Hu Wanlong and His Students

After Yellow Sheep River Vocational Secondary School had computer classroom, Hu became more well-known. Both of the students and teachers were attracted by the mystery of the computer. He could be often seen patiently teaching and showing how to operate the computer. After Town and Talent established, Hu kept himself busy working at the activities. Both the employers of Town and Talent and his villagers knew that he did all of these for his hometown.

At the beginning of a term, Hu received a name list of three students who unable to pay the tuition, which was he had been worried about. He knew he had to visit the families. Before each term, many students in Yellow Sheep River Vocational Secondary School can not return school for having no money for tuition. Teachers visit and persuade the parents to try their best, but mostly the result turns out a failure. Thinking of the three students, Hu really had no courage to visit their families. One of them was Chen Bin whose father died when he was two and his mother remarried. From then on he lived with his grandma. Another was Tian Daxiang who was adopted by a couple over 60. One of the old couple got mental problem. Their dwelling was built in 1952 and the roof was lost shape. The third one was Han Canyun whose father carried coal on back for others. The long time hard work caused lung disease. The worse thing was he had other two boys also facing with dropping out. As he was worried and found no way out, Qi, a journalist, came to visit him. They talked about the three students and thought they should find a solution. After a careful consideration, they decided to visit Chen Ming, the general manager of the International Convention Center. After Chen heard of the three students’ stories, he took out 900 yuan to Hu saying the children must not drop out.
As Hu told the good news to Chen Bin’s grandma over 70, she was so grateful that she got her knees down before him. That moment strongly impressed Hu. It was worth doing more things for these people.
