58-year-old Zhang Xiping , a build farmer, was chosen to be one of the 2022 Chinese Filial Piety figures (中华慈孝人物) during the 8th Chinese Filial Piety Cultural Festival held in Hangzhou.
Zhang was born in 1964 in a small village in Shanxi province. His father passed away early and it was hard for his mother to raise him by herself. He wanted to make big money so that his mother could live comfortably. In 1984, Zhang heard sister in-law was raising chickens and selling eggs, so he decided to learn and do it himself.
Every night, he spends about three hours picking eggs for sale, putting each one carefully on top of another inside two baskets. And every morning, he wakes up at 5 o'clock, carries the two baskets weighing over 90 kilograms, and goes to a market street over 30 kilometers away from home. He walks more than 30,000 steps and passes by hundreds of streets per day.
For the past 38 years , he has been raising chickens and selling eggs to support____ his adopted (领养) daughter and now 87-year-old mother. Through his efforts, he has made a good living and even built a new house for his family to live in.
Although his physical disability has made him experience more difficulties in life than normal people, Zhang feels kindness from those around him. " As a disable person, I don't have much to give back to others. When I die, I will donate(捐献) my body to the hospital for scientific research," said Zhang.
