2020/10/21

October 17 is the seventh "Poverty Alleviation Day" in China, and 2020 is also the ending year of building a well-off society in an all-round way and the “13th five-year” plan.In the past five years, Harbin Institute of Technology(HIT) has provided assistance to Jinxiu Yao Autonomous County of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Tongle Village of Baiquan County of Heilongjiang Province and Luoning County of Luoyang City of Henan Province. In the past five years, HIT and the people in the areas supported have worked together to move towards a new life .

In the National High School of Jinxiu Yao Autonomous County in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, there are such a group of students who were born and grew up in the mountains and lived with the mountains and forests all day long. They are eager for their parents who are working away from home all the year round to come back home a few times, and even more eager to get out of the mountains through their own efforts. In this group of students, a thin and petite girl attracted the attention of the reporter. She is Huang Suyu. In June 2020, the reporter met her for the first time at a forum between Xiong Sihao, Secretary of the Party committee of HIT, and students of Jinxiu County National High School. When she spoke as a student representative, her eyes were shining with hope, and she told her learning experience with both voice and expression, revealing self-confidence and magnanimity from the inside out, which was completely different from other children in the mountains that the reporter had seen. In the exchange with the head teacher Mu Lunfen, the reporter learned that she was also an introverted and shy girl at the beginning with entering school. What is the reason for a child to present a different mental outlook in a short year?

"It was the optimistic and upward spirit of the teachers of the support education group of HIT that infected me, and the robot class they brought broadened my horizons. The age of the volunteer teachers is close to ours. They are our teachers, our brothers and elder sisters. I am more willing to open my mind to them. Their classroomsare very interesting, the teaching method is easy to understand, which make me find the direction and goal, let me have a clearer dream that I will  strive for.” Huang Suyu said.
