80-year-old Van Vanlin from the city of Hanzhou, the province of Zhejiang (China), devoted his life to the salvation of homeless children. Since 1979, he sheltered and helped more than 700 children, providing them with food, shelter and the opportunity to return to his families. This is written by SCMP.

Van first helped a teenager who met on the street on a cold evening. The 15-year-old boy escaped from the coal mine, where he was lured by deception. Van sheltered him, fed him and soon bought a train ticket home. This case was a turning point in his life and laid the foundation for his noble mission.

Van’s youth was promising: he was admitted to the state troupe of singers and dancers. However, his fate changed after a false accusation of theft, which led to 16 years of correctional labor. After liberation in 1978, he found work in a packaging factory, but never forgot about the difficulties that he experienced. This prompted him to help the children who found themselves in trouble.

Since then, Van has found homeless children, providing them with refuge and paying tickets home. For those who could not return to families, he became a foster father. He sometimes lived in his apartment up to 20 children at the same time. The only thing he asked in return was a letter with confirmation that the child is safe.

One of the children saved by Van was Yu Hui. In 1998, a 12-year-old boy went in search of work, but was involved in a criminal group. Van helped him escape, fed and bought a ticket home. Upon learning that Yu cannot continue their studies because of the poverty of the family, he invited his parents to send the boy back to Hangzhou to be educated. Yu graduated from a professional school, worked in Shanghai, and then built a house for his family.

In 2022, Yu returned to Hangzhou to take care of Van, who was left alone. Now he controls the beauty salon and monitors the health of his adoptive father, showing the same care that he once received.

Van stores letters and photographs of all 700 children whom he supported. His actions aroused admiration among users of the network, and Yu even tried to find other adoptive children Van using a video message.

“Van is a man with a huge heart, like his“ son ”Yu,” said one of the Internet users.
