Currently, there are still 13 children living together with Zhang Fei. With partial help from the government, her family has a three-bedroom and two-living-room house, and the children have also registered their hukou (household registration). Currently, the government gives her about 500-600 yuan welfare subsidy per month, but life is still relatively tough. However, she has not given up adopting abandoned babies. The hydrocephalus infant brought to Guangzhou for treatment this time was picked up by her more than two months ago.

Voice: If I don't adopt these babies, I am worried they might be in danger.
"There is an old lady at the Armed Police Hospital who brought several children here for medical treatment. All these children were abandoned babies that she picked up." Yesterday, a citizen tipped off our newspaper that an old lady from Puning, Jieyang, has been insisting on adopting abandoned babies for twenty or thirty years. She has successively adopted more than thirty abandoned babies. Recently, with the sponsorship of kind-hearted people, she brought her sick children to Guangzhou for medical treatment.
Zhang Fei is fifty-six years old and has never married.
The boundless love of the "waste-picking mother" has saved more than thirty little lives; however, the people who sponsored them to come to Guangzhou for treatment are also doing "small kindnesses". Society needs more sunshine, more such "great love" and "small kindness".
When Wu Min was only two years old, Zhang Fei wandered to Anhui for livelihood and picked up another female baby in Bengbu. Since then, Zhang Fei started her journey of adopting abandoned babies.
"I was originally adopted as well. When I was very young, Mother Wu adopted me and told me that I am from Shandong." Zhang Fei introduced that before the age of ten, she lived with her adoptive mother in Jiangsu, but later moved to Fujian for livelihood due to financial difficulties. Unfortunately, her adoptive mother passed away.
She has adopted more than thirty abandoned babies and raised them up.
Current Situation: Kind-hearted people help bring five children to Guangzhou for treatment. Welcome to publish comments. I want to comment.
Joyful small kindness
Recently, a special mother and her five children came to the Guangdong Armed Police Corps Hospital. The mother's name is Zhang Fei, and she brought her five sick children here for treatment. The oldest child is eight years old this year, and the youngest is only two months old. They are all abandoned babies picked up by Zhang Fei successively. Yesterday, reporters visited the Guangdong Armed Police Corps Hospital and interviewed this special mother to understand her story of persistently adopting abandoned babies over the years. Since thirty years ago when Zhang Fei adopted her first female abandoned baby, she has become the mother of more than thirty abandoned babies. Currently, thirteen children still live with her in a special big family.
"I never thought about adopting abandoned babies when I was young." Zhang Fei said, but after adopting her eldest daughter Wu Min, her originally imagined life underwent a complete change. "This is a life. If we don't pick them up, they may starve to death." Zhang Fei said that when going out to collect waste at night, she often found abandoned babies under bridges, by the roadside, even in garbage piles. As long as she sees them, she will take the children home, regardless of any congenital defects the children may have.
What is called accumulating small kindnesses to achieve great virtue, welcome readers to call and "report" good deeds around them.
Narration: Adopted when young
Her face is full of wrinkles, and she looks older than her actual age. Aunt Dai, the nurse, said that these days she (Zhang Fei) has been exhausted. According to informants, not long ago, after the Guangdong Public Welfare Foundation learned about Zhang Fei's situation, they contacted the Guangdong Armed Police Corps Hospital and arranged for Zhang Fei to bring her sick children to Guangzhou for treatment.
The old lady's name is "Zhang Fei", but her ID card shows that she is only 56 years old. At noon yesterday, when the reporter entered the ward of the Armed Police Hospital, Zhang Fei was resting by leaning on the iron railing of the bed. Her son, Wu Xingxing, who had just undergone cleft lip and palate surgery, was lying on the bed. There were also four other children in the ward, among whom the youngest was only more than two months old.
The elderly woman has never married and has lived in Puning, Jieyang for more than twenty years, but she is not a local person. She settled down in Puning more than twenty years ago after wandering there.
Although life is relatively difficult, she has not given up adopting abandoned babies.
At around the age of 20, Zhang Fei returned to her adoptive mother's hometown, Xuzhou. "In the year I was 26, I adopted my first abandoned baby." Zhang Fei recalled that at the time, someone suggested on the scene, "Why don't you take her in, Zhang Fei?" A joke-like suggestion made the unmarried Zhang Fei become a single mother, naming the adopted female abandoned baby "Wu Min", surnamed Wu to commemorate her adoptive mother.
