Wu Bing, a wealthy businessman from Nantong, China, found solace in a Buddhist temple after his personal life fell apart. Following his divorce, he made the decision to become a monk and sold his factory, embracing a new life in a remote temple in Fujian province. However, the peace he sought in the temple was disrupted when he encountered pregnant women facing difficult situations. These women were abandoned by their partners and lacked financial support. Despite being unprepared for this reality, Wu decided to help these women by providing shelter, prenatal care, and support throughout their pregnancies.
The temple soon became a refuge for many pregnant women and newborns. As word spread about Wu’s shelter, more women began to seek his help, leading the temple’s abbot to ask him to find a new location for his shelter. Wu relocated to a villa in Zhejiang province, where he established the Protective Dwelling. With the help of social media and donations, he was able to support more women in need and raise awareness about their situation.
Through his online presence and charitable efforts, Wu has helped over 600 single women facing pregnancy without support. His story has gained recognition in the Chinese media, inspiring others to volunteer and offer assistance. Despite the challenges he has faced, Wu remains dedicated to helping those in need and providing a safe haven for vulnerable pregnant women.
