In February 1949, under the red flag, Li Chunping was born in Huai'an, Jiangsu Province, in a family full of revolutionary spirit. His father, Li Jiabao, devoted himself to the revolutionary struggle as early as 1936 and was a time-tested Red Army soldier.
Due to the needs of the revolutionary cause, Li Chunping spent most of his childhood in Fujian. In 1965, with his father's transfer to Beijing, the Li family moved to the capital, where Li Chunping was able to receive a high-quality education and study at Beijing's famous 110 Middle School.
However, who would have expected that Li Chunping, who was born in a red family, had a bright future, but suffered a major turning point in his life in 1977. That year, he was dismissed from his unit because of conflicts with others, and he was subjected to three years of re-education through labor.
For a second-generation red generation, being sentenced undoubtedly threw him down the road to a bright future and put him in a difficult situation in life. The glory of the past vanished in an instant, leaving only endless loss and confusion.
What is even more tragic is that in order to protect the future of the other four children in the family, Li Chunping's parents had to make a difficult choice and cut off the family ties with this "socially outcast" son.
Overnight, Li Chunping went from the second generation of the red to a homeless wanderer, and began a miserable life of displacement and begging. All the privileges he once had were in vain in an instant, as if Heaven was intent on teaching him a heavy lesson.
However, more brutal blows followed. As Li Chunping picks up waste on the streets and rummages through garbage cans, fate once again ruthlessly swings its sword at him – he unfortunately contracted hepatitis.
Hepatitis has brought great pain and suffering to all parts of Li Chunping's body, and he desperately wants to be able to go to the hospital immediately for medical treatment, but he has no choice but to pay for his medical expenses.
Life seems to have pushed Li Chunping into a dead end, pushing him into the abyss of despair. It stands to reason that at this point, people tend to feel helpless, and all that awaits them is a scrawny corpse covered in a worn-out roll of straw mats.
However, Li Chunping did not lose confidence because of this, because he knew that he still had one last hole card - excellent appearance.
The high bridge of the nose, the deep eyes, the blazing eyes and the curly hair are all the brilliant crystallization of Li Chunping's blood, the fusion of Eastern and Western genes. There is no doubt that this excellent face that combines Chinese and Western styles will surely become his final and most critical bargaining chip for counterattack life.
The torture of hepatitis made Li Chunping suffer a lot, and he could not afford medical expenses for treatment. In the face of the gradual passing of life, his heart was full of despair, but he never gave up his vision and pursuit of the future.
At this moment, Li Chunping resolutely decided to use his only advantage, his outstanding appearance, to change his fate. After all, he has an excellent appearance with a perfect fusion of Eastern and Western genes, which is undoubtedly the supreme grace bestowed on him by God.
So, Li Chunping dressed himself up in the most neat outfit, changing his sloppy image in the past. In an instant, he seemed to have transformed into a hot "beautiful man" in modern Korean dramas.
The moment he stepped into Beijing's famous landmark, the Beijing Hotel, undoubtedly attracted everyone's attention.
As a top hotel, Beijing Hotel brings together VIPs from all over the world, and it is undoubtedly an excellent platform for Li Chunping. He often waits quietly by the café in the hotel lobby, his eyes wandering around from time to time, hoping to meet a foreign beauty and seize an opportunity to change his fate.
Whenever a foreign woman walks by, Li Chunping always takes the initiative to talk without hesitation, eager to use this opportunity to realize his dream of going abroad and open a new chapter in his life. However, every time he tried to get his wish, he not only failed to convince the other party, but was even almost evicted by the hotel security guard many times.
However, Li Chunping was not discouraged by this. As a person who is in a difficult situation but still has hope, he is more and more courageous, and more unswervingly looking for the ideal "prey" in his heart.
Finally, on a hot summer day in 1979, God finally lived up to this young man who was obsessed with chasing his dreams. An old American woman with peerless elegance and jewels was deeply attracted by Li Chunping's handsome and extraordinary appearance as soon as she stepped into the Beijing Hotel.
