When Li Daoxin first learned about Chunhui Children’s concepts, she was hit that orphaned children could and should be nurtured in a science-based professional way. Children like Little Hui had hope too. It would be possible for him to learn to speak, communicate, go to school, and maybe one day get married and have children. Over all these years, Li has helped a great many children like Hui. Some of these children have been adopted, and some have graduated from college.

In the welfare institution where Li Daoxin worked, there were several blind children. Each time Li went back from a business trip, she would creep up behind them and pat their shoulders. "Mama Li, you're back!" The children shouted with joy. Perhaps, that was one of the most loving moments they had. 

When Wan Wan first joined Chunhui Infant Nurture Program, the tiny little girl (weight 7.4 kg, and height 82cm) who was 7 years old looked no more than 3. She suffered from severe malnutrition and her belly swelled like a ball. 

Li Daoxin told mama Liu, who was taking care of Wan Wan, that there was hope for this girl. She could learn to walk and talk, so long as she would receive consistent appropriate care. As Li expected, mama Liu’s nurturing care for the girl brought miracles. Wan Wan began to transform. She learned to sit, walk, eat, and master some simple self-care skills. Then Li Daoxin and mama Liu began to give more attention to the girl’s language development, and they believed that soon she would learn to say the first word in her life: "Mama".

Li Daoxin has provided professional training for almost ten hundred Chunhui mamas. Under their loving care, more and more orphaned and disabled children have had miraculous changes. They have become lively and lovely, and some of them have been adopted. This drives Li to always move forward with passion and determination.

"If you are very young, seventeen or eighteen years old, care for the children like their elder sisters, if you are middle aged, mother them, and if you are as elderly as me, take them as your own grandchildren. They have been deprived of family care, and if you don't love them, no one will. I have been committed to them for 40 years. I know it's often challenging and frustrating. I feel helpless, vulnerable, and even desperate sometimes. But we all should be aware that once we decide to work with the children, we must make every effort to give them the best possible care. These children always need someone to take care of them. We are their hope, their light, and their mamas, ” Li says in her every training session.

Li’s love for her work has kept her from growing old. She has been so busy that she doesn’t seem to care how time flies. When asked: "When will you retire?" “Well, I am afraid no one will take over what I have been doing in all these years. They always say I worry too much. But I just won’t rest assured until I know the children are all put under the professional care of Chunhui mamas,” she answered. 

Like any other grandma who loves to do housework at home, she is often seen cleaning surfaces with a rag in the infant nurture room. Although she is getting on in years, she is still passionate about work. Unhappy about the reduction of workload for her, she says she wishes to go on business trips as she has always done, even at her own expense. 

When you look at such an elderly lady with loving eyes and big smiles, you will realize that there are always some people who, like the stars at night, brightens up the world for those struggling in the darkness. 

Every orphaned child has a chance at a bright future and happiness. Every front-line Chunhui mama, every trainer, and every one of you who works with Chunhui Children’s Foundation, all work together to create that chance for them. "Because of you, I am not alone," says Chunhui Children. "Perhaps, you are the reason why the children in the institutions and the elderly like Li Daoxin will not feel lonely anymore.
