Two things are bothering him, one is to seek justice, and the other is to join in public welfare. The public welfare goal is to prevent high-rise residential fires and promote the domestic service industry to improve the nanny selection mechanism.
Online, he was called "decent" and a "perfect victim"-self-made, with a harmonious family. In the face of online extortion of "one child, one hundred million yuan", he remained calm and restrained, and at the same time publicly and appropriately countered-set up a foundation and didn't blackmail anyone.
But Lin Shengbin doesn't want to be a "perfect victim", he just wants to reunite his family.

Hometown of "Blue Qianjiang River"
On July 2 1 day, the highest temperature in Hangzhou climbed to 40 degrees. After spending a day outside with friends, Lin Shengbin fainted.
Too many cooks and a friend took him to the hospital. He stayed in 1 in the morning, and he insisted on going back to his temporary hotel apartment from the hospital, just opposite his former home.
At this time, his wife and children left him for a whole month.
In the evening, he clearly dreamed of his wife and children for the first time-he had dreamed of them several times before, but they were all hazy and soon woke up. This time, he finally saw them clearly in his dream, and his wife Zhu Xiaozhen came running to him with her children.
It took him half a month to accept the fact that his wife and children really couldn't come back.
He lives in a serviced apartment, downstairs is a residential area, opposite the swimming pool, facing his home. At 5 o'clock in the morning on June 22nd, Zhu Xiaozhen and her four children were forced into the bedroom by billowing smoke and flames, and tried desperately to call for help again and again.
At that time, Lin Shengbin was still in Guangzhou on business. He received a phone call from his mother early in the morning, and her mother told him that his house was on fire.
Nervousness gripped his heart, and he quickly took a taxi to the airport and took the latest plane to Hangzhou to go home.
In the blue Qianjiang community in Hangzhou, just after 6 o'clock, 10 minutes, Zhu Xiaozhen's brother Zhu Qingfeng has gone downstairs and tried to rush to save his sister and nephew several times.
Just two days before the accident, Zhu Xiaozhen sent a message to her brother. She rented a small courtyard and wanted to invite her brother to take the children on vacation. Zhu Qingfeng is a bit lucky. Maybe her sister and her children are in the small yard instead of the burning house.
But the final result ruined his hope. After the fire was put out, Zhu Qingfeng rushed into the scene and met his sister, nephew and niece. The rest of the house was in ruins, but this room was just burned through, and the smoke blackened everything in the room.
Zhu Xiaozhen and the children were rushed to the hospital. At nine o'clock, Zhu Qingfeng called her brother-in-law Lin Shengbin again. Lin Shengbin got off the plane and went straight to the hospital, but he was still a little late. In front of him were four drawers in the morgue, all of which were open. That's the remains of his wife and children.
"They don't have any burn marks. They were smoked to death." Zhu Qingfeng told reporters.

A dream swallowed by fire
This is an upscale residential area. Looking out of the window, Qiantang River is not far away. There are swimming pools and amusement facilities for children to play in the community. According to media reports, the market price of a house of more than 300 square meters in Lin Shengbin is about 20 million yuan.
He never thought that one day disaster would come. As a father of three children, he always pays attention to safety. When he smokes at home, he always puts some water in the ashtray.
He has high expectations for home. His contact with Zhu Xiaozhen was not smooth sailing. Zhu Xiaozhen is the youngest daughter in the family. Her parents disagreed and thought that Lin Shengbin's hometown Fujian was too far away. Moreover, Lin Shengbin was just an ordinary hair stylist with no net worth.
The fan is Zhu Xiaozhen's second brother Zhu Qingfeng. "I think as long as people are smart and enterprising, there will be no problem." Zhu Qingfeng said.
Lin Shengbin embarked on the road to business. In 2006, he began to set foot in the clothing business and soon achieved great success. 20 1 1, registered Kelou Clothing Company and founded the children's wear brand "Tong Zhen Life".
