Top News·Henan Business Daily Reporter Zhang Zhizhong Correspondent Jiang Bo
At around 3 pm on October 29, Luo Qiuyuan, as usual, put the book he was reading on the desk, carrying a bag of cat food and a bag of dog food, and went to 8 feeding points near Nanyang Normal University and Nanyang Medical College to feed food to stray cats and dogs who were hiding near campus. Luo Qiuyuan is a member of Henan Writers Association and a member of Henan Prose Society. From August 26, 2017 to the present, in her love journey of caring for stray animals and rescuing stray cats and dogs, she has written more than 3 million words of essay diary in succession, describing her careful care and rescue stories for stray animals. Among them, she has published more than 40 literary works such as prose and essays on rescuing stray animals in various publications.
On the afternoon of October 29, the top news·Henan Business Daily reporter came to these 8 feeding sites one after another to feed stray cats and dogs. During this period, she talked to the reporter about her original intention of rescuing stray animals: "I didn't like pets like cats and dogs before. In 1997, my relative gave me a Beijing dog named "Jingjing". I spent 9 years with our family and died in 2006. For this reason, I have been in pain for many years and have never wanted to raise dogs and cats anymore. I don't want to bear the sadness and helplessness of the final parting. But "Jingjing's obedience and intelligence will be unforgettable for me and I like it. After getting into these loyal and docile little animals, I have psychological and emotional pity and closeness to these little animals. I wrote this experience into my collection of essays "Spring Flowers and Autumn Moons", which can be regarded as a memory of 'Jingjing'!"
finished feeding, and the reporter came to her home in the family area of Nanyang Normal University. As soon as I entered the house, five cats of different colors came to the door together and wagged their tails to stare at her. "They are welcoming me home. These five cats used to be stray cats, and now they are happy domestic cats that are caring for." She told reporters, "In July 2015, by chance, my daughter took back a little stray cat from the carport in the yard. The docile and cuteness of the kitten aroused my love and compassion, and I adopted it."
Since adopting this first stray cat, Luo Qiuyuan started a love journey to rescue stray animals and care for stray cats and dogs. Her literary creation has also become a bit more tender and kind. In her collection of poems and essays "Spring Flowers and Autumn Moons", published in 2017, it contains 11 essays about helping and caring for stray animals created between 2015 and 2016. She expresses the love of these little animals with delicate and emotional brushstrokes and simple and touching language.
Since August 26, 2017, she has begun to write an essay diary every day, recording what she saw, heard, thought and realized in the process of rescuing and caring for stray animals that day in simple and casual language. It can be as short as hundreds of words and thousands of them as long as they grow. It persists every day, and it will continue to storm. "So far, I have successfully rescued more than 150 cats and more than 90 dogs. At most, 14 feeding points were set up around the campus of Nanyang Normal University and Nanyang Medical College." She told reporters, "Because I have an indescribable sense of closeness to words, I want to describe my life experiences through words, which can be regarded as accumulating materials for my next literary creation. I have a rough count and wrote an essay diary of more than 3 million words in 5 years."
Before retirement, Luo Qiuyuan was a librarian at Nanyang Economic and Trade School . In her daily work, she not only organized the books in an orderly manner, but also did not forget to read every book she touched. Some were roughly read and some were savored. Reading became an indispensable part of her life and work. Years of reading accumulation have laid a solid literary foundation for her and shaped her literary literacy that is open to all rivers.
She regards rescuing and feeding stray cats and dogs as a living habit. In her electric car basket, she stores cat food, dog food, water bottles, gloves, bags, ropes and other rescue tools at any time, and there is food for feeding cats and dogs in her bag.In April 2022, under the leadership of her active participation in the organization, the Nanyang Stray Animal Protection Volunteer Association was approved and established by the Nanyang Civil Affairs Bureau, becoming the first municipal-level stray animal specialized protection institution in Henan Province.
In the interview, she told reporters: "In the future, I will continue to rescue stray cats and dogs, and will continue my literary creation. I plan to write some sincere and touching essays based on this more than 3 million words of material, and then organize them into a collection of essays. As much as possible, this collection of essays will be built into China's first special group reflecting stray animal protectors, which are the first special group to reflect stray animal protectors as a center. ”
Vice Chairman of Henan Writers Association, Director of the Chinese Prose Society, Vice President of Henan Prose Society, and famous writer Liao Huage . After learning about Luo Qiuyuan’s creative experience and reading in detail her works on rescuing stray animals, he wrote the article “Autumn makes me admire”. In this article, Liao Huage wrote: "In this cold world, from plants to animals, there are some lives facing death every day. If we can use our all-out efforts to pull those lives that are in danger back from the brink of death and make them reborn under our careful care, what a great merit. Qiu She does all this in daily life and quietly, specific, hard, tired, happy, but never loses deep and distant... However, Qiu never thought she had done anything. She had greater and longer ideas and plans for helping animals. She said that only when life and life are close and pity, love each other, and keep warm, can the world be warm with sunshine and blooming flowers appear. I told Qiu to Qiu that she would have a warm presentation of sunshine and flowers. , write it, just write it like this, and write whatever you think and do. If you sort it out in the future, it will be a unique and unique work! Because as far as I know, there are many people who are helping, but most of them are not good at writing, and writers do not have the time to do it in practice like Qiu. Qiu accidentally accomplished both, and did a big thing for literature. For this reason, I am waiting, waiting in my dreams, and sincerely believe that this book I am looking forward to is getting closer and closer to me with richer content and more touching details..."
