Shanghai is wide and thunderous, handsome and golden, with Porsche, and has 3 sets of Shanghai luxury houses. has a small company, has a stable relationship with his girlfriend, and has reached the peak of his life at the age of 30.

But the life that should have been smooth was ruined by him!

In order to adopt more than 2,000 stray dogs, the luxury car and mansion were sold, the girlfriend was divided, and even the parents gave up. At the age of 46, he became ill from overwork, and more than 100 nodules appeared in his lungs, and finally lost his life!

Why did he do such a thing to a stray dog, and what are the untold stories behind it?

Natural disasters

In July 2020, torrential rains continued to fall in a large mountain in Anhui Province, triggering flash floods and mudslides.

The Chang'an Pet Rescue Base, located at the foot of the mountain, was not spared and was all flooded.

After a night of rescue, Yu Leiming, the owner of the base, finally rescued all the more than 2,000 dogs in the early morning of the next day, and none of them died.

It took more than a month for Chang'an Pet Base to recover from the disaster. But the good times didn't last long, and bad luck soon struck again.

In January 2021, Yu Leiming went out to buy pet supplies, but he didn't expect that his home would be gone after he came back, and the entire base was surrounded by fire.

After reporting the fire, he immediately went to fetch water to extinguish the fire, but unfortunately the water pipe was frozen and there was no water at all.

In order to save the furry children, Yu Leiming ran into the fire alone, and in this way, he rescued thousands of dogs one by one, and caused himself to be seriously burned.

The accidental fire also cost the base a full 30,000 yuan, and all dog food, quilts, and dog supplies were burned. However, in addition to these natural disasters, he also has to beware of "man-made disasters".

A few years ago, a 65-year-old single aunt adopted hundreds of furry children, but was maliciously set on fire to all the dogs when she was out.

When she returned, she was left with only swarthy dog carcasses.

This news also caused a lot of controversy at the time, and Yu Leiming spent a lot of money to equip the base with cameras in order to prevent the wicked from sabotaging and protecting the safety of the dogs.

But even that didn't stop the bad guys from wreaking.

When I didn't move to the mountains before, the address of the base was generally built in a small village, far away from the crowd, and the dog couldn't hurt people, and people couldn't hurt the dog.

Even so, the bullies in those villages did not let him go, and came to beat him from time to time.

Yu Leiming is also afraid that others will be injured by dogs, so most of the dogs are caged, which also gives those bad guys a chance.

When the base was empty, they not only wreaked havoc, but also stole some valuable things from the base. This is not over, and then the wicked people sued first, and a phone call complained about the base.

But no matter how hard it was, he didn't give up.

Every time he was short of money, Yu Leiming sold a house, and in this way, 3 suites and several luxury cars were finally lost.

This money is far from enough, the monthly consumption of dog food alone has reached about 15 tons, plus dog supplies, vaccines, various deworming drugs and various living expenses, it will be 100,000 yuan a month, and millions a year.

Even the insurance that my parents bought was replaced with money, and it was all used to raise dogs.

Compared with the delicacy of the dog, Yu Leiming lives like a beggar.

As long as you spend money on the dog, no matter how expensive it is, you can buy it, but when you get to it, you can make a living.

The waistband of his pants is big, and he would rather be tied with an infusion tube than spend money to buy a belt. I didn't even buy the clothes and shoes on my body, and I just picked up my friend's old clothes to wear.

In order to reduce expenses, everything he can do will never cost someone to do it, so Yu Leiming was forced by life to learn a lot of crafts: repairing water pipes, repairing sewers, and electricians.

After many years of sewing and mending, the dogs are alive and well, but he ......

The final countdown

16 years of taking care of the dogs day and night, making him feel haggard, standing with his peers, Yu Leiming is like an old man who is over the age of six.

Not only is it old on the outside, but even on the inside is a bunch of injuries: kidney stones, stomach problems, lumbar discs, and so on.

But even if he has changed from a handsome guy to a white-haired uncle, he will never regret it: he is willing to do everything he can, just to give them a home to eat when they are hungry, to rely on when they are sick, and to return to when they die!

However, he treated everything in this world kindly, but he did not receive kindness from others.

Since 2022, his body has begun to deteriorate, and for the sake of the more than 2,000 dogs, Yu Leiming stubbornly endured not to look at it, but he didn't expect that there would be a big problem with this forbearance.

Since the beginning of 2023, he has been coughing non-stop, and in just a few months, he suddenly lost 20 pounds, and his body was so thin that he was left with a skeleton to support him.

Until June, he coughed up blood, and the employees were so frightened that they tied him directly to the hospital, and the results of the examination directly shocked everyone.

There were more than 100 nodules on the CT scan of the lungs, and it was even possible to become cancerous, and the doctor recommended hospitalization. But Yu Leiming refused.

"If I'm hospitalized, what will happen to the dogs, I'll have to stay with them. ”

"Doctor, please help prescribe a medicine, I will definitely take the medicine on time at home. ”

In the midst of everyone's opposition, he resolutely returned to the base to accompany the furry children.

However, the worst feared thing happened.

After returning to the base, Yu Leiming lived a good life for a few days without incident.

I thought that his condition would gradually improve, but I didn't want to make a big reversal directly, and the medicine didn't work after 5 days, and even the more I took it, the more serious it became.

Not only did it have difficulty breathing, but I couldn't breathe, but I even ate as much food as I vomited, and I had a high fever all the time. Until July 22, Yu Leiming was taken to the hospital because he couldn't breathe.

