He used to be the boss of a decoration company and later became a street friend. in the face of the ups and downs of life, he was not knocked down. Now he has become the boss ─ passerby coffee, a cup of 50 yuan hand-brewed coffee personally delivered to the guests, he has to stand up again on his own.

Both parents died and started from scratch, but they were overturned in debt and their wives and children left.

Huang Ziyun, 65, with dark skin with wrinkles, seems to be full of vicissitudes of life. He had a good family when he was a child, but later his parents died and got into trouble, and he supported himself by working as an apprentice carpenter. I never get tired when I go to work every day. In my twenties, I opened a decoration company. My wife gave birth to three children, and the family of five lived a happy life.

I thought life would go well, but it's always hard to get what I want. It was maliciously bankrupt by the manufacturer, which led to the closure of the company. in the end, even the house was auctioned by the law, and the wife left with her young children. Alone, he can only wander the streets and "do where there is work." fortunately, he still has carpentry expertise and is good at repairing monuments. He almost runs through Taiwan to support himself.

I can't lift my hand... I can only sleep in the park if I lose my job.

But ten years ago, I hurt my spine due to a fall. I was still young and didn't feel anything, so I didn't care. However, when I followed the class to Xinbei Deep Pit for repairs, the old disease relapsed and my hands were ready to lift the wooden door. "No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't lift it." I was surprised to find that something was wrong with my body, and there was no job to make a living.

After not working as a carpenter, Huang Ziyun went to Wanhua in Taipei with friends to set up a stall to sell mobile phones. But at that time, his day and night were upside down, and his daily routine was not normal. "he had no money and no health insurance, and his health went from bad to worse." Not long after the mobile stalls were driven away, they could only go to Taoyuan to do business, but business was even more difficult. They could not make ends meet. They often had to live in parks and Internet cafes, and their health was getting worse and worse.

The professor helped raise money for the birth of "passerby" coffee.

Huang Ziyun, who was weak and wandering in the streets, was discovered by the social worker of the Taoyuan Social Bureau and referred to the Taoyuan Office of the Mangcaoxin Charity Association in Taiwan. He began to sell newspapers on the street, and every morning he got up to the railway station to sell a 10-yuan newspaper.

Liu Yilong, a professor at Fu Jen University, found that Huang Ziyun had a strong willingness to work and decided to help him raise money to start a business in a "wandering life experience camp" organized by the Mangcaoxin Charity Association. "passerby Coffee" was born.

Therefore, it is called "pedestrian" because the street traveler is the street walker in the city, which is no different from ordinary pedestrians, so he replaces the street traveler or vagrant with "pedestrian".

The spine oppresses the lower body of the nerve "hot while cold"

Huang Ziyun's passerby coffee opened more than two years ago. It was first sold at a fixed point in the association, supported activities from time to time, and was often invited to set up a stall at the company's shop. "sometimes 100 cups a day is not enough to sell." But the body is becoming more and more difficult to bear, and the spine oppresses the nerves, causing the lower body to be "hot while cold", making it inconvenient to walk on two crutches.

"there's really no way to put it off until the end," says Huang Ziyun. At the beginning of this year, she went to Chang Gung Memorial Hospital for surgery. After three operations and recuperation, she finally returned to life in July, and the mobile coffee car reopened.

Don't miss the Taoyuan people after the operation.

Huang Ziyun made 50 yuan for a cup of coffee and set up a stall in the corner of the B1 food court of the General Economic Hospital of Minsheng Hospital in Taoyuan. Although business was not as good as expected, he said that there were so many expensive people to help along the way and would not give up easily. The income of each cup of coffee will be saved, hoping that one day there will be a fixed storefront.

He said that if there are hard-working people who want to learn to go hand-in-hand, he will share generously, and if there is a need for equipment, he will try his best to help, "work hard to turn your life together."
