Shen, a famous philanthropist who was called "Grandma of Shanghai" for selling houses, died in Shanghai at the age of 76. Born in Shanghai from 65438 to 0947, Shen engaged in Chinese teaching after retiring from Shanghai No.4 School for the Deaf. In 2008, in order to support Wenchuan earthquake relief, Shen sold a property in Shanghai and donated a school in Dujiangyan, Sichuan. The story of this "Shanghai granny" touched the whole country and became a bright page in the development of charity in Shanghai.
What is commendable is that the son and daughter-in-law are very supportive of Shen's decision. They not only accompanied her to the auction company to sign the entrustment agreement, but also said that the school was not built enough, so they could post more money. For Shen, selling a house is only the starting point of her charity.
Future generations commemorate Shen
Shen's grandson Zhu Jifei said that he would inherit his grandmother's charity cause, carry forward the charity brand of "Shanghai Grandma" and fulfill Shen's unfulfilled wish. He was already ready to study abroad and decided to be the heir to her charity and become a "three-generation benefactor". All social welfare institutions under Shen's name will be managed by him. Zhu Jifei, 23, has been the head of the Shanghai Charity Foundation's application for special funds.
In September, 2023, Zhu Jifei initiated the activity of donating books to primary schools in Liu Jie, which was supported by Shanghai Charity Foundation. His actions not only inspired a group of colleagues to be enthusiastic about charity, but also influenced more entrepreneurs and caring people to participate in charity. A large number of caring enterprises and caring people donated a large number of books and materials, and signed a long-term cooperation funding agreement with the school.
