In the southern hemisphere on the other side of the globe, it takes more than a dozen hours for the country to fly to New Zealand. It is already night. It is in that distant country that a group of patriotic compatriots have dedicated their love to the children through the Foundation. This love is a beautiful rainbow flying over the ends of the earth.

I am grateful to the uncles and aunts of the Foundation for their love for the students.

Twenty years ago, the old alumni who built the school’s main teaching building also returned to their alma mater to participate in the activities for the Tieshi Township Primary School.

As a volunteer of the Foundation, I am sending a message to the children on behalf of the Foundation: The world outside is very big. Although the area you are in is remote, the fate of each person is uncertain. Knowledge is the wings that fly in the sky. You must Arm yourself with knowledge, have more sensitive thinking, and a smart mind. No one knows what will happen in the future, but you can use your hard work and study to create your own path. On the way to growing up, accompanied by books, I have created a school life that is not rich in material but rich in spirit. Happy learning, using knowledge to change fate. Ten years of planting trees, a hundred years of trees. May every book open a window, let the children fall in love with reading, and fall in love with the feast of this meal! May every love be cherished. The foundation donated not only the property, but also the feelings of fraternity. I hope that you will not only express your gratitude, but also the confidence to rise.

I sincerely hope that the children of Tieshi Township Primary School will study diligently, increase their knowledge and broaden their horizons, and inspire your great ambition to study hard from poverty in your hometown.

Children, when you grow up, you must help others and pass on your love. The love of others makes you feel warm, and your love makes others feel more happy!

I hope that after you grow up, be a person who is useful to the society and use your own practical actions to return the society to your hometown.