It turned out that Li Chunping was unexpectedly strikingly similar to the old woman's young beloved, and at the first moment of witnessing him, the warm emotions hidden in the old woman's heart surged like a frenzy, and the endless yearning and expectation prompted her to yearn to rekindle the beautiful love song that had long been dusty.
What is different from the past is that this time, it was the old woman who took the initiative to extend an olive branch to Li Chunping, and extremely enthusiastically invited this "dream lover" to become his "relative" in the United States, and even did not hesitate to give everything she had, and made a solemn promise to give him all-round material security.
In the face of this old American woman, Li Chunping, this energetic young man, may have hesitated for a moment, but when this opportunity to change the trajectory of his life came, he did not hesitate to grasp it tightly.
Leaving his hometown and stepping into the unknown world should have been a broad road to a better future for Li Chunping. With the hope of regaining a happy life, he followed the enthusiastic old American woman without hesitation, leaving his homeland and embarking on a new journey to a foreign land.
However, the world is unpredictable, and none of the old woman's previous promises have been fulfilled after Li Chunping arrived in the United States. The affluent life that he once dreamed of was fleeting and vanished.
In the United States, Li Chunping once again fell into a difficult life. He had to travel around in Chinatown in search of a living, working in low-level jobs such as washing dishes and washing pots, and barely making ends meet on a meager salary.
The old woman who had described to Li Chunping a luxurious life like a "canary" ended up becoming an empty talk, which undoubtedly deeply pierced Li Chunping's heart and filled his heart with disappointment and resentment.
In fact, this mysterious old American woman turned out to be an internationally renowned Hollywood superstar. For some reason, she secretly observed and tested Li Chunping for a long time, and finally was impressed by his kind character and decided to fully integrate him into her life.
However, before that, Li Chunping's various hardships in a foreign country really made him taste the warmth and coldness of human affection and suffer from the torments of life. I remember that while working in the UK, he was unfortunately in a car accident, but he was discriminated against and abandoned by white drivers because of his oriental face.
Helpless, Li Chunping had to walk alone on the road to the hospital, hoping to be treated here, but the ruthless fate once again pushed him into the abyss - he was snubbed and discriminated against by British doctors, and even his wounds were only rough and he was kicked out of the clinic!
For Li Chunping, this is not only a physical trauma, but also a heavy blow to the depths of his soul and a great insult to his dignity.
In the end, Li Chunping could no longer bear such humiliation, he could only pack up his broken luggage and resolutely embark on the long journey back to his hometown. He thought that this departure would mean a permanent farewell to the United States, but who would have expected that the old American woman who had promised him a lot of money would unswervingly look for his traces after his departure.
Penniless and with nowhere to live, Li Chunping had no choice but to follow the old woman's footsteps again and embark on a flight to the United States, hoping to change his life against the sky in this strange land and find the long-awaited place to settle down.
It turned out that the mysterious old woman who invited Li Chunping to the United States turned out to be an internationally renowned Hollywood superstar. The reason why she failed to fulfill her promise when Li Chunping first arrived in the United States was actually because she decided to observe and test him for a period of time after careful consideration.
During this period, Hollywood superstars examined Li Chunping's personality qualities with great patience. She hopes to gain insight into the young man's true face and determine whether he is a mercenary villain or a speculator with bad intentions.
In the end, Li Chunping's kind nature deeply touched and conquered the superstar. She was attracted by the inner beauty of this young man's generosity and simplicity, so she took off all her guards and showed her tolerance and generosity.
The superstar not only invited Li Chunping to live in her luxurious estate, but also allowed him to live a privileged life like a "canary" from then on, realizing his dream of following him to the United States.
Over the next decade, Li Chunping treated the aging superstar with respect and dedication. He cooks delicious meals for the superstar, provides daily professional massages to relieve her old age, and most importantly, he waits at the superstar's bed every night to make sure she sleeps peacefully.
The movie star's praise and trust in Li Chunping have far exceeded the expectations of an ordinary elderly person for a full-time caregiver. The deep friendship between these two people is not just the relationship between the "old man and the servant", but the harmonious coexistence of a mother and son.
