In 2006, Xia visited Xijie Primary School in Danfeng. The school was old and in bad condition. That made her very sad. She spent 20,000 yuan buying desks and books for the students.
In 2008, she took out 200,000 yuan and helped Zhaogou Primary School in Danfeng build a classroom building. It is a building with eight bright and clean classrooms, which is a complete change from what their old classrooms looked like. Five years later, Xia used 1 million yuan of her savings to set up the “Xia Sen Scholarship(夏森助学金)” to help high school and college students from poor families in Danfeng and Shangyou. So far, at least 182 students have gotten help from the scholarship to pay for their education.
Some students who got Xia’s scholarship went to Xia’s home to visit her in 2018. To their surprise, Xia and her husband led a very simple life. “I was moved by Granny Xia and her husband,” one student said.

When I was very young, people in our village lived by planting fruit trees. My grandmother always took me to the orchard (果园) on the hill. At that time, they had to carry water from the river at the foot of the hill to halfway up the hill. Even though we worked so hard, the production level of fruit was still low because it was short of water there.
One day, two young men led a group of workers to our village. They learned about the difficulties we faced, and later, canal (水渠) and other projects began to be built in my village, “Who are they ” I asked. “They are good men from our government,” my grandma answered.
Shortly afterwards, I moved to another city for my junior high school. The only reason I ever came back to my hometown was my grandmother.
One day, my family and I made time to return. We were surprised because everything had changed. The canal ran past every orchard so villagers didn’t have to go up and down the hill anymore. The river was now so clean that fish swam happily in it. When we arrived home, my grandma took out some fresh pears and apples. She told us that after the water conservation project (水利工程) was completed, a policy was made to encourage more people to increase the fruit production with clean water in the river.

China has the biggest population (人口) of all the countries in the world. Many of its people used to live in poverty (贫困). China set a goal of ending poverty by the end of 2020.

Helping girls
Zhang Guimei, 64, has helped girls to go to college for more than 40 years. She is the principal of the Huaping Senior High School for Girls in Lijiang, Yunnan. It was the first free senior high school for girls in China.

Planting mushrooms (香菇)
Jingdong Yi autonomous county (自治县) in Yunnan is famous for its wild mushrooms. However, people there used to be poor. They didn’t know how to grow the mushrooms on their own to make money.
In 2013, Zhejiang University in Hangzhou came to help. They brought experts to teach people how to grow mushrooms.

Last year, 22 families in the county made more than 5 million yuan from this business.

When I was very young, people in our village lived by planting fruit trees. My grandmother always took me to the orchard (果园) on the hill. At that time, they had to carry water from the river at the foot of the hill to halfway up the hill. Even though we worked so hard, the production level of fruit was still low , because it was short of water there.
One day, two young men led a group of workers to our village. They learned about the difficulties we faced, and later, canals (渠) and other projects began to be built in my village. They were good men from our government.
Later, I moved to another city. The only reason I ever came back to my hometown was my grandmother.
One day, my family and I made time to return. We were surprised because everything had changed. The canal ran past every orchard, so villagers didn’t have to go up and down the hill anymore. The river was now so clean that fish swam happily in it. When we arrived home, my grandma took out some fresh pears and apples. She told us that after the water conservation project (水利工程) was completed, a policy (政策) was made to encourage more people to increase the fruit production with clean water in the river.
Nowadays, many people live in a big city. However, we should not forget our hometowns where we are from.
