“一車蘋果，兩座城，千里善意，雙向奔赴。”近日，湖北群眾自發(fā)購買陜西商販蘋果的故事感動全網(wǎng)。

"A truckload of apples, two cities, kindness spanning a thousand miles, and a heartfelt mutual dedication." The story of good Samaritans in Hubei province voluntarily buying apples from a fruit vendor from Shaanxi province has recently touched countless netizens across the internet.

今年五一期間，陜西漢中洋縣44歲男子吉耀仲拉了滿滿一車8000余斤蘋果來湖北恩施州咸豐縣售賣。

During this year's May Day holiday, Ji Yaozhong, a 44-year-old man from Yangxian county in Shaanxi, drove to Xianfeng county in Hubei with a truck fully loaded with over 4,000 kilograms of apples for sale.

高速上，他突然右手無力、言語不暢，不久后身體狀況緩解。然而5月2日抵達咸豐后，他病情復(fù)發(fā)且加重，前往咸豐縣中醫(yī)醫(yī)院急診科檢查，被確診為腦梗。

While on the highway, he suddenly felt weakness in his right hand and had difficulty speaking. Though his condition eased slightly soon after, his illness relapsed and worsened upon arriving in Xianfeng on May 2. He went to the emergency room at Xianfeng County Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine and was diagnosed with cerebral infarction.

醫(yī)生強烈建議其住院，可他惦記著一車蘋果，遲遲不愿入院。當天23時許，經(jīng)家人反復(fù)勸說，他才辦理住院手續(xù)。經(jīng)醫(yī)院全力搶救后，他轉(zhuǎn)危為安。

Doctors strongly advised him to stay at the hospital, yet he hesitated to admit himself, preoccupied with his truckload of unsold apples. It was not until around 11 pm that day, after repeated pleas from his family, that he checked himself into the hospital. Thanks to all-out emergency treatment by the hospital, Ji was out of danger.

5月3日，妻子梁麗麗趕到咸豐，但她不會開車，還需要寸步不離地照看丈夫，這一車蘋果陷入了無人售賣的困境。眼看著天氣越來越熱，再這么放下去，蘋果就要變質(zhì)，對這個遭遇病痛的家庭，無疑是雪上加霜。

On Sunday, his wife Liang Lili rushed to Xianfeng. Unable to drive and needing to look after her husband around the clock, she was left with no one to sell the apples. As the weather grew increasingly hot, the apples would soon go bad if left unsold, dealing an additional blow to the family.

蘋果裝在車里，氣溫一高，肯定就壞得快。我們職工有幾百人，一個人買幾斤，也可以給他們減少很多損失。醫(yī)院總務(wù)科工作人員焦永高看到了這一幕，萌生了這個想法，得到院領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的大力支持。

Worried about the couple's precarious situation, Jiao Yonggao, a staff member from the general services section of the hospital, came up with the idea of having everyone buy a few kilograms of apples before they spoiled in the truck.

醫(yī)院迅速行動，5月4日14:30，醫(yī)院宣傳科向全院職工發(fā)出自愿購買倡議：“患者隨車有8000余斤蘋果，原計劃拖到咸豐售賣，如今因病無法自行售賣”，“請大家本著自愿原則購買，幫這位外地患者減少經(jīng)濟損失、渡過難關(guān)”……倡議書一經(jīng)發(fā)出，瞬間在醫(yī)院內(nèi)部、朋友圈刷屏，一場愛心接力迅速在咸豐全城鋪開。

The hospital acted promptly. At 2:30 pm on Monday, the publicity department of the hospital issued a voluntary purchase initiative to all staff: "We invite all staff to buy apples on a voluntary basis, helping this out-of-town patient reduce his economic losses and get through this difficult time..."

As soon as the initiative was released, it quickly went viral among hospital staff and on WeChat Moments. A heartwarming relay of kindness soon spread across the entire city of Xianfeng.

醫(yī)院后勤人員主動幫忙，將載滿蘋果的貨車開到醫(yī)院大門口，搭建起臨時愛心售賣點，全程協(xié)助搬運、售賣；醫(yī)院職工紛紛響應(yīng)，你一箱、我一袋，自發(fā)來到售賣點，按照5元/斤的定價自行稱重、主動付錢，用實際行動伸出援手。

Hospital logistics staff took the initiative to drive the apple-laden truck to the hospital gate and set up a temporary charity sales booth. Hospital employees responded enthusiastically, coming to the booth one after another — some buying a whole box, others a bag each. They weighed the apples themselves at the set price of 10 yuan ($1.47) per kg and paid voluntarily.

