大学生考取电工证，回村干了件“大事”

这个暑假，黄志强做得最多的一件事，就是帮村里的老人们修理家用电器。

蹲在村民家的门槛边，他拆开一台老电风扇的电机外壳，接线、缠胶布、安装……动作娴熟利落，扇叶应声转动。

Huang Zhiqiang crouched by the doorstep of a villager's home, his hands busy repairing an old electric fan. With practiced ease, he removed the motor casing, reconnected the wires, wrapped them in tape and reassembled the unit. The blades began to spin.

一旁的大妈先是一愣，随即笑逐颜开：“这风扇停了快一个夏天，你一来就给修好了！”黄志强收好螺丝刀，嘴角也漾起笑意。

The elderly woman standing beside him blinked in surprise, then broke into a broad smile. "This fan hasn't worked for most of the summer," she said. "And you fixed it in no time!"

Huang packed his screwdriver back into his toolbox, a smile spreading across his own face. Helping elderly residents in his village repair household appliances had become his main activity this summer.

黄志强是江西工业工程职业技术学院电气自动化专业的一名学生，今年五月刚考下电工证。放暑假回到家乡江西乐安鳌溪镇潭港村，他琢磨着，能不能趁假期，用自己学的这门手艺帮村里老人做点什么。

Currently studying electrical automation at Jiangxi Vocational College of Industry and Engineering in Pingxiang, Jiangxi province, Huang obtained an electrician's certificate in May. When he returned to his hometown of Tangang village in Le'an county, Jiangxi, for the summer break, he began thinking about how he could put his skills to use helping elderly residents in the village.

电灯泡不亮、电风扇不转、热水器不加热、电饭煲煮不了饭……一件件出故障的老旧家电堆在他面前。

老人们不舍得扔，他就想办法修：接线、换电容、排查老化点……能修好的都要尽力修好。

“对我来说，很多是顺手就能解决的问题；对村民来说，却是困扰许久的麻烦。”黄志强说。

毕竟，闷热的夏日电扇转不转、热水器能不能用，对于老人们来说都是“大事”。

"For me, many of these are minor issues that I can fix quickly; for the villagers, they're problems that have been bothering them for a long time," he said. After all, a working fan or water heater can make a big difference to elderly residents on sweltering summer days.

为了帮助更多人，黄志强从潭港村出发，沿着附近村子挨个跑，修完一家又赶去下一家，一分钱都不收。

村民过意不去，给他钱他又不要，就端水、切西瓜。

黄志强说，自己从小家庭条件不好，这些年国家的资助政策帮了他很多，他一直记在心里，总想着有朝一日能用自己的方式回馈社会。

Huang's family background has also shaped his outlook. "I grew up in a family with limited financial means, and government financial assistance has helped me a great deal over the years. I've always kept that in mind and wanted to give back to society in my own way," he said.

这个暑假，他给自己定了一个计划：从家乡乐安出发，沿着国道一路向西，边走边修，一直修到学校所在地萍乡，能帮多少人就帮多少人。

This summer, he set himself a goal: starting from his hometown of Le'an, he plans to travel west along the national highway toward Pingxiang, where his school is located, repairing household appliances for people along the way and helping as many people as he can.

一件件老旧家电在他手里重新转起来、亮起来、热起来，黄志强就这样开着车、载着工具箱，一路向前。

黄志强点亮的不止一盏灯，还有乡亲们的心。为他点赞！
