Yu Leiming was originally a very handsome guy who owned three suites and a luxury car in Shanghai.
Originally, he could have lived a chic life with his girlfriend, but he chose to give up all this and went to the mountains to create a stray dog base and adopted nearly 3,000 stray dogs.
After raising so many stray dogs, not only did he lose his car and house, but his girlfriend also left him, and even his own life was gone.
His matter has caused quite a bit of controversy, and many people say that he does meaningless things and does not contribute anything to society.
What made him do such a thing?

One day in 2007, Yu Leiming anxiously drove a Porsche through the streets, looking for his missing dog Xiao Ai, he was anxious, afraid that he would miss Xiao Ai's familiar figure if he was not careful.
This night when he should have slept peacefully at home, Yu Leiming was searching outside against the cold wind, he kept telling himself to stay rational and calm, but when the car lights lit up the street corner, Yu Leiming still couldn't help but beat his heart faster - would a familiar figure suddenly jump out there?
Turning an intersection, a stray dog suddenly broke into the range illuminated by the headlights, Yu Leiming immediately stepped on the brakes, the tires made a piercing friction sound against the ground, and the body drew a long trajectory in the night before it could stop, almost hitting the sudden life.
Yu Leiming hurriedly got out of the car to check, only to see the stray dog lying on the side of the road dying, covered in blood, obviously just suffered a tragic car accident.
Its dirty fur was torn open with horrible wounds, its eyes were closed, and it was on the verge of death.
Poor little one!Yu Leiming couldn't bear to see it die like this, so he picked it up in the car and ran to the nearest pet hospital.
However, because of the severity of the injury, the little stray dog still did not survive that night.
This sudden change became an important turning point in Yu Leiming's life, he could have lived a happy life, and since then he has devoted himself to the rescue of stray animals, and his life has undergone a 180-degree reversal.
Originally, Yu Leiming had everything going well, his career was successful, he had an apartment and a sports car in Shanghai, and a beautiful girlfriend who had been in love for 9 years was about to enter the palace of marriage, and at the age of 30, he seemed to have the life that many people dreamed of, and everything was under control.
However, the good times did not last long, and his dog Xiao Ai suddenly disappeared, which made Yu Leiming very painful, and he desperately searched everywhere, but there was still no news.
It was the experience of encountering injured stray dogs in the process of searching for dogs that made Yu Leiming determined to devote himself to the cause of stray animal rescue and give these poor creatures a home.
At first, Yu Leiming would take them to the pet hospital for a physical examination, and after the examination, he temporarily placed the stray dogs in his own home. It didn't take long for Yu Leiming's home to be filled with six or seven stray dogs.
They were lying or standing, crowding the small courtyard to the ground.
Yu Leiming realized the seriousness of the matter, he had to think of a way to get the best of both worlds, and in the end, he chose to rent a large remote yard in the suburbs, and then personally drove to buy a large number of ** and medicine, and began his stray dog rescue career.
At first there were only a few dozen, then a hundred, two hundred. The number of stray dogs is growing rapidly under the love of Yu Leiming.
At first, Yu Leiming would personally feed them and clean their quarters, and over time, he dressed like a sloppy uncle.
After that, he gave the place the name "Chang'an", hoping that the stray animals could spend the rest of their lives here.
The Chang'an shelter is running in an orderly manner, and each new stray dog is filed, vaccinated, and finally placed in a fluffy and warm den.
It's like the ideal country they dream of, where they can eat well, have medicine and cure their diseases, and no longer have to sleep outside the home.
At first, there were only a few dozen stray dogs, then a hundred, hundreds, until now "Chang'an" has sheltered more than 2,000 stray animals.
They flock to each other, keep each other warm, and live a very different life than before.
However, the huge pressure to keep this huge relief center running all fell on Yu Leiming's shoulders alone, and he did not hesitate to sell all his belongings and rely on donations to maintain his life.
To make matters worse, the shelter has been vandalized, village tyrants have found fault, thieves have broken in, and there have even been many arson incidents.
