Although my husband is on his knees, it is enough for me to look up to my whole life. This is the first time the girl has met the person who has sponsored her education since childhood. To her surprise, this person is not a bodhisattva who is willing to give, nor is he a star with great love, but a disabled post-90s waste picker. When the girl saw this scene, she was in disbelief at first, but after reacting, she burst into tears instantly. The girl could never have imagined that this kind-hearted person who had been silently supporting her education behind her back turned out to be a waste picker with disabled legs and feet. Even though his own life is already difficult, he still helps others in obscurity.

It turned out that this post-90s disabled waste picker was named Hu Lei, who was once rated as a "kneeling giant". Relying on the money earned by picking up garbage and handicrafts, he has donated nearly 1 million yuan to silently send warmth to hundreds of poor children in mountainous areas.

When Hu Lei was one year old, his father died for some reason, and his mother abandoned him after remarrying. As a last resort, Hu Lei has been dependent on his elderly grandmother since he was a child, but fate did not let go of this hard-working child, when he was a child, because of a sudden high fever caused him to suffer from polio, which caused him to have disabled legs and speech barriers. However, he did not bow to fate. In order to take care of his elderly grandmother and to have enough to eat, Hu Lei crawled five kilometers every day to pick up garbage and sell it in the city. After a long time, the nearby residents have come to know this disabled guy who kneels on his knees and picks up waste by the garbage heap every day, and he lives by picking up garbage and buying waste products day after day, rain or shine. After making money, I finally experienced the feeling of having a full meal for the first time.

Gradually, more and more well-wishers began to help him, some people came to deliver food to him, and some people donated wheelchairs to him, and it was these help from well-wishers that made Hu Lei feel the warmth of human affection. He often thinks about how to return this kindness to society. Therefore, since 2011, Hu Lei has taken the initiative to donate to the China Youth Association every month, from a few yuan to hundreds or thousands of yuan, and the donations have never stopped. Since then, there has been a serious disaster in the country, and Hu Lei can be seen.

For example, in July 2011, Xinxiang, Henan Province was hit by a heavy rainstorm, and after Hu Lei learned about it, he urgently took out all his savings, bought mineral water and instant noodles worth 20,000 yuan, and rushed to the disaster area in Henan from Ningxia, thousands of miles away. When he climbed to the donation point, the staff thought he was here to beg. Later, I learned that the scavenger with a disabled leg had crawled over to donate supplies to the disaster area. The ** and the staff present were all moved to tears when they saw this. What many people don't know is that this inconspicuous material worth 20,000 yuan was accumulated bit by bit after Hu Lei knelt through countless trash cans and picked up countless empty bottles. Compared with the millions of donations from Internet celebrities, 20,000 yuan is indeed insignificant, but this is all Hu Lei has.

On Hu Lei's birthday, he was lying on the ground in frayed socks, without a friend, a piece of cake, or a birthday present. Just a few months ago, Zhuozhou, Hebei Province suffered a catastrophic flood, Hu Lei learned that he immediately hired a nine-meter-six truck, loaded with a full car of relief materials, and followed the disaster relief vehicle from Ningxia, which lasted more than 20 hours and traveled more than 1,000 kilometers, and distributed the instant noodles, mineral water, rubber gloves, iodophor and other disaster relief materials on the car to the affected people at the fastest speed. Some people say that Hu Lei is a big sz and a good person, even though he is in the rain, he still holds an umbrella for others, and he needs help, but he can't see the suffering of the world.

When Hu Lei learned on the Internet that many left-behind children in mountainous areas could not afford to read, eat or clothe themselves, it reminded him of himself when he was a child. In order to help left-behind children in mountainous areas, Hu Lei worked even harder to pick up garbage and sell public goods to fulfill his long-standing desire to give back to society. Later, after the festival, he went to the primary school in the mountainous area alone to donate schoolbags, stationery and other love materials totaling 30,450 yuan to 255 rural students. At this moment, he finally felt the value he brought to society.

The world kisses me with pain, and I want to repay it with a song. "It is such a scavenger who looks unkempt, does not want to lose, has slurred speech, and has disabled legs, but his contribution to society has reached millions. Hu Lei used his actions to explain what love and greatness are. Although he was harshly reprimanded by fate, he repaid his grievances with virtue; Although he was disabled, he became a light to others. The difficulties in life are not the end of his life, but the starting point of his courage and responsibility. It is this spiritual giant that influences each of our generations, so we have to praise this "kneeling giant".
