   I saw my father and mother suffer such hardship and wither away over time, while my mother kept saying, ‘Dad and I can bear more hardship and exhaustion, but … we still can’t pay your school fees.’ At that moment, when I thought I would have to drop out of school, the village received the news of your gift, Guanlan Mama. You can’t imagine how happy I was to hear that you would support our schooling. We won’t let you down.
