Li Fugui, a woman from a village in Henan, recently took 46 elderly people on a trip to Zhengzhou. She shared that she had been worried about their safety throughout the trip. “I didn’t sleep well for days,” she said. “Only when everyone returned home safely could I finally feel relaxed. But seeing them so happy made me very glad.”

To make sure the trip was safe, Li bought insurance for each person and brought medicine like heart-saving pills. She also asked four tour guides to help during the trip. The activity cost over 20,000 yuan, all of which came from the money she earned as an online creator.

For many of the elderly, it was their first time visiting Zhengzhou. They were so excited that they dressed even more carefully than on their wedding day. Li took them to watch the show “Only Henan” and other traditional performances. When asked if she would do it again, Li said, “Yes, but I will plan more carefully. I believe I can do it well.”

Li is 27 years old and comes from a family that faces many challenges. Her parents have intellectual disabilities, and her grandfather is very old. After her grandmother passed away, she started working to support her family. She first sold pancakes and tofu from a small cart, and later began traveling to nearby villages to sell goods. In 2024, she started making short videos about her life — helping old people dry wheat, braiding her mother’s hair, and taking photos for villagers. Her honest videos touched many people, and she became known as “Tofu Girl”.

Li once said, “I want to be someone who helps others, just as others have helped me.” She plans to continue living in the village and doing good things every day. She believes that small acts of kindness can together bring light to the world.
