According to Chengshang Daily, Wang Leehom uses 90% of his money for charity, only a small part of it is used to make music, and it is other people’s money to make movies. The Bible says, “Where your treasure is, there your heart is.” It is enough to see Leehom Wang’s energy and ambition to put into charity. Speaking of “charity”, Leehom Wang has endless topics, in addition to donations, Leehom Wang has also adopted 20 children, and after that, he will continue to adopt.
Growing up in a Christian family, Leehom Wang has enjoyed the love of the Lord Jesus since he was a child, and he has seen the precious spirit of Christians from his parents, which has shaped his beautiful qualities – humility, punctuality, and love for those in need with the love of Christ.
At the same time, according to the Christian Daily, Wang Leehom and World Vision in Taiwan visited Laos to visit 10 of his sponsored children. As a Christian, Leehom Wang said that he believed that this trip was God’s best arrangement.
“700 yuan a month, change the lives of two people!”
“The future of children is with us!”
“Changing yourself and changing the world starts with sponsoring children!” and other profound and touching words are all from Wang Leehom’s own thoughts, and the stories he brought back have touched many readers on the Internet. Teachers and people who have gone online have left messages saying that these stories can give a lot of inspiration to the new generation of young people, and even hope to use them as classroom teaching materials to help students understand the plight of life in different regions. At present, from Thanksgiving to Christmas, more than 4,500 people have decided to join the subsidized children program because of Leehom Wang’s call, and more than 5,080 people have called to inquire about the funding program.
For the first time, I went to a remote and backward village, met the children I sponsored, talked with them, played games, and played the guitar. After leaving Laos, what has been hovering in Wang Leehom’s mind is the picture and touching of getting along with children; every child has a distressing story, especially 7-year-old Kapwa, who has no parents and works hard to take care of his own life, which is the most unforgettable for him. Wang Leehom smiled and said: “Actually, Kapwa’s courage in life is my hero and idol. Kakava’s parents went to Thailand to work and stayed with his brother at his uncle’s house. Along the way, Kapowa will always take the initiative to come and hold his hand; Kapowa often goes into the woods alone to find food and catch crickets, his independence and bravery, so that Wang Leehom, who has been in a privileged environment since childhood, feels admiration and respect, “I have seen many billionaires, but none of my personality traits make me feel so profound and so moved!”
7-year-old Ah Fei is the child who makes Wang Leehom pay the most attention. When he first saw Ah Fei, Wang Leehom felt a little frustrated, because how to tease this child is not to smile, but to look cool, more of inferiority complex and shyness. It turned out that his family was the poorest of the poor farmers in the area. In order to get closer to Ah Fei, Wang Leehom did his best, taking the children to play skipping rope, playing wave dance, and turning in circles, when Ah Fei took off his guard, showed a smile on his face, and was willing to let him hug him, Wang Leehom was very happy, and the smile on his face was brighter than Ah Fei.
The story of a staff member of the World Vision Council in Laos also deeply touched Leehom Wang, who loves music. The staff member, who was not left-handed, plucked the guitar with his left hand, had been poor when he was a child and had injured his right hand while doing housework, and had been unable to play the guitar again. He prayed to God and began to learn to pluck the strings with his left hand, but he didn’t expect to play beautiful music. The place where this staff member grew up was World Vision’s first funding program in Laos. Wang Leehom said, “I think I have seen here that many things are not impossible!” especially in the areas that were originally very poor, after the help of World Vision, they have made great changes.
Leehom Wang’s humility, dedication and love during the trip also touched the staff of World Vision who were also very moved. Wang Leehom not only invested his true feelings into every child he sponsored and their families, carefully sniped the materials prepared by the prospecting club in advance, and constantly asked the staff about the local work situation on the spot, more often acting as an English translator, without the slightest star frame, even if there was no photographic lens, he still silently unloaded the luggage for the media and staff of his peers.
About World Vision: World Vision is a Christian rescue, development and advocacy service that works with children, families and communities to overcome poverty and injustice, inspired by the values of Christ, World Vision works with those most in need around the world, regardless of religion, race, color or gender.
After returning to Taiwan, he insisted on keeping a mood diary on his own, hoping to express what he saw in more detail. When he attended the Golden Horse Awards ceremony, he wore a dress, and the next day he made a TV announcement calling for sponsorship for children, while he insisted on changing into a World Vision T-shirt, facing two completely different scenes, he said, “I like to wear the World Vision T-shirt to promote the World Vision, because it makes me feel like a real volunteer!” 700 yuan a month, changing the lives of two people! Wang Leehom invited everyone to make a small change in life, which can make a big difference in the world. “As long as 700 yuan a month, joining the Sponsorship Program for Children will not only change the children of the world but also your future!”
