The Tale of Bai Fang Li

Hi, so for today's post is about a very (10X) inspiring and touching story..

Ever heard of the name "Bai Fang Li" before? No? Well, you should! Its actually an old story from China, but for anyone who haven't hear about thins story, well, today is the day where you will remember the name forever!!! :) Not only that, considering the solidarity on this nation has been reducing recently, so I want you all to know about this very old story.. (True story).

If rich people gives away their treasures and money, I personally won't call that as a miracle. But poor people that gives away their treasures and moneys?? Now that's what I considered  as a miracle. Bai Fang Li, was pedicab driver who gives away his money for the orphans..

Bai Fang Li was a pedicab driver. Since you haven't notice, a pedicab driver's payment is very low. He spent his entire life serving customers and serving God. He always take wherever the customer ask, pedaling his pedicab everyday to earn money. He always serve with a smile, never puts on a sad face, trying to enjoy what's he's doing, loving his job right now, although its a simple and tiring job.

His body is not strong, he's powerful, in fact, he rather have a small body for a pedicab driver... But he have a strong will, taking his job seriously and never gives up.Starts from 6 am for talking to God, continues his work till + 8 o'clock. A very hard worker, isn't he? Customers loves him (not in a serious way) because of his attitude; Polite, nice, and he never ask his customers how much money they should pay. Every time a customer ask, "How much?" he always answers them politely, "Depends on you" but it was actually because of his gentleness and his politeness his customers pays him more. Maybe they felt sorry for him because of his small body and his hard work droving his pedicab around, so they gives him an extra tip.

Once, while he was still resting after taking a customer to a market, he saw a small little boy, around 6 years old, offering his service to help other people with their groceries.He's very small, but enjoying what's his doing. For several times he watched that little boy offers himself to others, and kept on putting that smiley face.

Funny, every times that little boy gets a money, he just saved it in his pocket and picks up a dirty bread from a garbage can and eats it, enjoying it like it was a food from Heaven. Ba Fang Li wondered why didn't the boy just spend his money to buy foods, so he approaches to the boy and shares his meal with him. "The money I earn is for my brother and sisters. My parents are scavengers, but they didn't returned home since a couples of months ago. So I have to earn money for me and my brothers-sisters alone".

Bai Fang Li touched, so he took the boy and his sisters to the orphanage and he promises that he will visit to the orphanage everyday for the rest of his life and donate some moneys that he had earned. He worked twice as hard as usual and donate more money for his little friends at the orphanage. But he felt so happy doing it, although it takes sacrifice.

Bai Fang Li drove his pedicab for 365 days per year, ignoring about his body's condition and the weather that changes every day. "I'm fine suffering like this, I don't want to see anymore children suffering on the streets begging for money, they deserve more. They deserve to go to school and have a better life. Anyway, I'm enjoying this..." he answers every time people asks him why is he doing this.

At the age of 90, he donate his very last money in his earnings. About RMB 500 and said, "My age is 90. I cannot be a pedicab driver anymore. I can't paddle my pedicab anymore. This maybe my last donation" Bai Fang Li died in the age of 93, and the total of his donations were RMB 350.000 to save around 300 kids in the Tianjin school... I know, a very touching story, isn't it ??
