Facility built on personal savings and love raises hundreds of deprived youngsters, many of whom grow up to attend university
A Chinese man who used his savings to support a free shelter for 348 “orphans” over the past 17 years has moved many people online.
Huang Meisheng, 65, founded De Ren Garden, a house for orphans and children who do not receive proper care from their families, in 2008 in Fenyi County, Jiangxi province, eastern China.
Huang became a teacher at 20 and a secondary school headmaster 10 years later.
At the age of 40, he became the deputy director of Fenyi Education Bureau and headmaster of a local primary school.
