[Reporter Li Rongping/Taoyuan Report] Wu Qingtang and Wang Meizhi, the husband and wife of the chairman of Taoyuan Private Qiying and Zhiping High School, have been sending Spring Festival condolence money to disadvantaged families for 16 years since 2007 and before the Lunar New Year. This year, a total of 2.91 million yuan was awarded to 582 poor students, each of whom received a red envelope of 5,000 yuan.

Among them, Kelin Zhongqiu, the food and beverage manager of the Qiying Training Department, insisted on studying, which moved the audience.

The dark-skinned Lin Zhongqiu is an aborigine of the Bunun ethnic group in Hualien County. The Lin family was also one of the families affected by the 9.18 earthquake last year. Due to his father’s early death, Lin Zhongqiu gave up his studies after graduating from Yuli Junior High School to reduce his mother’s financial burden. I went to a construction site in New Taipei City to tie steel bars. Unexpectedly, my eldest brother was in a car accident and became a vegetable. The second brother returned to Hualien to work and helped his mother take care of his eldest brother.

He stayed in Taoyuan, engaged in logistics work during the day to send money home, and went to school after get off work.

Lin Zhongqiu mentioned that the eldest brother has always been like a father. When the two brothers went to work in the north, they originally agreed to have the opportunity to finish high school together, so that they would not run into obstacles when looking for a job in the future. Now this agreement can no longer be fulfilled by the elder brother, but he seized the moment. No matter how tired and sleepy every day, he will still go to school. He hopes that if his elder brother wakes up one day, he can show off to the other party with his high school diploma, "I did it!" He is very grateful to the chairman's mother for taking care of the disadvantaged students. I received 5,000 yuan in red envelopes before the Lunar New Year, and I will give all of it to my mother to buy diapers and nutritional supplement milk powder for my elder brother to have a good year, and I will continue to work hard and study hard.

Another Xue Wenwen, who has won the shot put and discus championship several times in the National Secondary School Athletics Championships, was born in a family of Gezai opera. She learned to sing opera from a young age and once performed on stage with her mother.

After her parents divorced, her mother had to work 3 jobs a day to raise 4 children on her own. As the eldest daughter, she also had 3 younger brothers who were studying in middle school and elementary school.

In addition to the usual high-intensity training, Xue Wenwen also goes to the betel nut stand with her mother to earn more money. She has received the red envelopes for the Spring Festival for three consecutive years. She will discuss with her mother how to use them and move towards the goal; Sending warmth makes students feel warm.

Including the former Minister of Education Wu Qingji, the current director of the Municipal Education Bureau Liu Zhongcheng, the former directors Lin Mingyu, Lin Yiqing and others attended the meeting to encourage the students present. Wu Qingji also shared that Wu Qingtang was born in a first-class poor family. He lost his father when he was 6 years old. The siblings grew up and moved 16 times before the age of 20. They can empathize with the poor life. After a successful career and accumulation of wealth, he took over many schools. He and his wife not only pay attention to education and poor children, but are also willing to spread love and hope that the disadvantaged Students bravely build their dreams and turn their lives around from education.
