Stand up and step out | Kailing HSU | TEDxFuxingPark
In recent years, Kailing suffered a severe horse-riding accident, which deepened her connection with Fei Liu, her disabled cat. Lying in the hospital bed, she came to understand Fei Liu more and more, growing increasingly aware of the hardships in its life. At the same time, she was inspired by Fei Liu's optimism and sincerity. After recovering, Kailing launched the "Hundred People Plan" — realizing that one person might not be able to rescue a hundred disabled animals, but a hundred people could. Many touching stories have emerged from this plan, which has also brought her more thoughts about the future and animals. Kailing is a true "slash youth" with multiple identities, among which rescuing stray animals is the one she takes the greatest pride in.
Encountering those "its" (stray animals) has been a precious experience in her life, and it was precisely them that made her decide to take rescuing stray animals as her lifelong mission. In 2007, after she came to work in Shanghai alone from Taiwan, the companionship and dependence of her cat Baggio brought her greatest warmth and comfort. Two years later, when Kailing stepped into marriage and started a new family, Baggio's passing left her deeply sorrowful. Later, she rescued and adopted A Gui, who looked remarkably like Baggio, saving him from the jaws of death. It was then that she began running her foster home for stray animals, helping them find warm families where they could be each other's companions. After that, she met Fei Liu, a stray animal abandoned due to paraplegia. To take care of Fei Liu, she learned nursing and medical knowledge, and devoted more effort to looking after it. She took Fei Liu to many places to see the beauty of the world and also received much love from travelers along the way.
