In the past two years, a group of caring people who are enthusiastic about Project Hope have emerged in our city, and Mr. Liu is one of them. Cui Zhikui, director of the Municipal Hope Project Office, recalled the first time that Teacher Liu came to donate money: "On April 15, 2004, Teacher Liu first appeared in the Hope Project Office of the Communist Youth League Committee and donated 2,000 yuan to help poor children go to school. He is about 30 years old, with simple clothes, kind attitude and few words. When we asked his name and address, he smiled and declined, leaving only Mr. Liu's name. "
Recommended by the Communist Youth League Committee, Song Jiayi of Huang Qi Town Central Primary School in Fengning became the first child sponsored by Teacher Liu.
Since then, Mr. Liu has donated 65,438+03 yuan: 23,000 yuan in 2004, 24,000 yuan in 2005 and 9,000 yuan in 2006. * * * Sponsored 9 college students, 3 high school students, 4 junior high school students and 16 primary school students.
"Miss Liu is in a hurry every time she comes and goes, and she doesn't want to disclose more information about herself. The Communist Youth League Committee tried many times to report his touching deeds through the media, but he also declined politely. Teacher Liu is currently the one with the largest personal donation. We are very moved by his spirit of doing good deeds without leaving a name. " Director Cui told reporters.
Xu Jingjing and Xu Shuo in Chengde County are the poor children with the most aid from Teacher Liu. In the past two years, Mr. Liu has successively subsidized the school expenses of two brothers and sisters 18000 yuan. In 2003, the father of two brothers and sisters died in a car accident, which made the poor family worse. My mother works in a restaurant, and her monthly income of 400 to 500 yuan is already stretched, and it is even more difficult to send two children to school. "If Mr. Liu hadn't funded us, our brother and sister would have dropped out of school at home." Xu Jingjing's gratitude to Mr. Liu is beyond words. Because there was no contact information of Mr. Liu, in August, 2004, Xu Jingjing wrote a letter to Mr. Liu, and passed it on to Mr. Liu through the Communist Youth League Committee to thank him for his financial aid and study report, but Mr. Liu did not reply and refused Xu Jingjing's request to meet. At present, Xu Jingjing has graduated from bethune medical school and is looking for a job. "I hope that after I find a job, I will thank Mr. Liu in person through another form or method."

Cong Fei, formerly known as Zhang Chong, was born in Zhuangtai Town, Dawa County, Panjin City, Liaoning Province,1June 1969. After dropping out of school in the second grade, I entered a bank as a cashier and was admitted to Shenyang Conservatory of Music with my salary. 1992 went to Guangzhou after graduation and came to Shenzhen two years later. 1In August, 1994, he was invited to participate in a benefit performance for out-of-school children held in Chongqing, and started 1 1 year's charitable support. Up to now, it has sponsored 178 poor children in poor mountainous areas such as Guizhou, Hunan and Sichuan. He was awarded the titles of "China Top 100 Young Volunteers", "Shenzhen Caring Citizen" and "Shenzhen Caring Ambassador". In April 2005, he was diagnosed with gastric cancer and admitted to Shenzhen People's Hospital for treatment. On May 27th, lying in his hospital bed, he joined the China Producers' Party.
Our reporter Zhou Yong reports from Shenzhen.
The sunlight came in obliquely from the window and shone on the white wall of the ward, leaving mottled tree shadows. A man in a green striped hospital gown sat quietly on the bed, quietly reading a book.
This is a ward in the Oncology Department of Shenzhen People's Hospital. He was diagnosed with stomach cancer two months ago.
During the operation, the doctor found that the tumor in his stomach had adhered to the pancreas. "The stomach cancer has spread ..." After the emergency consultation, the doctors decided to sew up the wound immediately.
Just finished the third course of chemotherapy, his hair fell out, the disease has oppressed his vocal cords, and his voice is hoarse and painful.
He used to be a little actor in Shenzhen. Now, his name has spread in a wider range-according to media reports, he began to support poor children in poor mountainous areas from 1994, and he supported 178 children, with a total donation of 3 million yuan.
Now, he has been admired by Shenzhen citizens. Since people donated money for his child's astigmatism, the hospital also decided to waive the treatment fee.
The mobile phone rang, which was his most helpless dunning call. "Didn't you say you wanted my children to graduate from college? He's still in junior high school, so you won't pay? Aren't you lying? "
"I haven't performed for several months, and I can't afford the money for the time being." "When will this disease be cured?"