Throughout the trip, Leehom Wang’s enthusiasm and love, humility and seriousness for children have been witnessed by many people, but Leehom Wang attributed all this glory to God, he said: “This trip is God’s best arrangement. President Du Minghan of Taiwan’s World Vision Association also testified: “In Wang Leehom, I saw a high-quality young man with very good personality traits, and I also felt the beautiful mark of Christianity on him!”
“In Leehom Wang, I saw a high-quality young man with a very good personality, and I also felt the beautiful mark of Christianity on him!”
Although Wang Leehom has lost his faith before, and even worshipped idols for the start of the movie, he believes that he will repent in front of God because of God’s love and mercy, and now he not only practices the love of the Lord, but also prays and relies on God in everything, “Wang Leehom Heroes Concert” counts down, tickets are sold out of the best number of sales since the opening of the Little Arena, and the record company specially chooses a good day and an auspicious day to arrange the protagonist Wang Leehom “Entering the Lord” Little Dome, presided over the countdown and blessing ceremony, because Wang Leehom is a Christian, he prayed for the success of the concert, he prayed for the success of the concert, in addition to practicing dance, he also practiced martial arts, running 6 to 7 kilometers a day, and then doing weight training with the black Chen Jianzhou (also a Christian), practicing until his whole body was sore, he said: ” My cure for the soreness was to continue practicing the next day, and I was fully committed to the concert, and I prayed to God every day for peace, so that I could concentrate and do my best in the concert. Witness to Christianity with practical deeds.
Bingxin, formerly known as Xie Wanying, is a famous Chinese poet, writer, translator, and children’s writer, whose pen name is taken from “A Piece of Ice Heart in the Jade Pot”, and is known as “the old man of the century” and “the grandmother of the literary world”.
Bingxin studied at the prestigious Wesleyan University in the United States [Soong Meiling also attended this university in the United States], and later taught at Yenching University, Tsinghua University, and the University of Tokyo in Japan, and was elected vice president of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles.
In a preface, she writes of Lao She: “Speaking of Lao She’s good deeds, sharing, and warmth, I remember once when we talked about the Bible, he said that ‘it is more blessed to give than to receive’ [Acts 20:35]. I think Lao She is the most blessed person in doing good deeds. Lao, She is a Christian, I never knew that. But I received a Christian education from middle school to university”.
Bingxin is a Christian who has translated some Christian poetry. She once wrote the poem “Heavenly Baby”: “You may sleep in a manger, gazing at the sky.” This clear singing voice and precious words urged him to think. I want to have only tears in my eyes, blood in my heart, running to the cross, running to the crown of thorns, thinking about how to settle down in my life. The stars are in the sky, the night is deep, and the burden of sin begins to be borne. ”
Bingxin enthusiastically promotes the “philosophy of love”, and it can be said that the idea of Christ’s fraternity is the basic fulcrum of her literary creation, and her novels, poems, and essays, wherever her heart and pen, are always and everywhere about the word “love”: childlike innocence, maternal love, love for nature and love for the motherland.
On the afternoon of February 14, 1999, Bingxin’s daughter Wu Qingwei snuggled up to her mother and sang the song “Christmas Eve” to her mother in proficient English, blessing her mother affectionately. She said: “Usually when we celebrate the holidays at home, my mother always sings the song “Christmas Eve” with us. The old man listened quietly, listened, listened to the familiar singing, slowly opened his eyes, and smiled slightly. Perhaps, this song evokes memories of her past. Later, when the prime minister came to visit, Wu Qing interrupted his singing. Bingxin passed away on February 28 at the age of 99. (From the March 5, 1999 issue of Writer’s Digest Youth Guide)
Wu Qing is a professor at the University of Foreign Chinese in Beijing and vice chairman of the Women’s World Supreme Foundation. After Bingxin’s death, she went to Mabian County, Sichuan Province to teach rural female teachers. During the lecture, she shed tears three times and said, “My mother is a writer, my teacher, my role model. Mom won the Japan Children’s Literature Award with a prize of 30,000 yuan. She had always wanted to use the prize money to donate to school dropouts in poor mountainous areas, and today, I am here to fulfill her last wish. My mother donated all her manuscript fees, her books, calligraphy and paintings, and even her five organs and brains”
On March 1, 1999, Hong Kong’s “Sing Tao Daily” commented on Bing Xin: “Since 1920, she has been influenced by Tagore’s works. She is known as the ‘grandmother of the literary world’, she has left her broad love to countless weak people who need help the most, and she has left to China the spirit of advocating democracy, being indifferent to fame and fortune, and hating evil. ”
On March 3, 1999, the French newspaper Le Monde commented on Bing Xin: “She has been nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature. In contemporary Chinese literature, she has always been one of the great women who embody the spirit of freedom. ”
In his 1921 essay “Me + Christ=?”, Bingxin said: that Simon’s bravery, permeated in the love of Christ, and became Peter and became the pillar of the Christian church. What effect can I get if I am infiltrated with the love of Christ? Jesus said, “I am the light of the world” (John 8:12) and said, “While there is light, believe in the light and make you children of light” (John 12:36). The disciple John said, “That light is the true light that enlightens all who are born into the world” (John 1:9). The unique talents of the world, brought into play, are also like flowers. However, if his genius is not shrouded in the true light of Christ, and then reflected, the result is only silence, bleakness, no spirit, no business, no difference from the walking dead.
