Xu Yuehua, a handicapped woman in central China's Hunan Province, has moved countless people to tears with her selfless deeds during the past three decades.

Xu, who was orphaned at an early age and lost both her legs in an accident at 13, has devoted herself to raising children in the social welfare institute that sheltered her. The 55-year-old woman has raised more than 130 children during the past 37 years in Xiangtan Social Welfare House in Hunan.

Xu is much beloved by the children she has raised. After leaving the social welfare house, all the children put Xu's name on forms as their mother.

Xu says she feels happy to take care of these children and never feels regret for doing it, saying it is her duty and pleasure to look after these children. After the news of Xu's selfless deeds was widely spread, many people visited her and the social welfare house, offering to be volunteers.
