Liufu had grown up and could work making money. He started to find his hometown. He only knew his hometown was in Sichuan, but he didn’t know the exact location. One time, he saved 3000 yuan and was ready to deposit the money in a bank, but it was the right time of donating money to Wenchuan for the earthquake. He straight put the money into the donation box. There was just several ten yuan left, so he was only able to buy a bunch of noodles and every meal eating the noodles.
