It is reported that a woman in her 60s adopted more than 200 stray dogs alone and fed them every day for 21 years. Although she had had a difficult life on her own, she had never wanted to abandon the stray cats and dogs and had always looked after them.
It's 60 years old this year.
And Confucius said: When he is 60 years old, he shall not be afraid to shout at him, and he shall hear the truth. The same is true of Aunt Money, except that she has always insisted on one thing alone. It's hot, she leaves at noon every day until midnight. The little girl can't watch. She says don't go out in this heat.
Aunt Money said, "How can I do that? If I don't watch this weather, I can't tell you."
Most of these cats and dogs are disabled and abandoned by their owners. Auntie Chan insisted on adopting stray cats and dogs for 21 years. At present, she has adopted over 150 stray dogs and over 50 stray cats.
There's no animal protectionism. In her own words, "I don't even know a few words. I don't know those things!"
However, this ordinary peasant woman has adopted abandoned stray cats and dogs almost on her own for 21 years.
What she insisted on was a single heart — the left half, the hidden half, the right half, the responsibility.
For 11 years, I rented a warehouse and built over 300 square metres of pet homes.
Aunt Money has a “dog house” about 20 minutes from her house. It's a little off. It's close to the railroad bridge.
It's been 11 years since we rented this warehouse. Whenever I mentioned it, she was always grateful. At that time, the number of adopted cats and dogs was increasing, the neighbours couldn't bear it, and Auntie Chan went to four settlements, as far as the porosus, 10 miles away.
Then the kind people helped find this place. The boss is eager to rent $7,000 a year, and hasn't raised prices in 11 years. Auntie Chan bought her own materials and hired craftsmen to transform the storeroom into a small pet house of more than 300 square metres and more than 30 rooms today.
The day before yesterday, the money aunt bought two new large electric fans to cool down the cats and dogs. “They have a lot of bad health, they can't stand the heat, and now there are about 18 electric fans, and almost the wind can blow them.” She has to be busy with the rain these days. "The long-staying dog is fine, and the new one is so scared that he'll have to rest."
Give each cat and dog a name.
Money aunts who are not literate give names to every cat and dog and are familiar with their different personalities.
Yesterday, at 12:30, the dogs blew up as soon as the electric tricycle of Aunt Money arrived. Auntie Money also greets them from a distance: "Go inside, don't press the melon and don't jump..." Aunt Chan laughed that these names were taken at random, even with names such as Jiangxi and Henan.
It's hard to imagine how this can tell the common pathology of cats and dogs, go to a veterinarian and get medicine, give an injection to cats and dogs. That year, Auntie Chan moved a little girl next door. The little girl was busy at work, didn't have time to take care of the pet dog, and asked Aunt Chan to watch out. The dog was sometimes hungry, and she felt sorry for herself and took care of it.
The little girl moved away and the dog left it to Aunt Money. "Some of them are limping, some of them are rotten, and it's hard to look at them." Since then, Auntie Money has met abandoned cats and dogs and adopted them. On several occasions, the dog owner even threw the dog in the river, and the money aunt got it back.
The vast majority of these stray cats and dogs are either sick or disabled. "Some of them were just born and thrown away, and I found them for a while, but here's the dog ... You see, the hide is blind, the leg is broken by a car, the hair is so popular, but it has an epilepsy, and sometimes it's gone."
I used 60 pounds of rice every day to borrow money from my daughter.
At the time of the initial adoption of the stray dog, the husband was still alive, and the two members operated a teahouse and had a good home. However, 10 years ago, the husband died of cancer because of the transfer of the therapeutic teahouse. You lost your income, Aunty. You didn't leave these cats and dogs.
In the morning, as usual, Aunt Money fed more than 200 cats and dogs, 60 pounds of rice per day. "I can't eat anything with dog food and cat food. I can only eat what they eat." In addition to feeding cats and dogs, Aunt Money had to clean more than 30 single rooms and clean up 100 mattresses in winter. Every day until midnight, all year round, even after New Year with cats and dogs.
So many cats and dogs, a lot of money a year. The daughter said it would cost $100,000 to remove the rent. It's not even the cost of stinging and treating cats and dogs. The money aunt asked her daughter for $5,000 the other day, and the daughter gave her a good time, saying she never paid back every time she asked. “The daughter also cares for me, and he says that he has the support. It is only that the eldest daughter has been ill and the youngest daughter has been divorced, and it has not been easy.”
Auntie Chan said it would be very nice if someone could give us some rice. But donate money or something, "It's not good for me to have the money and nobody knows where I'm spending."
In the eyes of Auntie Money, she's fine, looking after cats and dogs, "I'm sure I'm responsible for it as long as I'm here."
There are now too many pets, and as a result, abandoned pets are increasingly coming, mostly physically disabled or sick. Auntie Chan, though illiterate, has not abandoned these stray cats and dogs for 21 years and deserves our respect, and we should reflect on our behaviour.
