He Yonglong stayed in bed and stared at the ceilings when he first lived in the Nursing Center.
“My lower body lost consciouness, the two legs dried up and I am a useless.” He Yonglong said.
“You stay in bed all day in a daze. If you had something to do, you would be enrich in living and have a source of income.” An Minglan and Wang Jinxia, nursing worker who care for He Yonglong in the Nursing Center found that he was alone, they wanted to pull him out of his world by doing handcrafts. At that time, Wang Jinxia was embroidering the cross-stitch. “Don’t you like smoking? You might as well make more money depend on your fingers.”
After being stimulated, He Yonglong started to embroider and finished his first product in size of a handkerchief marked “Five Blessings” with hands-on training by Wang Jinxia. An Minglan framed the painting in the shop.