The patient can't answer this question because the doctor hasn't talked to him about leaving the hospital since he was admitted to the hospital.
"I put myself on the ladder, and I can't get down after going up. I really can't go on, but I can't go on. " He commented on his help to students.
"Da Chong" who loves to sing
Cong Fei, 1969 was born in Zhuangtai Town, Dawa County, Panjin City, Liaoning Province. 1 1 years ago, he went to the south after graduating from Shenyang Conservatory of Music. 1 1 years later, lying in a hospital bed in Shenzhen, he most hopes to return to the northeast countryside.
Now, villagers in the village still remember the singer "Da Chong" (Cong Fei's nickname). "Sometimes when I go home, I find that our heatable adobe sleeping platform is crowded with people singing with broomsticks as microphones," Cong Fei's mother Li Caifeng recalled. "Cong Fei likes singing since he was a child, but he is different from his father, who likes singing in the Northeast. He studies TV series. He can remember Huo Yuanjia and Shanghai Beach once or twice, and everyone says he sings well. "
The old couple didn't care much about Cong Fei's hobbies. "We hope he can do something else and find a formal job." After many twists and turns, Cong Fei became a bank teller, and he counted money very smoothly.
But Cong Fei's interest is still in singing. Later, he was admitted to Shenyang Conservatory of Music.
Now my son has exhausted all the wealth in the family to help the poor children, and my mother has accepted it, although it is a little blamed. Many years ago, she adopted an orphan-two-year-old sister of Cong Fei. "In fact, his father always takes beggars home."
Li Caifeng said that sometimes when she came home, she saw dirty mats and clothes everywhere in the yard. When she entered the room, she said, "Mom, they are all beggars."
Cong Fei has been dealing with beggars who come to visit from time to time since he was a child. "This child has a very good relationship with a beggar in Shandong." Li Caifeng said that the husband not only brought beggars home again and again, but also asked his son to bring them tea and water. Holidays beggars go home to pay New Year greetings. "Dachong took the initiative to give jiaozi and snacks at hand."
The singer of the opening ceremony of the bridge.
From 65438 to 0994, Cong Fei graduated from Shenyang Conservatory of Music and went to Guangzhou.
He once described this experience to his friends, "sleeping in bridge opening and eating leftover lunch boxes", which made Li Caifeng feel very distressed. "I didn't listen to him about it until later. Cong Fei didn't contact his family in the first half of his first year in Guangzhou.
I miss my children, and I'm afraid something will happen. "Li Caifeng said that she used to sweep the floor with a broom, and her mind popped out.
According to a friend named Zuo, 1996, when he was in Guangzhou, a person found a talent for acting and took it with him to make money. They made a lot of money in a big performance in Shenzhen that year, but the man took the money and ran away. Cong Fei was penniless, and his life was in trouble again. This friend said that Cong Fei once walked back to the city from Shenzhen Baoan Airport, which took about an hour by car. "But Cong Fei said he didn't hate that man at all," because he thought that man had given him a chance to perform for the first time.
According to Cong Fei's friend Li Xiong, Cong Fei met with them shortly after he arrived in Shenzhen. "At that time, he was very dark and thin, and his cheekbones were very high." The image is not very good, but the young man's excellent performance ability and singing talent surprised them and immediately decided to perform with him. Li Xiong said that they gave Cong Fei a solo performance at a salon held in the Grand Theatre. "He sings very well." From then on, Cong Fei began to perform in various karaoke bars. From the initial performance of a song to earn 80 yuan, it gradually rose to several hundred yuan. At that time, Cong Fei had begun to imitate the manners and manners of celebrities, often making the audience laugh, and the atmosphere was good. Cong Fei's programs are often put at the end of the second half.
Li Xiong said that gradually, people began to pay attention to Cong Fei and invited him to perform. It will become famous over time.
Snowball donation
After becoming famous, Cong Fei often had performance opportunities, but friends found that Cong Fei, who should not have been short of money, always seemed to be short of money. "Later, I learned that he donated all his money to the children in the mountains," said a friend of Cong Fei.
In what year did Cong Fei's charity action to help poor children begin? It's hard to verify. There are various versions of this story. Because of Cong Fei's illness, it is impossible to prove it to him. However, it is generally believed that 1994, Cong Fei participated in a charity performance in Chongqing to return to school for out-of-school children, which changed his life.
