I will send you some related information:

17 years ago, Che Zhizhong, former vice chairman of CPPCC in Laiyuan County, wrote to the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League to help 13 out-of-school students in Taomugeda Primary School in Laiyuan County, including Zhang Shengli, to launch the China Hope Project and moved China.

Che Zhizhong is actually a Beijinger, and his wife is also a foreigner. They are all 1959 college students who responded to the call of the motherland to support the construction of remote mountainous areas. Che Zhizhong graduated from Beijing Normal University, and his wife Jiang graduated from Hebei Medical University. What Che Zhizhong didn't expect was that his relationship with Laiyuan, a poor small county, was hard to give up until death. The launch of Project Hope was purely accidental.

During the period of 1987, Che Zhizhong, an ordinary teacher in Laiyuan No.1 Middle School, wrote a long article "My Opinions on Developing Tourism in Laiyuan County", which attracted the attention of the leaders of the county party committee. Later, Che Zhizhong became a county-level cadre and was elected as the vice chairman of Laiyuan CPPCC in charge of tourism.

One day in June+10, 5438, not long after serving as the vice chairman of the CPPCC, Che Zhizhong took his students and son to the depths of the mountains in the northwest of Laiyuan to inspect tourism resources. A village and a group of children in rags appeared on the top of the mountain at an altitude of 1800 meters. It took them several hours to climb the village, and they were surprised to find that the village was incredibly poor. The primary school is in a classroom with birch bark at the top and stones at the bottom. Most children have no shoes on their feet. ...

Che Zhizhong sighed and asked his son to take off his clothes and give them to the ragged children. He visited a family and left each of them a little money. After he came back, he collected a big bag of old clothes and gave them to others.

But in the following spring, all the 13 students in Taomugeda dropped out of school except the two children of the village head. A child named Zhang Shengli wrote a letter to Che Zhizhong, a "big official" in his mind. This letter, which was later widely circulated, touched the hearts of many people in China: "Grandpa Che, is there enough food in your family this year? My family is poor and my father won't let me study. But I still want to study and become a person who will win glory for my country like you when I grow up. "

This letter made Che Zhizhong insomnia, so he wrote to the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League and other units, calling on the whole society to pay attention to the reading problems of poor children. 1989 10 6 17, a group of 30 people from China Youth Development Foundation came to Taomuga Village to investigate the education situation of poor children, which opened the prelude to the Hope Project in China.