The light shines on the whole world, and it only depends on who is willing to follow Christ and who wants to be a “child of light.” Who wants to be shrouded in the love of Christ, and who wants to use the reflection of light to carry forward his special genius and contribute to the great effect of mankind? Engrave this equation in your mind, and always push the answer to this equation, which is: I + Christ =? (Excerpt from “Essays on the Heart of Ice”).
There is faith, hope, and love, and the greatest of these three is love. —1 Corinthians 13:13
Ice Heart’s hymn
“Life” What is life?
Do you want to know him? He —- is an epiphany, It’s morning dew, It’s the shadow of the clouds;In an instant, it appeared, it blew away.
My God! You created the world, Why is he so illusory?
Yesterday —- passed. Today —- still? Tomorrow —- Who knows!
My God! The end of all things is near, Clear, I pray thee, Calling on you to pray for you, Until the day of the end of all things, amen.
Editor’s note: James 4:14 reads: You don’t even know if you’re alive tomorrow! Psalm 89:47 reads: Remember how short my life is, and remember that all you have made will perish.
Jesus, I have thought many times that if it weren’t for you, maybe I would have left this cruel world long ago. I’m not a strong person, and although the whole world uses those two words to describe me, you know, I’m not. I owe so much to what you have given me. But, I know, you love me and never thought of asking me back. It’s how much I want to pay it back, even a little.
Jesus, I have not seen you, but you have mercy on my prayers when I am lonely and helpless—this is not my delusion, it is true. If it’s just a thought, then my life is just an illusion.
Those who have never tried to rely on you, say it’s all psychological, it’s all imagination. They are imagining the experience that we experience in a way that they don’t know because they have never experienced it. After all, knowledge cannot make people experience the joy of walking with God, because reason and logic cannot explain or speculate on the existence of such a transcendent wisdom.
Your teachings are different from other people’s teachings, and those teachings that are high and unattainable have nothing to do with us in the world. But you are different, you have said it yourself – you are the Tao. Those who follow you do not have to search for or rely on their limited wisdom to figure out what the Tao is, as long as they follow you, they are already walking in the Tao.
Jesus, I am content to know you.
But you must also know that I cannot always be satisfied, and as long as I am in the world, my weaknesses cannot be completely removed. No one can be like you, no one has been able to truly emulate you since ancient times, and although countless people are willing to emulate you, no one has been able to do it.
You are the Word in the flesh, and no one can imitate that alone, especially since you were crucified and died for the sins of man, and then rose from the dead. You see, who in the world can do it but you?
Therefore a man’s weakness cannot be removed, and he cannot be like you.
Because there is no perfect person in the world, only you are perfect.
But from the time you were born in the dirtiest manger, from the time you chose to walk the hardest way in the world, from the time you were willing to humble yourself to wash the feet of others, from your utter immaculate patience and victory over all temptations… You have proved your love for the world with all your life in the world.
Jesus, although I cannot be as white and spotless as you are, I know that from the moment I fully accept you, you have completely forgiven me for all my sins and transgressions.
You have forgiven all my weaknesses and possible transgressions in the world. I know, but I can’t be pure.
You have the authority to forgive sins, and I have the weakness to continue to make mistakes. I can predict that no matter how hard, strong, and devout I am in the world, I will not be able to escape the darkness completely. So I can’t praise myself in any way.
Because I know my weaknesses too well. Sometimes in the face of challenges, I will tremble, sometimes I will face loneliness, I will complain, sometimes I will face the fog of the future, and I will indulge in darkness.
Jesus, the only thing I have in perfect faith is that you won’t let go.
Even I hate myself to the extreme. You still love me, as you always do.
Jesus, calling your name pierces and nourishes the deepest part of my soul more than the name of anyone I love.
Jesus, I believe you will teach me how to be strong and courageous.
I believe that you will eventually show me what you have promised—the land of Canaan flowing with milk and honey.
I trust in your faithfulness, even as my flesh wavers, yet my heart is as firm as death.
Jesus, I have no idols, because the people born of you do not need idols. I am weak, but I can stick to right and wrong, good and evil. For the people born of you will not be slaves to sin. I’m not a kind person, but I can serve those who hate me. For the people born of you do not need to show off their semblance of hypocrisy, but we love because you first loved us.
Jesus, this generation—without you, there are no truly saved souls.
