And he will end his hard work after eight o'clock at night.
The customers really liked Bai Fang Li, because he personally friendly and never cracked a smile on his face. And he never set how many people had to pay for his services. However, because of the goodness of his heart, a lot of people who use the services pay more. Probably because they do not have the heart, to see how even relatively small body frail with breath that is struggling (especially when the road began to climb) and sweat pouring tried pedaling his rickshaw.
Bai Fang Li lived in a rickety shack that barely was about to collapse, in areas classified as slums, along with many rickshaw drivers, vendors hawkers and other scavengers. Hut even then not belong to him, because he was hired on a daily basis. Supplies in the hut was very simple. There is only an old mat had been torn corner-corner, where he used to lie down all day penatnya after pedaling rickshaws.
The shack was only one small space where Bai Fang Li ordinary lay down to rest, in the room he began receiving guests who need his help, in that space there is also a box of cardboard that contains some old clothes in his possession and a thin blanket of parents who have patched -tambal. There is a cute zinc plate that may be taken from a dumpster where he used to eat, there is a place to drink from cans. In a corner of the room hung a kerosene oil lamp, lamp commonly lit to illuminate the darkness in the old hut when the night was late.

Of the income earned during a day of pedaling his pedicab, in fact he was able to get decent food and drink for himself and buy clothes that are good enough to replace his old clothes and shoes are just a pair of his worn already unfit for torn. But he did not do it, because all the money from his income donated to a foundation the usual simple and sympathize care of about 300 children orphaned poor in Tianjin.

His heart was deeply touched when a when he was rested after dropping a customer. He watched a skinny boy about 6 years old who were offering services for lifting a new mother shopped. Small body seemed to stagger mengendong heavy burden on his shoulders, but continues in the spirit of doing his job. And with the excitement that very clearly etched on his face, he welcomed the wages some coins given by the mother, and with her face to the sky boy was humming, maybe he gave thanks to God for the sustenance gained that day.
Several times he noticed the little boy to help mothers who shop, and receive the reward coins. Then he saw the boy went into the trash, scavenging garbage and found a piece of bread a little dirty, he wash the muck, and put the bread into his mouth, as if it enjoyed with delicious food from heaven.
Liver Bai Fang Li choked saw it, he approached the boy, and share the food with the boy. He wondered why the boy did not buy food for himself, but he earned enough money, and will not run if only to just buy a simple meal.
"The money I can to eat my brothers ....," The boy replied.
"Your parents where ...?" Asked Bai Fang Li.
"I do not know ...., My mother's father scavengers .... But since last month after they went scavenging, they never go home again. I had to work to find food for me and my two brothers are still small ..., "the child replied.
Bai Fang Li asked the boy drove her two younger looking boy named Wang Ming's. Liver Bai Fang Li increasingly groan see the two younger Wang Fing, two skinny girls aged 5 years and 4 years. Both girls seem sad, emaciated, dirty with clothes in tatters.
Bai Fang Li is not to blame if the neighbor's three children were not overly concerned with the situation and circumstances of the three small children were helpless, because they are so wrapped up in abject poverty, let alone to take care of others, to care for themselves and their families alone their difficulties.
Bai Fang Li then took all three children to the Foundation are amazingly accommodating poor orphans in Tianjin.

And all the cash income after the deduction of the rental hut and bought two pieces of raisin pie for lunch and a small piece of meat and an egg for dinner, all he donated to the Foundation orphans. To his friends in need.
She was very happy at all to do all that, amid simplicity and its own limitations. An incredible luxury when he was lucky to get ragged clothes were still good enough to be worn in landfills. Just need a little stitch that tergoyak with different fabric colors. Mhmm ... but still pretty good ... she muttered happy.

"There is nothing I suffer, which is important let poor children it can be a decent meal and can go to school. And I'm happy to do all of this ..., "he said when people ask him why he was willing to sacrifice so great for others without caring about himself.