It wasn't until the last month of the movie star's life that she solemnly included Li Chunping in her husband's ranks.
On his deathbed, the world-renowned Hollywood superstar generously gifted Li Chunping most of his billion-dollar fortune in the form of a will, as a way to express his deep gratitude for his selfless care over the years.
For Li Chunping, this sudden huge inheritance is undoubtedly an unimaginable gift from God.
When Li Chunping learned that he had unexpectedly obtained a huge inheritance of up to 7 billion yuan from the Hollywood movie star, his heart was undoubtedly greatly shocked.
As an ordinary person from an ordinary background, he really couldn't imagine that he would one day have such an amazing wealth.
The estate includes three top-of-the-line Rolls-Royce limousines, an ingenious Buckingham Palace design mansion worth up to 800 million yuan, a number of real estate properties in Manhattan, New York, and four precious paintings of Van Gogh and Picasso.
Possessing such a huge wealth is enough for Li Chunping, a former homeless man, to live a carefree and luxurious life, satisfying his endless yearning and fantasy for a rich life in his childhood.
However, after his success, Li Chunping was not deceived by money and glory.
Instead, with a heart of gratitude, he decided to dedicate much of his legacy to charity to help restore hope and vitality to those in distress and in dire need.
Since 2001, Li Chunping has embarked on his 23-year philanthropic journey.
These donations have supported countless poor families and individuals who are in a similar situation to Li Chunping and are in urgent need of assistance, including poor students, patients with serious illnesses, and firefighters who have made significant contributions to the country and the people.
It is no exaggeration to say that every donation of Li Chunping is like charcoal in the snow, bringing warmth and hope to these people who need help the most.
What is amazing is that Mr. Li Chunping's outstanding contribution has not only been affirmed by the highest honor of "the first person to be a charity in the century", but more importantly, he has become the first philanthropist in the history of the Red Cross Society of China to receive this honor!
In the generous charitable donation activities, Li Chunping has always adhered to a firm principle: that is, to let every donation directly benefit the people in need of assistance, like a selfless dedication in the snow, to bring them the most tangible and direct warmth and support.
Therefore, whenever the subsidy is carried out, Li Chunping always does it himself, holding a heavy bundle of cash in his own hands and handing it directly to the hands of the recipients. In this most direct and sincere way, he expresses his love, and strives to make every penny give full play to the value and truly benefit those who live in difficult conditions and have poor family finances.
Although some netizens questioned Li Chunping's overly high-profile behavior, thinking that he might have other plans. However, Li Chunping frankly said that the reason why he chose to do this is to prevent corruption in the funding process, which will damage the interests of the donors.
By handing out cash directly, he is able to ensure that the donations flow 100% accurately to the final beneficiaries, so that everyone in need can get tangible benefits from it.
Li Chunping's donations cover a wide range of topics, whether it is students from poor families, patients with serious illnesses, special groups, or disabled firefighters, he does not neglect them, but does his best to provide assistance.
In particular, he has set up a special fire fund to fund firefighters who are disabled in the line of duty, to ensure that these heroes who once sacrificed their lives for the country and the people can still be properly housed and cared for after being injured, and will no longer be reduced to homeless people begging on the streets like he did when he was young.
It is precisely because of this unwavering broad-mindedness that Li Chunping has won the respect and love of countless people on the road of donation. He compensated for all the cold treatment and hurt he had experienced in the past in his charity, and gave back to the society and benefited the people with practical actions.
There is no doubt that if he had not experienced that bleak situation, Li Chunping would not have been able to deeply appreciate the extreme despair and helplessness faced by a vulnerable group until he died. It is because of that personal experience that he is able to devote himself wholeheartedly and dedication to giving back his wealth to the public.
Therefore, although a huge amount of funds of up to 590 million yuan has been donated, Li Chunping still sticks to his original intention, unswervingly seeks and assists more people in urgent need, and will never give up halfway.
With his tenacious efforts, the non-governmental charity donation cause is continuing to develop, making our society more harmonious and beautiful.
