我是从2016年7月份开始，直播帮助流浪的人回家的

I started live streaming since July, 2016 to help the homeless find their family

wǒ zǒu guò le jiāng xī hú nán hú běi guǎng dōng

我走过了江西、湖南、湖北、广东

I’ve been to Jiangxi, Hunan, Hubei, Guangdong

福建、浙江、云南、四川等很多地方

Fujian, Zhejiang, Yunnan, Sichuan and many other places

jiù shì tōng guò zhí bō

就是通过直播

In live streaming

lù lù xù xù měi tiān huì yǒu wǎng yǒu

陆陆续续，每天会有网友

Every day there are netizens

biàn bié liú làng zhě tā men jiǎng huà de kǒu yīn

辨别流浪者他们讲话的口音

Identifying where the vagrants come from based on their accents

tā men hái huì qù zhuǎn fā zhào piàn huò zhě lián xì nà biān

他们还会去转发照片，或者联系那边

Netizens also repost pictures or get touch with the hometown

tōng guò zhè yàng de jiē lì bāng zhù tā men huí jiā

通过这样的接力帮助他们回家

To help bring the vagrants home

jié zhǐ dào nián yuè rì wǒ men yī gòng bāng zhù le wèi chéng gōng huí dào le jiā

(截止到2018年10月25日)我们一共帮助了 56 位成功回到了家

(By October 25th, 2018) we have successfully brought 56 homeless people home

yuán xiān wǒ jiù shì bǎi dì tān rán hòu dào chù pǎo

原先我就是摆地摊，然后到处跑

At the beginning I set up a stall on the streets and moved around

zài nián de yuè fèn

在2016年的6月份

In June, 2016

wǒ kàn dào yī gè liú làng zhě dāng shí tā shì méi yǒu chuān xié zi

我看到一个流浪者，当时他是没有穿鞋子

I saw a vagrant with no shoes on

ràng wǒ lián xiǎng dào hěn duō shì qíng

让我联想到很多事情

That reminded me of a lot of things

wǒ yī gè rén dāng shí kū le hěn jiǔ

我一个人当时哭了很久

I cried alone for a long time

yīn wèi wǒ yǐ qián yǒu gè gē gē cóng xiǎo huàn yǒu diān xián

因为我以前有个哥哥，从小患有癫痫

Because I had a brother who was sick with epilepsy since childhood

hòu lái zǒu diū le

后来走丢了

Later he went lost

zhǎo le sān tiān sān yè

找了三天三夜

We searched for 3 days and nights

hòu lái zhǎo dào tā le

后来找到他了

And eventually found him

tā dāng shí jiù bù xíng le guò shì le

他当时就不行了，过世了

He was on the point of death at that time and soon passed away

dāng shí wǒ suì tā suì

当时我 10 岁，他 17 岁

I was 10 and he was 17

suǒ yǐ dāng wǒ kàn dào liú làng de rén de shí hòu

所以当我看到流浪的人的时候

So when I saw homeless people on the streets

wǒ jiù xià dìng jué xīn

我就下定决心

I decided to help them find their family

wǒ yào bāng zhù tā men tuán jù wǒ yào bāng máng tā men huí jiā

我要帮助他们团聚，我要帮忙他们回家

And bring them home

yǒu hěn duō liú làng zhě tā men huì yán zhù guó dào dào chù zǒu

有很多流浪者他们会沿著国道到处走

A lot of tramps just walk around along national highways

jiù shì zài nà gè huāng fèi de dà lóu lǐ miàn qiáo dǐ xià qù zhǎo

就是在那个荒废的大楼里面，桥底下(去找)

