Gao Defu, 10, is a student in a primary school in a small village in Guizhou. He used to go hungry or have only an ear of corn for lunch at noon. But now, Gao and his classmates have better food and vegetable dishes for free every day, thanks to the free lunch program.
The program was started by Deng Fei, a journalist at the Phoenix Weekly (《凤凰周刊》). Early this year, Deng met Xiao Yu, a primary school teacher from Guizhou, and was told that students in Xiao’s school didn’t have lunch to eat. Instead, they drank water to make the feeling of hunger smaller.
According to this situation, Deng posted a message on his microblog (微博) saying he wanted to build a canteen (食堂) at Xiao’s school. The message soon got a lot of support and attention. In March, some 500 reporters, along with a dozen news organizations and charity funds (慈善基金), finally set up the free lunch program.
One lunch for one child only cost 3 yuan. People can donate for a meal, a month’s worth of meals, or a year’s worth of meals for children on the Internet by going http://www.mianfeiwucan.org.
According to the China Development Research Foundation (基金会), there are about 23 million resident students (住宿生) in central and western rural areas. Many of them come from poor families and can’t afford nutritious lunches. Now, schools with kids that can’t afford lunch can apply for help through the free lunch program’s official website.
In half a year, the program has raised more than 16 million yuan, providing free lunches for poor students in 77 schools.

6 . On the evening of February 17, 2021, the winners of Touching China were announced. Mao Xianglin, the party secretary(党支书) of Xiazhuang, Chongqing was among them.
In 1997, 38-year-old Mao started to work in this village. Around the village are 1000-meter-tall cliffs(悬崖峭壁), and there was only one way to get out of the village for many years. It took villagers three days to walk to the nearest town. Mao decided to build a road. “We can’t stay poor forever. I’ll lead us as we try, even though it will be hard.” Mao said.
He led more than 100 villagers to build the road with their hands. They hung from ropes and used different kinds of tools to build the road. It took them seven years to build an eight-kilometer road. But their work has improved people’s lives. It takes just one hour to drive to the nearest town now.
Mao then encouraged the villagers to grow oranges. Last year, their orange yield(产量) was nearly 40 tons. Young people have returned to the village to sell oranges online. By the end of 2019, 269 villagers had got out of poverty(贫困).
Mao, who will retire(退休) in five years, said, “Although the conditions are better, the spirit of the Xiazhuang people can’t be lost. It has to be passed down.”
1. Was Mao one of the winners of Touching China?2. When did Mao start to work in Xiazhuang?