In that performance, hundreds of children in the audience dropped out of school because of poverty. Cong Fei put all his 2400 yuan in cash into the donation box without hesitation. The host told Cong Fei: "The money you donated can make 20 children finish their studies for two years!"
Cong Fei thought it was a very valuable thing at that time. Since then, he has been continuously subsidizing out-of-school children in poor mountainous areas, and has held more than 20 benefit performances in poor mountainous areas such as Guizhou, Hunan and Sichuan to raise tuition fees for local out-of-school children.
Li Xiong said that Cong Fei had asked them whether they should raise so many children. "We said it was a good thing and we must stick to it," and suggested that Cong Fei adopt as many minority children as possible. "It is best to gather children from 56 ethnic groups."
According to official data, the total number of children sponsored by Cong Fei has reached 65,438+078, including Yi, Buyi, Miao, Bai and Qiang children in addition to Han children.
Cong Fei once explained the motivation of his donation: "When I was in the mountainous area, I was shocked by their poverty. I feel sad to see that they can't wear shirts and eat, but I am happy to hear that these children have books to read. " He said that his main wish is to let children have books to read, and to make society less illiterate and less ignorant of law. It is precisely because he fell in love with these simple, honest and hardworking mountain people that his donation snowballed.
"In fact, he is snowballing. Unconsciously, the snowball rolled bigger and bigger, and then he slowly began to feel tired and a little overwhelmed. "
His wife Xing Dan said: "In fact, anyone who has been to the poor mountainous areas in Guizhou will be shocked by the poverty there. I didn't understand what he did until I went with him once. Everyone will be shocked by the tragic situation there and will lend a helping hand. There is nothing special about Cong Fei. The difference is that he goes every year, has a benefit performance every year, and sees new out-of-school children every year, so he is moved by new sponsors every year. "
Foreign debt of 654.38+700,000 yuan
In 2004, Cong Fei adopted 32 orphans and poor students in zhijin county, Bijie Prefecture, Guizhou Province, and the total number of aided children reached 178.
Xu, deputy head of Guanzhai Township, Zhijin County, Guizhou Province, is the organizer of donation in Guizhou. Xu said: "The pure heart of the people in poor mountainous areas often moves us to tears. There are also many units and individuals who come to Guizhou to help the poor, but no one can achieve a completely selfless state like him. He came to zhijin county and Anshun six times to send tuition fees to poor students. When he left, he not only donated tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan, but also borrowed money from his accompanying friends to donate money. On several occasions, he even took off his clothes and donated them. He returned to Shenzhen in winter and only wore a short-sleeved underwear. "
"With the strength of Cong Fei, it is not a big problem to feed so many children." Cong Fei's friend Li Xiong said. Cong Fei has become a minor celebrity in commercial performances in some cities. The appearance fee for each performance can reach 120,000 yuan, and the monthly income can reach more than 100,000 yuan, which is completely affordable for healthy Cong Fei. However, after SARS in 2003, Cong Fei's performance opportunities dropped sharply, his income became less and less, and the funds for paying his children's tuition were also very tight.
According to the Shenzhen Special Zone Daily, in order to pay the tuition fees for more than 100 children in time, Cong Fei borrowed 654.38 million yuan from relatives and friends and delivered it to the children as scheduled before the school started.
Li Xiong said, "Once he borrowed 1 0,000 yuan from us and wanted to mortgage it with a video recorder. Up to now, this video recorder is still in my home. "
Since the spring of 2004, Cong Fei has been suffering from severe stomachache, vomiting blood and bloody stool. Cong Fei's mother, Li Caifeng, said that his family and friends advised him to be hospitalized. But Cong Fei refused, and only prescribed some oral medicine in the outpatient department. In July, 2004, Cong Fei came to Guizhou as promised and sent the children the tuition fees for the next semester. However, a large part of this tuition fee was borrowed from his friends again. At that time, Cong Fei was in debt of 6,543,800 yuan+700,000 yuan.
Li Caifeng said that Cong Fei also comforted her at the time: "As long as you contact Shang Yan more, it is not difficult to pay back this 100,000 yuan." But what I didn't expect was that Cong Fei's stomachache was getting worse and worse, and her voice was getting worse and worse. He can no longer earn tuition for his children by singing, and the debts he owes cannot be repaid, which has become a heavy burden on his heart.