I go inside wasted buildings and under bridges (to search for them)

rú guǒ tā tiān tiān zài nà lǐ zhù de huà

如果他天天在那里住的话

If he sleeps there everyday

tā huì yǒu hěn duō xīn xiān de hén jì

他会有很多新鲜的痕迹

He would leave many fresh traces

zhè dōu shì liú làng zhě jiǎn guò lái de xíng lǐ zhè xiē dōng xī

这都是流浪者捡过来的行李，这些东西

These are their luggage, these stuffs

zhè gè bèi zi shàng miàn hěn duō huī chén

这个被子上面很多灰尘

The quilt is covered with dust

yīng gāi yǒu duàn shí jiān méi lái le

应该有段时间没来了

He should have left for quite some time

tā yǒu kě néng yǒu liǎng sān gè lín shí luò jiǎo de diǎn

他有可能有两三个临时落脚的点

He might have 2 or 3 temporary shelters

xià cì wǒ zài jīng guò zhè lǐ de shí hòu

下次我再经过这里的时候

Next time when I pass by here

wǒ zài huì qù kàn kàn

我再会去看看

I’ll go in and check again

nǐ xiǎng bù xiǎng gēn nǐ jiā lǐ dǎ gè diàn huà

“你想不想跟你家里打个电话”

“Do you want to call your family?”

wǒ gēn tā rèn shí yǐ jīng yǒu yī nián duō le

我跟他认识已经有一年多了

I’ve known him for over a year

nǐ xiǎng bù xiǎng gěi nǐ jiě fū dǎ gè diàn huà

“你想不想给你姐夫打个电话”

“Do you want to call your brother in law?”

jīn nián yuè fèn zhōng yú tā jiù shì shuō le jǐ jù huà

今年4月份终于他就是说了几句话

He finally said a few words to me this April

hòu lái gěi wǒ men de wǎng yǒu tīng chū lái tā de kǒu yīn

后来给我们的网友，听出来他的口音

Later netizens recognized his accent

jiù zhǎng wò le tā de xìn xī

就掌握了他的信息

And we got his information

lián xì dào tā de mèi mèi mèi fū tā men

联系到他的妹妹妹夫他们

We contacted his younger sister and brother in law

nà biān jiù shì shuō yào guò lái jiē tā

那边就是说要过来接他

They said they would come and bring him home

wǒ zhè cì guò lái fā xiàn tā hái zài nà biān

我这次过来发现他还在那边

This time I find he’s still there

tā gēn tā mèi fū shì xùn liáo tiān de shí hòu

他跟他妹夫视讯聊天的时候

When he did a video chat with his brother in law

wǒ kàn tā yī zhí zài xiào

我看他一直在笑

I saw him smiling all the time

nǐ gāng cái shuō yào huí jiā shì bù shì

“你刚才说要回家是不是”

“You just said you want to go home, right?”

rú guǒ shuō tā bù yuàn yì huí jiā jiù suàn shì tā jiā lái jiē tā

如果说他不愿意回家，就算是他家来接他

If he’s not willing to go home, even if his family come and pick him up

quàn shuō bù le tā wǒ men yě méi bàn fǎ

劝说不了他，我们也没办法

And they are not able to persuade him, and then we can’t do anything about it

cóng yī kāi bō dào xiàn zài měi tiān dōu yǒu rén zhì yí

从一开播到现在，每天都有人质疑

Since I start live streaming, every day I receive doubts

dàn shì wǒ yī zhí jiān xìn qún zhòng de yǎn jīng shì xuě liàng de

但是我一直坚信群众的眼睛是雪亮的

But I always believe that the masses have sharp eyes

màn màn dì tā men yě rèn kě le wǒ

(慢慢地)他们也认可了我

(Gradually) they recognize me

yī bān qíng kuàng xià tā men dōu shì bù yuàn yì jiāo liú de

一般情况下， 他们都是不愿意交流的

In general the vagrants are not willing to communicate

suǒ yǐ wǒ men wǎng wǎng huì xiān gěi tā fā yān

所以我们往往会先给他发烟

So I would first offer him a cigarette

rán hòu zài wèn yī xià tā yǒu méi yǒu chī fàn zhè xiē

然后再问一下他有没有吃饭，这些

And then ask if he has had the meal, something like this

tā men yě shì hěn yǒu zūn yán de

他们也是很有尊严的

They have dignity too

zhǐ yào tā yuàn yì gēn nǐ liáo

只要他愿意跟你聊

As long as he wants to talk to you

jiù yǒu kě néng néng gòu bāng zhù tā huí jiā

就有可能能够帮助他回家

You have the chance to help him return home

qù nián dà gài zhè gè shí hòu pèng dào yī gè liú làng hàn

去年大概这个时候(碰到一个流浪汉)

