A beautiful story which brought tears into my eyes. If only fellow human beings be considerate to others and enhance human welfare and ease human suffering.
I recently saw a Malayalam Movie " Chettayees ", . The movie had drinking and smoking scenes from beginning to end and seems to glorify these habits. How I wish film's promote the habit of abstinence and urge viewers to utilise the money which is spent for it and detrimental for their own health, help the sick and the needy whom they know personally or to the charity of their choice.

I NEVER saw life in this light!!!
This NEEDS to be known. If only as an inspiring tale.
Charity and the Art of Giving are greatly satisfying virtues, we often forget about in the humdrum of life.
I am reminded. Am sure so would you be, after reading the narration in trail.
In 1987, a 74-year old rickshaw puller by the name of Bai Fangli came back to his hometown planning to retire from his backbreaking job. There, he saw children working in the fields, because they were too poor to afford school fees.
Bai returned to Tianjin and went back to work as a rickshaw puller, taking a modest accommodation next to the railway station. He waited for clients 24 hours a day, ate simple food and wore discarded second-hand clothes he found. He gave all of his hard-earned earnings to support children who could not afford education.
In 2001, he drove his rickshaw to Tianjin YaoHua Middle School, to deliver his last installment of money. Nearly 90 years old, he told the students that he couldn't work any more. All of the students and teachers were moved to tears.
In total, Bai had donated a total of 350,000 yuan to help more than 300 poor students continue with their studies. In 2005, Bai passed away leaving behind an inspiring legacy.
If a rickshaw-puller who wore used clothes and had no education can support 300 children to go to school, imagine what you and I can do with the resources we have to bring about positive change in our world!
