In April 2006, the farewell ceremony of Cong Fei's body was held at the Shenzhen Funeral Home, which was somewhat special because in addition to Cong Fei's former colleagues, relatives, and some children who had been sponsored by him came to the scene to say a final farewell to him.
Among them, Hu Shishi came from Hunan, and he choked up in front of the camera, "I came today to tell him, now I have sponsored 6 children, and with his help, I also have the ability to learn from him to fund others..."
If Cong Fei was still alive, hearing these words would not make the regret in his heart less than a few points.

In 1969, Zhang Chong was born in a poor village in the northeast, his father's salary was not high, and he could barely support his family under the help of well-wishers.
Even if life is difficult, Zhang Chong's family insists on helping others. Under such a deaf ear, Zhang Chong's heart planted a seed of helping others.
Zhang Chong, who has shown a musical talent different from others since he was a child, listened to the songs he listened to twice, and often showed himself at the invitation of neighbors, but in that era, it was difficult to eat a full meal, let alone to study music.
In Zhang Chong's second year of junior high school, his family could no longer afford his tuition, so he had to drop out of school and work as a cashier at a bank in the town, earning a salary to supplement the family.
He is busy with work during the day and continues to study at night with musical dreams. Fortunately, kung fu paid off, and Zhang Chong was admitted to the Shenyang Conservatory of Music.
Four years later, Zhang Chong, who graduated from the Conservatory of Music and came to Guangzhou with his dream across most of China, named himself "Cong Fei", which means taking off in the bushes and starting over.
But at that time, studying music, graduation is equivalent to unemployment, after hitting the wall many times in succession, Cong Fei can only sell songs on the street to support himself, the most difficult time he has no place to go, can only sleep under the bridge hole, and even pick up leftovers that others don't want.
Once, when Cong Fei was selling songs on the side of the road, just as he was indulging in his own singing of "Ussuri Boat Song", a girl in the crowd gave him six hundred yuan, hoping that he would participate in the singer competition and bravely pursue his dreams.
Although Cong Fei did not achieve any ranking in the singing competition at that time, many people knew him because of this, and Cong Fei's fate changed.
In 1994, Cong Fei was invited to participate in the "Out-of-School Children Return to School Charity Performance" jointly held in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, and after the performance, he learned that the children's families were poor and could not afford to study, so he donated the only 2400 yuan he had.
After donating and learning that the money could enable 40 children to read for a year, his heart was full of satisfaction, and the seed that was planted in his heart when he was young began to take root.
In 1995, Cong Fei came to Shenzhen and was accepted as a disciple by tenor Guo Song for his outstanding voice, and it was at this time that he began his 11-year-long philanthropic funding.
In 1996, he applied to become one of the first volunteers in Shenzhen, and the following year, he joined the Volunteer Federation and finally became the head of the Volunteer Federation Art Troupe.
Since then, he has made charity his main business, and his presence has appeared in various places across the country where he is needed.
As Cong Fei's career grew better and better, his donation to charity became larger and larger, and in order to perform charity, he did not hesitate to push off business activities and pay high liquidated damages.
However, his own life is very frugal, the family is crammed into dozens of square meters of houses, and even this house is still a loan to buy.
Cong Fei is too serious, low-key, and sometimes very nagging. The brothers came out to dinner together, and he always nagged and talked to us about how many poor children could be helped to return to school if they did not eat this meal, and every time we heard him say this, we laughed at him. ”
Mr. Zuo, a magician, once performed a commercial performance with Cong Fei, "Sometimes everyone is a little tired of hearing him say this, but at that time, no one knew that he had begun to sponsor students to go to school, which was only later learned." ”
It is understood that Cong Fei's volunteer service time exceeds 6,000 hours, and the charity performance is as high as more than 400. He sponsored 183 poor students and more than 150 disabled people, the most famous of which was "Hu Shishi". In addition, he also adopted 33 orphans and donated more than 3 million yuan in family property.
His burmese wife at the time did not understand him very much, and several times dissuaded him, and the differences between the two grew, and finally filed for divorce, leaving behind his two-year-old daughter and Cong Fei.
Fortunately, in 2003, Cong Fei met his real soul mate, Xing Dan, who was a flight attendant at the time, but in order to support Cong Fei's career, she quit her job and single-mindedly cared for Cong Fei and his daughter.
Someone once asked Xing Dan that Cong Fei took all the money to do charity, do you have any opinion?
