Who would have imagined that a young mother so many years ago would generate such worldwide exposure! It goes to show how one person's passion has the power to move mountains!

Hi Tian,
Happy World Autism Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How are you? I have been thinking of you a lot lately and really missing you and everyone else in China...oh I wish that I can come and visit soon....do you have any plans to come to Europe?
My work is going well and I love my new job....I have been showing Robin's film to lots of people and they found it very powerful.
Unfortunately my computer won't let me open the film, I imagine that it is great.
I remain in admiration of all of your hard work.
Okay Chinese Mother take care
love

I wonder whether you can set up a link for direct online donation. I would like to donate some money, which may be small a time, but found out it is not convenient. Please make it more convenient so I can come back again and again without taking too much time to figure out how to donate.

Thank you.

Thank you so much,

We are here for a world without LONELINESS*
＿for the first “World Autism Day”
Today in the morning I found greetings from all over the world:“Happy Autism Day!”
Yes, I am very happy, because today is the first World Autism Day. I am very happy, because I and my 22 years old autistic son Taotao are enjoying our quiet, peaceful life. I am very happy, because Stars & Rain has celebrated her 15th birthday and now on a good start of the second 3-year Strategy paln with full of confidence. I am very happy, because there are more and more organizations serving children with autism in China… I am very happy, because I believed I would not be able to be happy!
I am grateful for our kids with autism, they are telling us what is the value of the life, what is the equal, what is the dignity, what is respect, what is civilization in a world!
I am grateful for all people who have been helping us, their actions and deeds make us more aware of a world with sunshine, love and hope!
My English name is HOPE. I have got a new life since I have got this name from a friend — never give up having hope for the life, for the future and for this world!
We are the one who really understand the meaning of hope, because we were sank in a deep despair. We are the one who truly realize the sense of luck, because we believed that we are the most unlucky people.
At this special moment, I am thinking badly my lovely autistic son Taotao. You are the angle of this world! Mom’s only lifelong career is: fulfill the mission God sent you to this world___ tell eveyboday, people with autism is a part of us!!!
* Autism is translated in Chinese: disease of loneliness!
