Zhang Fei, a 60-year-old woman who rummaged through the garbage dump and found waste products, began to "pick up" abandoned babies at the age of 23 and adopted more than 40 abandoned children in more than 40 years.
In order to take care of these children with peace of mind, she never married all her life, and made a living by picking up garbage, she regarded these children as her own, and dedicated all her energy and money to the children.
But her generosity did not bring gratitude from the children, who not only cut off contact with her when they grew up, but even wanted to ask her for money when they were living hard.
Why did she choose to give up her youth and become a single mother?
And when she saw the ugly faces of these people, did she regret it?
In order to raise a baby, he will not marry for life
On the morning of 1978, 23-year-old Zhang Fei was working when she heard a cry, which was very loud, and she walked to the source of the sound and found a baby.
This little baby was very special, his skin was snow-white, even his hair and eyelashes were white, and he was obviously suffering from albinism.
Zhang Fei's heart was very entangled, she couldn't bear to leave the baby in place, and after some entanglement, she made a bold decision to adopt the baby.
There is a first time, there is a second time, and the kind she opened the road of "picking up the baby".
In two years, she adopted 3 children, and her co-workers expressed their incomprehension about her approach, you know, Zhang Fei is only 25 years old, it is the prime of her youth, and her adoption of these children is undoubtedly ruining her good future.
Some people have said: You don't have a serious job, you can barely support yourself, how to live with these children, haven't you ever thought about starting a family?
In fact, Zhang Fei was once expected to enter a happy marriage, and a kind person helped her find a good family, but the other party married her on the condition of giving up these children.
After some struggle, she gave up the idea of getting married, she was reluctant to raise the children with her own hands, they were abandoned by their biological parents, and if she married, there would be no one to care about the life or death of these children.
When it comes to adopted children, Zhang Fei's face is filled with a happy smile, she cherishes every child she picks up, most of these children are abandoned by their parents because of congenital diseases.
She said that she would earn money or seek help from the society, and she would have to cure the children no matter what, and no one around her supported Zhang Fei's resolute attitude.
Everyone doesn't understand, what does she think, why does she have to give up a good life and raise these children?
Adoption of 40 children
Perhaps, from Zhang Fei's life experience, the reason why she adopted the child can be found.
She was born in 1955, abandoned by her parents since birth, fate favored her, she was adopted by a woman surnamed Wu, although the other party's family conditions were not good, but also tried their best to pull her up.
Therefore, when she encounters abandoned babies, she will always be soft-hearted, she is not only helping the children, but also helping her former self, and she has given these children the surname of her adoptive mother.
From one baby at the beginning, to ten, twenty, forty later, whenever she encounters a homeless child, she will bring the child home.
As more and more children were adopted, she couldn't make ends meet with the work she did, so she had no choice but to pick up garbage, and at that time, the children would follow her and pick up some waste.
With no fixed place to live, the family had to live in cramped sheds.
Forced by the biting cold in the north, Zhang Fei took the children to Guangdong and settled there, where the temperature is in spring and summer all year round, and winter is not so difficult.
The economy of Guangdong is relatively advanced, and many well-wishers have sent supplies after learning of her deeds to reduce the pressure on Zhang Fei's life.
Everyone praised her for her kindness, saying that she would definitely be rewarded.
Zhang Fei just smiled after hearing these words, she said that she adopted the children not to let them repay herself, but to see them pitiful, and she didn't want them to die early.
She treats these children as her own, and the money she earns is basically used to treat the children, and she is not willing to spend any of it.
In 2013, she rushed to the hospital with her four babies and, with the help of the hospital, launched a fundraiser to raise money for the children's treatment.
She gave generously to raise these children, but she failed to usher in a good reward.
Disconnected from his adoptive mother
Zhang Fei said that in the past few decades, she has raised more than 40 children, raised four college students, and some adult children have gone out to work.
In 2019, with only 14 young children left by her side, her deeds were noticed by the government, and the state exempted the children's tuition fees and gave them annual support.
With the help of the government, the housing problem was successfully solved, and the child's household registration problem was also solved.
Her kind deeds also made the news and were known by more people, and many caring people reached out to donate money and food.
But when she was interviewed again, she was a little distressed, and the reporter asked for some reason: You are famous, and there are more people willing to help, why are you still sad?
Zhang Fei said that she is very grateful for everyone's help, but she doesn't want to trouble everyone all the time, she will find a job to make a living, and the reason why she is distressed is that she is too famous.
Some people will deliberately abandon their children at the door of their own homes, but they cannot see their children suffering, so they can only find a way to find a home for these children.
The reporter then asked, have the children you raised repay your kindness?
Zhang Fei shook his head and said: After the children left, they basically cut off contact, and only one child who was adopted by a foreign couple before would often contact him.
According to the reporter's investigation, Zhang Fei successively adopted more than 40 abandoned babies, of which 28 children were raised by her, and these children not only did not repay the kindness of parenting.
On the contrary, after seeing that the old man had money, he took the initiative to call and ask the old man to buy them a car and a house, and if they had no money, these people would not contact their adoptive mother.

What she remembers most is a little girl, after being cured, the girl left, until the recent resumption of contact, most of the girls complained that there was no money to raise children, and asked Zhang Fei to borrow money.
However, there are also some children who will repay the kindness of their kindness and will give back for their nurturing.
In this regard, Zhang Fei said that when she adopted them, she just hoped that they could live well, and it didn't matter what they reciprocated.
She does not regret that she adopted these children, and she will continue to adopt other children within her ability and supervise their studies.

Zhang Fei thanked the country's policy for allowing her to raise these children, and she felt that it was a blessing to meet these children.
She is an excellent mother, and she will definitely be able to walk on the road of flowers in the future.