Xing Dan smiled and said, "At the beginning, there was, but after seeing those children, I felt that he could do whatever he wanted, as for money, the family did not reach the point where they could not eat, and if they could donate a little, they could spend enough." ”
When his wife Xing Dan was pregnant, Cong Fei was diagnosed with stomach cancer, and at the last moment of his life, he still insisted on doing charity, and even asked to donate his cornea after death.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="19" > danmi raises enemies</h1>
In the ward, although Cong Fei had a haggard face, he still forced a smile on his daughter, "Rui Rui, what do others say about Daddy?" ”
Rui Rui smiled and Cong Fei said, "They say Dad is crazy and stupid. Rui Rui was still young, and he didn't understand what these evaluations meant to Cong Fei.
When Hefei was hospitalized, the parent of an assisted student called and accused Cong Fei of not talking, saying that he wanted to provide his children until he graduated from college, and how he would not pay for it until junior high school.
Xing Dan told him that Cong Fei was very seriously ill, but the parent said lightly, "Then you ask him when he will be cured and come out to earn money." ”
There was a girl who hoped to be his disciple after Cong Fei's charity performance, but after being politely rejected by Cong Fei for not bringing female students, she did not contact Cong Fei for a long time, but the second contact was to ask Cong Fei for money.
The message she sent to Cong Fei was as follows: "I heard that you have been sponsoring poor students, and now I have encountered some difficulties and are at risk of dropping out of school, can you help me." ”
Cong Fei immediately sent her two thousand yuan of living expenses after listening, and this girl asked Cong Fei for money every semester, and even asked Cong Fei to buy him a CD player in the name of study, Cong Fei did not suspect, after sending it over, the girl only replied with a text message that she had received.
When the reporter contacted the girl and told her the news that Cong Fei was sick and hospitalized, the girl only said, "Then I wish him peace of mind and early recovery." "There was no more news after that.
Of the more than a hundred students he sponsored, very few visited him during his illness and hospitalization, and even one student who had been recommended by Cong Fei as a music teacher said:
"Cong Fei helped me completely out of his will, he has his ideas, I have never forced him, anyone does things with a plan, as for what he wants, you can guess." 」
What's more, someone called a reporter to erase his name from Cong Fei's donation list, because he felt that it made him unable to lift his head and be humiliated.
These words gave Cong Fei as much pain as chemotherapy, but even so, Cong Fei still took the responsibility on himself, saying that if his voice could not recover and he could not become a singer, he could still act in pantomime.
Cong Fei's condition quickly worsened, but he donated the donations from the society to him, and ten days before his death, Cong Fei proposed to stop treatment and only maintain analgesia treatment, and he also hoped that these saved costs could be given to those who needed it.
Although there were many white-eyed wolves in the process of funding, not all of them did not have a grateful heart.
During Cong Fei's illness and hospitalization, he received daily letters from children from all over the country who had received his sponsorship, and he told Xing Dan that reading the letters from these children was the greatest pleasure and joy.
If there is a safe in the home of ordinary people, most of them are cash or other valuable things, and the safe in Cong Fei's home contains letters written to him by the children he sponsored and photos of him and the children at that time.
A girl in Zhijin County, Guizhou Province, who is in her second year of high school, wrote to him and said, "Dad, I want to tell you one thing, I have not seen the sea since I was a child, I would like to go to see, when you are well, when I graduate from college, I will go with you, please rest assured, I will definitely be a person who is helpful to society, and I will definitely study well." ”
In addition, a "daughter" named Bai Liping wrote in a letter to Cong Fei: "Your recovery is the expectation of all of us. I wish you a speedy recovery and another wonderful tomorrow. ”
After Hu Shishi learned that Cong Fei was ill and hospitalized, he also came from other places to visit.
When the reporter interviewed Gao Guo, the first child sponsored by Cong Fei, on the phone, he learned that he was now studying at the Xi'an Music School and was also a disciple of Cong Fei.
Gao Guo told reporters: "Teacher Cong Fei is very kind to him, has been volunteering to teach him vocal music, and also took him to his home in Shenzhen, did not let him pay a penny, without Cong Fei, he absolutely could not be admitted to the Conservatory of Music." ”
However, in April 2006, Cong Fei's condition deteriorated, and then fell into a coma, the hospital rescue was ineffective, and finally the 37-year-old Cong Fei left us forever with regret. When Cong Fei died, his young daughter had just been born, and Xing Dan named him Xing Xiao Cong Fei.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="21" > fate is to pick the bitter man</h1>
After Cong Fei's death, Xing Dan's life will continue to go down, she alone took on the debts that Cong Fei owed for treating diseases and supporting others before she died, in order to remember her husband, Xing Dan inherited Cong Fei's volunteer number and insisted on supporting those poor students.