Around this time last year (I met a vagrant)

tā dà gài yǒu duō suì le

他大概有 40 多岁了

He was over 40 years old

gāng kāi shǐ tā jiù shì bù zěn me lǐ wǒ

刚开始他就是不怎么理我

At the beginning he didn’t respond to me

měi tiān sòng chī de gěi tā gēn tā jiāo liú

每天送吃的给他，跟他交流

I gave him food and talked to him every day

hòu lái tā jiù gào sù le zhè gè dì zhǐ

后来他就告诉了这个地址

Later he told me the address

wǒ men de wǎng yǒu jiù lián xì shàng tā nà biān le

我们的网友就联系上他那边了

And the netizen got in touch with his family

tā yǒu fù mǔ qī bā shí suì de fù mǔ

他有父母，七八十岁的父母

He had parents of 70 or 80

měi tiān dōu zài wài miàn jiù shì xún zhǎo tā

每天都在外面就是寻找他

They went out to search for him every day

tā dì dì guò lái de nà yī kè tā dì dì kū le

他弟弟过来的那一刻，他弟弟哭了

When his brother came here, he cried

yìng yào guì zài dì shàng gěi wǒ men kē tóu

硬要跪在地上给我们磕头

He insisted on kneeling down to the ground and kowtowing to us

qiān wàn bié bié bié bié

“千万别，别别别”

“No.No.No. Please don’t.”

suī rán liú làng jiā rén yī zhí zài qiān guà de xīn

虽然流浪，家人一直在牵挂的心

Although the vagrants roam the streets, their family worry for them

yǒng yuǎn dōu méi yǒu duàn guò

永远都没有断过

They never stop missing them

hěn duō liú làng zhě tā men dōu kě wàng huí jiā

很多流浪者，他们都渴望回家

A lot of vagrants are eager to go home

zhǐ shì tā men bù zhī dào zěn me huí qù

只是他们不知道怎么回去

They just don’t know how

zěn me qù miàn duì tā men de jiā rén

怎么去面对他们的家人

How to face their family

bù guǎn shì rén shēng lù hái shì xiàn shí de mǎ lù tā men shì wàng le huí jiā de lù

不管是人生路还是现实的马路，他们是忘了回家的路

They forget the way home, either the way of life or the way in reality

yǒu xiē shí hòu xiàng wǒ fā xiàn liú làng zhě

有些时候像我发现流浪者

Sometimes if I find a vagrant

hái méi yǒu zhǎng wò dào xìn xī de shí hòu

还没有掌握到信息的时候

And I haven’t got his information

wǒ yě huì zài tā fù jìn dā gè zhàng péng

我也会，在他附近搭个帐篷

I would put up a tent nearby

nà yàng de huà wǒ men yě kě yǐ guān chá dào tā de dòng xiàng

那样的话我们也可以观察到他的动向

So I can observe his movements

ér qiě zhè yàng hái néng gòu zēng jiā zhè zhǒng xìn rèn de yǒu yì

而且这样还能够增加这种信任的友谊

And establish friendship with him

wǒ zhè cì chū lái shì yǒu yī gè bàn yuè méi huí jiā le

我这次出来是有一个半月没回家了

This time I’ve been out for one and a half month

dà gài hái yào yī liǎng gè yuè de shí jiān

大概还要一两个月的时间

It will be one or two months before I return home

gāng hǎo nà shí hòu xiǎo hái yě chà bù duō fàng hán jiǎ le

刚好那时候小孩也差不多放寒假了

My child would be on winter vacation then

xiàn zài liú làng zhě bǐ yuán xiān shì yuè lái yuè shǎo shǎo le hěn duō

现在流浪者比原先是越来越少，少了很多

Now there are much fewer vagrants than before

suǒ yǐ shuō děng yǐ hòu liú làng zhě shǎo de shí hòu wǒ jiù tuì xiū le

所以说，等以后流浪者少的时候，我就退休了

So I will retire when vagrants are fewer

wǒ jiù zài jiā lǐ le

我就在家里了

I will stay at home then
