Mortal kindness warms Shangqiu, China

Shangqiu is a city located in Henan, China where raises up so many ordinary heroes such as Jiang Bingchi, Zhang Zhixian, Sun Wanhong etc. Faced with danger, they are not timid and choose to fight bravely.

In 2005, a migrant worker of Shangqiu named Li Xuesheng, he rescued a child under the train wheels. Over the past 15 years, his name has been chanted in Shangqiu widely, so the spirit of "helping others, uniting and being friendly", " sacrificing one's life for righteousness bravely" is inherited.

Jiang Bingchi, a young man from Shangqiu, has a dream to become a hero. On August 4, 2019, his parents donated 6 organs of his body free of charge according to his will, which saved 6 persons’lives. On December 31, 2019, the temperature dropped to minus 7 degrees Celsius, Zhang Zhixian, another young man in Shangqiu, jumped into the river to rescue a falling old man without hesitation. Unfortunately, he died. On January 13, 2020, when the road collapsed suddenly, Sun Wanhong, a young man in Shangqiu as well, was seriously injured at that time, but he insisted on helping others. They are true heroes in our ordinary life.

Mortal kindness warms the earth. In the battle against the COVID-19 epidemic, so many "white soldiers" guard the patient with their lives, and they write a heroic hymn with loyalty and dedication. Numerous volunteers launch a number of voluntary service activities. They provide free lunch for front-line staff of epidemic prevention, enter multiple residential communities to do voluntary disinfection, and open a 24-hour health counseling hot-line... Ordinary Shangqiu people work together to build a "Steel Great Wall" for the epidemic prevention.
