Charity
My primary charitable commitment is supporting the education of students in need through long-term, focused aid.
๐ Supporting Rural Middle School Education
I have been a dedicated supporter of the Fangcao Young Volunteers Association (่ณ่็คพ้ๅนดๅฟๆฟ่ ๅไผ) at USTC since 2019.
- Focus: Providing financial assistance to two middle school girls from underserved areas in rural China.
- Commitment: Donations are made each semester to ensure sustained support throughout their education. The funds are strictly earmarked to cover study-related necessities (such as books, stationery, etc), ensuring direct impact on their academic success.
- Personal Involvement: Beyond financial support, I write regular letters to them. This correspondence allows for a personal connection, offering encouragement and guidance throughout their academic journeys.
I believe sustained educational support, combined with personal encouragement, is one of the most effective ways to foster long-term positive change.
