17-year-old orphan pays off family's debt in 6 years

Ye Yunshi, 17, a student in the second year of high school in Yunhe, east China's Zhejiang province, finally paid off the last debt owed by his dead parents lately.

In the autumn of 2009, when Ye was only 11, his mother, suffering from lupus and his father suffering from liver cancer died one after another in 49 days. His parents had owed a lot of debts because of the illness. On the day after his father was buried, some creditors came to Ye's home. Ye told them: "Do not worry! I will pay off my Dad's debts."　

In the first winter after his parents' death, with the help of his aunt, Ye confirmed and noted more than 20 debts owed by his father, totaling 30,000 yuan.

In the summer of 2010, Ye earned money for the first time - 15 yuan by collecting waste. Then he began to assemble toys, through which, Ye earned more than 1,000 yuan in the summer. Since then, Ye had collected waste on every weekend and assembled toys in every vacation. The amount of money he earned increased year after year: 2,300 yuan in 2011, 3,000 yuan in 2012, 4,000 yuan in 2013 ......

When Ye returned the money to the creditors' home, all of them declined and said:" You are too young and you can make it later." Ye said:"I can pay off the money owed by my parents. But I can never pay off the love debts that I owed to the goodhearted people."