The atmosphere is the evaluation of him by almost all the people who have worked with him. "He has a good reputation in the clothing industry." Mr. Chen, a dealer who worked with him, told reporters that he only talked with him twice and concluded the business. The first deal was almost 500 thousand. "We do tail goods and buy their company's stock goods this year. Because of our warehouse, the delivery time is two or three months later than the agreed time. Mr. Lin did not blame us. " Mr. Chen said.
Ms. Xu, a distributor in Sichuan, is also his old business partner. From 20 14, the two sides began to cooperate. She said that Lin Shengbin is kind, and sometimes the money can't flow, and he is not in a hurry. The goods are still being delivered. Write a repayment plan and pay it back slowly. "For other manufacturers is definitely not enough. In business, we must strictly abide by the contract. " Ms. Xu said.
Lin Shengbin admits that he actually entered the clothing industry to some extent because of his wife.
"Before I got married, I told her that I would never let you suffer." Leaning on the bed in the hotel apartment, Lin Shengbin couldn't help lighting a cigarette when talking about his wife. He regretted not taking a wedding photo with his wife-"At that time, all the money was paid, but she was pregnant for five or six months. She doesn't like it, so she wants to wait until the baby is born. " Lin Shengbin told reporters that when the baby is born, the wedding photos will be postponed day by day if the baby is brought and the second and third children are born.
Zhu Xiaozhen doesn't care much about this sense of ceremony. She is a literary woman. She usually plays guzheng and practices Chinese calligraphy at home. Just before the accident, Zhu Xiaozhen had discussed with her brother that the child was growing up. She wants to regain the clothing industry and "make Hanfu or something."
Without that disaster, it almost satisfied everyone's imagination of a perfect life-a rich family, children and harmonious relationship between husband and wife. In order to cooperate with his wife, Lin Shengbin also bought a guitar, looking for opportunities to study. In fact, his wife Zhu Xiaozhen doesn't like the present house very much. She likes that small yard, where one day there will be land, and she can touch the soil, which is fresh and practical. "I always thought it was just a woman's feeling." Lin Shengbin said.
After all, the houses in the city center are convenient for study and work. He thought that when the children settled down or retired, he could realize his wife's wish.
He silently set himself a goal: to struggle for ten years, to realize his wife's dream, to live in a small yard with her and to walk around with her.
The fire swallowed up these dreams. At 6: 00 am on 23rd, Lin Shengbin built a mourning hall in the community and returned to his burnt-out home for the first time. He wanted to find some good clothes for his wife and children and walked around. Guzheng and guitar were burned, leaving nothing behind.
Delta after the incident, Zhu Qingfeng bought all kinds of fire fighting equipment for research.
Prove the foundation of love.
No matter how sad, Lin Shengbin will go home every day. The mourning hall is built in a small room next to the entrance of the unit building. A few days ago, flowers brought by neighbors and netizens who came to pay homage filled the aisle. In this aisle, he used to play badminton with his son. He took his children to swim in the swimming pool in the middle of the community. There are traces of relatives living everywhere in the community, and he can't get around it.
He couldn't sleep all night, so he knocked on Weibo. His friends take turns to accompany him, lest he think about it at night.
At that time, he even had the mind to take his wife and children. "A friend comforted him and told him not to think so, but to think more about doing good deeds, otherwise the dead relatives would be more uneasy." Lin Shengbin's attorney, He Xiangyang of Zehou Law Firm, said.
"At that time, I also told my brother-in-law. Even if the compensation is finally obtained through legal procedures, it is the money that my sister and children exchanged with their lives. No one is uneasy and inappropriate. It is better to do something more meaningful. " Zhu Qingfeng said.
Standing downstairs on fire that day, powerlessness has been tormenting Zhu Qingfeng. He wanted to find something to do for himself, so he simply bought fire-fighting equipment to study. "Before, none of us thought of paying attention to this." He said he wanted to do something about fire fighting and self-help. "But if there are masks and fire blankets at home, it may not be like this."