Every time, it was Yu Leiming who sacrificed his life to save the dogs, so that a large number of animals were saved from doom, although Yu Leiming himself was often seriously injured in these accidents, but he never gave up.
In a huge flash flood, Yu Lei Ming resisted the knee-high flash flood, hugged the dog and transferred, in a fire, he rushed into the fire, rescued all the animals, everyone persuaded him to give up, he still did not flinch.
Time flies, Yu Leiming's sideburns are all white, his face is yellow and thin, his face is full of vicissitudes, and his body is overwhelmed by years of blood.
One night in June, Yu Leiming was busy in the base again until late at night, he bandaged the last stray dog to stop the bleeding, and the movements of his hands were a little unsteady because of exhaustion.
While the town was not yet asleep, he quickly cleaned up the scene, for fear of alarming the neighbors, Yu Leiming took the dog back to the nest, it snuggled in his arms, and licked his fingers affectionately.
Yu Leiming had a reluctant smile on his face. He stroked the dog's soft fur and felt tired like never before.
Closing the door and returning to the room, Yu Leiming coughed, it was a dry cough that lasted for a month, which made his whole chest ache, Yu Leiming took out the medicine bottle, ate the last two pills of the night, and then lay down on the shabby cot like a force.
He knew that he was not lightly ill, but he really couldn't take care of this, thousands of animals in the base depended on him, what could he do if he was a big deal?
Yu Leiming thought silently, isn't it just a cough, just hold on for a while.
So, Yu Leiming got up early and worked late as usual, pretending that he was not sick.
During the day, he was busy in the base, feeding, cleaning, and bandaging sick animals, and no one could see how this middle-aged man with a yellow face and thin muscles endured physical discomfort.
When he was alone at night, Yu Leiming would let off his guard, he curled up on the hard bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep, and his body was sore and weak, making him extremely uncomfortable.
The most uncomfortable thing is coughing, Yu Leiming clutched his chest and coughed non-stop, coughing until his face turned purple and panting, he knew that his body must have been full of viruses and phlegm, but he still endured it and did not go to the doctor.
Yu Leiming couldn't imagine how the doctor would pronounce his condition, cancerTuberculosis?Or is it some other terminal illness?He couldn't afford it.
As long as he can hold on, Yu Leiming will let himself continue to persevere, even if he takes more medicine and sleeps less, he will have to fight the disease to the end.
However, things are going beyond Yu Leiming's imagination, and his body is deteriorating every day at a rate visible to the naked eye - emaciation, fatigue, dehydration. Yu Leiming couldn't figure it out, he obviously had a good meal.
One morning, Yu Leiming passed out and woke up to find himself lying on a bed in a small hospital at the foot of the mountain, surrounded by anxious faces.
Yu Leiming realized how sick he was, and he finally agreed to have a full body examination, waiting for the results in fear and despair.
When the doctor handed the report to Yu Leiming with trembling hands, his whole body collapsed - more than 100 nodules grew out of his lungs, and all of them were at varying risk of malignant transformation.
Yu Leiming's eyes darkened, he knew that his life had come to an end, but he still had so many "children" who needed him!
As a result, Yu Leiming refused to be hospitalized, and contrary to the doctor's advice, he began to take some cheap Chinese patent medicines and antipyretics, hoping to temporarily suppress his condition.
However, cancer is not a cold and cannot be cured with a few pills, and Yu Leiming's condition worsened in the following days, and he couldn't even do the daily work of the base.
The summer heat made Yu Leiming sweat all day, and he knew that he was dying at a rapid pace, but he still told himself that it would be good to hold on for a few more days, a few weeks at most.
After the news broke on the Internet, many well-wishers donated money to him, hoping that he could survive this difficult time.
But fate did not favor him, and Yu Leiming, who knew that his life was short, released the last news, claiming that he could no longer accompany them, and he also left the donations of well-wishers to his "hairy children".
Yu Leiming's mother also helped him fulfill his final wish and used the money to buy ** and use it to feed these dogs.
