Bai Fang Li is another individual that allows us to see the manner that genuine empathy and filial love allows us to make a difference. We learn that Bai Fang Li was a rickshaw driver that was able to work throughout his life into his 90s. We learn that he was able to donate money from his wages to schools so that children were able to receive an education. We learn that he donated wages so that 300 students who lived in poverty could go to school. We learn that he describes the importance of filial love and genuine empathy in wanting the best not only for oneself, but for others.

We learn that Bai Fang Li is another individual that helps understand the importance of having virtues and living a life that is positive instead of negative. We learn that Bai Fang Li worked until he was 93 years of age donating his wages so that children would be able to remain in school and keep studying. This describes the ideals and virtues of selflessness that prevent individuals from practicing vices including egoism, arrogance, and avarice. We learn that we are able to learn from the positive story of Bai Fang Li that each individual has the power to practice good.

We learn that Bai Fang Li's story describes the importance of having meaning and purpose in the betterment of not only oneself, and instead there is the manner that everyone can improve. This is something that happens when there is righteousness and genuine empathy for mankind instead of greed, avarice, and envy. We learn that this describes the importance that each individual has to make the world better regardless of its current state. We can preach, practice righteousness, and refuse to practice iniquity, slothfulness, greed, and coveting.

Instead of coveting, we learn from Bai Fang Li's example that individuals are able to help others with genuine empathy without ulterior motives. We know that we are able to persevere knowing that even in these past decades and times, there are righteous individuals that not only say that they practice righteousness, but most importantly, actually demostrate their righteousness by being genuine and righteous. This describes choosing to learn from righteous individuals that have virtues and forsake negative examples that have vices. We also learn that living a long life is a blessing seeing the manner that Bai Fang Li was able to live to the age of 93.