"Why do you insist on subsidizing children when you have no ability?" Family and friends can't understand this: "To help others, we must do what we can. How can you lend money to others? " Cong Fei explained this to them: "I promised my children that I would do my best to help them graduate. How can I break my word? "
Cong Fei in people's eyes
While donating to poor children in mountainous areas, Cong Fei is also a five-star volunteer of Shenzhen Volunteers Association, with 2,478 volunteers. Ms Huayang is Cong Fei's guide to the Volunteer Association. 1At the end of 996, Huayang got to know Cong Fei in the charity performance of "Helping the Poor" held by Shenzhen Communist Youth League Committee. Huayang thinks that Cong Fei is a young man with dedication, enthusiasm and deep sense of social responsibility, so at the beginning of 1997, she invited Cong Fei to join the Volunteer League, and he began to recruit people to create the Volunteer League Art Troupe, with Cong Fei as the head of the Art Troupe. Cong Fei immediately agreed, and then began to organize personnel training. After more than half a year, this amateur art troupe was established. The performance of the Volunteer Union Art Troupe in Shenzhen has a strong response, with more than ten large-scale performances every year. Many audiences went for Cong Fei's name, but after they went, they were all impressed by his charm.
"In the eyes of these audiences, Cong Fei is a cheerful and dedicated performer who never plays big cards and is very good to the audience." Huayang said.
Ms. Feng, who now works in an internet company in Shenzhen, is also a member of the Volunteer League. She and Cong Fei met in a benefit performance at Lianhua North Rehabilitation Station for the Disabled. Cong Fei participates in major festivals such as Spring Festival, Lantern Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival every year, and has never been absent. He is good at imitating celebrities, and his expression is vivid and amazing, which is very popular with disabled people in rehabilitation stations. In Feng's eyes, he is a person who brings too much happiness to people around him.
For the long-term assistance to poor children, Ms. Feng thinks that she has no bottom. He regards this behavior as his responsibility. Although he is just an ordinary migrant worker, it has gradually become a habit to support children for a long time.
"He is too serious and sometimes rambles. Several brothers are having dinner together. He always says how many poor children's tuition fees can be exchanged for this meal. We all laugh at him. " Mr. Zuo, a friend of mine, said:
At first, Cong Fei didn't tell everyone that he sponsored children in poor mountainous areas. "We didn't know until later." Mr. Zuo said he didn't like publicity, so when many people doubted his behavior, he didn't bother to explain, just smiled.
According to Shenzhen Special Zone Daily,1From March 65438 to March 16, 1998, Cong Fei held seven "Cong Fei Charity Galas for Helping the Poor" in succession, and donated all the ticket income of more than 500,000 yuan to Shenzhen Youth Development Foundation. 1August, 998 19, Cong Fei, who was attending a commercial performance in other places, received a phone call from the Shenzhen authorities and asked if he could participate in the large-scale benefit performance of "flood fighting and disaster relief" held the next day. Cong Fei immediately shut down many commercial performances, bought air tickets at his own expense and returned to Shenzhen, and donated all the 20,000 yuan from his performance in Hunan.
After Cong Fei was hospitalized, many people who came to visit him were strangers. A citizen surnamed Zhang said: "I think the publicity report is too exaggerated. I ran over and found it was true. He is really something. He is a truly caring person. "
"This is actually the same as when he took me home to eat a bowl of jiaozi and divide a big cake when he was a child. There is no big difference." In the view of Mr. Zhao, a childhood classmate, it is not incomprehensible to subsidize poor children to study. "He is just an ordinary person, nothing special except loving others more."
household affairs
Cong Fei's home is in Xin Ganghong Garden, east of Cuizhu Road, Luohu District, Shenzhen, a house of 50-60 square meters.
The bookcase in the half wall of the room is full of awards and photos, and there are some classical music and folk songs on the CD shelf. "Although it is small and simple, it is still very warm." His wife Xing Dan said.
The beautiful 24-year-old stewardess now understands what Cong Fei has done. She thinks that Cong Fei is a responsible man and becomes his second wife.
Cong Fei's first wife, a Burmese, divorced him two years ago and left her inheritance to his daughter Rui Rui, who was only two years old.
In fact, at the beginning of marriage, Xing Dan sometimes didn't understand Cong Fei's practice and complained. In the summer of 2004, Cong Fei took her to a poor mountainous area in southern Guizhou and sent clothes and tuition fees to the children she sponsored. "I am shocked by the poverty of those children's families. They can't afford to eat meat all year round, and corn flour has to be mixed with straw. Many families have only one quilt for five or six people in winter. When I saw those lovely children hugging Cong Fei's neck and calling for their father, their parents held Cong Fei's hand and wept silently. At that moment, I really understood Cong Fei's contribution. "
Xing Dan quit her job as a flight attendant to take care of her young daughter Rui Rui and become a full-time housewife.
