"How do you want it cut?"Wei Yonghua asked patiently.When Wang Fengying, 76, wanted her hair cut short, Wei pointed to a volunteer at the door. "How about a haircut as short as hers?"

Wang Fengying nodded, and Wei Yonghua picked up the electric scissors and comb. Fingers flew up and down, the cut hair falling down. "Hmm, that's pretty."Wei Yonghua straightened Wang Fengying's head and, smiling, picked up the brush to clean the broken hair from her neck.

Hearing this, Wang Fengying also laughed and said, "You are so old that you are not so beautiful."That being said, she praised the craftsmanship of Master Wei repeatedly, "He cut his hair quickly and well."

During the haircut, Wei Yonghua only walked around the chair in a small area, the inconvenience of the legs and feet can be seen."I've had polio in this leg since I was four or five months old."Wei Yonghua has a third-degree disability in his legs and can only stand for long periods of time while having his hair cut.Almost everyone of the 67 patients in the hospital has a haircut every month. According to the average of 3 minutes per person, it takes more than three hours to finish all the hair uninterrupted.

"When I first came, there were more than 80 people in the courtyard, and it took at least five or six hours."Wei Yonghua still remembers that he was not used to it at first. After standing for five or six hours, his back couldn't straighten up. "When I came back home, my feet were swollen and I didn't want to do anything but lie down and sleep.
