There is a person who picks up waste paper every morning for nearly 20 years.

Not for their own livelihood, but to help those in need, and so far, more than 100 million won has been donated.



Reporter Baek Woon met.



<Reporter> Lee



Sang-il's day starts early in the morning.



The cart is full of the waste paper you picked up.



Today (26th), the money he earned from selling waste paper was 8,700 won.



The amount raised this year alone exceeded $500,000.

But all this money is being collected for donations.



[Lee Sang-il / Anyang-si, Gyeonggi-do: 8-9 million won, 10 million won per year.

It's about $500,000 now.

My goal this year is 6 million won.]



Mr. Lee worked as a prison guard for 33 years and after retiring, he continued to pick up waste paper and donate to him.



It's been 19 years.



[Lee Sang-il / Anyang-si, Gyeonggi-do: I went to a total of 27 facilities, including nurseries, nursing homes, facilities for the disabled, from Incheon to Uijeongbu.]



That means 50 years of experience in sharing.



[Lee Sang-il / Anyang-si, Gyeonggi-do: Even in my mother's (no money) life, I try to give someone a spoonful of rice, and we can't eat it either.

That's what I learned from her mother.]



The eyebrows that I shaved by myself.



It contains his heart for the leprosy patients he met during his volunteer work.



[Lee Sang-il / Anyang-si, Gyeonggi-do: (Lungen disease patients) did not have eyebrows.

If I want to become one with those people, I shave my eyebrows, and when I go there, I shave my hair very short.] While



living as a civil servant, picking up waste paper and donating money alone exceeded 100 million won, but Mr. Lee has another goal.



We are collecting 1,000 500 won coins engraved with cranes instead of 1,000 paper cranes that cannot be folded, praying that the needy will be reduced even a little.



[Lee Sang-il / Anyang-si, Gyeonggi-do: A lot of people say that if you fold one crane and fold 1,000, your wish will come true.

I can't fold 1,000 cranes with my dexterity, so I pick up a box and when I get money, I collect 1,004 500 won coins and pray that there are no difficult people in this society.]
