He Stayed Poor So 300 Children Could Go to School

Описание: Bai Fang Li was a humble pedicab driver in China who spent nearly two decades donating almost everything he earned to help children escape poverty through education. While living a simple life himself, he quietly funded school costs for students who otherwise may never have had the chance to study.

Over the years, Bai reportedly helped support the education of more than 300 students, giving away around $55,000—an extraordinary sum for a man earning so little. He worked into old age, continuing to pedal passengers through the streets so he could keep sending money to children in need.

One winter, exhausted and physically unable to continue, he handed his final $77 to a teacher and said, “This will be my last donation. I am no longer fit to work.” He passed away at the age of 93, remembered as a man who had little—but gave everything.
