It is reported that Yonghong School is the most remote rural primary school in the southwestern part of Xiangtan County. It has a history of nearly 70 years and has accumulated rich campus culture and humanistic spirit. However, due to the limited educational funds in rural areas, the conditions and equipment for running schools are very difficult. Most of the students in school are children from poor families, such as left-behind children, single-parent families, etc., and the degree of poverty is even more severe. The holding of this public welfare activity can not only solve the problem of lack of some equipment in the school, but also bring more care and warmth to these difficult students.