The idea was heard by Lin Shengbin. After the "first seven", the thinking became clearer and clearer. "In the first half of the month, I couldn't accept the reality. Later, I gradually realized that they would definitely not come back, but there was always something to support them. " Lin Shengbin said.
Public opinion called him a rare decent man and showed restraint. But I still can't stop questioning. At the beginning of July, Lin Shengbin couldn't sit still after Lin Shengbin's lawyer put forward the condition of "100 million yuan for one child" on the Internet.
He felt that pure anger seemed futile, and in the end, he chose to promote the foundation immediately. On July 12, Lin Shengbin published an open letter through a law firm, proposing a plan to build a public welfare foundation. The name is also "Tong Zhen Life", which continues the name of the children's wear brand founded by him and Zhu Xiaozhen, including family names: Zhu Xiaozhen, Lin Changyi, Lin Zhenya and Lin Qingtong.
This is almost a helpless defense under step-by-step concession. Lin Shengbin admitted that the foundation was established on the one hand to prove his love for his wife and children, "hoping to continue their lives and do something for the society"; On the other hand, there are also factors that force self-incrimination.
He Xiangyang revealed that the foundation still needs to go through many procedures from its establishment to its official operation. At present, they are still preparing materials, and have not decided whether to issue them publicly or privately. Many caring people want to participate in the preparation of the foundation, and some of them will be selected to form a preparatory group to carry out the preparatory work. "As for the legal residence of the foundation, it is best to be located in Zhejiang, because the fire happened in Hangzhou." He Xiangyang said that he refused to accept any form of donation before the foundation was officially approved.
"If you haven't done it yet, accept donations from netizens. What do people think you will do with the money? " Lin Shengbin said.
△ In the small mourning hall, there are flowers from all walks of life.
The world outside the mourning hall
Strong public opinion is a double-edged sword. While giving them firm support, netizens flocked to Taobao shops selling "Tong Zhen Lifelong" clothes. The advertisement in the store is still Lin Zhenya's model, and some netizens curse the shopkeeper for spending children in Lin Shengbin.
In the eyes of the storm of public opinion, Lin Shengbin's family was cautious in their words and deeds. They are like a boat in a stormy sea, trying to maintain stability and balance the surging forces around them. A classmate Lin Zhenya's parents revealed that when she went to worship, she brought an envelope and some gold. "Sister Lin Shengbin said that it is good for you to spend it, and our family is determined not to accept a penny."
With the passage of time, the scope of the mourning hall is gradually narrowing. "We also feel that it has been so long, and always building such a hall in the community will affect others." Lin Shengbin said that on No.21,they removed most of the flowers and limited the scope of the mourning hall to a small room of several square meters next to the unit.
Blue Qianjiang Community has also strengthened security measures, installed a face recognition system, and registered ID cards. Across the gate, there are still netizens from all over the country who want to worship, but they can't go in and out of the community as they did a few days ago.
On July 10, comprehensive fire safety management of high-rise buildings was carried out nationwide. A resident of Hangzhou told reporters that in Hangzhou, Greentown is in charge of many residential properties, and centralized safety inspections have been carried out these days. "I used to just look at whether the fire hydrant is about to expire. If it expires, it will be replaced. Now I have to twist them one by one to see if they can be used. "
Some commentators said, "We should all thank Mr. Lin Shengbin for his death." However, for Lin Shengbin and his relatives, this kind of praise is far from offsetting the sadness and loss in their hearts.
Zhu Qingfeng doesn't listen to or watch the news at all. These days, he just turns off the radio in the car. The world outside the mourning hall is changing with each passing day, and new things happen every day, but their lives are still stagnant on June 22nd.
I'm sorry for your loss, but time will ease the pain in your heart and let your foundation help more people, which is also a little comfort to you.
