As a supporter of our Home, you too can celebrate the wedding of Zhong Linjun! She is the first orphan from our Home to get married!
Linjun wasn’t even two years old when her mother fell ill and died. Tragically, her father was killed in a traffic accident when she was about 12, so Linjun was admitted to our Home.
Because she was a normal and able child, Linjun was the first to live in our Small Group Home. She was given the privilege of being an elder sister to the little children. This was obviously a helpful move because she grew up to be a happy young woman who integrated well into society.
When she came of age she did her paid service in the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) and that is where she met Jie Shubin, her future husband. They have both left the army now.
Mr Jie works with the Qinghai Provincial Quality Supervision Bureau, and when Linjun terminated her service with the army, the government assigned her a job with Qinghai Pharmaceutical Factory. The staff at the Home helped them find their new home together.
They are both 23 years old.Linjun is still very attached to the Children’s Home, and to the staff, especially Mr Toi, the house father in the Small Group Home, and to Madam Li, the Administrator, who organised and hosted this very first wedding party in honour of the beautiful child given into our care as an orphan.
We pray that Linjun’s wedding on May 1 was just the start of a new life of joy as she builds a home of her own!
I feel like my own daughter has gotten married and perhaps, may be, I will be a grandma soon!
