"Covered with third- to fourth-degree burns over 70 persent of his body, the tiny baby boy shrieked in agony in a cold village field on the outskirts of Langfang, China. Horrified villagers gathered around him, then walked away. But one older man stayed behind,gathered the child in his arms and went for help. His compassion and courage sparked a momentous chain of events: The baby left to die would bring people from different countries, faiths, and social backgrounds in the successful battle to save his life and secure his future."

"I put down Lisa Bentley's book, Saving Levi, ready to cheer the spirit of a woman who refused to recognize international, cultural, or linguistic boundaries in her quest for justice on behalf of a severly burned little Chinese boy. Bentley adopted him as one of her own, displaying a grace and compassion one rarely finds today."
- John M. Glionna, Seaol Bureau Chief, Los Angeles Times
" An extraordinary talk of compassion, hope, and of G-ds love at work amid the tumultuous change of modern China."
- Rob Gifford, Former Beijing Correspondent, National Public Radio and best-selling author
" I would not care to know anyone with a heart so cold as to remain unmoved by this gripping story. Lisa Bentley's complete determination to save Levi is an absolute marvel that demonstrates the power of love and resolute faith."

On May 11, 2011, the Spring City Evenings reported that there were two children severely injured in a fire. On their way to the hospital, a passer-by took a photo of the scene and then posted it on the internet. As a mother, we felt so anxious that we contacted the newspaper reporter to get the detailed information. The two children, Wang Ran,the elder sister aged three-and-a-half, Wang shi hang, the younger brother, aged two, were diagnosed severe degree burns on the head and hand. Their father was working away from home to support his family with his small income, while their mother was doing some farm working at home to take care of the two children. The fire made their situation even worse. On the evening of May 12, 2011, the children were sent into the Second Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University with the help of the caring net friends.
