One day in June 2000, at a fund-raising party for out-of-school children in Jinping County and Malipo County in Yunnan held by the Chinese Embassy in the United States in New York, Mr. Liang Guanjun learned that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had designated counties for poverty alleviation. The school building was dilapidated and old, and a sense of mission of "donating funds to build schools is unshirkable" drove him to promise to donate to a hope school on the spot. A month later, he went to Jinping County for a field trip and saw that the teachers and students of Tongxinzhai Primary School in the county were still teaching in a school building with damaged walls and deformed roofs. The students had to walk more than half an hour on rugged mountain roads to go to school, and he felt very heavy. He immediately decided to donate money to build a school and renovate a road, spending a total of 300,000 yuan on two occasions.
After his trip to Yunnan, Liang Guanjun, in addition to his busy business and community activities, was always thinking about whether the Tongxinzhai school building was leaking? Has any classmate fallen down on the way to school? How is the progress of the new school building? In June 2001, the school informed that the new school building was successfully completed, and a stone hanging in Liang Guanjun's heart finally fell to the ground. He planned to take advantage of the opportunity to attend the "New Century Chinese Overseas Chinese Association Conference" to go to Tongxin Village in Jinping County to fulfill one of his wishes.
Liang Guanjun said: To cure poverty, cure ignorance first. I hope that the students will seize the time to study, become talents as soon as possible, and better serve the country in the future. This is also the common wish of us overseas tourists who donate funds to build Hope Schools.
During the conversation between teachers and students, Liang Guanjun learned that a boy had excellent academic performance but a poor family, and immediately promised to support him until he completed college.

Tibet's current policies are very good, but to achieve sustainable development in Tibet, we need to strengthen education and improve people's quality. Therefore, I donated money to build schools where children can learn a lot of knowledge.
