Question

【題目】 Everyone expects to live a relaxing life after retirement（退休）, isn't it? However, this is not the case for Mr. Bai Fangli. In 1987, at the age of 74, he decided to continue working as a pedicab（三輪車(chē)）driver. But he didn’t work to make money for himself, but for the poor children who are not able to afford education. Once he started, he never stopped.

Life as a pedicab driver was not easy, but Bai kept working hard. Every day he went out in the early morning and wouldn't return until darkness. He made 20 to 30 yuan each day. After returning home, he put his money in a lunch box carefully. In almost twenty years Bai hardly bought any clothes or a pair of shoes for himself. He gave away all the money he made from his job. By the time he was 88, he had given away more than 350,000 yuan and helped more than 300 poor students return to school.

One winter in 2001, he drove his pedicab to Tianjin YaoHua Middle School and handed 500 yuan to a teacher. He said, “I cannot work anymore, and this is the last money I can give to help others.” 4 years later, he got lung cancer and died when he was 92.
