slowly prospered, the original is a long time, everyone knows his deeds, also intend to take care of his business. This makes Yang Hongguang more uneasy, return the social momentum is also bigger.

One day, an old woman fell down in front of his noodle shop. For a time, she could not get up and groaned. Passers-by did not dare to come forward. At this time someone stood out, without saying a word to help the old man, and called an ambulance, sent to the hospital after the advance on the cost, this man is Yang red light.

A neighbor worried ground to say: "Old Yang, you are not afraid of aunt falsely you?"

Yes, in the process of looking for the benefactor, Yang Hongguang slowly grew old, with white hair on his head, everyone called him "Old Yang". He listened to the neighbor's words, said firmly: "I am not afraid, if everyone is afraid of getting into trouble, then my mother would have drowned in the river, now you see, aunt and her family are not cheating me?"

Over the years, Yang's charitable deeds have grown. He has not only visited the elderly in nursing homes every month, but also donated a lot of money to the disaster area and supported poor children. He was determined to keep on doing good, but he was sad that he was getting older and older, almost sixty, and that some of his good deeds could not be done, and that so many years had passed without a trace of his benefactor.

One day because of the cold, Yang Hongguang fell ill. In the hospital, suddenly came a lot of people, and people continue to join, they have neighbors, relatives and friends, but more people do not know.

How did the stranger come? What are they doing here?

When the strangers introduced themselves affectionately, Yang became even more uneasy. It turned out that there were old people in the nursing home, children who had been receiving his financial support, and even TV reporters carrying cameras, all of whom had come to see him.

Yang Hongguang said: "How do you say this? I didn't do anything, I was just trying to make my mother feel better, oh..." Here, Yang red light suddenly thought of his heart since the heart, can not help but sigh.

At this time an old neighbor spoke: "Lao Yang, I know why you sigh, you have sworn in front of your mother, said must find the benefactor, now you are sorry so many years have passed, haven't found the benefactor is it?"

Yang Hongguang listened to the sad, tears, the old neighbor busy said: "Yang, don't cry don't cry, we discuss together today, is to tell you a good news, the benefactor, we help you find!"

Yang Hongguang a surprise, originally lying on the body suddenly sat up, lost voice cried: "Where? Where is the benefactor? Bring me to him!"

Under the camera, the old neighbor took something out of a big bag, it was a big frame with a big picture embedded in it, the old neighbor said: "Look, it's him!"

Yang Hongguang very surprised, excited flushed, at a loss, but a look immediately deflated, the original picture is that has been hanging in his noodle shop for many years. He got a little angry and said, "What is this, old man? It's just a picture."

The old neighbor smiled, everyone also smiled, the old neighbor said: "Yang, we through this photo, finally found him, today we brought the benefactor's latest photo, do you see him?"

The old neighbor said, magic like to take out the second photo, I saw the photo brand new, obviously just shot out, the picture of the person is a nearly sixty old uncle, a gray jacket, gray hair, more importantly, a face of kind eyes, eyebrows long and long. Yang Hongguang looked in surprise and shouted: "Wrong, wrong, this is not a benefactor, this is me!"

Yes, the person in the photo is very similar to the benefactor, but it is not the benefactor, but Yang Hongzhong himself. What the hell is going on?

This time they didn't laugh, but the old neighbor said, "Yang, we took this picture because the benefactor was none other than yourself -- all of us agree that in the long search for the benefactor, you have become him without realizing it!"

Yang Hongguang looked at the two photos, and looked around everyone, see each face is so solemn, so full of deep feeling.

Yang Hongguang suddenly stretched out his hand to cover his face and cried silently, saying: "Mom, Mom, did you hear it in the spirit of heaven? You don't blame me, do you? I have found my benefactor. No, I shall keep looking for it, all my life!"
