It immediately caught the eyes of KOSUN’s staff when the media reported on August 29 that Fang Wenchang, the dwarf father walked 600 miles to Xi’an on foot for treating his cerebral-palsied son whom he pushed along all the way. The staff soon voluntarily donated money for the purpose of helping the father and son. On September 1, several staff on behalf of all handed the donations to Fang personally.

KOSUN’s staff, who comes to visit Longlong talks with his nurse in the Children’s Hospital, Sep 1.

The 51-year-old Fang, only as tall as 4.5 foot, has been born and bred as a peasant in Yonghe Town, Zhengning County, Gansu. His family is almost impoverished because not only is he disabled and unable to work, but his wife and son are seriously ill as well. On August, 2013, Fang, taking the 100 RMB collected by his neighbors, embarked upon the arduous journey to Xi’an Children’s Hospital for the purpose of sending his son to see the doctor. In order to reduce the traveling expenses, he spent 20 days walking 300 km and pushing his son by a perambulator to the hospital. It was diagnosed that Longlong had contracted equines. That was why his heels were unable to touch the ground and had difficulty communicating. Selective posterior rhizotomy operation had to be done to let him back to his feet, which however, was too costly for Fang to afford.

KOSUN’s staff hands the donated 860 RMB to Fang Changwen, Sep 1.

It caught the attention of KOSUN’ s staff immediately when the media reported about the story. On August 31, they organized a donation activity in the hope to help the Fang and Longlong get over and they collected around 860 RMB in total. The next day, several staff on behalf of the company went to Children’s Hospital and handed the donation to Fang personally.

Touched Fang Wenchang thanks the staff many times, holding the donation in hands.

Though the disease is relentless, the world is still full of love. Apart from the donations given by KOSUN’ s staff, many other loving people did their bit by donating some money, too. As drops of water may form a giant river, Fang has been given donations valued as over 13,000 RMB within 6 short days by Sep 3. Longlong had the first operation yesterday morning and is now in convalescence. And it was predicted that he would soon be able to walk as normal.

A wonderful world can be built up if we all contribute our bits of love, which have changed the fate of a family and a diseased child within 6 short days and also have given them a new lease of life.