消息傳開后，咸豐縣的志愿者協(xié)會、外賣小哥團隊等社會愛心人士也主動加入購買隊伍，不僅自己掏錢購買，還積極轉(zhuǎn)發(fā)朋友圈擴散消息。市民們紛紛趕來，有人批量購買，有人主動幫忙搬運、吆喝。不少人看到消息后提前預(yù)訂，凌晨仍有愛心人士前來購買，即使是品相稍差的蘋果，也瞬間被“搶購一空”。5月5日9時許，8000余斤蘋果全部賣完，共計收入34000多元。

As the news spread, charitable groups in Xianfeng, including volunteer associations and food delivery rider teams, also joined the buying effort. They not only purchased apples themselves but also shared the news on their social media feeds. Local citizens flocked to the scene; some bought in bulk, while others volunteered to carry goods and help promote the sale. Many reserved apples in advance after seeing the news, and some kind-hearted residents came to buy them in the early hours of the following morning. Even apples of slightly lower quality were sold out in no time. By around 9 am on Tuesday, all of the apples had been sold, generating over 34,000 yuan in revenue.

“如果沒有咸豐中醫(yī)院以及那么多熱心市民幫忙售賣，我至少要損失好幾萬元。”吉耀仲感動地說。

"I would have lost at least tens of thousands of yuan without the help of the hospital and so many warm-hearted local residents," said Ji.

妻子梁麗麗感動地說：“咸豐人實在是太有愛心了，好多人都來幫忙。”她回憶，有人幫忙抬東西、搭臺子賣蘋果，有外賣小哥免費給客戶送蘋果，工作人員也一直在召集人來買?！昂芨屑は特S的所有人在我最困難的時候?qū)ξ业膸椭椭С帧！?/p>

His wife Liang said, "The people of Xianfeng are incredibly kind-hearted, and so many came to give us a hand." She added that many people helped carry goods and set up the sales stall, some food delivery riders delivered purchased apples to customers free of charge, and hospital staff kept encouraging more people to buy. "I am deeply grateful to everyone in Xianfeng for their help and support when we were at our most difficult moment."

5月6日，陜西洋縣在網(wǎng)上公開發(fā)布致湖北恩施的一封信。信中提到，為回饋咸豐人民的深情厚誼，深化兩地人文交流，自2026年5月7日起，洋縣所有收費景區(qū)面向湖北省恩施州市民實行一年內(nèi)免門票政策。

On Wednesday, Yangxian county released an open letter to Enshi Tujia and Miao autonomous prefecture, which administers Xianfeng. To repay the friendship of the people of Xianfeng and deepen the relationship between the two places, the letter announced that all scenic spots in Yangxian would offer one-year free entry to residents of Enshi, starting from Thursday.

接到隔空喊話后，5月7日一早，湖北咸豐迅速回應(yīng)：咸豐縣所有收費景區(qū)自2026年5月7日起，面向陜西省漢中市洋縣居民實行一年免門票政策。

Responding to this gesture, Xianfeng made a reciprocal announcement early on Thursday, matching the free scenic spot admission gift.

5月7日晚，這份溫情再度升級。恩施文旅公眾號發(fā)布消息，恩施州向整個陜西省漢中市（包括漢臺區(qū)、南鄭區(qū)、城固縣、洋縣、西鄉(xiāng)縣、勉縣、寧強縣、略陽縣、鎮(zhèn)巴縣、留壩縣、佛坪縣）推出文旅優(yōu)惠政策。

The warmth grew even stronger on the evening of Thursday. The official WeChat account of Enshi Culture and Tourism released a notice that Enshi prefecture would launch a cultural and tourism preferential policy covering the entire city of Hanzhong, which administers Yangxian county.

8日上午，漢中文旅也迅速作出回應(yīng)，面向湖北恩施州（包括恩施市、利川市、巴東縣、建始縣、咸豐縣、來鳳縣、宣恩縣、鶴峰縣）推出相應(yīng)的文旅優(yōu)惠政策。

On the morning of Friday, Hanzhong Culture and Tourism authorities rolled out preferential policies for Enshi prefecture.

有網(wǎng)友評論道：“一車蘋果，兩座城，千里善意，雙向奔赴。你幫我渡過難關(guān)，我邀你免票暢游。這就是中國人骨子里的善良：不說漂亮話，只做實在事。為愛點贊，為兩地人民鼓掌！”

買的是蘋果，傳遞的是對陌生人的一份愛心。原來，人情并未走遠，善良一直都在。為這份平凡的感動點贊！
