Wu Bing was once a successful businessman with a thriving cotton factory in Nantong, China. However, his personal life was in turmoil and he found solace in a Buddhist temple in the city. After his divorce, Wu made the decision to become a monk and sold his factory, seeking peace and tranquility in a remote temple in Fujian province.
However, the peace he sought was short-lived as he encountered pregnant women facing difficult situations at the temple. Many of these women were abandoned by their partners and lacked financial support. Despite being unprepared for this reality, Wu decided to help them by providing shelter, prenatal care, and support throughout their pregnancies. The temple soon became a haven for many pregnant women and newborns.
Word spread quickly about Wu’s shelter, drawing more women seeking his help. In response, the temple’s abbot asked 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 even 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 been recognized by the Chinese media as an inspiration to others to volunteer and offer assistance. Despite facing numerous challenges along the way, Wu remains committed to helping those in need and providing a safe haven for vulnerable pregnant women.
