The foundation does not raise funds publicly. Most of its members are his relatives and friends from Hong Kong and Taiwan in the United States, Canada and China. Most of them are well-known figures in the cultural and educational circles, such as Professor Lee Cheuk-fen, Executive Vice President of the University of Hong Kong, Professor Pan Zongguang, President of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, etc.

Yan Kuanhu said that in fact, members of Fuhui are not wealthy people, but they are willing to contribute to education in China. The foundation's annual funds include more than 30 million Hong Kong dollars in start-up capital and the interest earned on long-term bonds purchased is more than 200.

In addition to the 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, the rest of the funds come from members' donations. We will do more if we have more, and we will do less if we have less. We will do our best.

Last year, Fuhui invested another 5 million yuan in the mainland.

Fuhui Foundation has two offices in Hong Kong and Shanghai.

The office property located on Changle Road in Shanghai was purchased by Yan Cui Changmin for US$300,000 in 1995 and donated to the foundation for use.

The entire tenth floor of the North Hoi Commercial Building in Queen's Road Central, Hong Kong, was donated by the directors Luk Chi-wah and his wife.

There are no rental expenses for the two offices, and administrative expenses are also borne by the directors. Travel, food and accommodation expenses, whether in Hong Kong or to various parts of the mainland, will be borne equally by the participants.

Project Hope in mainland China saw a decrease in donations due to negative news about corruption. Fuhui donated money to build schools and distribute scholarships in the mainland, mostly by its members themselves.

Yan Kuanhu said that in the first one or two years, they had no experience. A primary school with an investment of 300,000 yuan actually only cost 100,000 yuan. The extra money requested by the village cadres was misappropriated for other purposes.

Later, they discovered that the donation amount to build a two-story eight-classroom school with supporting Hope Primary School and a six-story middle school teaching building usually ranges from RMB 100,000 to RMB 500,000. The foundation will receive donations

100% payment will be remitted to provincial agencies, such as the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office, Overseas Friendship Association, *** Youth League Committee, Ministry of Education, and Ministry of Civil Affairs, and then transferred to the sponsoring unit in installments.

The foundation will send personnel to supervise the whole process of engineering design, construction, acceptance and commissioning.

The foundation distributes scholarships and bursaries to more than 20 colleges and universities every year, subsidizing and encouraging the issuance of college bursaries.

In addition to the tertiary institutions that are regularly subsidized, there are also individual student aid programs to help poor students with both good character and academic performance enter tertiary institutions.

Yan Kuanhu said that the students receiving care from Fuhui are from poor families. Most of their parents work in agriculture and their income is meager.

Because their children are ambitious and eager to go to school, many families are frugal and even go into debt to provide for their children to go to school. Some families are forced to have one child drop out of school in order to send another child to college or high school.

Fuhui delivers all scholarships and bursaries directly to the recipient students.

Yan Kuanhu and his wife Yan Cui Changmin make special trips to the mainland more than ten times a year, from universities in Shanghai, Tianjin, Shaanxi and other places to primary schools in Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu, traveling all over the country and even remote towns.

"In the process of assisting students and building a school, we were moved by the sincerity and loving responses of the students, and the unforgettable gratitude, joy and sorrow, and tears made us often filled with emotions during the journey. But I hope that I can continue to do so for the rest of my life.

Dedication, and never stop working hard," Yan Kuanhu recalled in "Wish", a publication published by the Fuhui Foundation.

In the filing cabinet of Fuhui's Hong Kong office, there are more than a dozen thick folders containing letters of thanks from sponsored students from the Mainland and replies from Yan Cui Changmin to students.

In addition to expressing gratitude to the foundation, those handwritings, which may be graceful or rough, also report in detail their academic progress and the change in their outlook on life from despair and low self-esteem to a positive and uplifting outlook on life because of the funding.

A student from Hubei University surnamed Zou said: "It is difficult for college students who have no worries to understand us poor students. They cannot feel the pressure from our economy and family. Your support to me is so precious.

It is more practical and valuable than giving help in times of need, and I am truly grateful!" A classmate named Li from North China Institute of Technology wrote in the letter: "You have continued to support me materially, and you have given me a lot of spiritual support.

Inspiration. Your generous support makes me realize the greatness of human nature. Just because I live in such a beautiful world, I hope to become one of you and help more Chinese children in the near future.

Become a happy child.” Part of Yan Cui Changmin’s daily routine is to write personal replies to students who write letters.

In those replies, which ranged from one page to three or four pages, she shared her rich life experiences and insights with her classmates who called her "Aunt Yan" or "Grandma Yan."

She talked about her arduous journey of studying when she was young and her inner feelings about engaging in charity student aid activities. She said that when she went to China to assist students, she was able to fulfill her wishes and see the laughter of many students, which made her very happy.

comfort.

She wrote in a reply to a sponsored student named Zhi Xiaoyan: "The spirit of compassion in Buddhism does not refer to money. It mainly means loving others as you love yourself, and empathizing with the sufferings of others.