Xing Dan said that she is in a good mood now. "He can do whatever he wants, as long as he is happy. As for money, his family is not enough to eat anyway, and he can get enough money. "
Regarding people's evaluation of her husband in society, Xing Dan said: "His support beyond his own ability is exaggerated in the eyes of others. In my opinion, this is natural. His character is like this He can't stand the pain of others, nor can he stand the pleading of others. Don't say that these children in poor mountainous areas are ordinary friends. As long as they ask him for help, whether it's money or things, he will solve it as a matter and never know how to refuse others.
Xing Dan said that Cong Fei loves movies, and they go to see the opening of Hollywood blockbusters every month, almost every time, but now he has not entered the cinema for a long time because of illness.
After being hospitalized, Cong Fei left three wills to his friends: "Xing Dan married me, lived a very poor life with me, accompanied me across mountains and rivers, and donated money to study in poor mountainous areas. She suffered too much for me. Now pregnant for more than four months, how can a person support the children in the future? Please do her work together and take the child away to facilitate her later life; I've been running around for years, leaving no savings for my family. I'm sorry for my parents and family. After my death, I asked my parents to take Rui Rui back to rural Liaoning, where the living standard was low and it was easy to live. I have sponsored more than one hundred children, many of whom are primary school students. If they can't continue their studies, a hopeless future awaits them. You must do more to keep them studying ... "
"Shenzhen Special Zone Daily" recorded Xing Dan's reaction to Cong Fei's will: Xing Dan was too excited to control himself: "In this world, he has nothing but this child. How can I abort this child for myself? Anyway, I will give birth to him ... "
May you be happy.
Lying in a hospital bed, Cong Fei still receives letters from children all over the world every day. Reading letters is his greatest pleasure and enjoyment.
"Dad, I want to tell you one thing. Growing up, I have never seen the sea. I really want to see the sea. When you are ready, I will go to see the sea with you after I graduate from college. Dad, please rest assured that I will study hard and be a useful person to society in the future. " This is what Luo Yanyan said in her letter from zhijin county.
She is a sophomore in zhijin county No.1 Middle School.
"Cong Fei's support made me understand that God didn't mistreat anyone at first. He always gives people a life with the same conservation of mass. The key is your needs. If you want more worldly happiness, then spiritual pleasure will be reduced as appropriate, and vice versa. " Hu Shi, editor-in-chief of Canglang in Hanshou County, Hunan Province, commented on Cong Fei. Hu Shi, suffering from polio, received a total donation of 84,000 yuan from Cong Fei, which enabled him to realize his dream of going to college and becoming a writer. He learned that Cong Fei was hospitalized for cancer and came from Hanshou County to visit him.
On his deathbed, Cong Fei was still thinking about the children in this 100 poverty-stricken mountainous area, thinking that their tuition fees had not been paid this semester. On May 17, he left the money donated to him for three courses of chemotherapy, and took out 20,000 yuan to the poor mountainous area in zhijin county, Guizhou. He worked hard to record a passage for the "children" in Guizhou: "Children: Dad can't come to see you in person, but he misses you very much. I hope you study hard and become a useful person to society in the future ... "
On May 15, the day after Cong Fei's operation, he handed the application for joining the Party written a year ago to the relevant leaders who came to visit him: "I am a freelance singer and have no unit. I have never submitted an application for joining the Party. Now, I know my days are numbered. Please give it to the party organization and hope that I can become a party member from China in my lifetime. " On the morning of May 27th, Cong Fei finally realized his ideal in life, becoming a party member and a Made in China.
On June 15, Cong Fei held a family meeting before he died, and made two wishes to his parents and family: donate his cornea and useful organs to benefit others, and donate his body to the hospital for medical research; Refused to accept a four-bedroom and two-bedroom house sent to him by Shenzhen Housing Bureau, and his family could only make contributions to the society when and where, and could not reach out to the society.
"As long as you are happy, as long as you are happy, as long as you have a good dream, I won't work hard. As long as you are happy, as long as you are satisfied, as long as you smile back, I am very satisfied. " Cong Fei gently hummed his own song "May you be happy", and his face was full of smiles.