But later, because the economic conditions were so poor, it was forced to stop.
On the evening of April 13, 2011, Xing Dan and his friends met to eat seafood, and encountered misfortune when passing through Shiling Village on their way back to Shenzhen.
There are no schools in Stone Ridge, and the educational resources that can be accessed are very rare, so children are accustomed to going to the highway to play a game called "flying stones and smashing cars" on the side of the highway. In fact, it is to judge the distance of the car according to the sound of the car engine, and then throw stones on the highway.
At that time, three children played the game of "flying stones smashing cars" for fun, and after hitting three cars in succession, the fourth stone hit Xing Dan's car, causing Xing Dan to be pierced by a stone under his left cheek, and finally died of excessive blood loss.
On April 15, when three children who threw stones were arrested, they did not know that they had killed people.
When her father Cong Fei died, Xiao Cong Fei did not understand anything, but when her mother Xing Dan died, Xiao Cong Fei was already five years old, and for her at that time, her mother was all she had.
No one dared to tell Xiao Congfei the news of his mother, and it was not until two days before the funeral that he could not hide the news that his mother had died.
At that time, Xiao Hongkun hugged Xiao CongFei and told her that "My mother went to find my father", and in the face of her mother's non-farewell, Xiao Cong Feiqiang held back tears and said, "I will miss my mother." During the farewell ceremony of the body, Xiao Hongkun was overly sad and fainted.
On the day of Xing Dan's cremation, the citizens of Shenzhen spontaneously sent her off, and her mother, Xiao Hongkun, decided to bury her and Cong Fei together.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="23" > the current situation of Cong Fei's daughter</h1>
After the successive deaths of Cong Fei and Xing Dan, the life and study of Cong Fei's two daughters have attracted much social attention.
On this basis, the Shenzhen Charity Association decided to launch the "Cong Fei Orphan Care Plan" to provide living protection for the two little girls from three aspects: living expenses, education insurance, medical and accident insurance by raising funds from the private sector.
Now it has been 15 years since Cong Fei's death, during these 15 years, Jiang Da'ao recognized Cong Fei's eldest daughter Rui Rui as a granddaughter, and later funded her tuition fees of 10,000 yuan every year, whether he was in Shenzhen or returned to his hometown of Liaoning, Jiang Da'ao kept his promise every year and paid a sum of tuition to Cong Fei's father's account.
Although he himself has been frail and sick in recent years, he still insists on taking care of all aspects of Cong Fei's eldest daughter. The girl who was only 6 years old at that time has now grown into a big girl with a height of 1.72 meters, and is versatile and has become an excellent student of Cong Fei's alma mater, Shenyang Conservatory of Music.
Xing Dan's uncle also said that the youngest daughter, Xiao Congfei, must live with her grandparents, who have lost their daughters and can no longer lose their granddaughters. They are spiritual pillars to each other.
In addition, Xing Dan's parents decided to stay in Shenzhen to take care of Xiao CongFei, and Xiao CongFei did not disappoint his grandparents, from school to now, the grades have been at the top of the class, and as he grows older, Xiao CongFei is more sensible and more able to understand his parents' practices.
In addition to her grandparents, many people in the society are also concerned about her, including Cong Fei and Xing Dan's good friend Feng Changhong, Xiao Cong Fei did not regard Feng Changhong as an outsider, she cordially called Feng Changhong "aunt".
In Feng Changhong's Weibo, you can see the growth process of Xiao Congfei, and every year she will also take Xiao Congfei to visit the graves of his parents and fathers. Xiao Congfei also often followed Feng Changhong to volunteer.
When talking about Xiao Congfei, Feng Changhong does not feel that she is doing a good job, she believes that Xiao Congfei is not alone, she has the love of all walks of life, and it is her greatest wish to grow up like an ordinary child.
Xiao Congfei is also very grateful, on her aunt's birthday, she personally made a mushroom lamp for her aunt, and also went to buy a little red dress together.
From Feng Changhong's daily life shared by Xiao Congfei, we can see that Xiao Congfei is now versatile and her height has already exceeded 170cm, hoping that she can grow up healthy and happy under the care of the whole society.
