Question

It has taken him about twenty years to recycle (回收)rubbish, but at last Wu Zheng bought his wife a piano.

“It was not just an instrument, but the love from my husband,” said his wife, Xie Guizhi. “I clean the piano every day and don’t allow other people to touch it,”said Xie, 58, a retired worker in Luoyang ,Henan Province.

Wu, 68, said he made up of his mind to buy his wife a piano long ago, even though their life was poor. “My wife enjoys music and love piano vey much,” Wu said. “I dreamed of buying her a piano as early as 38 years ago when we fell in love with each other.”

Yet the cost of the piano――22,550 yuan($3,500)―― was too much for the family. To make more money to support the family, Wu decided to pick up recyclable waste after work in the early 1990s. “ I felt like I was doing some wrong things when I started to look for recyclable waste in the street,” he said. “The most worrying thing for me was meeting my colleagues.”

By collecting all kinds of wastes, Wu could get about 4,000 yuan per year and save about 1,000 of that. But he had to travel around the city twice every day for more than 10 kilometres.

“I really appreciate that my husband has done so much for me,” Xie said happily.
