"The real story of Bai Fang Li, a rickshaw driver who had a noble heart


The story of Bai Fang Li is expected to be a lesson for us all to help each of our neighbors in need, even-paced life mediocre but still help people without strings attached to it that we can provide. if you believe that blessings come can come from anywhere and we will get a decent reward if we do well with the sincere and honest

Needless touting how much we contribute to people because it is not possible yet commensurate with what has been done by Bai Fang Li. Most of us contribute when it's too much money. But when our lives lack, the desire to contribute almost nothing.
Bai Fang Li differently. He lived as a pedicab driver. Her life was simple because only a pedicab driver. But she has a high spirit. He left early and came home late at night when looking for passengers who are willing to use their services. He lived in a simple hut in Tianjin, China.

He almost never buy food because he gets food by scavenging. Likewise clothes. Are the results of pedaling his pedicab is not enough to buy food and clothing? She earns enough and can actually make a decent living. But he prefers to use the money from the effort to contribute to the orphanage cares for 300 poor children.

Bai Fang Li started to contribute to the foundation when she was 74 years old. At that time he accidentally saw a little boy about 6 years old that offers services to help mothers lifting groceries at the market. After lifting groceries, she paid for the mothers who helped their service.

But make Bai Fang Li wonder, the boy picked up the food in the trash to eat. Although he could buy a decent meal to fill his stomach. When he asked, was the child does not want to interfere with the result of his labors is money to buy food. He used the money to eat her siblings aged 3 and 4 years in a hut in which they lived. They live as scavengers and three parents somewhere.

Bai Fang Li a chance to escort him to his residence. After that he took the three children in an orphanage where there are hundreds of children taken care of. Since then Bai Fang Li followed the way of the child, do not use the money pedaling his pedicab for everyday life but rather donated to the orphanage.

Bai Fang Li started to contribute to the fund in 1986. He never demanded anything from the foundation. He did not know the kids are getting donations from them. In 2001 at the age of 91 years. He came there with difficulty. He told trustees that he was no longer able to pedal a rickshaw as his health deteriorated. Finally he took a donation of 500 yuan, equivalent to USD 675,000.

With the recent donation of money that has been donated a total of 350,000 yuan, equivalent to USD 472.5 million. His son, Bai Jin Feng, just found out that his father has contributed to the foundation. In 2005, Bai Fang Li died after suffering from lung cancer.

Seeing the enthusiasm to contribute, Bai Fang Li was an outstanding person. He lives selflessly to help children who are less fortunate. Although the pedicab driver was professional life (as measured by the distance that has been pursued by pedaling his rickshaw equal to 18 times around the earth) Bai Fang Li has a high concern is incalculable.

  1. You need to check your Conversion to US dollars.
    1 Yuan is about 20 US cents I believe.
    So his 350,000 Yuan would be about 70,000 dollars US.
    I would estimate though that that would have much more like say $200,000 Us in Purchase power in China.
