Features: Li Yulin: A laborer who records life, charity, storms, and mountains with his heart, pen, and camera. He finds great joy in doing concrete things for others, society, and charitable causes. Since 1978, he has published works such as the novel collection The Mouse Spirit, the prose collection Another Blue Sky, Charitable Journey, the photographic prose collection The Lens Speaks, and Fireworks.

A first-class national writer. On the second anniversary of the Indian Ocean tsunami, when we saw the beautiful disaster-stricken resettlement villages in the tsunami-affected countries, symbolizing the deep bond between the Chinese people and the people of the affected countries, we saw the footprints of love left by the China Charity Federation, the Chinese Red Cross, and representatives of Chinese donations there. We saw Chinese construction engineers working diligently and meticulously, drenched in sweat. We saw the smiles of the people in the affected countries, brighter than the sun, facing the Chinese people. Our hearts were filled with a sense of relief, pride, and the power of love. History will remember how Chinese aid, day by day, has helped build the friendship between the Chinese government and people, and the governments and people of the affected countries. The government officials and people there said: The Chinese government and people always keep their word. We will never forget the kindness of the Chinese government and people toward us. When this manuscript, recording the charity of the Chinese people across borders, leaving memories that will not be forgotten, and emitting the fragrance of ink, was placed before the author, an indescribable sense of gratitude constantly rose in his heart.
