Question

Read the given passage carefully and answer the questions:
1. Bai Fang Li, an uneducated rickshaw operator was working hard for most of his life just to survive. After a lifetime of backbreaking work, he wished to retire in 1987 at the age of 74. But something had happened and that made him willingly return to work: he saw poor children who could not afford school fees working in the fields. Bai made a decision that he would return to work and financially support the school fees of as many of these children as possible.
2. Bai worked 365 days a year in searing summer heat and freezing winter snow. He was a very normal man compared to others, but he worked for extremely long hours to support poor children in Tinjin, China by paying for their school fees at the Yaohua School. He never set a price for his rickshaw service, relying instead on his customer's generosity.
3. Bai might have earned more than other rickshaw operators because his customers liked him and probably felt sorry for him. Apart from keeping a modest amount to survive on, Bai put everything else towards needy children's education. He lived in a small room in a slum near the railway. He ate simple food and wore second-hand clothes. Despite his hardships, Bai was grateful for what he had and determined to support the poor children by giving them a proper education.
4. Bai decided to retire in 2001 when he was 90. On his last visit to the Yaohua School, he reluctantly told the teachers and students that he was too old and weak to operate his rickshaw and would not be able to make any more donations. They all cried. Bai died in poverty, a few years later in 2005 and many more people cried. However, Bai left an amazing legacy: he had donated around 350000 yuan to the Yaohua School over sixteen years. Bai did not know the children he had helped. It was enough for him to know that he was making a difference to their lives. More than 300 students that Bai supported are now adults and are now supporting other poor students. Bai's legacy lives on.
