THE STORY OF BAI!

THE STORY OF BAI!
In 1987, a 74-year old rickshaw puller by the name of Bai Fangli came back to his hometown planning to retire from his backbreaking job. There, he saw children working in the fields, because they were too poor to afford school fees.
Bai returned to Tianjin and went back to work as a
rickshaw puller, taking a modest accommodation next to the railway station. He
waited for clients 24 hours a day, ate simple food and wore discarded
second-hand clothes he found. He gave all of his hard-earned earnings to
support children who could not afford education.
In 2001, he drove his rickshaw to Tianjin Yao Hua Middle
School, to deliver his last installment of money. Nearly 90 years old, he told
the students that he couldn't work any more. All of the students and teachers
were moved to tears.
In total, Bai had donated a total of 350,000 yuan to
help more than 300 poor students continue with their studies. In 2005, Bai
passed away leaving behind an inspiring legacy.
