Education Liu Further Pumped 20 Million Yuan into School Education

Guanghua High School has lately put its second campus into use in marking the completion of construction of a new modern school building for children in mountainous Xixu Township, Shexian County, Hebei Province.

Guanghua High School is a civilian-run publicly subsidized high school. The first of its kind known in China, the school was founded in 1986 with private funds from Liu Jinyu, national model in giving support to PLA, one among the ten outstanding help-the-poor figures nationally cited and a delegate represented at the 14th National Congress of the CPC. Though an old woman with little education received in her early years, at the age of about 60, she knows the full importance of education. Liu first made a donation of 7 million yuan, including her hard-earned savings scraped on food and expense, money put aside for starting a business, salaries of her sons and daughters, and money raised from varied channels, in constructing the first school building in Xixu Village. Though things have been more than a decade past, Guanghua High School has been made a school of high repute for high-quality teaching it has provided in the locality around. To meet people's demand for education in this mountain land, Liu further donated a new amount of 13 million yuan in construction of the second campus to Guanghua. A comprehensive school building over an area of 35.8 mu of land, with a floor space of 15,684 square meters for teaching, experiment, and indoor activities, the campus is reported to be run with an enrolment of 1068 junior and senior high students.