As soon as I arrived at the hospital, I was directly pushed to the ICU, with tubes inserted all over my body, and I also issued multiple critical illness notices in a row.

Looking at the man lying on the bed, breathing weakly, it was hard to imagine that he was once a handsome guy.

A node that changes fate

Yu Leiming, a rich second generation in Shanghai, as the only child in the family, can be said to be a collection of thousands of pets.

When he graduated and looked for a job, his parents gave him a Porsche scooter without saying a word, and opened a company with a wave of money.

Even in 2007, when he was 30 years old, he received three of the best houses in Shanghai from his parents.

Not only has a successful career, but also has a girlfriend who is about to get married, and the future is limitless, but it unexpectedly changes the trajectory of his life.

Yu Leiming has a pet - the dog Xiao Ai, who has raised it for more than ten years, and the relationship between them is quite deep.

Suddenly, one day, Xiao Ai disappeared, searched all over the streets and alleys, sent thousands of dog-finding revelations, and still couldn't find it.

And in the process of searching, he also picked up a dog that was hit by a car. It was badly wounded, with multiple fractures all over its body, and it cost seven or eight thousand to treat it alone.

On the way to find his beloved dog, he saw too many stray animals that had been tortured and killed, and had nowhere to go. This made the dog lover Yu Leiming grief-stricken, and then he made a decision that would affect his life.

Embark on the "point of no return"?

"I want to save stray animals!"

Rescuing stray animals is a big undertaking that requires a lot of manpower, energy and money.

In line with the mentality of being responsible for the hairy children, Yu Leiming not only transferred the company, but also sold all the real estate and RVs in his hands.

In this way, Chang'an Animal Rescue Base was born.

And as more and more stray animals were adopted, he began to be a little busy alone.

In this way, Yu Leiming hired several employees to rescue stray animals with him.

Slowly, the stray dog team grew to more than 2,000 dogs.

As soon as there are many dogs, the biggest problem becomes apparent.

A few, a dozen put together, the barking is already very noisy, not to mention the concept of more than 2,000 dogs barking together.

Obviously, the rented factory in the city is not usable, because the nuisance people don't know how many times they have been complained.

He had no choice but to start moving to the suburbs, under the scorching sun, he arranged to cage one by one, and finally moved to the suburbs, but he didn't wait to slow down, and a few days later he was complained about and was asked to be forced to relocate.

In the past year, Yu Leiming moved 3 or 4 times, and the relocation fees alone cost hundreds of thousands.

You can't keep moving around, not to mention that people can't stand the dogs and they're about to die, and suddenly he thought of a good idea.

Wouldn't it be better to move directly to a remote mountainous area away from the crowds.

Just do it, the previous savings were almost spent, and Yu Leiming sold the only remaining wedding house in his hand.

With money, I was about to change places, but I didn't expect my girlfriend to suddenly come to the door.

"Yu Leiming, are you crazy? What do you think you think of me as you sell our wedding house?"

"Look at you now, for the sake of those dogs, do you still have a little bit of human appearance? In that case, you can go over with your dogs, and we will part ways!"

While feeling sad about his girlfriend's incomprehension, he felt that he really shouldn't delay people in his current state, so the two broke up peacefully.

After losing his worries, Yu Leiming put all his focus on the dog, and after a week of site selection and investigation, he finally moved to a mountain in Anhui.

Surrounded by mountains and rivers, you don't have to worry about disturbing the people, and it is also convenient to walk your dog.

And the Chang'an base is also well arranged.

Large dogs are afraid of fighting, so each dog is divided into territories, and small dogs are kept free range if they are docile.

There is also a special quarantine area for those furry children who have not been vaccinated.

The health of the base is also strictly controlled by special personnel, who regularly clean up dog feces, disinfect and deworm.

Under Yu Leiming's careful care, the stray dogs have also become chubby, and their personalities have changed from the previous sensitive and fierce to friendly and docile.

16 years are fleeting, and the life of the hairy children is painful and happy.

Living with animals in the mountains, the days of freedom are so beautiful, but all the energy spent on taking care of the dogs is too stressful, so that the body is gradually breaking down.

This also makes Yu Leiming, who is only in his 40s, look like an old man in his 60s.

And due to the long period of overwork, his body has already been riddled with holes.

The last words were exposed, causing tears

Yu Leiming, who was lying on the hospital bed, looked depressed, if it weren't for the fact that his chest was still a little undulating, he would have thought that he was no longer there.

Only when talking about the furry children at the aid station, he will respond with a "um, ah" or two.

On August 5, Yu Leiming left only one sentence "Help me take good care of those hairy children", and passed away at the age of 46.

And everyone couldn't help but burst into tears when they saw the news he left on his mobile phone before his death.

Baby, Dad is also going to Wang Xing to accompany you, and the only thing that can't be relieved is you on the earth.

And Yu Leiming's mother also sobbed:

Thanks to the donations from well-wishers, my son has passed away and there is no need to continue donating. The balance will be used for the furry children according to their wishes.

brief summary

Although Yu Leiming left the dogs and went to heaven, I believe that there are many people in the world who are just like him and are also caring for the little animals.

And now the Chang'an rescue base has found a caring person to take over-Aunt Shanshan.

She not only takes good care of these furry children, but also shares their daily life with everyone in the live broadcast room.

I hope that when you encounter stray dogs, do not hurt them, if you have the ability and like small animals, you can take the initiative to adopt, do not be sure to take the rabies vaccine!

If you don't like to be afraid of cats and dogs, please help make a rescue call and let someone who specializes in rescuing stray animals take over. Thank you
