Kind acts reflect core values

Last year, I was lucky enough to interview several really interesting people. They were not officials or experts, and what made them headline stars was that they lived interesting lives in accordance with their values.

They had all persisted with one thing for decades, which brought them constant happiness.

Zhang Xiaoli, a 64-year-old ragman from Aksu prefecture, Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, has been collecting books from recycling stations for 20 years. It was hard for him to get books during his childhood, so he decided to establish his own library. So far, it has received about 50,000 readers.
