"When the recipients don’t know of the donor, they won’t tire themselves, trying to find the donor. In my opinion, the donor should also not pride himself as a benefactor, otherwise I recommend him not to be a donor," said Zhang Jiqing, who has been donating money to social service organizations anonymously under the name "Yan Huang" for 27 years since his first donation of 1,000 yuan to a nursing home in 1987.

His identity came about in November 2014 only when he unexpectedly fainted at a post office where he used to mail his donations. His generous deeds had to be revealed to the public then.

"She came to my family safe and sound at work, I will not let her go back with hemiplegia. I will take care of her in her remaining life time and carry out the funeral duty when it comes to it," said Zhu Guizhen, who has kept taking care of the nanny in her family for ten years though the nanny did not even work for a whole year for the family.

In 2012, Zhu hired Zhao Shouqin for her to take care of father-in-law as she and her husband were busy, selling fruits. However, Zhao was diagnosed with cerebral infarction without serving a full year in her family. Surprisingly, Zhu gave up her fruit business and took the responsibility to take care of her father-in-law as well as the nanny she hired at home. She has been looking after them for more than ten years already.
