An touching story from CCTV

A SPECIAL LOVE FOR A SPECIAL YOU

Bai Fang Li, died 93 years old, lived in poverty. Yet, he donated an aggregate sum of RMB 350,000 to universities and schools in Tianjin to help 300 poor children in need. For almost twenty years, he paddled his tricycle earning Yuan by Yuan to save up for his donations. His lunch was two buns and plain water. Luxury to him was the sauce he put into the water. Dinner was a piece of meat or an egg. What he wore was what he picked from the dump. Any extra piece was luxury.
