Liu has been helping others since his barber shop opened in 1994.

"I lost my mother at the age of 6, and my father left home soon after," he said. "I was raised by my grandmother and received lots of care from my neighbors."

Therefore, he decided to repay society when he began making a better living with his business.

Over the years, Liu and his fellow volunteers have provided free haircuts for more than 50,000 seniors, and he often visits those who are unable to walk to his shop for service.

They also provide voluntary services for seniors living alone, and during important festivals they send daily supplies.

In June 2018, he launched a charity program with a local media company that helps children with cancer who have lost their hair due to chemotherapy.

Liu provides free haircuts for those who are willing to donate their long hair. He also accepts hair donated by other means.

"All the hair is made into wigs by a company in Shanghai free of charge," he said. "More than 100 children in the city have received free wigs that can help them regain their self-esteem and self-confidence during cancer treatment."

Liu has won several honors, including the title of China's Good Samaritan in 2006.

"I have received more donations from the volunteers, and I am still trying my best to purchase more," he said. "The distribution will continue as soon as I get the prevention materials, and I believe our country will overcome the difficulties."
