after this scene was posted online, it touched countless people's tears. while people lamented the girl's gratitude, they were even more moved by the ragged donor.

some netizens commented:i am three and a half feet taller than my husband, and he is one kunlun taller than me.

subsequently, the donor's information was dug up, and netizens found that the more they learned about him, the more they admired him. it turned out that donating girls to study was just one of his many good deeds.

in the past ten years, he has relied on his hands and a pair of completely inflexible legs to scavenge and set up street stalls. in addition to using his income to make ends meet, the rest has been used for charity, with a cumulative donation of more than 1 million.

the disabled donor’s name is hu lei, and people’s daily called him a “kneeling giant.”

hu lei was born in an ordinary family in ningxia in 1993. although his family background was average, his grandparents and parents gave him enough warmth and love. compared with his peers, hu lei was also happy.

but this happiness was too short-lived.

when hu lei was one and a half years old, his father died in an accident. a year later, his mother abandoned hu lei and left for a foreign country. from then on, he and his elderly grandparents depended on each other.

but the blow of fate was not over. when he was six years old, hu lei suffered from a high fever. his life was saved, but he contracted polio. not only was his speech ability affected, but his legs were also disabled.

the once happy family of five was torn to pieces by illness and accidents. fortunately, the grandparents did not dislike hu lei and held him in their hands and loved him.

during this period, hu lei discovered that his grandfather often helped homeless people. their lives were not what they wanted, but his grandfather insisted on doing good deeds. hu lei asked why, and his grandfather said: "your grandma and i do more good deeds. if we are no longer here in the future, someone will come." help you!”

hu lei suddenly realized that his grandparents were accumulating blessings for him. later, his grandfather also passed away. his grandmother, who was nearly 70 years old, was unable to raise hu lei and could only send him to a welfare home.

however, despite his physical inconvenience, hu lei did not want to be a burden to others and decided to be self-reliant.

when he was 8 years old, hu lei started picking up garbage. he crawled 5 kilometers into the city every day. at sunset, he returned to his residence with empty water bottles, wine bottles, paper shells and other waste products. at the end of the day, his whole body ached and his hands were scratched. hu lei never complained.

in addition to picking up scraps, the motivated hu lei also used his free time to learn to make some small handicrafts and sell them on the street at night. because of his special situation, there were always many customers around the stall.

life was hard and it was not easy to make a living, but hu lei didn't feel it was hard. during this period, there were some kind people who often gave him some clothes, food, and money.

the help from strangers made the teenage hu lei feel the warmth of society, and a seed of kindness was planted in his heart, which paved the way for him to embark on the road of charity in the future.

hu lei really started helping others in the winter of 2008.

that day, under the cold bridge tunnel, hu lei met a homeless man without clothes and shoes. seeing the homeless man shivering from the cold, hu lei, who was only 15 years old, suddenly burst into tears. he seemed to have seen another version of himself. .

despite living in the mud, hu lei still chose to give his food and clothes to each other. the grateful look from the homeless man touched hu lei, and he thought: "help as many people as possible!"

after that, he helped some homeless people one after another, giving them clothes, quilts, and food. he also paid attention to the left-behind children and lonely elderly people in the village, and used the money he earned from scavenging and setting up stalls to buy them some daily necessities and school supplies. .

hu lei's tragic life experience not only did not make him give up on himself, but instead made him grow into a self-sufficient and socially responsible person. he composed a hymn of love with his actions.

after the road to public welfare kicked off, hu lei felt a sense of mission in his heart. in addition to helping people in trouble, he would also contribute every time the country was in trouble.

in 2010, there was an earthquake in yushu, qinghai province. after learning the news, hu lei donated 100 yuan to the disaster area through the red cross. the amount was not large, but hu lei faced the cold wind, turned through many trash cans, and picked up hundreds or even more income from a thousand empty bottles.

there were sharp objects in some trash cans. hu lei's fingers were scratched more than once, but he never said it hurt. thinking that there were so many people in need of help, he had inexhaustible strength.

in july 2021, a severe rainstorm occurred in xinxiang, henan, and nearly one million compatriots were affected. hu lei once again extended a helping hand. he purchased more than 20,000 yuan in supplies and personally sent them to the disaster area.

when he arrived at the aid station, the volunteers thought he was here to beg, but when they learned that he was here to donate supplies, people present looked at him with admiration.

hu lei personally delivered the supplies to the local people. while thanking them, people couldn't help but ask: "why do we need to donate supplies when we have to make a living by scavenging?"

hu lei, who was kneeling on the ground, clasped his hands together, replied: "when the country and people are in trouble, we all have a responsibility!"

a simple answer is awe-inspiring.
