This is a letter from my sister to my deceased brother

Ah Rong:

I really can’t believe this is true. I received a letter from Gen Shen from Ah Hua yesterday afternoon. For more than 20 hours now, our family has been living in a nightmare. Could it be a mistake? It can't be true!

You have always been a low-key person. You think that when you do what you think you want to do, you don’t need to publicize it to others. You also think that what you do is just what an ordinary person does. Not worth mentioning. However, this time, you became the headlines on TV, newspapers and online!

The last time you walked to Beijing to raise funds and promote blood cancer and bone marrow banks, you said that you hoped to spread the message through the media and influence lives with your life. Mr. Lin, a media friend you had close contacts with last time, contacted me today; I think you would like me to tell other people your little story, sow small seeds, and hope that more caring people will take action to help the country. Children in need.

When we talked on the phone for the last time, although you were in Lanzhou and had not yet left for Qinghai, you told me very excitedly that this trip should be very worthwhile as you thought. Lin Zi and the director of the orphanage really They are people who work seriously and can do something for the children together with them.

We also discussed how to send you the collected clothes and more than 40 schoolbags made by my eldest sister, and how to use the money given to you by the Tai Chi brothers and sisters! I am a more practical person, and I advise you to observe it yourself before making a conclusion after arriving in Qinghai! Why does fate have to go like this?

They ask, what drives you to do these things? I think my father’s teachings and his example of helping others among his peers and fellow villagers must have taken root in our hearts since childhood; he often said that the places people in China can live and the food they can eat, why? You can’t live or eat? Therefore, our siblings have been extremely flexible in accepting different living conditions since childhood; it can be said that because of my father’s teachings, you are willing to accept no matter how bad the living conditions in China are. As for your sincere care for people in remote and backward areas of the country, I think it was influenced by our many backpacking experiences in places such as the Silk Road, Yunnan and Sichuan in the 1980s and 1990s!

As for you starting volunteering in China, it should be possible to start with your acquaintance with Sui Jiguo. That year, you accidentally bought his book "Challenging Death - Traveling to the End of the World with White Blood and Red Heart" in a bookstore, and you were moved by this soldier suffering from leukemia. Your foolishness and sincerity moved the people at the publishing house and helped you contact Jiguo. He also accepted you to join him in the last part of his walking trip from Beijing to Shenzhen. You two true-hearted people began to We call each other brothers, and our family has a little brother for nothing!

"I know that even if I give you another choice, you will still take this path..."
