For many people, their love for public welfare will make them abandon their small family and contribute more to social welfare. Therefore, for this old man, it is worth learning to give up tens of millions of luxury houses to the hope project!
An old man in Shanghai sold his villa and donated 20 million yuan to the hope project in his own name. At the forum held today to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the implementation of the hope project in Shanghai, Xu Zuqian, 71, the nephew of the old man, rushed to celebrate the hope project as an individual with the largest amount of donation.
The three story old villa is located at No. 28, Lane 1670, Huaihai Middle Road, Shanghai, with a construction area of 382.83 square meters and was completed in 1936. The owner of the villa was Xu Zuqian's grandfather and general manager of yipinxiang hotel in Shanghai.
Xu Zuqian is a middle school teacher. His Uncle Xu shaocun has lived in this villa on Huaihai Road for a long time. During his illness, uncle always paid close attention to the news of various social welfare organizations, and finally chose project hope. Xu Zuqian said that the construction project of hope primary school is one of the public welfare projects that most satisfy the whole family, because it pays attention to the children at the bottom of the society. We are very happy that the first hope primary school donated by uncle has been completed. '
It is reported that the Shanghai hope project office has raised nearly 800 million yuan in donations over the past 20 years. A total of 7.8 million Shanghai citizens have participated in the hope project, helping to build more than 2000 hope primary schools and more than 100 Red Army primary schools.
In recent years, with the comprehensive popularization of nine-year compulsory education for primary and secondary school students in China, Shanghai hope project has expanded the projects including teacher training of hope primary school, learning from Lei Feng fund, grant fund for realizing dream university, foundation for caring left behind children, fund for rural cultural construction, etc. In the future, the work focus of Shanghai hope office will be 'left behind children'. A number of 'home of hope for left behind children' will be built in the areas where left behind children gather in China, so as to create good conditions for the healthy growth of left behind children.
'uncle's wish is to do more things in time of help, not to add to the icing on the cake. I hope that what the project has done is in line with his original intention. "Xu Zuqian's point of view is that the hope project is good at flexibility." it will design different public welfare projects to help children in poor areas according to their different needs in each period.
