LanGao, short of land resources, with
inconvenient transportation is a state-level poverty-stricken
area, whose economy is comparatively speaking lagged
behind.
But the folks in LanGao are very pure, diligent, and
hospitable to receive friends, friendly towards neighbors
and obliging to help others. In eight years, many
LanGao people realized their dreams in Golden Shine
by becoming
senior managers, area vice managers, hairdressers
and professional beauticians and so on. They exhibit
their talents in different posts in Golden Shine.
To bless their descendants, LanGao People in Golden
Shine have been helping those school dropped out kids
because of poverty by "forming pairs". They
are established in their career and possess enjoyable
life, yet they are not complacent because they think
more of returning their hometown and a barren land.
When Chen Zongyong, the vice General Manager of Golden
Shine got this news, he immediately decided to donate
money to establish a "Hope Primary School",
because the manager knew we could not make our children
suffer again and could not hold up their future. To
get rid of poverty, the only way is through education,
to learn knowledge so that we can change the backward
outlook of the mountainous area.
On April 26, five staff from Golden Shine, set out
westward to the remote mountainous area with their
heart of love. After two days of expedition day and
night they arrived at their destiny successfully.
On the morning of 28th, the folks, teachers, students
from the Huali Town organized themselves. They beat
gongs, played the drums, and danced Yangge along a
500-meter-long street to welcome "the Golden
Shine's" form afar in their own way. In the donation
ceremony afterwards, Golden Shine donated the first
batch of initiating fund, stationeries and clothes.
In Golden Shine Primary School they set up "Golden
Shine Grant" and cashed it and received 20 very
poor students as the subjects of "One-to-One
help".
The children laughed because they are going to have
the best local school. It meant that they no longer
had to get up at three or four o'clock in the morning
and walk for two hours to go to school because they
had dormitories now.
The teachers burst into tears because for so many
years they taught in very dangerous shabby classrooms
and with so many rainy and stormy days they faced
empty classrooms with no one to come to school. There
used to be so many children left the class because
they were to poor to afford. The joyful tears showed
that all those days were gone and would never return.
The major leaders of the LanGao county, county government,
county culture and education bureau, the broadcasting
bureau and the party committee all took part in the
donation ceremony. Li Jun, the magistrate made a speech
full of emotion. He said, "LanGao was poor and
shut up in history. But the mountains were never poor,
and waters never bad, instead, the mountains are beautiful
and the waters clear. With the protection of the spirit
and care from all parties, Golden Shine's donation
was very great and the first act of goodness in LanGao's
history. LanGao people will never forget and LanGao
County will record it in her history because the donation
to establish a hope primary school here might change
the fate of a generation in Huali Town LanGao county.
The honesty, passion and hope ˇwere mingled with strong
affection and deep love.
